NO FAMINE IN AMERICA.

A trip by rail through Southern New England will convince any one who makes it, provided he has his eyesight, that there will never be any famine conditions in the United States, even if all our coasts, in some future struggle with the Teuton, should be blockaded. Never was so large an area planted to gardens as now, and never, generally speaking, did gardens look better - although along the Sound in Connecticut they are parched for want of rains, and where the potatoes were not sprayed for the blight the tops have died en- tirely away.
 Much more land is in gardens this year than last, and the amateur war gardeners have so prof1ted by last years experience that the gardens are in much better condition. But one thought strikes the observer in pass ing over all this luxury of green things growing, and that is that less than half the space is cultivated that might be.
 The production has not yet been fully organized. It will yet be 1s- ganized, TOT the pleasure and satisfac- tion that the amateur gardeners are enjoying will make thousands of oth-- CTS want to do the same thing. There is unusued land enough so that every body who wanted garden may and should have one. whether he possesses or holds any land or not. Give every man and woman a garden and it's "a truce to Hoover and his war-bread- a truce to the beef trust and it's prof itered meat!-'Nomad in Boston Transcript.

MUST GIVE UP WAR GOODS

Washington, Aug. S.---Industries having supplies of coal, steel and other essential war materials on hand above actual requirements before curtail- ment orders went into effect, may have part of their stocks commandeered by the government.
 A number of the War Industries Board said manufacturers must ex- pect to make sacrifices commensurate with those being made by American minitary forces abroad and by the civilian population at home and bus iness must be prepared for further curtailments.

What Is 1907

John A. Martin cfaims that he Is
IN American of the 100 per cent
type. He may be and we hope that
he is but we don't use the same
III measuring gauge which Mr.. Martin
uses. Martin wanted the Republi-
cans of the Third congressional dis
trict to endorse him. Some of the
leaders in the Republican party were
very much taken with the idea and
80 asked Martin this question in sub
stance: "If we endorse you for the
nomination on the Democratic ticket
and you are defeated by keating in
the primary, will you then come out
aud make the race as an independent
cardidate?" The reply in substance
was that he could not do 1t. for he
was Democrat and would not leave
the party.
Martin is charging Keating with
all kinds of unloyal and unpatriotic
acts. yet the 100 per cent patriot
Martin claims to be would not keep
him from turning in and supporting
Heating. the so-called pacifist. should
Heating win In the primary. Martin
has said enough already about Keat-
ing to make it impossible for 100
per cent American to do other than
support Hardy on the Republican
ticket. There is no half way ground.
II Keating is pacifist and beats
Martin in the primary what does
Martin become If he then lines up for
Heating?

Ballreich Support

Chas. Ballreich, OF Pueblo: will in
all probability be the nominee on the
Republican ticket at ne primary cleo
tion. We may think this because of
our desire to see Nj. iIallreich nomi-
mated. however, 1t looks very much
like he would carry off the victory
because his support is coming from
all parts of the state. We have noted
that the newspapers from every sec
tion of the state are giving Ballreich
the lead over his opponent. Mr.
Shoup.
There are none who are support
ing Ballreich but who concede that
Mr.. Shoup is an excellent man and
would make an excellent governor.
but they are supporting Ballreich
because he will also make a good
governor and waa t., E assembly nom
inee and should have been allowed
to make the race without an eleventh
hour fight being put up 1t Is not
SO much the desire of many of those
who are supporting Shoup that he be
nominated as 1t is that Ballreich be
beaten. The rank and file of the
voters do not look at 1t that way
They are going down the line for
BAllreich. and then II Shoup wins
they will support him. This cannot
be said of certain Denver politicians.

