us only natural however, that those few
cases should excite the feeling that the
spirit of the community should in some
way be enforced by law upon those who
were not willing to cooperate of their
own initiative. This has made possible
the enecttve operation of our selective
service law and has found expression
al:o in your compulsory work law.
Il particularly admire the care the

Ten Thousand Gardeners Wanted.

Better organization, it is expected,
will enable the home gardeners Of the
District to raise larger crops this season
than last During last summer 5000 per-
sons cultivated plots of ground
and raised S260,0G0 worth of foodstuffs
This year, with larger number of gar
deners as a result of the organization
of the District into clubs and neighbor-
hood groups, and with the experience of
last season as a guide, it is believed
that larger area VIII be titled and that
the products viii be more valuable. The
success of this movement is not to be
measured by the money value of the
products alone. though that is an index,
but by the contribution made to the
tables of the Districts people. With a
population greatly increased it is i'm
portant that this community go as far
as possible in the way of being self
sustaining in vegetable foods Corn,
potatoes, turnips, eabbages, tomatoes,
lettuce, beets, radishes, lima beans,
onions, string beans and peas can be
grown readily. Practically all of these
can be preserved in one form or an
other for winter use, so that the bene-
fits of intensive gardening during the
warm season can be realized for many
months afterward. Advantage is being
taken of the lessons taught by last years
gardening 70 secure cooperation in all
parts of the District where land is avail
able. It is to be hoped that at least
10000 individual cultivators will be at
work this summer, and that the District

New Voters at the Polls.

? The democrats were successful In a.
-four OF the New York congressional dis
tricts where special elections were held
yesterday. Such had been the calcula-
ton as to three of the districts, but in
one the republicans were thought to have
a chance. In that, however, as in the
others, the democrats were easily vic
tUiols.
All were straight contests between the
two old parties In only one were the
socialists factor; and in that, while
they outnumbered the republicans at
the polls, they did not come anywhere
near eleeting their candidate.
The feature of the returns of most
interest relates to the part played by
the women That seems to have been
very much to the credit of the new
voters They did not, it is true, register
in large numbers. But neither did the
menthe old voters. The usual apathy

Among the regishants, however, the
most activity was shown by the women.
Ninety per cent of them cast their bal
lots, while only some 50 per cent of the
men did

had prepared in advance for the fune-
ton, and participated readily and with
