Urges Union Men to Volunteer.

Dr.. Van Schaicl urged the unions
representative &c stir up the union
men," SO that some of the best men in
the organization would seek the posi-
ton, even though the schools were un-
able to pay them as much as they are
now earning.
Let one of them accept this posi-
ton, even at a sacrifice of two or three
hundred dollars q year, so they can
engage in Il broad, public service,
urged DIR. Van Schaick.
DIR. Van Schaick read from letter
which he had sent to Mr.. koockogey,
and which said, in part:
Il believe emphatically in the union.
I personally sympathiZe with the strug-
gle of organized labor for larger OPP
portunity. Other things being equal. l
think that man who joins union
and stands by his fellows is a better
type of man than the one who never
thinks of the common good. But as a

Washington base ball club he has been
the guest of the Cardinals at a banquet
given in his honor, and the spread last
night at Rammers Hotel eclpsed, in
point of interest taken and entertain
ment afforded, any of the previous
functions.
Thomas A. Fisher, who is mayor of
the city because Alexandrians will not
permit him to relinquish the office. gave
evidence of why by the genial manner
in which he welded the gavel in his
capacity of POSTMASTER. 4 number of
speakers were called upon to address
the assemblage, but interest naturally
conferred in the remarks of Griff, as he
is affectionately called by the residents
of the Old Dominion. The Nationals
pilot told his auditors he believed the
Nationals would display more punch
this year than they ever had, and said
he was confident the team would de-
corded it by Alexandria fans. He also
offered the Cardinal club a game with
his athletes on either April 2 or 3. at
the option of Manager Harvey Crump.
Testimonial to S. A. Breen.
Although the affair was given in
honor of Manager Griffith. it took on
the aspect of testimonial to Sylvester
A. Breen. who, as president of the Car
dinal Athletic Club. has done SO much
for athletics in Alexandria and for the
physical upbuilding of the youth of the
city. In addition to the sporting writ
ers of the Washington papers. DR.. r.
l.. Wilkins, Mike Martin, E. c. Hard,
s. D. Drayton and J. w. Murphy were
called upon for remarks. J. William
May contributed number of enter
tanning stories, and Tony Sousa gave
some of his inimtable Italian dialect
doggerel his arraignment of ''Tamma
da Feesh'' for permitting ''prohibeesh"
being vociferously received.

present were Mayor Thomas A. Fisher,

To HELP NATION

is One Suggestion.

Make every yard garden, IS
the suggestion offered by South
Benders who realize the likelihood
OF food shortage next year should

all canned goods and other food
stuffs Although 1000 school chill
dren are expected TO take part II
the city's third annual home and
garden contest on the 100 vacant
lots that are 10 be cultivated, il is
urged that every back yard in the
city be utilized for garden purposes.
To further the interest already
aroused in intensive city gardening
il has been suggested that a corps Of
speakers be sent to the parochial
and public schools Of south Bend to
impress on the children the neces-
sity Of back yard gardening. The
speakers could explain why the
United States is at war with Ger
many. how every child in the city can
"do his or her bit" by doing some
planting, and of what great value
the products raised would be to the
nation.
While men and women are enlist
ing in the nations lighting and hos
pital forces, the children of the land
could do their patriotic bit" toward
bringing the war to the successful
conclusion by mObiliZing a garden
army. This army of Juvenile back
yard gardeners, by raising immense
amounts of food-stuffs, would be of
as much value TO the nation as
would "Roosevelt's hundred thous-
and rough riders" Ii is realized
that food, particularly potatoes and
other vegetables such as could
easily be raised in every South Bend
back yard. is what the United States
will need for its army even more
than ammunition
In South Bend there are approx
mately 10000 back yards available
for garden purposes. More than
5000 persons could be fed for a
year on the products raised from
them if every school child would
devote 20 minutes daily TO the cult
walton of his little patch.
Planting time, however, can not
be delayed much longer. A little
hOeing should be done at once and
the seed placed in the ground with
