CATION. 1t will not withstand as much
frost as cabbage, but is very sensitive
to hot weather. To make a success of
the crop it is best to plant it about
the time of the last killing frost In
spring, using plants grown In the hot
bed or window box. This gives it time
TO mature before hot weather comes.
The rows need not be more than 21a
to 8 feet apart for horse cultivation,
or "A to 30 inches apart for hand work
The plants should be from II to IS
inches apart in rows. The culture is
the same as for cabbage until the
heads begin to develop, after which
the leaves may be tied together over
the heads to exclude the light and
keep heads white.
This crop is one of the aristocrats
of the garden. If you succeed in grow
ing high-grade caulif1ower you will
qualify as q good gardener-U. S. De-

DIVISION CITED FOUR TIMES.
Pvt. VIM. Given Writes Home of Experi
ences on Four French Fronts.

Pvt William Given of the 18th ambu-
lance corps, 9Th division, devoted fathers
day to writing home and the following
letter to his father, James Given of
Richardson street, is descriptive of his
trip across the ocean. Pvt Given was
at the front in the Vosges, in St. Mihiel,
north of Verdun in the Argonne, and
his division was closing in on the Ger
mans when the fighting stopped. At the
time of writing part of his division was
waiting for orders to move toward Ger
many, where the biggest part had al
ready gone. The letter was written Nov.

American destroyers met us and escorted
us into Liverpool, England. We were

met us at the boat and played as we
marched off We marched through Liv-

played as we marched to the train We
went from there to Romsey, England,
where we stayed in British rest camp

Southampton.

France. After we were all on. and ready

I'VE went into action again on the
18th of October, north of Verdun in the
Argonne. We were in until the goth.
That place sure was hell
after being in reserve for six days,
which was almost as bad as being at the
front, as we were shelled in the daytime
and bombed by planes at night, they
sent us in again and we were in until
the end
When the armistioe was signed, our di-
vision was five kilometers ahead of
troops on our right and two kilometers
ahead Of troops on our left. So you see
we were chasing the Germans at a good
rate. Our division was the first troops
to cross the Mouse river, putting up
bridges and forcing the boche back, and
forming bridgehead at Dun-sur Meuse.
"Our division has been cited four
times, the last time for its work in the
last big push One of the citations read
that any man should be proud to belong
to such division as that, No division
could have done better.

The biggest part of our division is on its

the papers that our division was picked

TO the states, but we consider it great
honor TO be picked for that army which
