Hoe as Ereedon1,s Weanon.

.We, the people of the United
States, in gardens assembled might
well be the beginning of a new pre-
amble of American liberty, stating that
the people had decided to fight for
freedom with hoes, proclaiming to the
world the declaration that the welfare,
prosperity and happiness of this ma
ton are to be maintained; that the
freedom of other peoples is to be guar
anteed against oppression" writes
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the
national war garden commission, in
the Peoples Home Journal.
This preamble could state that it
had been decided by ian American
people armed with hoes" that they
would help to raise enough food to win
the war. Every man in the army
would be doing his duty in the trenches
of his own back yard or nearby va
cant lot. The work in these trenches
is just as important as that in the
front battle lines of Europe. 1t will
constitute as vital factor in the final
result.

as planned by the central meteorologi-
cal Office, has been carried out for
portion of the country-the northwest
provinces. Maps of the average rain
fall for so years-1S 51 19Q6--have been
compiled, and comparison has been
made with the records of 16 stations in
France and across the border in adj
jacent countries. The leading rainfall
features for each month and for each
year have been summarized. A wide
variation over small patches of terri
tory is indicated. and while the annual
precipitation is more than 40 inches at
very few stations, it is 48 inches in the
Monts d'Arree, and only 20 to "a inches
in the basins of the Seine, the Loire

tober. The rainfall for this month ex-
.ceeds four inches in the country OF

Upheld Traditions Of His Corps.

Fighting on his own hook or helping
out when it is somebody else's fight,
United States marine is pretty likely to
be on the job Private Carroll Mabe,,
a marine attached to the Boston navy
yard was Ill at the United States naval
hospital at Chelsea, Mass. There was
not much fight left in him. Near
by, in the same hospital, was another
patient, desperately ill, who could not
make his fight alone. He had to have
a TRANSMISSION of blood. Private Mabe
volunteered, and his blood saved the
day He risked his life as cheerfully
for fellow servant of the flag as he
would have done for the flag itself, and
the commanding officer of the hospital
in his report warmly praised him for
volunteering this dangerous and try
ing service The marine proved that
there is as much opportunity for hero
ism on sick bed as on battlefield,
and has been personally commended
by Major General Barnett for his self
sacrifice and heroic act. Private Mabe
enlisted with the marines at Winston
Salem. N. c., in November, 1916.
