HOME GARDENS

President Georgia Chamber Of Com merce Shows How Millions Were
 Saved Last Year

Atlanta, Georgia,-fSpeciaf.1- 1-"Mors money was saved in 1917 through the medium of the home garden than ever before, the United States Department of Agriculture estimating that there were fully one million new gardens made last year." says H. G. Hastings. President of the Southeastern Fair and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, in an interview reviewing the 1917 farming operations In the South.
 Thousands upon thousands of our people in the South,' said MT. Hast ings, flor the first time in their lives learned to appreciate the money say ing power Of the home garden, proper ly planned, prepared for, planted and kept planted during the entire sea- son"
 up to the present 1t has been very hard to get our people to consider the home garden seriously as a real sub Stantial factor in food production with the consequent saving of money that went for food supplies at the store. Unless we are much mistaken the home garden will from now on be taken as seriously as any other part of the farm work.
 "A quarter to a half acre devoted 10 variety of vegetables liked by the family can be kept going nearly the whole year in the South and give it's owner as much as the product of two Or three acres of cotton, even at pres ent prices, will buy at the store. The right kind Of a garden means an abundance of healthful food during spring, summer and fall and an abund- ance either canned or dried for win ter use."
 Let no one be fooled by the lies spread abroad that the Government is going to seize home canned goods on closet shelves in the farm or home. These lies are started by Ger man agents for the express purpose of discouraging our people in increased food production and saving. Few can go to the firing line, but all can join in and have part in home produc- -tion of f0Ud. Ud-----
 We have never seen a permanent ly prosperous farm section either in the United States or in foreign coun- tries that was not a diversified sec tion, and in every diversified section the home garden has an honored and valued place. The home garden is a store bill cutter of the first rank"

Little Habits Count.

Great business men get the habit of being on time. It is they who know best the value of time and the impor. tance Of saving it by being prompt. Yet it may be hard to acquire the fixed habit of always being prompt, but 1t can be done and 1t Is worth while to do 1t. In the commonest things every one is influenced by little habits that we seldom suspect.-Exchange.

NEW YORK, February 13.-Upon his

considerably. while the other was of a
rather disquieting nature. Harry Har-
per came over to see his chief and pre-
sented the statement that he had been
placed in class of the registration for
war work and undoubtedly would be
available for his regular mound duty
next summer. On top of this, though.
Griffith was informed by John Henry
that Sam Rice had been placed in class
I. and sooner than go into the Army
through the regular selective machin-
cry intended to enlist.
When Rice was examined after regis
tering last summer he was turned down
for failure to measure up to the physi-
cal requirement. but the regulations
since have been changed, and Rice has
been informed that II incapable Of duty
in the trenches he undoubtedly can be
assigned to some work for which he is
physically qualified.
If Grifr consummates a deal it prob
ably will be with either the Red Sox or
Browns. He has appointments today
with representatives of both clubs.
Business Manager Quinn of the Browns
Is anxious to obtain a second baseman
to replace Derrill Pratt, recently sent
to the Yankees. ard is said to be not

Although Griffith has not said as
much. it is known he would not be un-
willing to accept Fritz Maisel AL
though trade of Morgan for Maisel
might be considered a toss up, with
the Browns getting probably the better
ball player Of the two, it would be an
advantageous one from a Washington
standpoint, owing to the better disci-
pine that would prevail in the ranks

affable Morgan. who never has taken
his work as seriously s he might

from the West Virginia town.
Following is an excerpt from q New
York paper which gives a rather in
teresting idea of athletic conditions at
Princeton:
while Harvard and Yale are debat-
ing the advisability of carrying on as
best they may next season, Princeton
has indicated very definitely through
it's board of athletic control that it is
through with athletics.
frank Sullivan, world-famous SWIM
ming coach; Speedy Rush. foot ball
coach. and Fred Luehring. basket ball
coach. are to be let out with the ex-
piration of their present contracts.
Fred Dawson, freshman foot ball and
base ball coach, may be spared because
he is connected with military instruc-
tion at Old Nassau. Keene Fitzpatrick,
the veteran trainer, will be retained.
In effect, this season can mean moth
ing less than the abandonment OF inter-
collegiate athletics by Princeton. In
tramural games are still possible, and
even informal play could be scheduled
at an obvious disadvantage to the
lecture. 1t is fairly plain that Prince
ton, or at least the board of athletic
control, has mapped out its own course
without consulting either OF It's TWO
traditional rivals. and will stick to IT.
"In the meantime a fine little family
row may be in the brewing. While

posed of an equal number of faculty
alumni and undergraduate members,
