AS a result of the campaign fir in
creased food production, one Indiana
town of less than 5000 people had
1884 gardens last season. In eight
towns of another Indiana county SO
per cent of all vacant lots were I'M
der cultivation. In three townships IN
still another county. where special eff
fort was made to increase food pro-
duction, it was estimated that ten
times the average amount OF garden
crops was produced. Gamers for
canning fruit and vegetables were
placed in each consolidated school in
one county, and were loaned TO com
munities which desired to use them.

new DRAFT BILL
PASSES SENATE
All Who Have Passed Age
Of Il Are Subject
To Call.

Washington. March 29.-The re-
solution extending the salective draft
to men reaching the age OF p years
since June ;, 1917-the first regis
tration day-was passed tonight by
the Senate without a record vote,
after a futile attempt had been made
to add to it provision for training
youths from 10 to q years old.
1t is estimated that about 100000
men will be added to the registra-
ton this year by the resolution.
which is one of the pieces of legis-
lation on which the War Depart
ment is waiting before announcing
complete plans for the next draft. 1t
now goes to the House for consider
alton there with the bill to base
draft quotes on the number of reg
istants in Glass l instead of on pop
ulation, another of the Administra-
ton measures already passed by the
Senate.
The proposal 10 require training
of boys over 10 and under registra-
ton age was in the form of an
amendment by Senator New, of Indi-
ana, which the Senate rejected, SO
to 26, after a debate of several days.
A number of Senators who favor
,.,s.y nI Of 20
peace-time policy voted against the
amendment.
Those Subject To Draft.
AS adopted, the resolution pro-
vides that all male citizens of the
United States residing in this coun-
try attaining their majority since
June 8 last, shall be subject to reg
istration, under regulations pre-
scribed by the President; shall pre-
sent themselves for registration on
day proclaimed by the President,
and thereafter shall be lible to mil
itary service.
There was no opposition to the
resolution itself, the only controyer-
sy beong over the New amendment.
Opponents of the plan argued that
training the youths would hamper ur-
gent army enterprises and take the
labor from farms and factories,
without providing soldiers for i'm
mediate needs at the front. Strong
sentiment for universal compulsory
military training was apparent, how
ever, and to-day's vote was not re-
garded as foreshadowing future &C
ton on Senator Chamberlain uni

Consultation and Indigestion.

These are twin evils. Persons suf-
fering from indigestion are often
troubled with constipation. Mrs.
Robert Allison, Nation, Ill.,writes
that when she first moved to Mattoon
she was a great sufferer from indi-
gestion and constipation. Food dis
tressed her and there was feeling
like a heavy weight pressing on her
stomach and chest. She DID not rest
we'll at night, and felt worn out a
good part of the time. One bottle of
Chamberlain Tablets corrected this
trouble so that she has felt like a
different person. m

To BUILD TWO MILES
MORE OF SEA WALL
Galveston To Be Protected
From Future lnun-
dation.

Galveston, Tex, March 30.-Con-
tinuing the original plan of making
the city more secure from tropical
hurricanes, Galveston has begun
nearly two miles more of sea wall
around the southwest front. The
work, which was started n few days
ago, will cost approximately $4,000
600 and will require nearly two years
to complete.
When the tropical storm of 1900
had abated and Galveston had buried
at sea thousands of citizens drowned
or killed in the storm, leading men
of the city met and determined to i'm.
prove on the work Of nature by rails
ing the site of Galveston and thus
shutting ont the waters of the Gulf
of Mexico.
The aid of the Federal Govern
ment was sought and the Texas Leg
islature agreed to remit State and
county taxes pending the building
of the monster rock and concrete bar
rier along the south front of the sea-
port. This original wall is four miles
in length and is bordered by brick
driveway its entire length. ThOus-
ands of tons of Texas granite aud CO.
ment were used in its construction
and it was not completed until 1905
Before the wall had been complet-
ed practically the entire city had been
elevated seventeen and one-half feet
the height of the barrier. This was
done by raising the buildings and
then pumping MILLIONS of tons of sand
inland from the gulf. The slope Of
land from the gulf. The slope Of
the city was made toward Galveston
Bay on the north. The grade oper-
ations. including individual expense
cost approximately 100000.
Previous to 1911 wooden treslies
formed the only connections between
the island and the mainland-a dis
lance Of more than three miles. lv
that year the causcway, built of steel
and concrete was completed. It r",
only carries the railroad tracks OF the
several lines entering Galveston but
interban tracks and a public road
way as well. It was CONSTRUCTED
Jointly by Galveston county and the
transportation line using it. In the
center is draw permitting the pas
age OF all vessels. The storm of 1918
severely damaged the causeway and
for several months it was impossible.
Some months ago, however, repairs
on it were begun and it is expected
that they will be completed before
summer.
For the extension of the seawall
the Federal Government has appro-
priated S1,191,OOO and Galveston
county S565,OO0. 1t will be 10000
feet in length from the point where
it attaches to the old original wall be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets, to
where it ends in the heart of the
Fort Jacinto reservation. 1t
will protect approximately a thousand
acres of Government property and
about half that amount in Galveston
county.
Included in the original shipment
of material with which to start the
work were 5000 piles and 100000
feet of lumber along with several
trainloads of rock and cement. Sew
eral thousand men will be employed
in carrying out the undertaking

''Made In Germany"
By Edgar A. Guest

In the days of peace for the world Of
trade.
They stamped their mark on the goods
they made;
But never again will they flaunt their
name.
For they have made it badge OF
shame.
They've stripped it bare of its outward
pride
And shown the greed and the lust in
side
And men will shudder whene'er they
see
Helrs label read. Made in Germany"
Before their eyes, dead men viii
float
who were left to die in an open boat.
To the end of time, viii pictures rise
OF demons high in the summer skies
Seeking the haunts where the wounded
lie.
To murder them as they hurry by.
Nor all their skill nor their art viii
The captive boy that they have cruel
fled
A little child with his right hand gone.
VIII live when the years have travelled
on
AS the sign of the German heart and
schools,
with the crimson blood Of the babes in
pools,
And the innocent dead. with their
faces fair,
Bombed by the towards high in air,
VIII rise long after the war shall
cease
To shame the Hun in the years Of
peace.
Made in Germany! men viii start
AS they see that badge of the German
heart.
On whatever that stamp of shame is
seen,
There win be the curse of a thing
un6lean.
They have fouled, with sin. what was
once their pride.
And they shall live by the world de-
MED
For wherever that mark through the
years is met
There will rise scenes that men can't
forget
