In Paris there is no music. there
is no dancing and no one dresses
in the evening. even for the opera.
l do not remember seeing one single
man in evening clothes all the time

up OF the things which they love
is one of the surest ways to know
that the French people have subor-
dinated everything to the winning
of the war-as win they will.
Don't worry about France ever
giving up. The only way the Kai-
ser will win there is to conquer with
the sword. He has tried all of his
insidious underground ways to un-
dermine the people and there are
several gentlemen in Paris now
awaiting trial in prison for having
aided him in his efforts. One of
them has been convicted and sem
fenced to death and unless 1 miss

GIRL SCOUTS CALLED TO
WAR GARDEN WORK

BY HELEN MARGARET TEW.
CGirI Scout of Washington, ID. c..
who Won a National Certificate
of Merit for the Best Canned
Vegetables Grown I'm Her Own
Garden Near the White House.)
Girl Scouts of the country have
a fine opportunity to aid their
country by planting war gardens
this spring.
You can do no greater service
to your country than to help pro-
duce food and then follow that by
helping to save it. I never enjoyed
anything quite so much as the
work in food conservation, but of
course We must produce food be-
fore we e'can preserve it.
Every Girl Scout in the country
should write to me in care of the
National War Garden Commission,
Washington, and ask for a food
garden primer. Then you should
organize the troop for a garden
planting campaign or join some
community campaign in a body.
Our soldiers must have food, so let
each of us be a soldier of the soil
and help win the war.

Like everything else a garden is
better if it is planned well before
even the first spadeful OF earth has
been turned.
The profitable garden is the one that
has been laid out mentally and on
paper. No other garden is worth
while. Unless your garden is a profit
maker to you 1t won't help Uncle Sam
in his food production campaign this
year.
You have decided upon the plot and
what you want to grow in that plot.
Now you want to decide how you're
going to do it.
Good gardeners long ago discarded
the theory that vegetables should be
grown in beds-a bed of this and an
other of that.
Plan long rows, the longer the bet
ter. If necessary you can sow two
or more vegetables in the same row,
being careful to put in the same row
plants of about the same size and
which mature at about the same time.
For example: Lettuce, radishes, set
onions, may be in the same row, but
not parsnips and cabbages, for the
parsnips rows may be nearer each
other than the cabbage rows.
II possible have the rows run from
north 20 south, thus giving the sun
better chance to get all around each
plant.
Most back yards and some vacant
lots have shady spots. No vegetable
will thrive unless the suns rays
reach it at least for a few hours in
the day.
Some plants need more sunshine
than others. In planning your garden
arrange 1t so that such plants as to-
matoes, melons Uf you have a large
garden), beans, corns, get the sunni
est position, even IL you have to
break rows to accommpIish this. Let
tuce, radishes early onions. peas,
early cabbage. spinach, satisfy, par
snips, will get along fairly well even
" they are shaded at some period of
the day.

carrots, parsnips, will run largely to
tops if given too much shade.
Having arranged your garden plant
ing to get the fullest benefit of the
sun for each plant. it will be we'll for
you 10 study your soil. The need for
this and how to correct soil deficien-
eies will be explained in the next
