PUPILS To CARE
FOR 500 TRACTS
School Children Enthusiastic Over
Raising Vegetables to Help
Crop Production.

Anxious to help Uncle Sam to in
crease food production ana aid in
lettering the condition of the brave
boys fighting in the trenches for
democracy and liberty, Moline
school children are showing much
interest in the garden proposition.
Otto Gabel, member of the high
school faculty whoshas charge of
the garden work in The schools, has
visited every grade building in the
city giving talks 10 the sixth, sew
eulh and eighth grade classes and
says that 500 tracts are now being
prepared where vegetables are to
Ue raised.
He is anxious that in order to
obtain the best results the amateur
gardeners will heed the instruc
uons issued by the bureau of edu
cation of the department of inter-
iOr at Washington, the first lesson
being as follows:
All vegetable gardens should be
located where the plants will re
ceive the most sunlight and air
possible
The garden soil should be well
drained, rich and mellow as pos
sible. 1t should be plowed deeply
and narrowed, or spaded and raked
before the seeds are planted.
The best and purest seeds should
bt obtained Buy only from rel
liable sedsmen. Test all seeds when
possible
Apply manures OF fertilizers to
make the soil rich. Keep weeds out
OF your garden all through the sea-
son.
Use every square foot of garden
soil profitably. Plant succession
crops as fast as harvesting occurs.
Don't waste surplus produce
Can. dry or store
Keep exact records of all work
Il is important to utilize this oppor-
tunity to train children in business
methods.

Literary Digest Says There Is In
creased Study of German Lam
guage in East Moline.

. While Rock Island high school is
quoted as being against the con-
tinued study of the German Ian
guage, there is an increased de-
mand for it in the East Moline in
stitution. At least that is the state
ment which the current number OF
the Literary Digest contains.
At Joliet and Kewanee there is a
so per cent decrease, and at Alton
the study is being continued as
usual in an attempt to better I'M
derstand the German people, while
in Chicago there has been a grad
ual decline in the pupils taking
German. Although Moline is not
quoted, it was recently stated by
Principal E P Nutting that for the
first time since he has been con-
nected with the school no begin
ners' class was started this year,
while there are less than half the
usual number taking up the study.
The Digest, in order to learn just
what effect the war was having
public schools, interviewed school
officials in II communities in the
state, and in only two cases had
the language been dropped en-
tirely.
Referring to East Moline, the ar
ticle states: THE town of East
Moline reports an increased course
in German. This town is confess
eddy made up almost entirely of
foreign element The classes in
high school were larger in the Ger
man department than one year be-
fore and the reason assigned for
not dropping the study are three
fold.
First, it will be more extern
sively used after this war than ever,
when, in order to recover herself,
Germany will have to call on other
nations for help. Secondly, we are
not fighting the German literature
and should not lose sight of the
beauties of that language Thirdly,
a language formed for many years
is too big a thing to be dropped
lightly"
