FOR THESE WINTER EVENINGS


81 wonder what the O'Tools are so
busy about these evenings remarked
Mrs. Jones to her husband. 'T often
see them gathered about that table at
night and even the children seem alb
sorbed with whatever they are do
ing"
Her husband followed her gaze to
the little brown house close by where
a man, his wife, and three children
were gathered about a CHEEKY, lamp
lighted table seemingly absorbed with
some books and paper and pencil.
And, indeed, they were absorbed
from father down to ten-year old
Fred, for they were planning the lit
tie war-garden they were going 10
plant next spring in the tiny strip of
land in their backyard.
1t is lots of fun for anyone to plan
such a war-garden, and the time to
plan the one you will be wanting to
plant next spring is during these long
winter evenings.
The best way to do 1t is to draw
map out on paper to scale. indicating
the spaces to be devoted to early plant
ed crops and those of later. Mark i'll

NO TERROR BEHIND SCENES
McAdoo Says America Does Not
Fear Reconstruction.


Atlanta, Nov. 25.-The recon
struction period should have no ter
rors for Americans, in the opinion OF
William G. McAdoo, secretary of the
treasury and director general of the
railroads. Speaking at a luncheon
given in his honor here tonight by the
Atlanta Clearing House Association,
Mr.. McAdoo, VINO is on an inspection
toru of Southern railroads and port
facilities, said he had no doubts as to
the future of America. He was not
frightened, he said, by talk of Boil
shevism becoming rampant in this
country. He urged that all war
agencies be continued for the pres
ent at least and that financial inter-
ests hold themselves in readiness to
assist in the reconstruction of financ-
ing that must be done Immediately.
Referring to the apparent spread of
Bolshevism, the secretary said that
no man could think straight if fright
ened or angry. There is no reason
for either feeling in the minds of
Americans, he said. eff we keep our
heads and labor with the same spirit
that has animated us in the war
against autocracy," he declared, 'the
reconstruction period need have no
terrors for u.s."
Mr.. McAdoo, who arrived here late
Monday was in conference through
out the day with regional director
of railroads, B. L. Winchell,' and fed
eral railroad managers representing
practically every line in the South
and Southeast. The result of the
discussions made it evident that
Southern railroads are we'll: prepared
to meet the increased traffic that is
expected during the winter, it was
stated. An ample supply of coal is
now obtainable and the roads will be
able to take care of all demands for
transportation, both passenger and
freight.
Mr.. McAdoo sent a telegram Mon
day to all regional railroad directors
directing that all work not absolute
ly necessary be suspended on Thanks
giving Day.
"In view of the unusual signifi-
canoe of Thanksgiving Day this year,
191S," the telegram read, "and Of
the extraordinary reasons why the
American people should give thanks
to Almighty God for the unusual
blessings we have received, please di-
rect that all work not absolutely
necessary on government controlled
railroads be suspended on Thanks
giving Day."
"Well, I am glad somebody appre-
ciates my financial straits" was the
only comment Secretary McAdoo
would make on being told that rail-
road employees on roads running out
Of st. Louis had offered to add ST.
900 month to his salary as director
general of railways if he would not
resign. That the director general
could not accept such an offer, how
ever, was made certain by his state
ment few minutes later that he in
