FIGHT ON DRAFT
AGES LAUNCHED
AT WASHINGTON
Republicans Lead in Charge
of Move to Unhorse the
Mckenzie Rider

Washington, Aug. 23.-The new
manpower bill, extending the draft
age limits to eighteen and forty-five
years. was taken up simultaneously
in both the Senate and House of
Representatives yesterday afternoon
in an effort to finally pass it by the
end of the week.
While the debate yesterday was
confined to the bill as a whole, the
fight was launched in both houses
over drafting men below twenty
years of age and over the antistrike
amendment designed to prevent the
use of industrial exemption as a
means of evading the draft.
The draft obstructionists in the
House, led by Representative Dent,
or Alabama, chairman of the House
committee on military affairs, and
Representative Mckenzie. of Illinois,
author of the amendment directing
the President to call all of the regis
trants between twenty and forty-fve
years of age before any men are
called below twenty years of age,
confined their efforts to-day to senti-
meAtal arguments against what they
termed "robbing the cradle"
In tho Senate Senator Kirby, of
Arkansas, led a fight against fixing
the age limit below twenty-one years,
while Senators Reed. Wadsworth,
Chamberlain and New discussed at
length the antistrike amendment,
the abolition of all volunteering and
other phases of the measure.
Baker Insists OH IS and 10
Secretary Baker. commenting on
the Mckenzie amendment, said:
According to General Crowder's
figures, 1t will not be possible to
have eighty divisions abroad by July
without using the eighteen and
nineteen year old men,"

CHOOSE GARDEN LOTS
WITH MUCH CARE

Many backyard gardens were dis
appointments last year because they
were planted under conditions that
made success impossible, even with
best Of cultural methods. 1t is a
waste Of time and energy, which might
well be spent in some more profitable
endeavor, to try to grow garden plants
unless there is a fair chance to sue
coed The following suggestions for
The selection Of the garden spot offered
by .he Extension Service Of the Uni
versity Of Vermont and State Agri-
cultural College are timely
/. The soil, first of all, should be
workable. Soils filled with cinders,
briekbats, coal ashes, tin cans, etc,
should either be cleared of this rub
bish or not planted. Filled or graded
areas generally are not of good garden
soil.
2. The drainage must be good II
water does not run off the plot readily
during heavy rain or standing water
cannot be removed from it easily
through surface drainage, it is not
suitable for garden.
3. When the spot proposed for the
garden does not receive sunlight for
a fair portion Of the day, it is useless
to attic mpt to grow vegetables.
4. Where poultry is kept is no place
for a garden unless one or the other
is well fenced.
Give the children fair chance. Do
not invite disaster at the outset by an
unwise choice Of garden area. When
the garden can be worked by members
Of the household during their recrea-
ton hours or with little extra effort
above their normal occupation, no bet
ter outlet for patriotic service for ev-
cry member of the family can be
found. Children will take a great
deal of interest if a portion of the
garden is allotted to them and each
one Il given his or her own part to
work. Their produce may be pur-
chased by the parents and the pro
ceeds used by the children to purchase
Thrift Stamps. Garden thrift and
stamp thrift should make a good
couple
f. Clifford Shaw, County Agent for
Bennington County, will soon have
several bulletins dealing with the
home garden which he will be glad to
furnish without charge upon request.
