DON'T LOSE WHAT you GAINED.

What OF the gardens this year? Are
we to lose all We gained last year and
the year before? In plain talk are you
going TO make garden as you did when
the war necessity made a garden pa
triotic responsibility
The garden made good money for
you last year. 1t brought food into
the house that otherwise would have
been carried in at a high price. It
saved money. 1t also made better
living Vegetables from the home
ga rden with the scent OF the fresh
earth on them are not TO be compared
with "boughren" vegetables. Stepping
on from the home kitchen and the
home treasury 10 the national food
supply and the national treasury the
gardens Of the United States last year
were worth millions upon millions OF
dollars
There's real thrift in q garden. Most
of US never know how much a good
garden saves, There's health in a
good garden we'll cultivated There's
comfort in 1t and satisfaction that
isn't to be had otherwise. Down in
the depths of lis all we feel a fine
qualification over raising something
from the ground We feel that we have
produced something vital TO ourselves
and to all people AID instinct exists
in all of us TO gather our own food.
There's pride in a good garden. Men
Dragged last year OF their gardens.
There's distinction in a good garden.
Everyone notices it and everyone COW
cts it and envies its possessor There's
beauty in a good garden. the beauty
OF growth and OF usefulness II
appeals to the eye and satisfies the
mind. a good garden is a miracle and
good gardener a miracle maker.
This year Il is not unlikely that
many who made garden under the
pressure Of the event of war will dodge
the responsibility as having passed

The Y. vi. c. A. Abroad


An article presented at the Satur-
day Afternoon Club in the discus
sion of current topics and printed by
request.
Edwin James, war correspondent,
in q letter to the n. Y Times, in Jan.
offers three causes for the storm of
criticism which has recently swept
over the U. S. of the work of the Y.
M. C. A in France. First, ''mis-
management Of canteen SERVICE" Sc
cond, ''the unftness of some of the
Y workers." and third, "overmuch
care for the moral welfare of the
American doughboy."
These criticisms have been taken
up and ably answered by Mr.. John
De Mott, head of the International
Y. M. C. A, and Mr.. Perkins, fnan-
cial chairman of the organization.
In the summer of 1917, the Y. NJ.
G. A. was asked TO assume charge of
the canteen service Of the A. E. F.,
which after several consultations
with Gen. Pershing and his staff, they
Bulletin No. SO, covering this service,
directed that all canteen supplies
were to be sold at the supply cen
tiers for cost, plus cost of transporta-
ton, with a slight margin to cover
losses in transit. Ignorance of this
standing military order is the reason
why the dOughboy has so often been
unable to understand why the dough
boy has so often been unable to I'M
derstand why he should pay for sup
plies at a Y canteen, when he has
read of millions given to the Y, by
'the folks back home Unfortun-
ately, the first ship-load of supplies
was torpedoed off the French coast,
and the demands of the men for lit
tie home comforts were met by pur-
chasing supplies wherever procurable
and at retail prices. Though dispen-
sed at absolutely cost, their prices
seemed exceeding high to the boys re-
Gently used to home prices, and the
quartermaster closing out his stock
at the same time at government
prices, gave prompt rise to the charge
of 'profiteering' a charge easily dis
proved when the strictness of army
reports is considered. Another source
of misunderstanding was the use of
French money, since the franc looks
much like our quarter, though equal
to about 171a cents, it was expect
ed to have equal purchasing power
and when used in Y canteen to
purchase articles recently purchased
at home for ten cents, the small
amount of change received was a
fruitfully source of dissatisfaction.
The free distribution, at various as
signed points, of supplies by other
agencies, as the Salvation Army and
the Knights of Columbus, added to
the feeling that the boys were being
grated by the 7, when, as a fact,
the Y. canteens were subject to army
regulations which must be obeyed.
The large number of Y huts and their
equipment, all of which is free to the
soldier save the canteen supplies, has
