Snapshots Of Kaleidoscope Work.
In all the big cities in France where
our men pass through In large num-
bers, the Y. M. G. A. is operating
hostels, where they can get beds and
meals at minimum cost. In London
the American Y. M. c. A. mas erected
large building for our soldiers and
clubhouse for American officers.
There are Y. M. C. A. dugouts right
behind the front line trenches, where
the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack
ers and other comforts at all hours.
Over 1000 men who had been reject
ed on account Of physical disability
have been able to get into the British
army by reason Of the physical work
of the British Y. M. G. A.
A fleet OF motor cars leaves the big
Y. M. G. A. headquarters In London at
midnight every night to pick up SOL
diers who are wandering about the
streets without any wholesome lodging
in which to spend the night. These
cars are operated by Englishwomen
Of position and refinement, who report
that they never meet any discourtesy
at the hands OF the soldiers. The i'm.
portance OF this service can be esti'
mated by the fact that at least $4,000
soldiers are on leave In London every
week. Over half OF these sleep In Y,
M. c. A. beds every night.
Entertainment on Vast Scale.
The Y. M. c. A. has erected big
auditorium, seating 5000, in each Of
the big draft camps, and huge chautau
qua tents, seating $500 in the otnel
encampments The association Is run
ming a % week entertainment circuit
among the camps and is paying II

Vegetables to
Be Home GroiUn
More Than Ever

With prospects of late season in
every available inch of ground for gar
den purposes this spring, local mer-
chants are not looking for a very large
trade in fresh vegetables this year As
vet, however. not many local gardens
are ready to produce, so that most OF
the fresh stock on the market now is
shipped in and consequently rather eX-
pensive. Several grocers have good
variety on hand and expect more daily
Fine wax beans may be purchased al
90 cents a pound, and green beans are
also available at IS cents. These are
shipped in from southern Illinois. Rhu-
barb, ca riots and beets, all good spring
vegeta bles, are on the market at vari-
Gus prices. Rhubarb is about the
cheapest. selling at s cents pound
with carrots and beets at prices rang
ing from to Is cents bunch Celer!
is sent from Florida and California anC
sells at about Is cents bunch, which
makes it rather a luxury.
Strawberries have been here for some
weeks. but are still shipped from as
far south as Louisiana. and are priced
accordingly. They sell two boxes fol
35 cents, and are not Of especially gooG
flavor.
Home grown asparagus has made its
appearance, as we'll as lettuce. while 9
few home grown radishes have beer
offered. but not in abundance. Toma-
toes. shipped In. are high, at 40 cents 9
pound. Cucumbers are also expensive
Unusually large sales Of seeds are
reported by grocers and others this
spring. signifying that every one who
can possibly do so will make his owr
garden this year in accordance witt
the national movement. 1t is probable
that most people will raise enough Of
the common vegetables to supply theil
own wants, and make the grocers
stock correspondinsly smaller.

BANKERS ASSIST FARMERS
IN ESTABLISHING THEIR
FARM LOAN ASSOCIATIONS

There can be little question as to
the benefits Of long time loans to
farmers at more reasonable rates than
they have been paying In some local
ities in the past. The bankers them
selves, some of whom at first were
prone to criticise the propriety of the
Farm Loan Act, are now taking a very
favorable attitude. In many locali'
ties local banker is acting as secre'
tary-treasurer of the local loan asso.
citation This, it seems to me, is quite
desirable.
The local banker usually has not
only the confidence Of the local people,
but he has had the right kind of bust
ness experience to handle the affairs
of the association in the best manner.
And fully as important as these
reasons | believe Is the fact that by
being in such close touch with the
members Of the local farm loan asso.
citation he viii be in the very best pos
sblc position to advise with prospec'

many OF them widely known through
out Tennessee for years past, are:
Lespedeza Farm, Silleba Farm, Fair
