Tale Of Two Shirts.

Thing After Another.

back from the laundry last week

We're missing. Maybe tie major

nothing till toward the end of the
week, when the deficiencies of his
wardrobe began to be painfully APP

The maid was quite sure She
had sent the shirts out with the
wash. Sister called up the-laun-
dry. They would look it up. Again
she called and got a report %

hot all forenoon and finally was as
sured that a man would be sent in
day or two to straightei- out the
tangle
In the afternoon grandmother
came on the scene and me maid
explained the predicament private
~ to her. While sis was out grand
mother got busy on the wire. Rec
ords compiled at the Laundry show
she bombarded the establishment
all afternoon, scoring seven direct
hits
Next morning the major reported
the situation serious and hourly
growing more grave. Being a busy
man he had no time to go shop
ping at that particular time and
being a bachelor and strong for
discipline he had no intention of
abandoning the prerogative of buy
ing his own clothes that he had

the offensive during the afternoon
and wrought great havoc with the

sis and grandmother get together

discovered that jointly ana sever

New Army Modifying.

The United States school garden army is begin
ming to mobilize.
The whole plan has been carefully worked out
and SO far there hasn't been a single hitch in the
program.
The secretary of the interior through the bureau
Of education is calling upon state and county super
fntendens OF schools and also upon the governors Of
the different states the mayors of the different cities
and school superntendents cities towns. villages
and suburban committees. and asking everyone of
these people to fall in line and get to work in the
greatest practical volunteer campaign that has been
started since the began.
The Germans organized their garden army years
ago and just because they did that very thing they
have been able to laugh at the of the world for
long
For back of every bullet and behind every shell
and under and every cloud poisonous gas and
running every submarine and directing every aero
plane is man who must keep up his energies with
food.
We might well send men to the trenches
to face cannons and airships and poison gas and
plosives dressed in suit of pajamas with nothing
but their bare hands for weapons as to send
army overseas without enough provisions to keep
them not only alive but in fighting trim when they
get there.
Where are we going to get the food to send them?
We have just one storehouse from which to draw
and that storehouse is in the fertile fields and the
rich harvests of our own country.
Our troops abroad need -four and sugar and cof-
fee and tea and corn and meat-we must send them
these things be ready to our heads under the
German heel.
There is blinking at the fact a minute
longer; the whole thing comes right down to the
question of bread and meat, and enough of it.
If We send all that we raise abroad what shall we
do here at home?
This is the time to begin to consider these things
We have been blind and dull of wit, and deaf and
Indifferent long enough
From end of this country to the other the peo-
pie beginning to realize what this question of
food means No wonder that the United States school
garden army idea has taken such a splendid hold
not only in the imagination but of the stern prac-
teal faculties Of this whole country
Five million school children modified into an
army with officers and privates and sergeants-with
drill and hard work and great rewards and splendid
service
What child is there the face of the globe who
would not be proud and eager to be one of such an
army?
You will be interested some day when that boy
of yours home with chevron on his sleeve or
your girl is made first sergeant and wears badge
which tells the world that she is ready to do her bit
for her country and her country's flag.
Why not interest yourself personally in this mat
ter today?
Why not make this a part Of your duty to Uncle
