How Home Gardens Help.

Food production and Its shipment to
the allies are intimately connected. DR..
Knapp said. and for this reason every
home garden throughout the United
States will allow more food to be
grown for the allies and more cars in
which to haul 1t to the seaboard.
THE minimum Of shipping will come
this summer" declared DR.. Knapp. by
June or July the lowest point In the
shipping Of the world will have been
reached.
Unless we feed England. France and
Italy, the people jof those countries
will lose heart. II they lose heart. it
will mean disaster over there. and
disaster over there will mean war on
this side Of the Atlantic.
Each family that has a back yard
can contribute to the winning of the
war by raising food in that back yard.
DR.. Knapp pointed out to the citizens.
He finished his talk with practical gar
den hints, such as Don't plant too
much lettuce and too many radishes,"
and Folks who expect to take vaca-
tion should not start a garden

Records Broken.
The fine old railroading spirit has
come back to the Monongah division
in great shape. and new records hung
up at the office OF Superintendent H..
w. Wilson at Grafton do not last very
long. Sunday new records were made
when 1852 loads. 1.24S OF which were
coal. were handled east from Grafton.
On that day 1000 cars were handled
east and west through the Grafton
Yards. which Is the best record ever
made there.
Better Car Record.
The slump in the coal car supply
which characterized the first two days
this week came TO an end today when
1895 open tops were reported in the
region. At some OF the mines the
cars were placed little late. but the
pessimism which was beginning to be-
come epidemic again was effectually
dispelled.
At the office Of Dan n. Lawson. dis.
trict representative Of the Fuel ad-
mInistration, II was hoped this morn
ing that on the day enough coal could
be consigned to Curtis bay TO make up
