Garden Club Notes
BY liza Mitchell, Supervisor.

The following is taken from re
cent number Of the Market Growers
Journal.
Gardening work for children has
had its greatest development durins
the past two or three years. Until that
time the movement was largely in the
experimental stage Many methods
were attempted, and many failures
were encountered. The work is now a
regular part Of the work Of the boys
and girls club department of agricul-
ture. There are state leaders employ
ed in nearly every state Of the union.
The work is being promoted on the
basis of the following motives:
1t educates the child-Through con-
tact with growing plants the child is
brought to an understanding Of ma
ture; its powers of observation are de-
veloped
1t utilizes the leasure hours-The
labor which children put on their gar
dens is performed at times which
otherwise would be wasted hours. The
habit of thrift is thus cultivated.
1t increases the use Of vegetables
Where children's gardens are most
flourishing, 1t has been learned that
the general population increases it's
demands for vegetables.
1t teaches business methods-Gard-
en- club members are required to keep
records Of their work. These records
form part Of the final basis of award
1t promotes healthy spending a
portion OF the time in wholesome work
out of doors many children are improv-
ed in health. The effect on school
work is very marked in some cases.
Frost does not injure vegetables
planted on high ground as quickly as
1t does those planted on low ground.
II you expect your garden to do well
1t must have sunshine. Lettuce, spin
ach, swiss chard and all foliage crops
do not need as much sunshine as do
other plants Two or three hours a
day is sufficient for them, while other
vegetables must have at least five
hours to mature well. Give your to-
matoes, egg plants and peppers the
sunniest place in your garden.

There Seems to be No Haven
of Refuge for Soldiers
With Foot Troubles

Looks like somebody is bound to
take the joy out of life for the flat
footed man, the broken arched man.
who is either in the army or gets
there 1t was thought once that he
was going to have a haven of refuge
in the cavalry. Nothing to do but
ride horseback several hours day.
No long hikes and the like. But woe
unto the flat foot, who thought to live
life of ease on the back of some con-
verified mustang.
Army officers have found out that
men suffer just as seriously with flat
feet and broken arches In the cavalry
as any place else, SO regular army
man said the other day in discussing
foot troubles in the service. The
monkey drill" Of the cavalrymen, the
constant riding and pushing against
the stirrups all help to give the man
with bad feet considerable pain and
trouble At least this is the view be-
ing taken by some of the army men.
The branch Of service which is most
particular to. guard against broken
arches or tendency to these flat feet
is the marine corps. The marines have
been known to stand at attention for

ing at Calais Just as he did at the out
set of the war, but 1t is regarded GER
tain now that he cannot reach the
channel port if that is his objective.
II. the 1914 smash he ran two dagger
points across France, one aimed at
Paris and the other toward the chan
mel.
In this battle, the daggers point at
Amiens and Calais. The over night
news on the battle line gave a tone of
some encouragement from the gallant
defense Of the important points along
the Flanders sector.
The frequent question why have the
allies failed to counter attack" is best
answered by Lloyd-George's recent
speech, military men say. They point
ed out today that though the Versail-
les council saw to a mathematical
nicely what would occur In the Ger
man push. the allies then lacked unit
fed control and dared not do too much
massing of reserves at any one point.
This has been true ever since the
struggle started. The uncertainty as
to the German striking points made
the shifting Of reserve risky ven
ture. And the violence Of his prodigal
human onslaught made it necessary to
use vast force merely to check him.
However, some strategists say that
with Americans, British and Irish
strengthening the reserve, it will still
be possible to make trouble for the
Boche. He has been drawn on and on.
and If the reserve is strengthened
fast enough, the time will come when
a blow can be dealt against him at a
vulnerable point, 1t is believed. This
may be some months off, but in the
meantime the allies and America will
be able to check him before he reaches
vital spots.

FIRE DOES
MUCH DAMAGE
Dwelling Owned by Mias Mills at 1920
Des Moines Street, Badly
Damaged This Morning
by Fire and Water.

The fire department answered a
still alarm at 7:1O this morning from
residence at 1920 Des Moines
street. On arrival. it was found that
the blaze had gained good Roadway
and general alarm was sent in at
once. The department used the large
chemical tank and also ran two lines
of hose before getting 1t under con-
troll.
The damage was confined to the
rear of the dwelling used as kitch-
en-. This part of the house was pref
ty badly burned and was also dam
aged considerably from water. The
damage will amount to between two
and three hundred dollars The
building was covered fully by insur-
ance, but the loss on the household
goods will be total.

KEOKUK ROAD
is THE BEST
Lake Shore Boulevard Between Here
and Montrose Pronounced
Best In Several
States.

The lake shore bouevlard between
keokuk and Montrose was pronounc-
ed the finest stretch of road in the
country, between Flint. Michigan,
and Kansas City. Mo-, recently by a
party of auto drivers, who came
through here with a string Of new
cars. The driveway far surpassed
any traversed in other parts OF the
country on the trip.
Members of the party which made
this trip said that they had travelled
concrete roads and hard roads and
dirt roads of all kinds and descrip-
ton, but that the lake shore drive
was the best of any Of them. The
concrete driveways were inclined to
buckle, they said, at the seams.

Every American woman who has

interested in cablegram received at
the national headquarters OF the
American Red Cross from Major
James H. Perkins. American Red
Cross commissioner to Europe.
1t is as follows:
every American soldier now enter
ing the trenches carries an American
Red Cross comfort kit containing
towel, shirt, writing paper, pencil.
soap, handkerchief, socks. mirror,

can not be stated, but the fact that
every soldier has one means that the
work done by American women Is
big comfort to the soldiers now on
the firing line. This fact should be
a solace to the American women who
have made them as well as to the
soldiers More kits wanted with

More Red Cross Nurses Wanted.
There are today in the United
States over $4,000 registered nurses.
Probably 1000 nurses from our coun-
try are already in service on the
French front. About 5000 are already
enlisted in the work in the camps
and cantonments in our own country.
and approximately 1000 nurses are
assigned with base hospitals awaiting
call.
While on the face OF them, these
figures may seem encouraging, yet it
is imperative that we must have
more nurses, and still more nurses
available for the great work ahead of
us. Many, many young women have
shown true patriotic spirit, as is evil
denced by the fact that statistics
now show an increase of over 20 per
cent in the nurses training schools

turn out full-f1edged nurses. capable

ried on under large canvas tent

of the Barnum & Bailey circus. But
appearances are sometimes deceptive.
Within there is nothing akin to

I must confess that some of the per-
formances that take place there would
do Justice to any circus arena. There
is a serious religious aspect to the
work of the association. Every even
