at 2:SO p. m.
Cooke county speakers and work
ers are coming, 100 strong, to assist
in the great work. They win arrive
at the courthouse at IL q. m. and be
met by our citizens and entertained
for dinner, and return to the court
house at 1 p. M, and be assigned for
speaking engagements.
An interesting program has been
arranged for night meeting in the
courthouse at 8 p, m, and it is hoped
that each and every auxiliary in the
county will have representatives at
this meeting. 81
While this is a renewal drive, there
should be some new members gained
at every point.
The president Of each auxiliary is
expected to make the report to the
night meeting or designate some one
to represent the auxiliary, but the
secretary of each auxiliary is re-
quested to make the financial report
at some other time and not bring
the money taken in to this night
meeting. ~
Some Of the auxiliaries have no
members due for renewal" and are
therefore not on the list for speak
ing engagements, but we hope that
each auxiliary will ask its members
to attend the closest meeting to them
and assist in the work. All new or
renewal members can be listed with
any auxiliary in the county, no mat
ter where they attend.

ments for speaking and names of the

YOUNG AMERICA AND THE
LIBERTY LOAN

President Wilson has mustered in
to the army of workers for the Third
Liberty Loan the Boy Scouts Of Amer
lea and the Girl Scouts.
The work of the Boy Scouts in the
two previous Liberty Loan Campaigns
was an inspiring feature. In the sec
ond campaign they obtained 533 900
subscriptions for over $100,000,O0O
worth of bonds.
The work of the Boy Scouts and the
Girl Scouts in this great national eff
fort will be not only Of great practi-
cal service to the country, but of
great educational value to the boys
and girls in preparing thenfor patri-
otto useful citizenship. The patriot
ism of the young people of America
is guarantee Of the future; it means
good citizens and good Americans in
the making. They are the citizens Of
tomorrow and they are doing much to
make the world safe for democracy
when that morrow comes.
The Boy Scouts have not only shown
their patriotism, they have demon
strated their efficiency and their value
to the country. With the Girl Scouts
also enlisted in the work they must
look to their laurels.

SOME READABLE VERSE
RECESSIONAL PRAYER

rr h. s., Easter, 1910 So. 5..,s +
Now wide the scented lilies break,
And clear the Easter songs awake,
This Easter Day, for Jesus sake.
The saints in their bright windows
glow, a
The quiet women come and go.
Hearing the choir's boy-voices sing
Their carols, sharp-remembering
Lads young as they, one nearby
spring
Lads ringed today by fire and steel
So deep that scarce their thoughts
may feel
This quiet church where women kneel.
Within the windows painted pride
Christ and His saints stand glorified,
Their strife long ceases this Easter
tide. .. .v
The strong young saints stand tall
arrow,
Glad with the glory that they know
Their mothers grief passed long ago:
Yet they, with their bright robes out
spread,
And our young sons where fields run
red,
They are one army, quick and dead.
Christ, Whom the grave gave back to
reign, ....#
Whose mother prays no more in pain,
Give US our sons back safe again!

LABOR SHORTAGE

Labor is scarce. You cannot take
millions of the best workers out OF
productive labor and turn them into
soldiers and sailors, without making
labor scarce. You cannot take other
millions of men and women out OF
their peace-t;me jobs and set them to
making munitions, without making
labor scarcer still.
But scarce or not, if this country,
it's soldiers and its allies are to be fed
i'm short, if we are to stand any
chance of winning-there must be
labor on the farms: Other places
where there must be labor are such
places as the munition factories, the
coal mines, the ship yards, the steel
mills, the cotton and wool factories
and the shoe factories. What there
is must be used where it will do the
most good. The country has right
to demand this. You have right to
demand this. If it cannot be done, we
cannot win the war.

HOME GARDEN CAMPAIGN

"A productive home garden on ev-
cry farm and~a back yard garden for
every village, town, and city home,"
is the slogan of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Many forces
and different organizations are help
ing in the garden campaign, but the
United States department of agri-
culture and the agricultural colleges
are carrying the biggest end of the
work of organization and instructions.
There are approximately 10000, 900
fural families in the United States,
and approximately 100000 addition
al families in cities and towns up to
rs 900 population. In the entire Unit
ed States there are about 81 900 900
families, but a portion of these in the
large congested centers of the popu-
lation can not have gardens. A home
garden for every possible family is
the aim. The work is we'll under way,
already having been organized in
January for this years campaign Of
food production.

little ridge over the seed but it dis
appears with cultivation.
1t. will pay to treat the seed potas
toes for scab, even though they seem
to be perfectly clean and healthy. Put
one ounce Of formalin in two gallons
Of water and soak the potatoes in it
for l IL hours. Then spread them out
to dry and do not cut them until
planting time.
The bulletin says that seed potatoes
for the spring crop should be sprout-
ed before they are planted. To do
this spread them out in warm place
in full light. Short stout sprouts will
start. These must be handled care
fully, so as not to break them off in
planting.
The best size Of seed to plant is
about III ounces, either for whole
small potatoes or for cut pieces. Cut
the larger potatoes so as to have two
or more eyes in each piece, unless the
eyes are far apart and two-eye piece
would be too large; in that case cut
to one-eye pieces. When the cut
pieces have only one eye they may be
planted little close together than
if they have two or more eyes. Plant
as soon as cut. -t
When the spring crop is dug select
those to be used for seed for the fall
crop and place them one layer deep
in cool, shady place, and cover with
a couple of inches of soil or litter.
Wet them thoroughly and when they
are nicely sprouted plant them care
fully. Sometimes the fall crop seed
IS planted as soon as the spring crop
is dug, without first being sprouted,
but it is better to sprout them. The
United States Department of Agri-
culture wants to help you. Or ask
your state experiment station.

