committee and will be reported favor
ably to the house today.
Major Wood estimated that he will

SLOGANS That Have Counted,

One OF the bi factors IN arousing
the people Of tn nited States to the
great patriotic ser Ice they could per
form through war gardening was
through the slogans sounded from
time to time, writes Charles Lathrop
Pack, president Of the National War
Garden commission, In an article in
the Garden Magazine.
"Every garden a munition plant"
Is the slogan on the design drawn by
James Montgomery Flagg. "Can vege-
tables and fruit and can the kaiser,
too" is the slogan Of another striking
poster.
"Grow food F. o. B. the kitchen
door," is one of the forceful slogans
coined and used by the commission.
~Hohenrakes versus HohenzollernS'
is another of the phrases which has
hit the reader between the eyes.
Get into the garden trenches :"
1.-THE hoe Is the machine gun Of the
garden :" Food must follow the flag"
are slogans that have done their bit.
keep the home soil turning" is a
clever paraphrase Of the title Of a
famous song. Other successful
phrases used by the commission are !:
"Speed up and spade up" Tune up
