Immense Crowd Expected

Immense Crowd Expected
Only twelve NOSE days and the big
two-day Caledonian Celebration will
be on in full swing, and believe. us, it's
going to be celebration worth while.

and their piping and dancing will more
than satisfy those who attend.
The singing by Miss Jessie Scott,
Canadas own contralto, will be another
pleasing feature at both the Park and
the Scotch concert, which will be held
in the Auditorium Tuesday evening.
Miss Scott was with us last year, and
her rendition of the old Scottish songs
will never be forgotten by those who
heard her. Miss Grace Weiss, of De-
troit another fine singer, has been en-
gagged for the celebration. Her songs
will consist of the very latest In the
patriotic line.
There will be patriotic speeches by
men who have national regulations
as speakers and workers in the big
twin the war" movement.
A ball game is slated for each af-
ternoon, the first one being played by
teams from Yale and Peck. On the
afternoon of the second day business
men from Brown City will oppose a
like team from Yale. E.ch player
will pitch an innings and you can look
for a whole lot of fun.
The athletic sports will be scattered
throughout the program and there will
be some good hot contests.
The Scotch concert on Tuesday eve.
ming, Aug. 9Th. will be something that
is really worth while. There will be
piping, dancing and singing galore, and

Hiah Cost Of Patches.

There is no economy in patches. You
may have n frugal wife who persists
in patching your trousers, but you al
ways feel miserable and degraded in
such garments. They make you feel
like thief, or like 80 cents in counter
felt money. You are forever trying to
hide them from view. have
worn them myself and know how un-
easy man feels In good society when
he expects each gust of wind to fan
his coat tails aside exposing his wife's
needlework, Zim writes In Cartoons. A
patch in the seat of your trousers. If
it be accidentally exposed In public,
will reduce your market value 99h
per cent. If you cannot afford so sud-
den and enormous decline in your
stocks, and are not prepared to coyer
margins, you'd better accept a FOOLS
advice and unload your holey belong
ings upon the ragman before your wife
gets out her darning needle and patch
bag.

'The obligation of every man, woman
and child out of uniform to help feed
himself will be greater In 1918 than in
1917. Therefore the home gardening
and canning activities of last year must
be repeated"
This Is the message of the United
States Department OF Agriculture to
every family. Those who cannot pro-
duce, can conserve and save food.
There must be no backsliding among
experienced gardeners; they must re-
peat their contribution of food. Alb
sence OF novelty must not deter those
who tried gardening for the first time
In 1917 from capitalizing their increas-
ed knowledge and skill. Those with
experience must make every seed count
to get satisfactory returns from their
work with hoe, rake and watering can.
There must be no Stacking off. Gar
dening Is everybody's business, but in
1918 everyone must attend to that busi-
ness.
And now word of caution. Don't
try to raise more than you can use
And water systematically all spring
and summer. A few square yards
well titled will yield more than half
acre allowed to run to weeds.
The department advises strongly
against effort by amateur gardeners to
produce truck crops for sale. Such en-
terprises commonly prove unwise, bur-
densome to all concerned, and not In
frequently financially Improbable.
Much precious seed and fertilizer
to say nothing of time and labor-were
wasted last year In such undertakings.
The governments home gardening spe-
cialists believe that best results will be
attained II each family attempts to
raise only enough vegetables to supply
Its own table and to afford the surplus

Sow parsnip seed in drills from Is
inches to 3 feet apart depending on
the method of cultivation, about the
time of the last killing frost in spring.
The seed should be sown rather thick
ly and later thinned until the plants
are about 3 inches apart in the rows.
The parsnip requires very rich soil for
its best development. The roots are
usually left in the ground during the
winter and dug as needed, but may be
harvested In the autumn, packed in
moist sand and stored in pits or root
cellars. Most people consider this
root improved by freezing, so as rule

cities of from 100000 to 100000 popu-
lation; the third group contained coun-
ties having cities of from 25.00O to 50,-
900; In the seventh group there were
1850 counties which had no village so
large as 2,5OO.
The survey work in cities was done
by the bureau of chemistry through its
food and drug inspectors and state and
local health officials and inspectors.
These representatives went from store
to store and left with proprietor or
manager schedules of all possible sta
pies, with the request that they be
filled out in 4S hours. In many parts
Of the larger cities, especially In the
poorer districts, the police had to ex-
plain to the grocers that the law re-
quired them to fill out the schedule
ty for failure to do so.
The survey covered the stocks on
farms and In the 22,0OO, 600 households
of the United States. The bureau of

stocks. The total number of returns
exceeded 100000.
Household Inventory Made.
To catch In the net for food infor-
nation the 22,OOO,OOO households in
the United States was n stupendous
task. As it was impossible to ap-
proach each one of these households,
$4,000 families, representative of the
entire population as to place of resi-
dence, family income and occupation
were studied In detail and estimates
derived from these figures covered

The aim of the household survey
was to get a fairly accurate idea Of

sent in from cold storage concerns and
making complete returns as to the

Secondarily the schedule found out
how much of certain staple commodi-
ties were being used, and checked up
by means of Inquiries on the compare
tive amounts of certain foods con-

Every family must help feed
itself.
Fresh vegetables must be
used to lessen home consumption
Of staple foods needed by
troops and the allies.
More food must be canned in
homes than ever before.
There must be a war garden
in every back yard fertile and
sunny enough to grow vege-
tables.
Every seed planted must be
made to count in the food supply.

Dietary Investigation Aids.
Dietary Investigations were made by
Doctor Langworthy of the division Of
home economics which dovetnil with
the more sweeping household inven-
tory of the federal food survey. Doc
tor Langworthy conducted an intensive
research into the quantities and kinds
of foods used in number of selected
families. These figures will bring up
to date dietary investigations made in
the same division under Doctor At
waters regime, and which up to the
present time have been the only statls-
ties available ms basis for dietary
calculations, even for those of the
Royal British commission.

will. it is believed, be of great value
For instance, it will enable us to plan
our crop production for the ensuing

the immediate needs of his family and

therefore should devote attention to
fall crops of root vegetables such as

and parsnips, which can be stored ens-
lily for later use. 1t also would be well
to give attention to the production OF
mature lima or other beans which can
