Cutting Out Early Buying
at Columbia Markethouse

Columbia, Pa, May 2.-Four hun
dred people assembled in front of the
Fourth Street Market here one hour
before the time for opening and
clamored for admittance. Market
Master Bartley declined to admit
buyers before the time set by coun-
Gil as the opening hour and his ac-
ton nearly caused Il row among the
populace on the outside. The market
master was threatened and was told
that the crowd would storm the
doors, but he remained obdurate ana
refused to violate the rule to accom-
modate the buyers. Finally, when
the doors were opened, there was a
rush for foodstuffs and the farmers
reaped a harvest. 1t is the intention
of the authorities to break up the
practice of admitting buyers before
the regular hour, as heretofore, early

Get Out and Hoe
Garden Says Herrick

Cleveland, May 2.-The country
would be safeguarded against de-
ficiency of foodstuffs if every able
bodied man and woman in and
around villages, towns and cities
should cultivate all the available
vacant plots, according to Myron #.
Herrick, member of the National
Emergency Food Garden Commits
sion. He declares that the produc-
ton of food from this source would
assure abundance of food for all our
needs.
1T is the duty of all to get busy"
he said to-day. If you cannot go to
the front. get out in the backyard
and hoe"
Aside from the patriotic side to
this work, Mr.. Herrick explained the
good returns that can be realized by
the planter on this kind of invest
ment.
One of the most wonderful sue
cesses through the cultivation of
small plots mentioned by Mr.. Her
rick was the case of John S. Ware,
of Bridgeton, n. j., who produced
more than $2,100 worth of vege-
tables on one and one-eighth acres
of ground, not counting what was
used by his family.
BridSeton IS less than one-half day
by freight from New York City. If
all the farm land and vacant city
lots within that distance of the
metropolis were cultivated. New
York would have foGdstuffs produced
practically at its very doors in suf-
hcient quantity not only for the
needs of its millions, but also with
a surplus to send to the hard-pressed
people across the Atlantic, accord
ing TO Mr.. Herrick.
Mr.. Wares example has ben fol-
lowed by others in Bridgeton until
the town has become the center of a
veritable garden spot. This outdoor
life, besides being profitable, brings
health and longevity.
Mr.. Herrick suggests that one
fourth oe an acre would be the
proper amount of land to cultivate
for a man who has office hours to
keep.

Carson Resigns as Head

By Associated Press

London, May 2. - Rumors of i'm

Sir Edward Carson and his col

''If Sir Edward Carson should de-
sire to leave the admiralty, which is
likely enough, it would be for entire
