HOME GARDENING.

Home gardening is an important
way to help win this war. Our
allies are in great need of food and
besides our pledge to them should
encourage u.s.. BY having a home
garden we can first save food be-
cause we receive the vegetables
fresh and there is no waste in ship.
ping. Second, we can save money
because If we produce our own
food we do not have to pay the
transportation or the grocer's pro-
Ats. Third, we can save -transpar-
tation and leave the railroads free
for the removal of. our troops and
their supplies. If we save food,
money, ard transportation it will
make our nation and ourselves
richer. which will enable us to buy
Liberty Loan bonds and Thrift
Stamps. @ g
Nearly every child in the United
States can have a garden.
The only things that are neces,
sary are q lot, which is protected
from the wind and receives sun
light. a. few garden tools, and good
seed. ~.
The garden should be ploughed
very deep SO that the plant roots
during drought can secure mois-
lure from the inner surface of the
earth. The garden should be fer
silized if the soil is sour Bone
meal is very good, SCOT is also good
for early maturing plants. If you
can prepare part of your garden
you should plough all the dead
vegetables under in the fall and let
the soil rest the next summer.
Seeds should be carefully select
ed. Do not be like the foolish gar
dener who waits until the song
birds tell him that spring time is
here and .rushes through his old
catalogues to find what seed he
wants. He then sends q hurry up
order to the seed man who in re-
turn will send old seed But go
your self and select your seed. The
best way that new seed can be dis
tiuguished from old seed Is that
old seeds generally have a dull and
weinkied surface, while new seed
has a bright and smooth surface
The importance in good judgment
is that old seed does not terminate
as well as new. This Is only waste
OF time. energy and money
There have been many disputes
over the question whether the
rows should run from west to east
or from the north to the south. 1t

receives. The most advisable way
for the home garden is to plant the
seed in rows from north to the
south because the vegetables gen.
orally found in home. garden re.
quire their amount of light to fall

A good plan for successional
planting is to plant late corn after
lettuce and radishes, lettuce and en-
dive after beans, Care must be
taken that tive vegetables of the

EIGHT INVENTIONS
OF THIS WAR

The tanks were one OF the great,
est inventions of this war. They
were invented by, the British a lit,
tie after the beginning of this great
struggle. Machine gun and rife
fire have NO effect upon their steel
sheM. The artillery is the only
thing that is deadly to tanks. but
1t is SO far behind the lines that
they take no effect.
Another Invention is the gas" y.
This gas is brought into the trench
es by gas shells. Gas Is unlawful
to use, but the Germans do not
think SO. The French have invent
ed Gas Masks" which throw: on
the gas. The gas would net have
any effect upon them II they ceHid;
wear their masks, but they can't
keep them on bat twelve hours.
The latest triumph Of this war is,
the IT'S" Mile gun. 1t is a puzzle,
how the shell can travel Is mites,
II either is an aerial torpedo or.
else the shell refires tive or three
times. This gun was found to de
situated behind the German 4iAes,'
1t has also been reported that the,
barrel is sixty feet Icing
Another. successful iAyention is,
the wire enSaRglemeats. The wire,
entanglements are used by the.
French. English and Americans to
mitigate German attacks.
The Italians have proved to be
the air kings of this war. They,
have invented q dirigible which has
three meters and carries twenty.
people.
Depth bombs are Inventions OF
the Americans. These are the
worst enemy che Submarine has.
The allies found that they could
not wear soldiers hats. They IN
vented q steel helmet to protect
their heads from -buhets.
The latest invention is the ship

The Great Stone Face

In the White Mountains Of Mass
achusetts there was massive face
which extended out over valley
This was known as the Great Stone
Face.
A boy and his mother sat on their
doorstep looking at the Stone Face.
The boys mother was telling him
of the prophecy that had been fore
told that some time there would
be a person come to the valley who
would resemble the Face.
Years passed and Ernest, the
boy, became a man still hoping to
see the man who would fill the
prophecy
Mr.. Gathergold, who was a ma
tive of the valley, had gone away
years ago and had become rich. AS
he was growing old he decided to
return home to his native town.
The people thought he looked like
the Stone Face, but Ernest did not
think so and was disappointed.
Soon the people forgot Mr.. Gath
ergold. "A different person APP
peared by the name of Old Blood
and Thunder, because he had been
in the war The people decided 20
give a public dinner for him.
As before, the people thought
Old Blood and Thunder resembled
the Stone Face, but Ernest was dis;
appointed again.
The people forgot him also, for
there was soon to come another,
named Old Stony Phiz. who had a
tongue which was his only power.
He thought he would like to shake
hands with the people of the valley.
because he was to be elected as
president and this might help him.
Ernest was again disappointed,
but the Stone Face cheered him,
for It seemed to say, Fear not,
Ernest, he will come"
Many years came and went and
Ernest became old. His hair had
turned little gray. but as he grew
older, the more wiser he became.
He was known afar and men would
come to talk to and consult him.
One evening a man got OF of the
train and walked to the house
where Ernest lived. He found Err
nest with book in his hand which
looked as if he had just finished 1t.
The stranger asked Ernest it he
might stay there for the night, and
Ernest welcomed him warmly for
he was always generous and hos
pitable.
That evening Ernest went to
preach to the people as usual and
took the stranger who was poet
with him.
When Ernest had talked to the
people for a while, the poet could
not keep quiet and shouted. "Ern-
est resembles the Stone Face. and
the people realized he did and took
up the shouting. .,.---~r-.,.
Ernest took the poets arm and
/ silently walked home wishing that
some one would come, who was
better than he and would also re-
semble the Great Stone Face. Dor

SWEARING AND CURSING

Some one has said that there are
contingencies in life that nothing but
well-selected crossword seems to
meet, and almost every man has felt
the need, at some time or another, OF
form of expletive that polite English
does not provide.
There is the case Of the bishop, for
example, very much badgered and
harassed by balky horse, which re-
fused 70 nudge and thereupon delayed
the consecrated prelate in his progress
toward a confirmation. The driver
had exhausted every resource, then
gave vent to his feelings horse man
style, by damning the beasts eyes and
other attributes in hearty and ford
piece Of rhetoric that would have done
credit to a Missouri mule-skinner.
The bishop merely said: THANK
you, my man. The occasion had been
met.
There is, Of course, the other legend
Of the vicar Who rebuked his gardener
for using fervid and superheated Ian
guage and the man answered back"
by saying that he believed in calling
a spade spade

such language degenerates into a
