consists of about score Of prominent
men from all 'er the country. in
cluding the assistant secretary of ag-
riculture, Carl Vrooman; Hon. James
Wilson, formerly secretary of agri-
culture; Luther Burbank. and many
others equally eminent. This COM
mission has no other aim, object or
purpose than to stimulate the planting
and care of home gardens. 1t was
one of the first, if not the first or
ganization in the field. with "a mil
lion food gardens" for its original
goal, which it bids fair to see passed
by a wide margin. IF. }. B. the
Kitchen Door," is one Of the slogans
evolved by its president.
This slogan brings out one of the
most important features Of the home
garden movement and one that the
gardener should not forget in reckon
ing the advantages he will derive from
his labor. The home garden solves
good part of the problem OF trans
portation. American railroads will be
worked to the limit carrying troops
anu HiullltlOllo, DlCduStullo anu Sld-
Piles and live stock and other essen
tial freight. The $7,000,000,00O war
bond issue is to be spent entirely
in the United States, not only that
part which we use for our own pur-
poses, but also the billions that the
allies borrow. The greater part of
the products purchased are destined
for use in Europe. This means that
the railroads will have to haul them
to Atlantic ports. They will have TO
haul the coal and the ore ior NUM-
tion making. Every factory in the
country will be working under forced
draught and the railroads are the
vital arteries of manufacture. Ex-
perts have long been balancing trans
portation facilities against transport
tation needs with grave concern. The
home food garden will take a great
burden off the roads. If every city
and every section produces every pos
sible pound of food at home thou
sands of precious cars will be re-
leased for other essential service.

/ The garden gives everybody with a
bit of ground chance to render serv-
ice of great value, and patriotism
rather than profit is the chief motive
back of the work. People far too rich
to worry about the prices of food are
having their lawns and their flower
beds plowed for potatoes and onions.
On the other hand, people so poor
that they haven't enoug!. land and
sun to add much to the total crop are
working patiently and hard just to
give vent to their spirit of service.
Some of the most aristocratic resi-
dence streets in America will be
fronted by rows Of cabbages instead
of blue grasses and roses this sum-
mer. And down in the tenement dis
trict OF New York ther- is at least
one little girl who is raising a gar
den in the only flower pots she has
"a pair of battered wooden shoes
brought over from Holland. Thou
sands and thousands of apartment
house dwellers are planting beans and
lettuce in their wooden boxes in
stead of geraniums and chrysanthe-
NUNS. Between these extremes are
the hundreds of thousands of garden
ers who are planting anywhere from
fifty to 5000 square feet of soil to
feed or help feed the family with
vegetables.
The movement has been taken up
and is being pushed by all sorts of
organizations, and any movement in
this country which can get the sup
port of our numerous and energetic
organizations is sure of success.
Boards OF trade are behind the gar
den campaign in almost every princi-
pal city, with concrete encouragement
which runs in one case as high as
$25,000 cash. Mayors garden COM
mittees have been appointed in sew
eral hundred of the largest cities
in the nation. Practically every wo-
mans club has taken the matter up,
and in many cases these clubs were
the first bodies to start the work in
their local fields. The Boy Scouts
and the Girl Scouts are pushing the
campaign in wholesale fashion. The
Young Mems Christian association
and the Young Women's Christian as
sociation have done much good work
in many sections. Before the first of
June the vacant lot iii. nothing
growing on it is likely to be fenced |
and exhibited as a curiosity.
Probably the leading nonofficial Or
ganizatior engaged exclusively in
pushing the campaign is the National

Ethel Barrymore in Big
Special Feature at Sun

From all advance reports, Ethel
Barrymore in THE Call of Her
People" a special release by the
Metro Pastures Corporation, and
which shows at the Sun theatre the
last three days OF this week, bids
fair to being one OF the film treats
of the season. One OF the leading
trade journals says of this feature:
THE perturbation which Metro OF
fers OF Edward Sheldon's Egypt
under the title of The Call of He-
People" is highly commendable boil
as a screen version of good play and
picture for the lovers OF photoplay
entertainment Simplicity marks the
plot, effectiveness its development
artistry its presentation, and the act
ing is excellent.
"Of particular note is the perform
ance of Ethel Barrymore. The
play is better suited to Miss Barry
more than any other in which she has
appeared, and while those who have
seen her on the stage will continue
in their conviction that the screen is
the lesser of the two mediums for
the star, she is still Ethel Barrymore.
"The Call of Her People" presents
this star to picture -goers in a far
more favorable light than any of her
previous pictures.
THE picture as a whole is distinct
ly in the class OF special offerings.
The production, without being spec
tacular, has an air of dignity and big
ness that is in no sense a part OF
the average screen offering. Picto-
rial beauty and atmosphere have their
place in every scene and from the be-
ginning to the end the action has
that pleasing effect which only real
ism bounded on all sides by artistry
can bring 10 the spectator,
"For this latter sterling quality is
John w. Noble, the director, re-
sponsible. The confirmed critic might
call attention to the fact that few
scenes showing natives Of the town
gathering into the fold of the lynch
ing party would have heightened the
effect OF the portion of the play in
which this incident occurs, but even
such a person would be forced to ad-
nit that slch a course would only
serve to improve upon something that
is now tho roughly good and entirely
capable of furthering the interests OF
the play so far as the casual observ-
er is concerned. On the technical
side it can be said without hesitation
that the lightings and photography
leave nothing to be desired

Washington, June 8.-"Let me sug-
gest that everyone who creates or
cultivate a garden helps and helps
greatly" said President Wilson in his
service proclamation, thus putting the
home vegetable gardener in the same
class with the soldier, the munition
maker and the ship carpenter, as one
of those whose efforts will set the day
of victory. And the home gardener
has responded right nobly. While
the revenue bill was being riddled by
blasts of protest, while the army bill
was plowing through committees,
while the building bill was being
criticised and recast, the army of
home gardener was shouldering its
spades, turning up the moist and win
ter-rested soil to heaven. and poring
over government manuals on the art
OF vegetable gardening.
1t is not too soon to estimate
some Of the probable results. There
is still time TO plant few thousands
or tens Of thousands more gardens;
the lateness Of the spring gives the
more backward citizens a chance to
retrieve their patriotic standing; but
enough gardens have been planted to
enable it to be said that the small
vegetable production the United
States will be about 700 per cent this
year over what it was last, and that the
value of the products will be in
creased by some $300,000,000. This

street is rapidly gaining popularity
and success by reason of its excellent
handling of its patronage. In his OPEN

be relied upon to give satisfactory
service. AS mail carrier for 20 years,
Mr.. McDivitt has become one of the
most widely known citizens of Mime

tanned about four years ago compelled
him to seek business not requiring
SO much physical activity, and the re-
suit was the organization of his pres
