The Weather Bureau will publish
this fall in its National Weather and
Crop Bulletin a series of charts show
ing for the country east of the
Rocky Mountains the southwark pro
gresslon OF the earliest killing-frost
date line and the total area covered
by killing frost to the date of each
issue. These charts are expected to
be Of much interest and value, as
they will indicate the time of the
ending Of the growing season for
summer crops this year in the yari-
Gus sections of the country. Much loss
occasionally comes from early frosts,
and interest is unusually great this
year because of the possibility of
frost damage affecting the food sup
ply. The National Weather and Crop
Bulletin will be published weekly
until October 8, and thereafter
monthly.

WAR GARDENS

American backyard and vacant lot food pro-
ducers are coming into fine harvest. They
have increased the nations wartime food pro-
duction and at the same time lessened the traffic
demand on railways by growing this food near
the kitchen door:
Patriotic gardeners this year cultivated 5,2So-
300 plots, according to figures just made public
oy the National War Garden Commission. We
aoed in 1,735,000 more gardens this summer
than we did last year. A combination OF pat
rotic call and the high cost of living did it.
The value of the garden product, estimates
the commission, will be S525,000000.
There were more gardens this year, and the
average yield was better. More of us are learn
ing how to grow things in our backwards and on
nearby vacant lots Let keep right on learn
ing more about gardening. There's health and
money in it.
Those who did not have of those 52S5,000
war gardens missed much But they still have
time to plant winter garden.
More food in 1919-and as the kitchen
door as it is possible to grow it. That's fine
wartime slogan.

HONOR OUR ALLIES

Our fighting men have borne so splendid
part in France that it would be an infinite pity
to dim their glory by acts or words of ours
Says the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch
They will not boast of Americas winning the
war, because by the time the war is over they
will have seen enough of the French, the British.
the Italians, the Begians and all the rest to know
what their heroism and accomplishment have
been. If there is any danger of boasting, it is
from us at home. More than once speakers and
writer's have deprecated to exalt our own men by
minimizing our co-belligerents
Vice-Admiral Sims voiced a warning in an adj
dress to our soldiers and sailors in London few
days ago, when he spoke of what they had done
and are doing but concluded with, "But don't YOU
chaps get to sticking out your chests and going
around thinking America is doing it all p That
was timely, certainly as to us at home, and mod
crate enough when it is remembered what he
might have said 1t is true that the whole world
looks to America to make ultimate and decisive
victory possible and it my be, as has been more
than limited that the fresh vigor of our men
already overseas has inspired the veterans of the
entente with new fire.
But for three terrible years we took no part in
the conflict while little Belgium checked the rush
and France held it until Great Britain could mob
llize and equip her armies. And throughout
these three terrible years and longer there is
little reason to doubt that we ourselves were in
large measure protected from attack by the
British navy. So, no matter how overwhelming
our military power may be within the next year,
it would be objectionable in us if we ever let our
selves think in the end that we had done it all.

PREVENTING INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS

By educating workmen, industrial accidents
can be largely prevented, according toe. w.
Price, field secretary of the National Safety
Council. Speaking before an audience in Seattle,
Wash. recently, Mr.Prce said:
Education of the workingman has prevented
about SO per cent of the accidents usual in certain
plants. About one-third can be controlled by
mechanical provisions. The manager and super
intendent of plant must believe thoroughly in
the safety-irst movement; foremen also must
uphold it."
1t was pointed out that in every plant there
should be a man who studied safety methods and
had power to apply them. Mr.. Price declared
also that every plant should tell by word and pic
ture on bulletin board all minor accidents and
that a committee of workingmen should be ap-
pointed to investigate and report on all accidents

roo VALUABLE AN ASSET TO LOSE


In coming readily and intellectually to the
aid of the G.. F. & A. railroad, the Chamber OF
Commerce has again demonstrated the import
ant place which it occupies in the commercial
life of Pensacola.
The G. F. & A. is vital to the development OF
this city For it to suspend would be public
calamity too great to be comprehended. Cen
eral Manager Frazier states frankly that the pre-
sent volume of business going to the road is not
sufficient to permit of paying wages attractive
to good men or equal to those paid by railroads
under federal control.
The G. F. & A. has had many obstacles to con-
tend with and has never been in position to bring
to Pensacola the great volume of business that
was expected of it. But, as it stands today, it IS
possessed of potential possibilities for aiding
future growth.
It is unfortunate that the road was not in
cluded in the system taken over by the govern
ment and more unfortunate that since federal
control was inaugerated it has not had it's full
share of the freight movement to this section.
The Chamber of Commerce is to be commend
ed upon its action in urging the Florida senators
and the railroad administration to aid the G. F.
& A. 1t is to be hoped that they will respond.
But even though relief through Washington
should be slow, or entirely denied, the merchants
of Pensacola may do much toward improving the
present threatening situation. If every local
business house, will far as practical, request
its freight be shipped over the G. F. & A. the in
creased volume of business will help greatly to-
ward making continuous operation of the road
possible until the export freight for which it's
great terminals were constructed is available.
Pensacola has not done its full part toward the
G. F. & A. 1t has not given the road the support
to which it is entitled The Chamber of Com
merce has awakened the business people to their
duty and it is to be hoped that the response will
J be liberal.
Pensacola cannot afford to let so valuable an
asset as the G. F. & A. railroad go by default

LESSONS IN sELF-GOvERNMENT

War is teaching people to understand
themselves. 1t is developing numerous practical
demonstrations of democratic self-government.
Most of the food-saving was brought about by
appeals to the people to govern themselves.
Meatless and wheatless days and sugar econ
omy were enforced by voluntary self-restraint.
All Hoover had to do was to make plain what
was necessary for the people to do-and they did
it.
The latest demonstration of self-government
was the appeal of the fuel administration for gas
oline saving by the owners of gas-driven vehicles
Car owners responded with a readiness which
was far beyond expectations and showed again
that the American people are willing to accept
any restriction that will aid in winning the war
Such experiences in democracy are helpful
to our future as well as to the needs of the
present.

SCARE MENCANS OUT
Hun Propagandists at Work on
the Border.
Try to Prevent MexIcans CROSSING
Over to Accept Employment In
United States,

Laredo, Texas.-German propagan.
dists in northern Mexico and along
the border are actively engaged In in
shilling fright into Mexicans with a
view to preventing their crossing to
the American side and accepting en-
ployment as laborers on farms, rail-
roads, etc. One canard that has been
given considerable publicity by the
propagandists is that the Americans
are contemplating drafting all Mexi-
can men between the ages Of eighteen
and forty-fve into the army, while all
Mexican women will also be forced in
to service and "taken to France. where
they will be used as washerwomen for
the American soldiers and the allies
generally"
These kind Of reports have reached
the. American consular service on the
border and they are exerting their ut
most efforts to set the Mexicans right
by assuring them that none but Ameri-
can citizens will be subject to the Sc
lective draft, while, as for women.
there Is absolutely no foundation for
the report that they will be conscripted
and used as ~washerwomen in France,
there are any number Of women al
ready In France and none others are
needed "f0r washerwomen."
Now that the new draft is In effect
1t is expected that the German propa-
gandists will be manufacturing all
kinds Of deliberate falsehoods to
thwart the efforts Of the Americans to
secure laborers from Mexico to do az.
r%icultural and other work in this coun-
try.
