construct garden and greenhouses on
large scale. Fifty acres will be de-
voted TO the raising of young trees, 70
acres TO vegetables, and IA acres TO
fruit trees, hothouses and hotbeds.
The great aim is to make Norway in
dependent of the foreign vegetable
market partly by raising vegetables,
partly by teaching others To raise
them. All the products will be sold
only to wholesalers who pledge them
selves TO retail the goods at reasonable
rates. Among the products mentioned
are asparagus. strawberries, raspber-
ries ar pie plant. All fumbling will
be avoided from the very start. for
Sam Eyde has engaged some of the
ablest gardeners of the country to con-
duct the work. There will also be a
few foreign experts among them. The
county gardener, Stem Stenerson, OF
Aarnes, will be the superintendent Of
the plants. Many young men will take
practical courses In gardening this
spring, so that the rest of the country
may be benefited by the institution a

THIS YANKEE GIRL
IS DOING HER BIT
ADOPTS A FRENCH VILLAGE AND
MARRIES A FRENCH
GENERAL.

PARIS-In humble village of Lor-
raine now being resurrected among
the devastations and ruins of war, a
wedding has been celebrated which
eloquently symbolizes the alliance be-
tween France and America. The bride
was Miss Pollok, the godmother of the
village, Vitrimont. The bridegroom
was a French general.
A few months ago, when Vitrimont
was still a heap of ruins, the papers
announced that a wealthy American
woman had adopted the village and
was to rebuild it at her own expense.
1t sounded to many like a good news
paper story, for it seemed rather a
tall order for one person, even though
she was an American.
But the "godmother of Vitrimont'
has proved that she does not promise
more than she can keep, for house by
house, street by street, Vitrimont is
rising from it's ruins. And those who

loved the old shomesteads have the
joy of seeing them resuscitated as
nearly as possible like what they were
before, with a few modern improve
ments here and there, so the villagers
have been calling down blessings on
their fairy godmother from over the
seas.
And it seems to them only right and
natural that one of their brave gen
erals should have turned up, like
Prince Charming, to offer his hand
and heart to their benefactress and
thereby turn her into a citizeness of
France. And it was just like her to
want to have the ceremony take place
in Vitrimont, which was thereby given
an occasion of giving vent to it's graft
tude for its rebirth -
And as a final touch to the memoir
able ceremony, General Petain himself
motored over to offer his good wishes
to his comrade- in-arms and Madame

AMERICAN FOOD
FOR GERMANY
BUT 1T is INTENDED FOR I'M
PRISONED SERBIANS AND NOT
FOR HE B0SCHE
BY GEORGE MARTIN

NGTON-Enormou quanti-
ties of American food are on the way
today to the kaiser's country.
The American government knows
about it. Is, in fact, glad of it. Did,
in fact, permit it to be sent and went
to considerable trouble to arrange a
routing so it would be sure to get
there
The shipment now enroute, which
will be followed by others to the value
of at least 100000, is 5000 sacks of
perfectly good American flour. Other
foodstuffs and clothing will be sent On
to German territory just as last as the
American government can get it
there.
The food and clothing, however, is
NOT going to German subjects, but to
Servian prisoners of war in Austrian
prison camps. Concerning the ship
ments, the American Red Cross said
today:
"As part of the Red Cross program
for aid to Serbia which has been I'M
dertaken in cooperation with the Serb
ian government, the eRd Cross has
Just shipped 5000 bags of flour to
Serbians in Austrian prison camps.
This is the first shipment of a
series of food purchases which the
Red Cross, in cooperation with the
Serbian government, is making in this
country for relief of prisoners. The
Serbian minister has deposited $780,
900 to the credit of the Red Cross for
the purchase of these foodstuffs.
The allies must provide living
necessities for their soldiers who are
captured, because the central pow
ers are not providing prisoners of war
with sufficient food to keep them in
good health. By arrangement with
Germany and Austria, prisoners are
permitted to receive extra rations and
clothing from their home governments.
Lack of supplies in Europe has forced
Serbia to buy in the United States.
THE shipments go to the Serbian
consul at Marseilles, and there through
the Serbian section of the Bureau de
Secours at Berne, Switzerland, to
prison camps in Austria.
1.-THE American Red Cross now has
special commission in Serbia, head
ed by Cordenia Arnold Severance of
St Paul, Mimi. The ravages of war
there are said to have been even worse
than in Belgium and Roumania, and
many Serbian refugees have been en-
tirely dependent upon America for re-

CAMP LEWIS-German sympathiz-
ers here are being rounded up and
placed in one military unit so they
can be more closely watched. Mil
itary authorities intimated today that
this work was nearing completion.
With all pro-Germans in one camp,
it will be easier for the authorities to
watch them and, if there are any
spies among them, the amount of in
formation they can secure regarding
military matters will be limited.
The number of German sympathiz-
ers is said to be surprisingly large.
This is due largely to the number of
Austrians who have been drafted.
Precautions are being taken to pre-
vent German sympathizers from do
ing lamage here such as burning all
or part OF the cantonment, destroy
ing supplies or interfering with camp
discipline.
