LIEUT.. BRAGG HAS
BEST WAR GARDEN
SEEN in AMERICUS

Lieut.. John Bragg has what is gen
orally pronounced to be the finest war
garden" in Americus.
II there is anything that grows that
he hasn't planted, it will take an ex-
pert to fnd it.
But the most impressive feature of
his garden, which fronts on Harold
street, just below Furlow. is the neat
ness apd the excellence Of its atten-
tioD. He has nearly an acre planted,
and he has everything so arranged that
for the rext four or five months he
will nave a crop of some vegetable. In
particular he has planted corn and to-
matoe5, and when they mature he will
have sufficient to supply many fami-
lies
:.ieut Bragg has been eating out of
his aarder for six weeks or more, hav-
ina irish potatoes. snap beans. squash,
English peas and other early matur-
mc -arieties. He works in his garden
carly in the morning and late at night,
and the result Of his efforts is the best
garden in the city. according to the
verdict of all who have inspected it.

ARMY BARRACKS
FOR NURSERIES
One Of Them Houses More
Than 800 Children
Under Ten.

Within sound of the deep throated
guns of the French firing line, guns
that are ceaselessly telling the Ger
mans "thou shalt not pass" live hun
dreds of happy, healthy children.
At the beginning Of the war the
buildings in which these Riddles now
live and play and study were barracks
for French boys training to be SOL
diers. Today these boys-those who
are left Of them-are veterans. These
barracks are good modern buildings,
and they are set amid beautiful seem
cry. There are several of these groups
of barracks scattered throughout
France, and all of them have been
turned into homes for the nations
homeless children.
At one of the ,barrack-nurseries
there are more than 800 children.
Some are babies of a few days old,
and the oldest is not over ten years.
Most of these children are orphans.
Some few Of them have mothers who
are working in fields and factories to
help France win the war.
And these little folks are receiving
the first intelligent care of their lives.
Skilled American doctors are in
charge of the kitchens, and expert
enced teachers are instructing those
old enough to attend the barrack-
school. The older girls and boys are
being taught useful trades as well as
the usual classroom lessons, and with
1t all these children are learning the
Joy in healthy play.
France laid upon us a sacred service
IN this care of its children. And how
noble has been the response Of our
American Red Cross!
