MINGO JUNCTION, Ohio, April 16-.-
The employees of steel company here
are out to surpass the record they
made last year in war gardening, ac-
cOrding to the report on the work
which G. E. Wisener, general superin-
tendent of the company, has just sent
to the National War Garden Commits
sion, Washington.
When it came to award some of
the prizes the judges found it impos-
sib1e to decide between some of the
Lest vegetable plots, so excellent were
many of them; and so they were COM
PEELED to place a number of them on
en- actual basis of war value, variety
of product, workmanship, quality AMI
general appearance. The general av-
erage of all the gardens was over so
Per cent and only one was marked a
failure. The first prize garden had a
rating of 95; the second 80.
When it came to the third prize the
judges found three gardens which
were so good that, although they
went over and inspected them care
fully three times, they gave all three
an equal award, with a rating of So
per cent. 1
THE gardens were not only an as
sistance to livelihood" said Mr.. Wise
ner, and a decided profit to the av..
erage worker" said Mr.. Wisener, but
were also an inspiration and fascina-
ton, as we'll as means of pleasure
and hea1ty exercise and education.
The plots were taken by men in all
classes of employment, laborers,
skilled workers, clerks and execu-
tives.'

what for? To hold and enjoy simply

course, and with few exception you
know how we have failed to admins
ter the trust. Aye, we must get down
before God and first of all ask His for
giveness and pledge to do our part
before we can get His ear. Next,
what can be more accordinging to
His will than the defeat and evange-

JUDD TODD'S HOME PAPER
PAYS RESPECTS TO COL.

The State Journal of Frankfort.
KY, has the following to say of the
late Col. Todd:
The body of Judge William john
ston Todd, who died at his home in
Orofino, Idaho, on Monday, has been
shipped from that place and is ex-
pected to arrive here tomorrow.
Judge Todd was the second son of
the late James M. Todd, for many
years a prominent business man of
this city, the firm OF Gray & Todd
doing a leading business here for
years. Judge Todd's paternal grand
father was Judge Thomas Todd. who
took a prominent part in the organ
ization of the Commonwealth of
kentucky, was Chief Justice of the
Court of Appeals and at the time of
Court of the United States. His ma
ternal grandfather was Col. Alexan-
der H. Renick, a soldier OF the War
of 1912, and for nearly half a CEN
tury County Clerk of this county.
Johnston Todd, as he was known
to every resident Of Frankfort, forty
years ago, was born and grew to
manhood in the family home on
Wrapping street, now the residence
of Mr. John S. Cannon. There he
saw the blighting hand of death
laid upon three beautiful sisters just
as they were budding into young
womanhood, and since he went west
two brothers have followed. But
one sister, Mrs. R. A. Peter, of Lou
isyille, remains and it is she who is
having him brought back to SLEEP
beside the loved ones gone before.
AS little fellow Johnston Todd
| was a town pet. He went every
where and was invariably accom-
panied by his shadow. John, little
colored boy Of his own age. and q
history of their adventures would
be an amusing as well as interesting
narrative. About 1881 he conclud
ed to cast his lot in the west and
had visited his old home only once
or twice since then. Locating il
Idaho he invested in mining stocks

| was elected judge of his county
During the later years of his resi-
dence here he was an enthusiastic

last visit was elected Commander 0

of a portion of the Orofino highway

the neighborhood of $1.500,000 of
taxable value from the Orofino dis
trict, leaving the Orofino district a
measly $1,750,000 of taxable prop
srty, and with most of the expensive

the taxes from the Orofino, and the
other districts will go to what is

have a picture of the Orofino high
way getting along swimmingly!
It's a peach of a situation! And
let us remind the people that Attor-
ney Tannahill, just before his death,
advised the Orofino highway board
that the only way out of this situa-
tion was to disorganize and get back
into the county. Did they do it!
Not on your life! Did the Oro-
fino gang every give up anything
or do anything for the Sood OF the
taxpayers? And the Republican has
Kept still because we did not want
to antagonize this outfit and thus
get them to working for spite. We
have given them ample time, and 1t
is plain to see what they propose to
do. Taking advantage of bad sit
uation the Blake machine, through
Gov. Alexander, got control of the
