ute to Soldiers Of
King Albert.

New York.-Senator Henri La Fon-
taine of Belgium. the head of the fund
for "Gifts for Belgian Soldiers" au-
thorizes the following:
We have been advised that M. Glenn

recently has visited the Belgian front.
His comment after seeing the Belgian
army was: 81 see that your morale Is
even better than II was formerly"
Premier Clemenceau visited an I'm
~teresting sector of the User. where he
entered the trenches and huts. He had
an opportunity to see the benefit Of
the work the "Gifts for Belgian Sol
diers" fund Is doing. The help which
this fund gives the soldiers by supply
ing them with a few OF the comforts
they need so much, Is contributing
more than anything to keep their mo-
rale on a high level. Practically all
Of these soldiers have been In the
trenches for nearly four years.

Woodcraft Potato Clubs, Founded by
Ernest Thompson Seton, VIII
Compete for Medals.

New York.-Home gardeners last
year were prompted by only one pa
triotic impulse, to help increase our
food supply. This year there is a Sec
ond reason, the need to do all that we
can to avoid further congestion Of
freight shipments. On account Of
their bulk In shipment, potatoes are
therefore n of the most important
Of the vegetables for home growing
and because of this the work Of the
Woodcraft Potato clubs, founded last
year by Ernest Thompson Seton, Is
meeting q hearty response. These
clubs Of boy and girl 'potatriots" as
Mr.. Seton has dubbed them, fiourished
In 26 states last year and the indica-
lions are that their number will much
more than double this spring. Their
slogan is "Grow a bushel OF potatoes
and save a bushel of transportation"
There are no dues or fees and any
boy or girl who Is willing to raise at
least "a hills of potatoes can secure a
Woodcraft Potato club button and
compete for the medals and prizes by
merely enrolling as a member. The
headquarters are at 13 West Twenty
Ninth street, New York. A special
class for older members who wish to
raise q larger crop offers to each men,
Der raising n bushel or more a spe-
cial certificate for rendering patriotic
service and a gold medal will be
awarded for the largest crop. 1t is
suggested that members contribute
the proceeds of their crops to some
war fund, but this is not required.
The competitions and prizes are
open to those who may already be
working I'm a home conservation OF
garden club. In most states, potatoes
planted during the first half of May
do as well as those planted earlier
but, whether or not you have already
planted your potatoes, 1t is not toe
late to enroll In Mr.. Seton's ~organizaF
ton of 'potatriots."
