RAILROAD MEN TURN
TO WAR GARDENING
p. r. r. to Offer Land to
Operatives at Nominal
Rental
u. S. BACKS THE PLAN
Aim to Enlist Every Employe in
Movement TO Cultivate
+ Vacant Plots

"Every employe gardener and Il
garden for every omploye" is the slogan
Of The "war garden" division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which
within the next three days, will place
In the hands Of every emp!oyc Il cir.
cular explaining how this desired OBJ
feet is to be accomplished Ileadquar.
ters for this great project will he at
the Broad street Offices, where plans
are also being laid to furnish these
"yar gardeners" with copies of the
Government Garden Primer"
This project has the backing of the
Federal Food Administration. the Penn
sylvania Railroad officials and the
American Association of Dining Car Su-
perintendents. Under the plan pro-
posed, each employe can secure right
of-way land at the nominal rental of
81 per acre. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road, as well as oth- railroad COM
panies, has been forced at different
times in the past to purchase entire
fields and portions of farms in order to
build line or an approach to "A bridge
There are thousands of acres of this
kind of land available and 1t is the
intention of the railroad companies to
see that this land Is cultivated as war
gardens
Seeds for these plots must be Sc
cured by the employees taking the land,
as must also fertilizers. The rail-
road will furnish the instructions for
planting ground, where they are desired.
1t is stated that last year, when more
than 1900 gardens We're under culti-
ba,
dollars worth of garden truck and pro-
duce were raised on these plots. Book
let's of instruction issued cover all
phases of planting, harvesting. drying
and preserving. and go very thoroughly
into the subjects treated
The Pennsylvania system east of
Pittsburgh is composed of twenty-six
divisions and it may be. before the
summer is over, that prizes will be
offered for the best garocns. s'noto-
graphs are to be taken of the prize gar
dens and these will be in-o-rpeu as
part of the war records of the lines.
Most of the garden plots are taken,
II is said> by employees living in the
country districts. Many of the war
gardeners" are thrifty foreigners, al
ready skilled in the art of truck-gar-
dening and glad of the opportunity TO
raise ana sell 1oOu nrOuucc OF all klnuS
Nearer the city, the number Of war
gardens grow less, due to the fact that
clerks and other employees of the rail-
road do not have the chance to work
on war gardens obtainable only on out
lying districts.
None of the ground about stations
and depots will be placed under culti-
walton. it is said, as the need is not yet
drastic enough to call for such a plan.
II Is the sincere hope, however. of the
railroad officials that every employe
will wherever possible. take advantage
of this offer dig in and raise as much
garden truck this year as the ground
will produce. 1t is understood that a
number of employees have had applica-
tions on file from last year and that
the total number for this summer will
therefore be larger than last year.

United States and were opposed to "a
ulSnonoraDle peace or peace with evil.
At yesterdays session, Thomas Fisher.
one of the delegates, urged the Friends
not to invest in Liberty bonds, War
Saving or Thrift Stamps, and not to do
anything that would assist the Govern
ment in pursuing its military opera
tions. Mr.. Fisher deplored the action
of certain Friends who have offered
their services in the selling of Liberty
Bonds.
The meeting yesterday was marked
by several utterances of the members
calling for martyrs" one man. who
acknowledged not being a Friend. but
only desired to address them because
he knew they were all his friends, since
they were mutually allied with God In
his work. said he was willing to be

pertaining to war.

Douglas may put O'Neil in the lead. This, in fact, was the prediction from there last night.
 The representatives are so close to. gether in most instances that it is hard to say who is leading. However. Gull, Jennings, Hayward and Curtis now are leading, but the returns from Bisbee and Douglas may change this.
 Great surprise was occasioned when it was seen in the early reports that R. N French was leading Bruce Stephenson for county attorney and as the night advanced the margin grew greater. MT Stephenson conceded his defeat late last night by an estimated majority of 800 votes.
 Guy c. Welch walked away with the race for county treasurer on the early reports having several times as many votes as his opponent, Joe Par win
 The supervisors race is another close one. which may be turned either way by the returns from Bisbee and Douglas. John Rock is in the lead. C. M. Roberts second, " NJ. Johnson third and l. C. E. Adams fourth. How ever none has any great margin.
 It appears that Bert Policy will be for constable in Bisbee and James Allison for justice of the peace. In Lowell it appeared that J. L. Win. ters would be nominated for justice of the peace and H. H. Rohmfalk for