HOW THE SOLDIERS TAKE IT

HOW THE SOLDIERS TAKE 1T
"Ill be hanged if this isn't civiliza-
tion," was the view expressed by
veteran sergeant of the regular army,
upon his first visit to the A. L. A.
Camp Library, at Camp Funston,
Kansas. He wandered about looking
at the book shelves and the comfort
able reading chairs. He then walked
over to the Camp Librarian and de-.
livered his characteristic comment.
To the Public Library at Newark,
N. j., came a letter from a soldier in
the New Jersey camps. He had heard
Of tie A. L. A. work. His station was
too small to have camp library OF
its own, so he wisely wrote to the
nearest public library: "Can't you
send us something to read?" he ask
led. "We amt got no books. We are
regulars but we get just as lonesome
as the National Guards"
+ In every large camp library SER
vice has been inaugurated, under the
direction of a trained librarian; in
nearly every large city there is a To-
cal headquarters lat the Public Ii
brary) in operation for the receipt,
preparation and dispatch of material
proffered as gift; main assemb-
ling and dispatch office (the "A. L. A.
Dispatch Ofice') is provided in the
New York Public Library; and spe-
cial ones at or near embarkation
points are established for the receipt
and preparation of books to be ship
ped abroad. An important one is at
Hoboken - 119 Hudson street, in
charge of Mr.. Asa Don Dickinson, an
other at Newport News, in charge of
VIM. H. Brett of the Cleveland Public
Library At these embarkation points
will be operated the service to the men
on the outgoing transports.
More than SOC, 900 books are already
in the larger training camps with an
additional $4,000 in the smaller
camps. These are not mere "heaps Of
books" but carefully assorted and ar
ranged collections. They are handled
much as they would be in any public
library, though with the minimum of
formality. Another $4,000 are on
their way to camps or have been ship
ped abroad. Of this total of over
100000, more than 100000 have been
purchased from the fund. The rest
are gifts.

POTATOES THE THING

The one staple garden crop above
all others needed this year is Irish
potatoes, says today's bulletin from
the National War Garden Commits
sion of Washington. Have you the
free war garden primer Readers OF
this paper will get one by sending a
two-cent stamp to the commission.
Potatoes, may to large extent, be
substituted for grains, and may be
served in so many appetizing ways
that they should be grown in gener-
GUS amounts this year, says the bull
letin. They may be planted as soon
in the spring as the ground can be
put into condition. Prepare the ground
as deeply as possible without turning
up much poor subsoil and make rows
three inches deep about 80 inches
apart. Use we'll rotted manure or fer
tilizer, but do not use coarse manure.
Have the hills from IA to 10 inches
apart, depending upon the richness Of
the ground. Cover the seed pieces
about 4 inches deep, this makes a

SHOULDER ARMS

Every available square foot of till
able soil in America should be made
to grow food this year.
There should be no Stacker back
yards, no Stacker vacant lots. -..
Every man and boy, every woman
and girl, who can find place to plant
seed should have garden, if it is
only few feet square.
The home gardens last year added
enormously to the supply of food.
The home gardens this year should
add twice as much to the food supply
as they did last year.
The home gardens should be made
to grow food for daily use during the
summer, with surplus to be canned,
dried or otherwise preserved for win
ter use. ~,
Frills should be cut out, experiments
abandoned, and the energy Of home
gardeners confined to practical food

WHEAT WILL WIN

Right now the matter of a greater
wheat acreage is most important. It
can not be expected, nor would it be
good farming for every farmer to SOW
a big acreage Of wheat regardless of
the condition of the land. However,
the thing to do is to raise wheat on
every available acre that is fit for
wheat cultivation. The country needs
every bushel that can be produced,
and the fixed price will compensate
the producer. Besides being patriotic,
the work will be profitable. A states
man of the Allies has said the war
will be won by the side having the
last bushel of wheat. Let us see that
our side has the last bushel.

AVOID APRIL FROSTS

Some garden plants are not injured
by light frosts, others are very sus-
ceptible. But it is better to err on the
side of over-caution, even if you are
a few days late with your first crops,
rather than to have any of them
killed, says today's bulletin from the
National War Garden Commission, of
Washington. BY watching the season
and the weather closely and compar-
ing with the groups here given, the
home food grower can determine
when it is perfectly safe for him to
set his various groups into the open
ground.
Plants not injured by light frost:
Early group: Cabbage, Irish pota-
toes, smooth peas, onion set, salad
groups, such as, kale spinach and
mustard.
Later groups: Lettuce, radishes,
parsnips, carrots, beets, wrinkled peas,
early sweet corn. -
The above may be planted in the
group order when heavy frosts are
over and the soil dry enough to work
The second group-vegetables kill
ed even by light frost-are as fol-
lows:
Early string beans, late sweet corn,
early tomatoe plants (Which should
be protected by newspaper, etc., in
sudden chilly weather.)
Late: to be planted only after
ground has begun to warm up-Cu-
cumbers, melons, squash, lima beans,
tomatoes, egg plant and peppers.
A good way to tell when to plant
the second group is to wait until the
apples blossom and then go ahead,
If you will plant your tomatoes,
egg plant, pepers and caulihower
seeds in indoor boxes or pots at the
time you make your earliest outdoor
paintings, the plants will be big
enough for transplanting when the
ground is warm.
Write to the National War Garden
Commission, Washington, for a free
primer, which this paper has arrang-
ed for any of it's, readers to secure
by sending a 2 cent stamp for postage.
