New Txpe of vampire"

Arrest at the instance of an army
officer of a young woman who had
committed bigamy in order TO secure
the allowance granted to soldiers de-
pendents gives color TO the warning
issued against this new type of "vam-
pire," notes the Omaha Bee. Young
soldiers are picked out by these w0m-
en- and deliberately led into marriage,
the one purpose being TO secure money
from the government. The game is
not a new one, nor does it exhibit
much modification in its details. 1t is
reported from some of the Southern
army camps that as many as three
and four soldiers have been welded
to the same woman. The young men
who are away from home for the first
time, wearing their country's uniform,
should be warned that marriage is not
merely an enlistment for the war, and
therefore to be approached very seri-
Ousiy. Romance is part of a soldiers
life. but 1t may have consequences
that will embarrass him in after
years. The vampire" is one of his
chiefest dangers, and one against
whom it is difficult to guard.

heard a noise and saw dark forms
moving. My rifle was lying across the
sandbagged parapet. / reached for it,
and was taking aim to fire, when my
mate grasped my arm, and whispered,
Don't fire." He challenged in a low
voice. The reply came back instantly
from the dark forms:
"Shut your blinkin' mouth. you
bloomin' idiot; DO you want us to click
1t from the Boches?
Later we learned that the word, mo
challenging or firing, wiring party out
in front" had been given to the sentry
on our right, but he had failed to pass
1t down the trench. An officer had over
heard our challenge and the reply, and
Immediately put the offending sentry
under arrest. The sentry clicked
twenty-one days on the wheel. that is,
he received twenty-one days field pun
ishment No. l, or "crucifixion." as
Tommy terms if.
This consists of being spread-eagled
on the wheel of a timber two hours
day for twenty-one days, regardless of
the weather. During this period, your
rationS consist of bully beef, biscuits
and water.
A few months later met this sentry
and he cOnfided to me that since being
'crucified," he had never failed TO pass
the word down the trench when so or
dered. In view of the offense, the
above punishment was very light, in
that failing to pass the word down
trench may mean the loss of many
lives, and the spelling of some impor-
tant enterprise in No Mans Land.

MORE WAR GARDENS
NEEDED IN STATE
BY JAMES C. MOORE,
Department OF Horticulture, University
of Wisconsin.

Have a backyard garden. You will
be surprised TO find how much food
you can raise on very small space.
Besides. there never was time
when the planting of a garden was so
important. The world is short OF food
and each family should do its part by
growing as much as II can of the supi
ply which II viii use this summer and
need next fall and winter.
Thousands Of town and city men and
women are already doing what they
can to overcome this shortage. They
are planning TO grow Just az many
vegetables rs possible for winter stor-
age and canning, as well as for sum
mer use.
Foot for foot, gardens in city or
country yield 10 to Is times more album
dantiy than farm land devoted to gen
eral crops. The gardener IS an inten-
sive farmer on small scale. half
acre easily produces vegetables worth
800 at normal prices. while smaller
tracts do even better"
There is another point that must be
emphasized-this spring Will not be the
time for halfhearted attempts at gar
dening. The slogan Of this nation
wide r1ovement is Get in and Stay
In" If you are not determined to
"stick." don't start; but before decld-
ing consider carefully what the de-
clsion may mean to you and your fam
lily next winter.
Remember II requires more than
talk and a few five-cent packages of
garden seeds to make a profitable

Madison - Unless beekeepers are
permitted to obtain sugar necessary
for the bees. the supply OF honey pro,
duced by Wisconsin this year win
show decided falling of. The long,
hard winter has in many cases redue-
ed the bees supply of honey below the
danger point If such colonies are not
fed they will dwindle and die, or at
least will not be able to build
up in time for the honey flow.
Only strong colonies are prof
table producers. Accordin gto the
State Food Administrator, a few
pounds of sugar may make difference
of fifty or 100 pounds in the amount of
honey colony will produce during the
approaching summer. DR.. +, ID. Ball
State Entomologist. who has charge OF
apiary inspection, states that the bee
keepers should go before a notary and
make affidavit to the number of colon.
les of bees, the number of pounds OF
sugar necessary to carry them through
the season. that the sugar thus Sc
cured will not be used for any other
purpose. and if any part of it is not
used that it will be turned back TO the
dealer supplying it. They should also
give the dealers name and address.
If such an affidavit is properly filled
out and sent to the State Food Ad'
ministration, at Madison, dealers will
be authorized to furnish the necessary
sugar.

nralnane Good for All.

There are many prejudices against
drainage which must be overcome. The
lower land owner usually objects to
having the upper land owner drain his
land. Experience has convinced us
that thorough drainage OF the higher
land actually lessons the amount Of
food water discharged upon the lower
land. because It makes the higher land
serve ms n dry sponge to retard the
flow Of surface wafer. Furthermore
the water flowing through the tile is no
more than the amount that would enter
the lower land as seepage If the tile
