HOME GARDENS ARE GETTING STARTED
94 Plots Have Been Assgned-New Land Pledged Supplies Supervisor With Enough Plots to Fill All Applications Date-Patnotic Gardeners Are Hard at Work Planting In Many Places About the City.

Ninety-four plots for home gardens in the city have already been assign ed under the direction of Charles A. Hagberg, home garden supervisor who reports that the warm weather of the past few days has stimulated a general planting fever among these tillers of the soil as demonstration of their patriotic purpose to do all they can in this wartime emergency. On prac- tically all of the plots seed of various kinds is being planted at the present time.
 Supervisor Hagbergs publicity de- partment issued the following general rallying call on Tuesday for every cit izen who can to take up a home gar den plot:
 Be a Patriot.
 As a result of wartime emergency. the home garden of America has be- come an institution of world wide irn- portance. From Europe comes the never ending cry, Send food, more devoting their lives to the terrible business of war in order to bring. a real and lasting peace to the world, the work of feeding hundreds of mill lions is thrown on the shoulders of the women, the children and the aged men The more food produced. the greater will be the amount released to be shipped to our soldiers and allies. They cannot raise enough. We must help them. You can help, and you must help. Apply at once at the Chambe, of Commerce office for a home garden plant something and work it to ca pacity. Use your spare time to ad- vantage. A nation worth fighting for is a nation worth working for. The production and conservation of food is military necessity of the first inn portance. We shall make a fatal mis- take if We neglect our agriculture. Deep trenches in Trance protect oul troops from shells-shallow ones 1T American fields must protect then from hunger. He also serves who does what he can to help his country grow food for it's armies, it's allies and i itself.

Concrete Has Many Uses.

Concrete, because of its great re- sistence to fire and to the shock of explosions, is adaptable to a wide vari- ety of uses, according to the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. It is cheap, easily and quickly handled, sanitary, and durable, and it's characteristics render it of great military importance. Among the military uses to which concrete is put are the construction of armories. bar racks, roads, bridges, coast and inter- for Notifications, gun emplacements, trench Things, bombproof shelters, magazines for explosives, tunnels, re- taining walls, sea walls, wharves, dry docks, water reservoirs, aqueducts, sewers, sewag treatment works, in- cinerators, stables, floors, roofs, muni- tion factory buildings, warehouses, l-oil tanks, barges, and even in the interior of battleships.

sALEsBERRY DISAPPEARS
 LEAVING NO TRACE
Officers Searched Tuesday For Mur- derer of Constable Kinney of Pres ton.

 Arthur Salesberry, the slayer of Constable kinney, of Preston. is still at large and up to late hour Tues day evening the county officials had found no clue to his whereabouts they said The officers and a posse search ed the country about the Salsbecry home in Preston all Monday night and all Tuesday but nothing could be learned.
 There have been many rumors in circulation, one of which is that short ly after Salsberry shot Kinney ar- other shot was heard in the swamp in back of the SaIsberry house. It was thought that Salsberry might have committed suicide but no trace of his having done that was found. Another report was in circulation that man answering Salsberry's descrip- tion had been seen boarding Vest erly trolley but this could not be yer flied.
 out of the question:, ywo. .g.-gTf
 The suicide theory is practically out of the question as the officers found the Winchester rifle which Sals- | berry used to shoot Kinney and Chap man, in an upstairs room of the house. | The magazine of the gun was full with | the exception of four cartridges. The four shells could not be found any, where about the property. A revolver and shot gun were also found and it is not thought that Salesberry cat ried any weapon away with him.
 On Tuesday Mrs. Salsberry chang ed her story and told State Policeman Rudd that she had seen her husband shoot at Kinney and had seen hirn fall. She said she did not see him shoot at Chapman. She claims that Kinney was shot first and was hit by the bullets as he was trying to climb over wire fence in front of the house. She says she does no! know in which direction her husband | went.
 The oldest boy in the family clalnig that he and the other children Nera out in the back yard playing wler the shooting occurred and say that they did not see their father after the shots were fired. These childrer have been in the habit of running away at times and about five months ago the local police took them in one night and housed them at the police headquarters.
 An autopsy was performed on the body of Kinney Tuesday morning ant it was found that one of the bullets which were copper iacketed and o- soft lead. had pearced the heart.
 At midnight on Tuesday, MT. Chap mans condition was reported more ia vorable and he was resting comfort | ably,

NOTICE

Commencing June 1, 1918, the price of gas furnished by this department will be as follows:
 Up to 3O,OOO GU. ft. per month s1.5O per 1000 GU. it.
 3OOOO to 10000 GU. it. per month s1.8O per 1,OO5 GU. ft for entiAe amount used.
 All over 15O.OOO cu ft per month S115 per 1000 GU. ft for entire amount used.
 No bills will be rendered. however, at a less amount than that which is calculated for the maximum amount at the rate of the preceding block
 In making this increase, your Com missioners have given the matter careful consideration and find that. because of the excessive increase of the cost of labor and all material entering into the manufa acturing of gas, it is impossible to sell the prod uct at the present price.
 It is hoped that this increase will be but temporary, for, as soon as conditions warrant. the price will be reduced.
