BACK YARD GARDENS.

BACK YARD GARDENS. -. Why
not draft those who have back yards
into the service of raising vegeta-
bles? The policeman on the beat
could be instructed to go from door
to door and remind people that it is
a patriotic duty to raise something
edible. Two bushels of potatoes
raised in each back yard in Chicago
would undoubtedly increase that
crop 100000 bu. People are not re-
spending to the call for more food
production as they should, but they
do howl when they have to pay the
cost.
I have an opportunity to observe
many back yards every day, and I ex-
peCted to see the majority getting
their little truck gardens ready about
this time. But l am somewhat dis
appointed. In the block where Ilive
out of some 80 back yards, mine is
the only one with a vegetable patch
so far.
One hundred bushels could be pro-
duced right in this block. This is
true Of almost every neighbOrhood
Placing the flag in the window or
wearing the colors on the lapel of
your coat are patriotic signs, but
raising spuds in your back yard is
far more patriotic, and if people are
too Indifferent to volunteer they
should be forced. Remember, we are

This young man had seven years
of actual aviation experience, built
his own flying machine, designed its
engines and cast and finished them
with his own hands. Along with be-

orator and had at one time one of the
best radio sets on the Pacific coast.
He claims to be able to pass any
physical, mental or mechanical test.
If this young man tells the truth,

SAME OLD THINGS.
BY Cynthia A. Watterson.
We find some fault with our alleys,
tbs true;
We have raved until the air is blue,
But it seems to do US no good,
So the wisest way
Is just to bury the cans away.
THE thirty, sixty and ninety-day
submarines
Increase with each passing year
Because our alderman,
In his little sphere,
Smokes his Havana,
Grins and sings,
And keeps on handing US
The same old things.

How much do babies COST said he
The other night upon my knee,
And then I said; "They cost a lot:
A lot of watching by cot,
A lot of sleepless hours and care,
A lot of heartache and despair
A lot of fear and trying dread,
And sometimes many tears are shed
In payment for our babies small,
But they are really worth 1t all
For babies people have to pay
\ heavy price from day to day,
There is no way to get one cheap.
Why, sometimes when they're fast asleeT
You have to get up in the night
And go and see that they're all right,
Hut what they cost in constant care
And worry does not half compare
With what they bring of joy and bliss
You'd pay much more for just kiss,
Who buys a baby has to pay
A portion of the bill each day,
He has to give his time and thought
Unto the little one he's bought.
He has to stand a lot of pain
Inside his heart and not complain,
And paw with lonely days and sadA
For all the happy hours he's had
All this a baby costs, and yet
His smile is worth it all. you bet.

it had been the browning event of south
ern history.
{ think the present war excitement has
revived interest in these memorial day
exercises. There seemed to be unusual
enthusiasm in both Thomaston and Grit
fin. The charming weather had much
to do with the larg eattendance. School
children took unusual interest in Con-
federate history also. a smart girl in
an Epson county rural school was
awarded five dollar gold piece for her
excellent esay on Presidents Lincoln
and Davis. In Griffin the Daughters OF
the Confederacy awarded two beautiful
gold medals to successful contestants in
the public schools also. These medals
will become hierlooms for succeeding
generations.
A truly important history of the wal
between the state is yet to be written. II
would seem that fifty years would Sc
completely soften the minds of history
writers-that they might have clear WIS.,
ion and impartial utterance, but that
time has not yet arrived.
Perhaps the reunion in Washington
City in early June will have good effect
on this line.
Let us hope that it will soften exist
ing asperities and harmonic ultra sec
tional prejudices!

man. To be wholly happy a wife should
understand and be interested in all that
pertains TO her husbands life.
IL took me many years to learn this
simple truth. Like many women hated
all interests that took Robert away from
me. I even hated his office because he
spent hours there which l considered
he should devote TO my entertainment.

complainings. IF 1 were I might spend

You simply apply a few drops of
