THE LOGAN HOME
GARDEN CLUB

1t is time for the boys and girls
to begin thinking of this years
garden plans. The Central Commit
tee is working very hard to get every
thing in shape for this years CAM
paign. The call Tor food is very
much keener and the need for con-
serving is very much greater this
coming summer than 1t was last
year. Our army Is larger, the AL
lies need more food and our surplus
in the United States Is very materi-
ally decreased, consequently 1t is the
patriotic duty of every American not
in the service. to get in the great
army OF producers.
We want to double our last years
output and we also want to double
the number of members in the Lo-
gan Home Garden Club. Let us prof
IL by last years experience and get
started early. A good start Is half
tnc BdttiCs bt6ih INV w Pisi shN
garden; fertilize the garden; and by
ali means make arrangements for
seed. Seed o, various kinds are very
short this year SO provide yourselves
with good seed early.
There is another phase Of produc'
ton we want to add to the move
ment this year and That is chicken
club. President Wilson and also Mr.
Hoover. have called for more meat
as well as more garden products. Let
us start at once and make arrange
ments for some chicks before the
gardens are ready. Arrangements
will be made whereby the boys and
girl scan obtain chicks at cost as
they are prepared to take care Of
them. This Is a wonderful opportun-
lily for Logan boys and girls. SO let
us get In and do our bit.

by four sets of train dispatchers with
two sets of chiefs in the background

referred for final decision.

their duty to weave passenger trains

This only covers the movement OF

marked by any excitement. The
almer-McCormick faction was
heavily represented and had as bas-
tons Joseph F. Guffey, late candi-
date for the gubernatorial honprs;
ex-State Treasurer William H. Berry,
John F. Short, the new United States
marshal. and various other federal
officials.
The fact that the Bonniwell peo-
pie did not have any fighters of the
first grade like William ]. Bremen,
Judge John NJ. Garman and others
was rather disappointing to the gath
ering which came primed for a scrap
| that would loom big even in recent
tempestuous Democratic history.

some of the leaders wanted to have
some confabs and to allow National
/ Chairman Vance C. Mccormick to
I get to the hall.
Candidates Steer Clear
1t was away behind the hour when
| the meeting began. 1t was noticeable
| that Democratic congressional and
legislative candidates gave the hall
wide berth. Quite a number of
, postmasters could not get here.
! However they can still contribute to
campaign funds at any time.
Rupp comes Late
Lawrence H. Rupp, of Allentown,
the new Democratic State Chairman,
assumed his official place when he
called the meeting to order and
asked for proxies. He was half an
! hour late but made a speech of a
sort.
The new State Chairman thanked
| the committee for his election in his
absence and lauded the Democratic
conduct of national affairs, predict
ing that the American flag would be
carried across the Rhine. Demo-
cratic National Chairman McCor-
mick and other party leaders were
present.
Ninety members responded to the
call, twenty-eight of them proxies.
Parke H. Davis, of Easton, pre-
sented the draft of the platform,
every reference to President Wilson
being applauded vigorously. The
platform was adopted. without COM
ment or a dissenting vote.
Dodges Prohibition
The platform recommended by the
platform committee does not contain
any reference to prohibition and
does not mention Judge Bonniwell
by name. 1t calls for support of can
didates of the Democratic party in
the State of Pennsylvania" and aft
er a strong endorsement of the Pres
