F. & C. C. Cars
Going to Cuba

sixty-four narrow eakkk gondola
cars. formerly used on the old Flor
ence & Cripple Greek railroad in the
Cripple Greek district. have been tax
en- apart and shipped to Cuba to help
the island republic solve the transpor-
tation problem. which is quite as acute
there as it is in this country. Cuba
is at war with Germany. having de-
clared hostilities on the Central en-
pires soon after the United States
entered the ranks of the belligerents
and the administration at Washing
ton is helping the Cubans in every
possible way. Other equipment of the
F. & C. c. road is being shipped out
of the Cripple Greek district to vari-
GUS points in the southwest. where il
is needed. Most of the cars of the
company that were marooned in the
Canon City yards when the track in
Phantom canon was washed out five or
six years ago. are nov doing duty in
Washington or Oregon.

GARDENS AROUND BIG GUNS
French ArtiIierists Find Time TO cui.

harding che Enemy.

For upward Of 2.00c years. an
hereditary fraternity Of gardeners
has cultivated islets IN inarshy dis-
trict near Amiens. France. drained
by tiny rivulets which converge ID
branches of the now worl1-famous
River Somme. according TO an article
by G. J. B. BrandetIi. fellow Of the
Royal biographical society. in the
Wide World Magazine.
This ancient guild. he writes. is
mentioned in records of the first
steps for the constructors of the ia
nous Gothic cathedral n, Ainirns in
1920. The Hortillon- ~ it, mem
hers sre called. till tie rich land
reclaimed from the marshes in much
the same way that they did then.
The islets raise lccks. carrots. sweet
peas or onions, and the gardeners
reach them IN picturesque canoes.
The produce is floatcd down the
Somme river to the .tmicns market.
Since the war nearly all the able
bodied men have been called To the
colors and the work is carried on by
the women. So inherent is the love
OF gardening in these island culti-
yators, that some Of them who are
attached to a battery Of heavy ar
tillery. find time TO grow vegetables
in the intervals Of bombardmcnt.
They sell their produce AT good
prices to the officers messes.

Is Your Seed Good?

The Agriculture class at the
High School has been doing some
practical work in seed testing
the past week
Seed testing is doubly neces.
sary this year from the fact of
its scarcity, high price, and i'm
maturlty-especially some of the
kafr.
It's patriotic duty to test
your seed before planting this
spring-or to have it tested.
Count out so or 100 seeds from
that which you expect to plant.
Place between blotters on a plate
moisten and keep covered and in
a warm place for from four to
seven days, or if you will send
or bring your samples to the
High School, we will be glad to
make the test for you.

In Gray county the idea of a
Red Cross farm is advocated.
Any farmer who has land he
does not intend to cultivate, will
donate its use. Others who are
in position to do so will donate
the farm and harvest work. The
proceeds from whatever is raised
will go to the Red Cross. The
idea IS a good one and should
meet with success and would be
a good idea for other counties to
copy Meade for instance.
