TAKE THOUGHT OF THE
SPRING GARDEN NOW

Take thought of the spring garden
now.
Notwithstanding the large produc'
ton of vegetables this year and the
great volume put into cans and Jars
for winter use, there is nothing to in
dictate that there will not be equal
need for production and conservation
in 1918. says the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Many gardens failed this year be,
cause of poor soil or poor prepare
ton or both.
This is the time in many sections
to break and to fertilize. Then in the
spring 1t will be easier to make the
seed bed and the soil will contain
plant food.
For the average householder it will
be sufficient to prepare ground enough
to produce the home supply for eat
ing in the fresh state and for canning,
drying or brining for use during the
following winter. Producing vege-
tables for market should not be under
taken without full knowledge of hor-
ticulture and sufficient capital and
equipment.
Marshalltown, Iowa, a city Of 10000
has located through its county agent
and special agent OF the extension
depal tment rs acres of lots within the
city limits which were not cultivated
the past season. They also found
that much ground was not properly
plowed and prepared during the past
season and that many OF these lots
failed to produce because of the poor
character Of the soil. Crops not well
adapted to certain soils had been
planted.
1t is the plan of the county agent
and the local organization in Mar
shalltown to extend the cultivated
area and to see that the crops are
adapted to soil conditions. Investiga-
lions in this city showed that $4,000
was paid in cash last year for food
for the poor. Ninety per cent of the
potatoes consumed were imported
from long distance. The committees
conducting this survey work were ap-
pointed by the mayor and they are
new systematically arranging to man
ure. pillow, and assign these lots to
persons desiring ground for gardens
next year
Here Is what one Iowa city is doing
to get ready for next years garden
campaign.
First. A survey of the City was
made and rs acres of space suitable
for gardens was located inside the
city limits in addition to what was
put In gardens last spring.
Second, Three hundred tons OF man.
ure which could be used for fertilizer
were located within the city limits.
Third. An inspection of the treas.
urer's books showed that $4,000 in
cash were paid out last year to needy
people.
Fourth. Ninety per cent OF the pota.
toes consumed last year were shipped
In from outside points.
What did the city do about IL?

There is one simple, easy way by which every family
IN the United States stand up and be counted-by
which every and child enlist in the hun
dred million, allAmerican army which the Germans
dread
One of the most significant utterances made during
the entire war was made by prominent German official
when America cast her lot with the allies:
eve do not fear the American soldiers because they
cannot arrive in time what we fear the intelligence and
devotion of one hundred million Americans trained to
faith IN Individual initiative The day that those hundred
millions act as one, that day is Germany's DOOM"
Today Germany is fighting with a new and more
desperate energy because she fears that the American SOL
dlers will arriver in time.
But Germany still refuses to believe that our hundred
million people will "act one"
How prove it to her? How can we strike to
the heart of the Hun? How convince the kaiser
that the day of his doom approaches?
That way is to lend money to our country.
BY War Saving Stamp; costing you until February
l, 1918, $4.12, worth SIS on January 1, 1923.
II you cannot pay for it in immediate cash buy a u.
S. Thrift Stamp for 25 cents and keep on buyng them
until you have It, Then add few cents in cash and ex-
change them for the War Saving Stamp
Begin to do this now. Save every cent you can and
put it into these stamps.
The money will be used Immediately to provide guns
ammunition food clothing other supplies for our SOL
diers and sailors.
This will be bad news for the kaiserhe worst he has
ever heardfor will prove to him that we are ready to
act as one. 1t will prove that not only our men but
every dollar we have is behind our country II will ove

Washington, Feb. 24.--Increasingly
important activities by the American
forces on the western front and the
return for rest at a leave station of
the men who have completed their
first period of duty in the trenches
are noted in this weeks review OF
military operations by the war de-
partment.
In news of the renewed German of
fensve against the Russians the de-
partment finds no cause for surprise
but adds nothing to information car
ried in press dispatches. The review
was written before announcement
came that the Bolsheviki had accept
ed Germany's peace terms
Hitherto little opposition has been
offered advancing Germans" the de-
partment says, "and it is not as yet
clear what preparations the Russians
are making to meet the enemy Ow-
ing to the disorganiZation of the Rus
sian forces, it is difficult to presage
what effective opposition they may
be able to place in the path of the in
vaders."
On the Western Front.
OF the western front the review
says:
"While no major undertakings were
recorded in the west, the entire front
was the scene of hard-driven assaults
of a minor character.
"Our own forces are taking an in
creasngly important part in the OPP
erations. Last week we recorded the
participation of our artillery In the
very successful thrust made by the
French in the region of the Butte du
Mesnil. This week the presence of
our infantry in very important area
of the Chem Des- Danes Is reported
Here our patrols have been outside
our barbed-wire and have undertake
en- number of scouting expeditions
in No Mans Land which were sue
cessfully carried through.
"At the time our detachments were
coming up into the trenches they were
under heavy hostile shell fire; never
theless, our men made their way to
their stations without confusion or
casualties. 1t Is useful to note that
our forces now in action in this, one
OF the most active sectors of the entire
French front have acquitted them
selves very creditably.
"Our men who have completed
their first period of duty in the
trenches have arrived at the leave
center established at AK Les Baines.
This is the first of series of centers

men can find rest and recreation af-
