WORD HAS VARIED MEANING
Term Garden" as Used Today, capa-
bic Of Some of the Most Elastic
Definitions.

We speak so freely and often of
garden" assuming that there is some
well-defined common use of that word
even among the authorities ON garden
ing subjects. But the fact is that il
has reached mighty elastic limits in
their writings and speech and. can be
taken TO mean anything from the enor-
NOUS private parks and estates to the
tin can glories OF a back yard.
The word garden is from the old
Anglo-Saxon root, @gyrden." meaning
an Enclosure. At that time. due to the
uncertain character OF community life,
it was either inclosed within fortifica-
lions or left unprotected and exposed
without. This private inclosed land
was the garden of that time. That is
the meaning of garden in the Song of
Solomon.
Gradually the sense of the word has
changed to cover those parts Of the
land devoted to the cultivation OF
plants either for pleasure or for use I;
thus, we have the vegetable or fruit
garden, and on the other hand, the
wall, water or rose garden, etc.
Liberty Hyde Bailey defines IA gar
den as "the personal part of an estate,
that area which is most intimately as
ISOLATED with the private life of the
home"
Whatever the sense in which 1t is
used, the word garden" always sue
ceeds in carrying with II an atmos-
phere of romance and beauty, which
countless ages of use cannot dim.--

EX-coNGREsSMAN LENTZ
MAKES RUMMIES OFFER
Will Give Ohio Vets 1000 Dollars to
Publish Pershing's Recommendation
That Ohio Vote Wet if They Can
Get 1t

Ex-Congressman John ]. Lent OF
Columbus, Ohio, just back from
France. has attacked the Ohio Home
Rule Association for its alleged wet
advertisement in which occurs the
statement, In France today there is
no restraint on the liberty OF mil
lion and hall soldiers to decide Tor
themselves whether they want TO
drink beer and wine" Congressman
Lent said:
have in my possession Cen
eral Pershing's order over his
own signature and that order for
bids the use OF any Intoxicating
beverages. 1t does permit the
French beer and wine. neither OF
which is Intoxicating. The French
beer is as devoid of alcohol as arc
our so-called near beers in this
country and the wine is so devoid
OF alcohol as to be cheaper than
ordinary carbonated water Gem
eral fershlnS order is so per-
fectly obeyed that neither l nor
any ono Of Our commission in our
three months on the war front
ever saw an American soldier un-
der the influence OF liquor.
The former Congressman is so sure
of his ground that he has challenged
the Ohio Home Rule Association to
ask General Pershing by cable wheth-
er he recommends that Ohio vote wet
until the soldiers return. He offered
to deposit $1,000 to be used by the
vets in giving publicity to General
Pershing's answer il favorable to

COLUMBUS MODIFIES
BOTTLE ORDINANCE

The Columbus (Ohio) city council
last week passed new bootlegging
ordinance to take the place of the
drastic measure passed last month,
which meets the demands of the gov
eminent in safeguarding against the
furnishing of liquor to soldiers, ac-
cording to Captain J. w. Adams, and
still does not prevent civilians from
having beverages delivered to them
in their homes.
The new ordinance permits beer to
be purchased in saloons and carried
off the premises in an open top,
transparent, glass pitcher, capable OF
holding not less than two quarts.
permits residence deliveries by whole
sale and retail dealers provided rec
ord of sales is kept open to insrer-
ton to military and naval officers,
and does not prohibit shipments out
side the city,
Mayor Karb signed the ordinance
following its passage 1t is under
stood that petition requesting ref
erendum on the original ordinance
will not be pushed further, although
supporters of the original ordinance
deny that the modified measure was
passed as a concession to prevent the
referendum.

4 BARKEEpER DILEMMA

A prominent citizen of Newark,
New Jersey, on a recent Sunday was
pacing along North Broad Street,
when the door OF a saloon near the
Lackawanna viaduct was thrown vio-
lcntly open and a drunk was hurled
cut on to the sidewalk by the saloon
"bouncer" Staggering to his feet,
the man with the jag looked around
for a weapon and. picking up stone
hurled it through the plate glass win
dows of the saloon and fell again with
the impulse of the throw. A very
angry bar keeper rushed from the sa-
loon door, gripped the sample of sa-
loon workmanship and hustled him to
a police call box, and sent i'll hurry
call for the Police van.
A sober second thought then star
tied the bar keeper, when he remem-
bered that this was Sunday, and the
saloon was open in violation of the
law, whereupon he leaned the victim
up against a post, and hurried back to
the saloon. The drunk" was wobbly
in the legs but had sufficient wits re-
naming to lead him into hiding and
when the police van with its changing
gong arrived, all they found was the
lamp post.

GERMANS RAGE
Geo. McGinnis

A recent press dispatch contains the
following:
Few happenings of late have so
enraged the Pan-Germans as has
the demand of the Poles, includ-
ing those of Posen and west Prus-
STA, for complete independence
There is also a whine from the lead
ing paper of Germany expressed as
follows:
Germania is deeply panied that
the Prussian Poles have not
shown more dignity, and that at
the darkest hour they put for
ward demand which clearly
shows their hearts are cold to-
ward harassed Germany.
The rage of the European Huns is
only equaled by the Hun brewers of
America as they. see the 100000
drink slaves Of the republic breaking
away from liquor autocracy.

According to the Kansas City Star,
Missouri politicians have begun to
consider the dry vote in Jackson
county, the county in which Kansas
City is located. as one OF the big fac
tors thus far overlooked in forecast
ing the results in the county election
November ).
Preparations are about complete for
last-fninute drive to get the drys to
the polls 10 vote on the constitutional
amendment to give Missouri Prohi-
bition. Hundreds OF citizens who have
been apathetic concerning the OUT
come of the general election arc cx-
pee.ed to be drawn to the polls
solely because Of their interest in the
prohibitory amendment. Politicians
are now predicting much larger
vote in November in the river wards
than the supplemental registration
last week would indicate.
The fact that Prohibition has been
made a question OF war efficiency III
dorsed by the National Food Admins
istration and made a part OF the ma
tons war program, is expected to
give it standing it has not had in
previous elections. 1t is recognized
no longer to be a local OF party issue
pushed in the interest OF morality
alone but rather a patriotic and eco
nomic issue.
The chief concern OF the Prehibi-
ton leaders now is to poll their vote.
They feel many drys are being lulled
to sleep with the statement that has
been widely circulated to the effect
that Prohibition is sure to come
through the national government.
They are urging the voters to remem-
Der that the only way to cinch Prohi-
bition for Missouri is to vote for the
state amendment. ,. ,sx
With this in view The local dry Or
CARNATIONS enlisted in the campaign
planned to adopt the politicians
method OF getting the vote to the
polls. The Sunday before the election
sample ballots will be distributed.
Pledge cards arc to be given out, the
signers agreeing to vote at the No
vember election. .ta
The Citizens Dry Alliance is or
organizing the city by precincts, a
captain in charge of each. Much of
the work is being done by the women.
Working through the churches the
city has been divided among the FIVE
Sunday school districts for prcpa-
ganda work. Plans are being made
for a parade of Sunday schools and
dry workers the Saturday before cleo
ton.
One thing that makes the dry vote
of Jackson county look formidable is
the fact that when Prohibition was
voted on in Missouri in 1916, the
county gave a dry majority OF 3,946.
When the .aemndment was voted on
in 1910 the county piled up wet ma
jority of q ,497. This shows the
change of sentiment that has got to
be reckoned with The drys lost in
the state at the last election, but by
decreased majority of 10000 votes.
