{ 1I.l-. {

Seven girls and eighteen boys receiv-
Ell ratings, as a result of the first judg-
ing of more than $50 gardens over the
city, in the garden contest, placing
them among the first division of con-
testants. The second Judging will be
made July and the last August 15
which may result in changes in the
roster. The garden exhibit-a display
of both flowers and vegetables-taken
from the gardens of the contestants,
will be held August 25.
Keep Producing.
The gardens should be kept in their
prime all summer. This can be done
by planting a succession of vegetables,
which will insure late summer pro-
duce, carrying out the intent of the
club leader and giving the committee
of judges something to work on when
they make their last survey. Summer
and fall vegetables will be at their best
at the time of the garden exhibit.
Girls Do Well.
Nearly third of the high marks
went to girls, which indicates that they
are no mean gardeners, for the number
enlisted is much smaller than that of
the boys. The twenty-five boys and
girls receiving the highest marking,

YOUTH
 VERY PATRIOTIC

Last fall young man IS years old, Jim Summers, a well-known and popular local boy, attempted to get into the army service. He was re- jected because of a physical defect. The young man was so patriotic and so anxious to serve his country that he went to work for wages, saving every penny possible, went to a hos pital, had an operation performed with the money he saved, and as soon as well again applied for en- listment. This time he succeeded. Young Summers is a friend of the Sanger family to whom he repeatedly has stated that his conscience would not allow him to refuse further to insist on serving his country in need.

mo DOUBT OF
CONSPIRACY
For a Great Rising in ire
land, Says Lloyd George
at Edinburgh
STATED THAT HE HAD
SEEN THE EVIDENCE
Not Relevant That England
Had Treated Ireland
Badly in the Past

Edinburgh, May 24.-Speaking at a
luncheon yesterday, Mr.. Lloyd George
said there was no doubt that there had
been conspiracy for great rising in
Ireland. He stated that he had seen the
evidence. The leaders of the National
list party, he added, had nothing to do
with it. The premier said regarding the
action taken against the Sim Feiners
that no taunts would drive the govern
ment to give away the source Of its in
formation.
From the evidence in the hands of the
government it was clear that the mo-
ment when the Germans were attempt
ing their operations in France was deemed
the time for stimulating the rising.
There are two types of extremists"
said Lloyd George. "The extremist who
is trying for peace when there is no
peace is not real friend of peace but
an enemy of peace. He is an encourage
ment to the enemy and depresses his
friends Then there is the war extremist,
who regards every thought of making
peace as if it Were treason to state. But
the path of sanity and safety which a
government ought to tread is between
those two extremes"
The premier said it was not relevant
to assert that England had treated Ire
land badly in the dim past. This was
not England's war. II was struggle
Of Belgium, Serbia and other small ma
tionalities, and of Italy and the Russian
empire. Il am sorry to-day" he con-
.inued, that Ireland has not merely |
iulked, but that many Irishmen seem to
nave been selected by the military autoc- /
'aey which oppressed small nations"
