can dry, can or store for later home consumption
 EGETABLES FOR WINTER USE The gardener who has provided for the immediate needs of his family and its canning and drying requirements there after should devote attention to fall crops of root vegetables such as potatoes beets late turnips. carrots and parsnps, which can be stored easily for later use. It also would be well to give attention to the production of mature Lima or other beans which can be shelled and kept in bags
 The garden specialists of the depart ment and of the state agricultural col- leges stand ready to help everyone make the greatest possible success of his home garden and to assist in the canning of surplus food.
 With the cooperation of the press, the department will carry the gardening ad- vice of it's specialists directly to many millions of readers. To supplement this Food From Your Backyard series, the department has issued two new war gar den bulletins for every home gardener who wishes to help free himself. They are.
 The Farm Garden In the North" Far mer's bulletin No. 937.
 Home Gardening in the South. Far mer's bulletin No. 934.

 REMEMBER
 The hoe is mightier than the word.
 Change notion to motion--turn patri- otic impulses into real backyard service.
 Are your garden tools repaired and ready for use?
 Most owners of small gardens are con- tent to raise single crop on each plot of land at their disposal, but it is quite possible to grow two three crops of some vegetables in one season.
 Frost is less likely to injure vegetables planted on high ground than those plant ed in low places or valleys into which the heavier cold air commonly settles
 Intensive culture and carefully arrang- CT rotations will help make every foot of available space in the small garden pro- duce the maximum yield.

ADJUSTMENTS
Ioew's Bijou

Ioaw,s Riiou bill for the first haif of tho wee,x went lover the top" yes terdav afternoon and night with a hang that spelled public approval the variety of the programme being so varied as to please every patron of tbis popular vaudeville and movie house.
 Murray Livingstons act is worth the nrice of admission and would be worth it even if the price of the show was a dollar. He is one of the great est protean actors ever seen in Bir- mingham and his recitations as he portrays chose characters you see ev- ery day on the streets are so intense ly human that you would have to grab yourself away from the theatre to keep from enjoying his work. lie is a finished actor and a magic quick change artist, as well lNas person with penetrating personality.
 Ed and I.ottie Ford gotta good rec ognition from the audience in their revue of modern dancing. Their steps were clever, the execution graceful and pleasing. This couple was former ly of the four famous Fords.
 Rawls and Won Kaufman. an ex- ceptionally good lookipE girl with blackface comedian as a partner, made hit with their farce comedy sketch, "A Willing Workeri' Rawls as blackface is about the best on negro dialect that has been presented here lately His droll comedy and witti- cisms were right from the south and heartily enjoyed Alvin and Williams, pair of songster monologists, were easy favorites with the audience early in their act. They sing well and have line of nonsensical humor that is funny.
 Bell Thazar brothers are rightly termed America's physical marvels, They are two of the best acrobats Loew has ever offered his thousands of Birmingham patrons. Their work was difficult and absolutely new, and was heartily applauded
 "Six Shooter Andy" in which that inmitable cowboy comedian Tom Mix, who played two-reel comedies more successfully than any other star in plays of the western plains. is a thriller. It is a happy mixture of comedy, pathos and romance. Mix is better in this picture than in any former effort. As star in big fea- ture productions he is far better than he was in comedy plfotopIays.
 The usual comics. cartoons and Loew's current news features were ex- ceptionaliy good and freely applaud ed when the patriotic scenes were flashed on the screen.

Lyric

A pleasing bill featured by music, song,
 dance, novelty and originality enter tained crowded houses at the Lyric Monday evening. The bill is we'll bal- anced and every act received much ap- plause Dorothy Sherman's Southern Serenade," singing songs of the sixties, is high class musical act, in which the melodies of the civil war period are fea- tured. The company is composed of six talented musicians and the atmosphere of the old south is carried out in the setting. The old southern melodies rem dered in most capable manner proved highly entertaining and delightful, Keny, Mason and Scholl electrify the audience with their amazing feats on oller skates. They present high class acrobatic and hand balancing act on skates. The act reaches it's climax when one of the trio skates on his head and another on his hands. Franker Wood and Bunee Wyde entertain in a pleasing comedy, song and dance offering. which they call That's All Right" Both are clever entertainers and they present their act in novel atmosphere and a very clever manner. Wood is clever comedian and dancer and his partner IS an attractive woman, as we'll as clever entertainer. "Discontent, one of vau- deville's pelasing numbers. is ably pre- sented by Clarence Oliver and Georgie Olp. This act has been seen here be- fore and it has lost none of its attrac- tiveness. It is original and unique and altogether refreshing, and different from the ordinary run of vaudeville acts. 0li- yer and Olp are well known entertainers and received a cordial reception. Cook and Lorenze draw the laughs as soon as they arrive on the stage so ludtcrous IS their makeup. They have a bright line of chatter and appeared to please im- mensely judging from the applause. At the Monday performances the Lyric in- augurated the showing of the Lyric screen telegrams, the very latest pie lures of current events. sAmong the scenes shown Monday was Vtvnon Cas- tie in his last flight Other interesting and entertaining up-to-the-minute events were also enjoyed.

In 1918:
 Every family must help feed itself.
 Fresh vegetables must be used to les sen home consumption of staple foods needed by troops and the allies.
 Home-produced food must lessen de- mand on railroads and other deliveries.
 More food must be canned in homes than ever before.
 There must be war garden in every backyard fertile and sunny enough to grow vegetables.
 Every seed planted must be made to count in the food supply.
 -U. s. Department of Agriculture.
 The obligation of every man, woman anG child out of uniform to help feed himself will be greater in 1918 than in 1917 Therefore, the home gardening and canning activities of last year must be repeated
 This is the message of the United States department Of agriculture to ev- cry family. Those who cannot produce, can conserve and save food. There must be no backsliding among experienced gardeners; they must repeat their con-
  must not deter those who tried garden ing for the first time in 1917 from capi- talking their increased Knowledge and skill Those with experience must help thousands of beginners to make every seed count-to get satisfactory returns from their work with hoe, rake and watering can. There must be no slacken- ing off. Gardening is everybody's bus mess. but in 1918 every one must attend to that business.
 WORD OF CAUTION
 And now word Of caution. Don't plant more than you can cultivate; don't try to raise more than you can use And water systematically all spring and summer. A few square yards well titled will yield more than a half acre allowed to run to weeds.
 The department advises strongly against effort by amateur gardeners to produce truck crops for sale. Such enterprises commonly prove unwise, burdensome to all concerned, and not infrequently fi- nancially unprofitable. Much precious seed and fertilizer-to say nothing of time and labor-were wasted last year in such undertakings. The governments home gardening specialists believe that best results will be attained if each fam fly attempts to raise only enough vege- tables to supply it's own table and to afford the surplus which it's members
