With the American Army in France,
March 6.-Shells have been falling
thick and fast within the American
lines and upon the enemy's positions
in the Toul sector.
Aside from a big barrage which the
enemy placed on the American posi-
ton at daylight In this neighbOrhood,
1000 proiectiles have been dropped in
the vicinity of the terrain occupied by
the Americans, many of them upon
towns. The American casualties,
however, have been extremely light.
The Americans continue to shell the
enemy and put down two barrages on
his positions. The infantry activity
was confined solely to patrol parties.
American Died Fighting.
The Americans searched No Mans
Land in the snow for the bodies of
enemy killed in the raiding. None
was found, but the body of one Amer
lean was discovered on the American
wire in front of listening post.
The man had on his gas mask. A
bullet had passed through his head.
Only two cartridges remained in his
rifle, which was found under his body,
and there were other indications that
he had died fighting.

The speaker is a practical gardener

This year he will dispense with his
help and raise staple food products.
Nearly every garden truck producer
will do the same. The decision was
arrived at upon appeal by the govern
ment to farmers to produce more sta
pie crops. This in measure will react
upon the city people who have depend
ed on the large truck producers fol
their vegetable supply. They will have
to depend on their own efforts ant

what and what not to plant, the bes

as ground breaker and will be taker

day, for he built the banquet hall on
the north the library on the south, the
third story, the verandas, colonnades,
piazza and tower, the great barn and

sides laying out and planting the gar
dens.

to "the charming widow" Martha Dan

life really began.

With Mrs. Washington came the two
children of her former marriage, Mar
tina and John Parker CuStis.
"These four were the nucleus of q
busy and extensive life on the estate.
The gradual accumulation of shOemak-
ers, tailors, smiths, carpenters, wheel
wrights, masons, charcoal burners,
farmers, millers, hostlers, house and
outside servants, and overseers, all
with their families, constituted an
army of several hundred. Everything
and everybody that had no relation to
the big house, as the masters dwell
ing on a Virginia estate has always
been called, fell under the direct jul