And Why the IF

Under date of July 2. 1918, Scott
Ferris. Oklahoma congressman, chair
man of the Democratic Congressional
Committee. has put out letter on
the letterhead of the House Com
mittee on Public Lands. boasting of
the record of the administration
during fourteen months OF war"
Wilson's last address to Congress,
which he begins with the statement:
''If we are to wage war at all. we
should wage 1t vigorously
In other words, the chairman of
the Democratic National Congression-
al Committee himself raises ques-
tion of doubt as to whether we should
be waging war. "If we are to wage
war at all" certainly involves ques-
ton as to whether we should be
waging war.
The question of whether or not we
are to wage war is of the past We
are at war. 1t is no time for the
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee to be issuing an
implied apology for state of war.
We are at war. There are no 'ifs"
about it. and no ifs" should be talk
ed about by the man who is in charge
of the Democratic campaign for con-
troll of the next Congress.
We are at war. The next Congress
should not be under the control of
men who are disposed to apologize
for that state of affairs, after they
have as congressman voted for war
and ask for reelection on the ground
that we are in war. This is no time
for apologies. or for concession to
pacifist or disloyal sentiment. We
are at war. And she Democratic
National Congressional Committee is
headed by a man WHO starts ca-,-
naign letter with the phrase: "If
we are to wage war at all"

Federated church? Are you IA

be good reasons WHY we should he
come familiar with it. This Federal
ed church is not denomination.
but really carries the plural. for it
is federation of all the denomina-

NEW HAVEN BOUTS
 WILL DRAW CROWD
Importance Of Dundee-JaCkSO1 15
 ,r1 Round Battle Readily Grasped

New Haven, March 22.-Officials of the Riverside Athletic club predict that q record number of out-of-townt boxing fans will invade New Haven on Monday for the l5-round battle at the Arena between Johnny Dundee and Willie Jackson. No bout ever billed for this city has created morei talk outside the boundaries of New Haven county. and this Is one of the' various reasons advanced for thei promoters willingness to gamble that the crowd will set a new high wateri mark for the city.
 New Haven fans, as is to be Gx-t pected, will be on hand in goodAyi numbers. Everyone realizes the im-i portance of the event and is looking1 forward to it with unlimited interest It's q cjnch that every boxing bug, no matter how hard he may be pressed, financially, will borrow. beg and per- haps steal to get in line for the most attractive bout ever offered in thtsI city. Boxing lovers are well aware of the fact that Dundee and Jackson arel really in the class with the incompar-t able Benny Leonard. And the last ap-i pearance of Benny in this city is stylIt fresh in the minds Of local ring -siders.l So the fans are in a position to look for something real good when twoi evenly matched stars get together. <
 The local classic is expected to4 draw heavily from New York. Dun-l dee and Jackson have thousands of admirers in their home town andt hundreds of them will come here tot root for their respective faVoFtes. | Philadelphia, Boston. Springfield.E Hartford, Bridgeport and New Britain4 will also be well represented at the ringside. |
 Matchmaker Reina predicted lastl night that the bout will attract more people than any sporting event Seen in this city since the YaIe-Harvard football game two years ago. He stated that the advance sale has aI- ready hit the s3,000 mark.
 Dundee is expected to arrive in New Haven either late tonight or to- morrow morning. Jackson has ndei1ed the club officials that he will make a determined effort to be here before
 Sunday and work out in public.
 Tn addition to the star bout the i fans are showing much interest in the 1 other bouts on the program. ChaNey- | Pitts, of Bridgeport, will clash with 1 Paul Doyle, of New York; Joe Dill 1 lon, of Stamford. will oppose Frank ] Brindisi, of this city, and Flying Ma
 her will take on Johnny Lisse. for-l 1ner 125-pound amateur champion, ofa l New York. Lisse recently made fl

TANKS REGULARS WIN.
By Briggs

Macon, Ga, March 22.--Hard hit ting, fair fielding, base running that was smart as well as the reverse, and pitching which varied from good to indifferent were the leading develop ments this afternoon of the first prac- tice game between Yankee players under the Huggins regime. The regulars beat the second team, mostly youngsters, g to ', and both sides peppered the ball.
