Hoe as Freedoms WEAPON.

"We, the people of the United
States, in gardens assembled might
well be the beginning of a new pre-
amble Of American liberty, stating that
the people had decided to fight for
freedom with hoes, proclaiming to the
world the declaration that the welfare.
prosperity and happiness of this ma
ton are to be maintained; that the
freedom of other peoples is to be guar
anteed against oppression" writes
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the
national war garden commission, In
the Peoples Home Journal.
This preamble could state that It
had been decided by IAN American
people armed with hoes" that they
would help to raise enough food to win
the a Every man In the army
would be doing his duty in the trenches
of his W back yard or a nearby va
cant lot. The work In these tire lches
Is just as important as that In the
front battle lines Of Europe. 1t will

THE THING
Word Is True Definition of Patri-
OtiSm
Assertion Of Sergeant Davis, Speaker
In Ninth District Fourth Lib
erty Bond Campaign.

Sergeant Leslie W. Davis, who halls
from Kentucky, and is q veteran of the
Philippines and Cuba and of the
trenches In France and who is a
speaker on the war exhibit trains
touring the Ninth Federal District, is
} reticent man in private life but once
ne starts talking war he brings the
Liberty Loan money out Of hiding
places In a golden strecm.
Davis answered the call to the
Colors In August, 1917, and went to
France in December with Co. e, 81
Engineers and saw active service all
along the line, but gas and shell-shock
temporarily wound up his fighting ca
reer and he was shipped home to
.alk for Liberty Loans.
When he landed In Ninth District
headquarters. Minneapolis, he did not
act like a speaker for he simply gave
ais name and credentials and said he
a ready for service. An effort was
made to get him to talk but nobody
could get q rise out Of him. Finally
ae was asked point blank:
Davis. what do you say to a ran
who could afford to buy a Liberty
pond and d~oesn't?"
The fire leaped to his eyes, his hair
seemed to bristlc, he bounded out of
ais chair and launched into an extern
poraneous grafton which trilied every
one In district headquarters. When
Davis was through the tears were
running down his checks, he was shak-
ing like . leaf. and it was necessary
to lead him to q chair. No one re-
members all he said but they all
remember his last sentence:

OWE THEIR LIVES TO WOMAN
How Mrs. John Hays Hammond Won
Pardons From Grim Old "oom
Paul" Kruger.

John Hays Hammond, an American
citizen, was in prison, under sentence
of death. He had been tried and con-
victed Of high treason to the South
African Republic. One Of four leaders
Of the reform movement in the Trans
vaal, he was charged with completely
In the famous Jameson raid, found
guilty, and sentenced to die.
Only person lived In the Trans
vaal with sufficient power to set aside
the death sentence passed upon the
man who is known today as the great
est mining engineer In the United
States. This was Dom Paul Kruger,
then president Of the South African
Republic. He vas an old man-nar-
row, bigoted and possessed Of an In
tense hatred for the eager, grasping
strangers who he believed had sought
his country only to despoil 1t.
John Hays Hammond was among the
most enterprising and, consequently,
one of the most disliked, Of the foreign
residents of the Transvaal. For years
he had been employed as an engineer;
first by Barney Barnato, the English
mining operator, and later by Cecil
Rhodes, to locate diamonds In Dom
Paul's country. Dom Paul disliked
him. He disliked all men who brought
swarms Of eager reckless adventurers
into his country. And he made life as
difficult for them Is he could.
In 1895 the world was startled by the
news that a British adventurer, Doctor
Jameson, had led a raiding party Of
armed men into the Transvaal. The
raid failed. John Hays Hammond
was among those arrested on the ac-
cusation Of having instigated Jane
sons attack on the South African Re-
public. He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to die.
But the brave, cool-headed wife Of
the eminent American mining engineer
did not intend that anything disagree
able should happen to her husband.
Ever since their marriage, In 1880,
Mrs. John Hays Hammond had fol-
lowed the fortunes Of her young en-
gineer, no matter where they took him.
But when they threw him into jail
under a death sentence, she decided
that 1t was time for her to interfere.
She made up her mind to see Dom
Paul Kruger and tell him that she had
come to save him from the crime Of
putting an innocent man to death. 1t
wcs not easy to see President Kru-
ger, but Mrs. Hammond proved equal
to the task. 1t was not easy to con-
vince q man who harbored q deep, ST.
lent contempt for women, that q wom-
an was worth listening to; but Mrs.
Hammond was successful. Before she
left his Office, MI. Kruger had prom
ised to spare her husbands life. The
president of the Transvaal republic
kept his word to Natalie Hammond.
Her husbands sentence was cOmmut-
ed to Imprisonment for Is years and
later on, he was freed on payment of
a fine of $125, 600, and Mrs. Hammond
had the extreme happiness of knowing
that through her intercession, not only
her husbands life but the lives of the
men arrested with him had been saved.
