THE UNITED STATES
SCHOOL GARDEN ARMY

The United States School Garden
Army wos organized in March of
1918.
President Wilson set aside $50
900 from his National Security and
Defense appropriation to promote
the work for the first six months.
He has since appropriated 100000
more to carry the work through an
other 10 months.
Two main purposes prompted the
Manning of the United States School
iarden Army (a) Increased food
reduction and OBJ training of the
school children in thrift, industry,
service, patriotism, and responsible
lily.
The necessity for man power was
being felt This was especially true
agricultural pursuits. Not alone
sere the drafted young men going
nom the farm, but great numbers of
arm employees We're being attracted
the cities by higher wages offered
other industries. If the millions
city boys and girls could be in
'cced to give their leisure time to
allyating the thousands of acres of
UTILIZED land in front and back yards

QUAINT LEGEND OF ALSACE
Race Of Giants Who Saw Importance
to Them of the Food
Producers.

There is a quaint old legend of AL.
SAGE, recalls the Christian Science
Monitor, concerning a family of giants
who, once upon a time, lived in a GER
tain castle in the old country. The
moral of the story seems appropriate
at time when the French minister of
agriculture is making special effort to
encourage the cultivation of land.
The giants lived, says the legend
far from the peasants of the plain
and one day the daughter of the
house who, though quite a child, was
already 30 feet high, strOlled toward
the plain and saw labOrer peacefully
plOwing his field. She picked up the
peasant, the horse and the plow, anC
put them in her pinafOre and returned
to the castle to show what she haC
found to her father.
"What you think is but a toy" sale
the giant, ''is what produces the fOOC
which enables us to live. Put bacl
the labOrer and his horse where yoI
found them" From that time on
ward, adds the tale, the peasants wer,
never mOlested by the giants.

SMALL SUM FOR "CAMILLE"
Alexandra Dumas Fills Received Only
$50 for Manuscript of Great
Story.

In the Hotel DrOuOt recently, the
library of Jules Claretie, the eminent
French journalist, novelist, dramatic
author and former director of the
COmedie Franchise, who died in 1915
was sold. Among other gems, his col
lection of books included the manu-
script of Alexandra Dumas Fills "Tale
of Lottery" sixteen pages i'll all, pub
lished in 1851. The manuscript con.
tanned a letter from Dumas to Jules
Claretie, informing the latter that fol
these sixteen pages he was paid the
sum of $240.
II was almost as much ashamed as
was pleased" writes Dumas, "tO re
ceive this amount. It was far more
than l was paid for my entire manu-
script of La Dame aux Comellias,
which I sold to Michel Levy for tn,
sum of $50.
This novel, which Michel Levy pur
chased for $50, yielded the latter 500,
600. Long after he had signed II
Dumas regretted this contract whicl
enriched his publisher at so slight

FIRST TEACHERS TO CHINA
Missionari, Followed the Close Of
the War With Great Britain
in 1845.

The first general attempt to intro
duce Christianity into China dates
from April "a, 1915, when the Chinese
government, following the disastrous
war with Great Britain, granted per-
mission to foreigners TO teach the
Christian religion. Missionaries from
many countries began Immediately to
flock to China, but in most places the
'white devils" were received with hos
tility. The Emperor TaOu-Kwang,
who in the latter part of his reign
favored the Introduction of European
arts and religion, died in 1850, and
his son, Hieng-Fung, adopted a reac-
tiOuary policy.
One of the odd results Of the intro
ductiOn of Christianity in China was
the appearance in 1851 of a rebel lead.

One-Man Pontoons.

Building bridges under fire, the
greatest ordeal that the army engi-

The new invention is a sort of glOri-

is adapted to the fOrding of deep

bridge building. The encircling buoy

Herbert" said Mrs. Pudge, when
the tea things were cleared away, Il
was thinking about that costume l
wore the winter before last"
Eyes, DEAR" replied Fudge, appre-
hensively.
Il decided that I could turn it and
make really nice dress Of it. The
one I've been wearing is dreadfully
shabby, you know"
"Turn. OF course, it would turn,
DEAR" agreed Pudge, with some en-
thusiasm. you're such a clever little
needlewOman. No, am not flattering.
And, as you say, your other dress is
trifle on the down grade. Why, We'll
be able to save money at least by that
notion"
Mrs. Pudge shook her head sadly
and guilefully.
There" she remarked, ''yOur mem
Ory is just as bad as mine. I'd quite
forgotten that gave the dress to COu-
sin Lizzie this spring; so I'm afraid
that saving scheme must wait. Isn't

Weapons of War.

This is the most scientific war ever
fought. There is less dependence on
man power and more on machinery
than at any time in the history Of the
world, says the Popular Science
Monthly. We pin our faith to high ex-
plOsives, poison gases, tear shells, gas
masks, liquid fire, etc, all of which
are applied chemistry, and to machine
guns, heavy artillery, automobiles, sub
marines, airplanes. and so forth,
which are very much refined mechan-
les. The greatest minds in the scien-
tific and mechanical world have pooled
their brains and obtained wonderful
results.

City pweIIer and the Tin Can.

(which the proper authorities will veri-

Thirty per cent of the business of
the wholesale grOcers of the entire
country is in canned goods. In the
wholesale houses of New York, Chi
cago, Philadelphia and other large cit
les, foods make up 40 per cent of the
business.

take the tin cans out of any city OF
the first or second class, the inhabi.

once. That means, of course, that
those cities could not have grown sc

Matthew H. oBrien was born in
Bridgeport, Conn, twenty-five years
ago. When he was twelve years old
his parents moved to Washington.
The aviator was graduated from Cen
Sral High School at the age OF flf-
teen, after which he attended Wes-
leyan University at Middletown,
Conn. where he received a degree in
the law department with the class OF
1916
While at wesleyan o'Brien gained
fame as one Of the best all-around
athletes in New England. He made
Walter Camps All America football
team in 1915, and was manager Of
the baseball team in his senior year.
But the greatest distinction O'Brien
gained while in college was his
promulgation of Commons Clubs in
other universities and colleges. Wes-
leyan had the first Commons Club,
and il was organized by Woodrow
Wilson during the period of the
Presidents professorship at the in

club, because, at that time, he did
not believe in college fraternities.

Plattsburg. He refused a commits
sion to return to Washington and
complete his law studies at George
