1918 farm and garden operations de-
ponds prosperity or our "going broke"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food.

acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. It
will save you more money than you
made on the best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!

SECRETARY BAKER IN FRANCE.
News OF HIS safe Arrival Reached

WASHINGTON, Sept. Secretary
Baker has arrived in France OH his see
ond visit to the battle front. Instead
of going on cruiser this time, Mr..
Baker made the trip on one of the large
transports. carrying its usual quota of
troops and making the trip in quick
time. .
Mr. Baker left Washington on the
morning of August 81 and boarded the
transport the same day. Word that the
transport had arrived safely reached
here late yesterday.
IL had been known here that the
Secretary was en- route on transport,
but the newspapers refrained from
making any mention of it. Mr.. Baker
wanted to observe the experiences of
the men who go ''over there.
IL is regarded as not improbable

Vermont Tavern Stands.

| hope our quaint old Tavern Stands
Will keep right on a-standing,
And grace the state from Bennington
Clear up to Barton Landing;
They represent the former DAYS
When common folks were grand
No sight that Old Vermont displays
Can beat 4 Tavern Stand.
You find 'em on the ancient roads
That now are laundering highways,
Or, victimized by Strengthening
plans,''
They beautify the byways;
Those rcd brick structures, stately,
square,
The mansions of the land
There S really nothing, i declare,
That beats a Tavern Stand.
They rose before the elegance
That marked the Georgian era,
Was lost in queerish gingerbread,
Or concrete stuff that s queerer;
The building boss had worn blouse
Before he took command,
And he could build westinghouse
As well as a Tavern Stand.
They mostly had a wooden ell,
With barns and stables ample,
And just inside a. sample room
| With Medford goods to sample;
The traveller saw no bellhops hop,
He heard no foreign band,
But, just the same, he liked to stop
| Before Tavern Stand.
The landlord, he was always round
To give his guests greeting; $
He spoke their names and shook thei
hands
And made merry greeting;
And then they entered up the walk,
With dahlias on each hand
Oh! | could string mile of talk
About a Tavern Stand.
The broad high chimncys, stretching NJ
| To-day look strong and solid;
The pattern round the entrance doc
| Makes modern doors look squalid;
It's great to sight 'cm as you ride,
| You feel your heart expand,
always raise my cap with pride
Before Tavern Stand.
