GREAT NEED OF
WAR GARDENS

"Food first" is the one personal
call of the war that comes to every
man, woman and child. Not all of US
can join the fighting forces, as labor
in the fields or factories, producing
food or military supplies is needed.
But every one of US can render vital
service in meeting the great food
problem. President Wilson states
Americas obligation is: first, feed
ourselves; second, help feed our al
lies, and third, to do what we can to
help neutrals where that can be done
without also helping our enemies.
This means for us: first, to produce
more; second, to consume less, and
third, stop waste.
Get the idea of "food first" as your
war job firmly gripped in your mind.
There are millions of gardens in
the United States this year that were
rot here last year. They are war
gardens The people who made them
want to do what they can to help win
the war. Do you want to win? Then
get down to business and help to
win. Plant a war garden.
The food conservation committee
Of the Woman's Club, Mrs. E. c. Ben
nett chairman, will have a big war
garden contest in the spring, and by
planting a garden now, with the ex-
perience you will gain therefrom,
you will be ready to join this contest
next spring.

AGE COULD NOT
QUEL[ HIS ARDOR
A Veteran of 1870 Left His Home in
America to Fight for
France Again

With the American Troops in
France, Sept. 21.-The most remark
able soldier in the entire French
army is George LIE Mesnager of 354
Douglas street, Los Angeles, Cal.
If there be any towards and slack
..ers in America, let them know LIE
Mesnager's story and be ashamed.
Early in September, 1914, an old
man walked down the gangplank of a
steamer just arrived at Havre,
France, from America.
His hair once black, would soon be
white. Shaggy eyebrows shaded eyes
that always twinkled. A reddish
brown beard made him look older
than he really was. His carriage was
military.
War had been declared in France a
lew weeks before and the authori-
ties were suspicious of entering
strangers.
LIE Mesnager had hardly reached
the dock before he was in the Gus
tody of the police who demanded his
business.
"I'm here to enlist in the army, -
he said in perfect French. The gen
darme laughed derisively.
"What, an old man like you enlist
in the army! Imposible!"
LIE Mesnager took from his pocket
little case that contained the high
est medal a French soldier can re-
ceive.
'I came from America and fought
for France in 1870 and they gave me
this" he said simply. "Ive come back
TO fight again"
1t was no time for quibbling. The
Germans were hammering their way
toward Paris and every available
Frenchman was being rushed to
arms.
The gendarme said: eff you are de-
tarmined TO enlist, there's a recruit
ing station down the street"
The recruiting officer hesitated: "A
man Ga years old and private in the
infantry! It's almost unheard of"
LIE Mesnager's Franco-Prusslar

night he was on troop train for the
front.
That was three years ago. Today
