war GARDENS IN 1918

Within q few months a great spring
drive will be launched throughout the
length and breadth Of North Dakota.
The army quitting across'' this drive
will be a volunteer army of patriotic
men, women and children. The i'm
PIGMENTS of warfare will he plows,
spades, hoes and rakes. The object
will be to subdue Mother Earth and
harness her in cooperation with the
air, rain and sunshine for the pur-
pose of producing many times the
amount of vegetables that we're ever
grown in the State of North Dakota.
These vegetables will replace millions
OF pounds of wheat, meat and other
food which can ship to our soldiers
and allies.
Furthermore, these vegetables repre-.
sent the saving of'our spare minutes
which when invested in war gardens
are on . par in value to our country,
with the nickels and dimes With which
We buy war savings stamps.
Now is the time to begin prepara-
lions for this spring drive. A plan
of the garden should be made. This
should provide for q continuous sup
ply of 9 variety of vegetables through
out the entire summer and a surplus
for canning and winter storing. AS
garden seed will be scarce this year
any good seed that has been carried
over should Do used, bat before decid-
ing to use old seed, make a germina-
ton test by placing q sample between
two moist blotters. After the garden
plan has been made and the old seed
tested, the entire seed order should
be made out and sent in so as to as
sure prompt receipt which will be i'm
possible if ordered during the early
spring.
If you do not have enough ground
for . good garden, look around for a
good site and arrange to rent it so
you will be ready when spring comes.
Also start your early vegetable plants
In q few weeks or arrange to have
them grown for you by a gardener or
greenhouse man.
Let everyone join this movement
and produce food.

THAT P|LLSBURY TRIP

Last Friday evening the Hope
High School second team, con.
sisting of Everett King, Nels
Bjerklund, Robert Dorrance,
Jay Bissell, Harry Jones, Syl-
vester Brewster, accompanied
by Alfred Hetland and H. j.
Pepper, drove across to Pills
bury for a game of basket ball
with the high school team of
that place. Upon their arrival
however, they found that some
misunderstanding had taken
place in arranging the date and
that Pillsbury expected to play
the game the following night in
stead. AS the contest had been
advertised a good deal and was
being looked forward to with a
great amount of interest, the
Pillsbury people very Hospitality
opened up their homes and en-
tertained the boys over night
and Saturday.
The Pillsbury Branch of the
Red Cross were: holding amen.
tertainment Friday evening in
the hall so all the boys attended
and enjoyed it. The EVENINGS
entertainment was made up of a
short program, a fine supper,
and afterwards a general good
time playing games, etc. The
program consisted of numbers
by the grade children, selections
by the ladies' quartet, a speech,
and lastly a number of cbarades
acted by the high school stu.
dents and guessed by the audi
ence All numbers showed
careful preparation and were
heartily appreciated by those
present. The Red Cross real
lied $53 for their evenings work.
The basket ball game proved
to be a hard fought contest from
start to finish with Pillsbury in
the lead most of the time. The
guards on both sides worked
hard and thus kept down the
score, which stood 20 to 5 in
Pillsbury's favor at the end.
After the game a social dance
! was held until midnight when
the Hope team was entertained
for lunch before starting on
their return trip.
This write-up would not be
complete without mentioning the
splendid manner in which the
Hopeites were treated from the
time they arrived until they left
and all sincerely appreciate
what Pillsbury did for them,
and hope that when the return
game is played they may partly

 We express our gratitude and our appreciation of the indefatigable and whole -souled service to Mr. Wyckoff during his pastorate of eight years. His enthusiasm and desire to serve God have led him to toll untiringly and with singieness of purpose to de- velop the work of our church in this community. His knowledge of and statewide experience in Sunday school work have given to the church a unique opportunity.
 It is our sincere hope that Mir. Wyckom may find in a larger field than this the opportunity of continued and greater usefulness and that it may be given to him in after years to see the abundant fruit of his labor. F We express our sorrow that thestime mas come to sever the relation of min lister and people, and our> feeling of personal loss in the separation from the family in the parsonage. Our best wishes and prayers will follow them in their new home
