HOME FARMERS EAGER
TO ADOPT GREEN CROSS
Suburbanites See Great Value in
Acceptance of Insignia and
Making 1t National
SEEK FEDERAL APPROVAL
Steps Taken to Obtain Endorsement Of
Idea by Secretary
Houston

Scores Of residents in the outlying Sec
ttons of the city and suburbs who are
raising crops In their own gardens strongly
ndorsc the Green Cross.
They believe that the soldiers of the
soil. whose army now extends to every
nook and corner OF the United states. should
have some insignia which would keep the
food-producing idea permanently before the
public. II is generally agreed that ths
Green cross would be the most appropriate
symbol for this very necessary work.
As 1t is the hope of those interested to
have such an organization national In scope.
steps have been taken to obtain official in
dorsement of the proposed organization at
Washington. should the plan receive the
approval Of Secretary Houston. OF the De-
pArtmont of Agriculture. there Is little
doubt of its adoption In all parts of the
United States.
Tho Green Cross would not i'm any way
Interfere with other food-producing organ
iZattons. but would simply be "A parent
body and serve TO prevent duplication Of
effort
Some Of tho biggest home farmerss
along the Main Line are enthusiastic over
the plan and have expressed willingness
to do all in their power to make the pro-
posed organization success
Among those who have voiced approval
nf the proposed Green Cross up to the
present time are J. Russell Smith. professor
nt industry and director of food growers
hattalionS for the University of Pennsyl-
wanna; James H. Dix. superintendent Of
the Philadelphia Vacant Lots Cultivation
Association: John Y. Frazec. associate

THE OLD MAN

My bearS-Somo of you love to hear
about newspaper Offices. and ! must tell
you the story of dear old man who used
I" write for wcll-knowu paper Every
day he wrote column, about twice as much
as write for you each day.
Somebody bought the paper whore he
worked and put him IN a little hole under
the stairs.
lie did not complain, but kept ON his
work until one day he asked for vaCa-
tion. while he was gone the column did
not appear.
BY and by letters came TO the office and
Stll more letters wanting to know what
had become of the dear old man. There
were 50 many letters that they almost filed
his little hole under the stairs.
Now, when the u. -. y. came home,
what do you think the new owners did
to him? They put him in a big office with
"A new shiny desk and new typ2writcr.
There was plenty of light ana air and the
u. -. NJ hardly knew what to do,
What is the lesson you may learn from
this? What | have told you before. DO
not be discouraged, for if you really have
ABILITY it viii ALWAYS show.
The u. -. NJ. went away-his readers
