in back yard gardens. And the product

Many people during the first two sea-
sons only cultivated little patches, M
cause it is always hard to work new LAND.
Now that they have dug over their back
yards, and got the earth to working cas-
lily they should have courage to dig up
some more. Every yard capable of veg
etable raising must be made to do its
duty.
Also gardeners should have learned BY
their previous mistakes. It is a'fairly sim
pie thing to raise vegetable. if you buy
good fertilizer and seed and keep the
weeds out. With everyone raising good
sized garden, vegetable prices should Ske

Meat prices of course, cannot be con

a wonderful source of independents.

that it is the best branch of the

Sept. IL, was a great day with
the soldiers and sailors of this
place. 1t was known with us as
New Orleans War Camp Com.
munity Day." Men from diff.
ferent camps assembled at Canal
and Claiborne Avenue, where
the parade was formed at 1000
a. m. We proceeded on lower
side of Canal to Tchoupitoulas
street; thence on upper side OF
Canal to st. Charles street;
thence to Lafayette square.
Here commands were given, and
we stacked arms to receive g
short address from the mayor Of
the city. Following this. there
was a few minutes singing by
the soldiers and sailors. This
was the largest military exhibi.
ton parade ever seen in New
Orleans. The prettiest and
most impressive sight of the
parade was the Red Cross nur.

ing the flag which bore the stars

here and say that the Red Cross
is one of the greatest organiza.
tions in the world. If it were
not for the Red Cross there
would be many a homesick and
discouraged boy. 1t is a mother

the singing we were dismissed,
and each soldier ard sailor was
invited to lunch at the Washing
