Start early. The best part of gardening
takes place in your mind.
The Victory Garden Book will tell you
just when to plant and what And remem-
Der, it takes more than work TO raise q
good garden; it takes intelligence.
Favor the Backbone Crops" which are
such as potatoes, lima beans, snap beans,
sweet corn. tomatoes, cabbage, and onions.
These are the fighting ration"
But don't neglect the other good things,
such as peas beets, carrots, radishes, tur-
nips, lettuce, and the like.
Don't buy lot of expensive tools just
to keep up with the Joneses. For an ordi-
nary plot all you need is good spade,
hoe and a rake.
Plants live on soup" That is, they must
have moisture. And in order to get the
moisture to the roots of the plant the soil
must be pulverized and free from clods.
Keep your soil rich with nitrate or
manure. The Victory Book will tell you
how TO use fertilizers, and if used improper
ly they may ruin your crop.
Keep the soil Sweet" with lime. The
book will tell you how to do this. You
cannot raise good vegetables on Sour"
soil.
These and a lot Of other things your
government is anxious to tell you.
Every home ought TO have garden. And
every healthy man, woman. and child has
a natural impulse to get out and dig, when
spring comes and the robin

Now is the time to think about gardens

Now Is the time TO think about gardens
From the literature issued by the gov
eminent | take the following hints:
The first thing TO do Is TO write TO "The
National War Garden Commission, Washing
ton. ID. c.. and ask for THE Victory Garden
Book" II will be sent you free, If you inclose
a two-cent stamp. From 1t you will get a
deal of practical, reliable and plain informa-
ton.
Watch the robin. When you see the
first robin, get busy with garden plans.
Sometimes this bird comes a bit too soon,
but usually he Is natures dependable har-
binger Of spring.
Just because the war is over, do not stop
your garden activities The world will still
be hungry in 1919.
The u. S. A. had 5,285.00O war gardens
in 1918, and the commission tells us we
ought to have 100000 this year. The
shortage Of food in Europe is appalling.
We have finished the war against the
Hun; now we must take up the war against
hunger.
Start garden club in your neghborhood
A community can get better advice about
soils and seeds and other garden essentials
than can any one person.
There is shortage Of seed. Get yours
early.
Buy seed only from reliable firms. A
club can buy seed better and cheaper than
an individual.

of its location it was hard to fight
even after the department succeeded

in operation.

WILSON AND CARWILE.

- Prof. Walter W. Wilson, of Level
Land, who was recently introduced
to the Hill-billies,. went home and
armed himself with another good set
badk-player, Prof. Add Carwife, and
returned to the city on yesterday,
with blood on his horns. He tackled
the two best players in the club, and
after having swallowed them alive,
he and his partner tried another
team, and gave them the same SEN
tence. They then began to look
around for the others, intending to
put in full days work in cleaning
out the whole crowd, just like clear
ing new-ground, but they were dis
appointed to find that every other
member had left town for the tall
timbers. ...-
Prof. Wilson was especially anx-
ious to cross bats with Uncle Jim and
any partner he desired to choose,
but he could get little information as
to his whereabouts. He told US that
"OlS Hill" had informed him that
Uncle Jim was down town before
breakfast trying to find DR.. Jones F.
Miller, whom he wanted to fill pre-.
scription which Col. Johnnie Mckee
had sent him, and that he supposed
he found the doctor and got the pre-.
scription filled as he had not beer
able to locate him all day long, al
though he had looked diligently fol
both Uncle Jim and the prescription
especially for the latter.

Instructions were issued tp Gen.

ia, it was learned, to avoid carefully
any act which would, commit the

"THE BIRTH OF A NATION"
Comes to the Opera House, Next
Wednesday.

wednesday.
The Magnitude Of David w. Grif-
fith's feat in staging "The Birth Of a
Nation" is almost appalling-at least
to the devotees of the older forms
of theatrical entertainment. Where
now are the little groups of actors,
he pinchbeck scenery and the petty
7"o1erties of the so-called "legiti-
mate" drama? By comparison with
the new art, the "legitimate meas
ures to the mountain like a molehill.
Instead of scenery for his back
ground Griffith has used Nature. For
subject he has covered $50 years of
American history. Eighteen thou
sand people have done his bidding
and in the hair-rising rides of the
Ku Klux Klan three thousand riders
and horses sweep over the dusty
roads.
No wonder that this magnificent
historical spectacle is the talk of the
country. 1t has. established an en-
tirely new art in the realm of the
theatre, the art of pantomimic screen
spectacle with an orchestral score
perfectly synchronized to the action.
1t has also created a tremendous SEN
sation because of it's vaster and more
forceful treatment of the theme of
Thomas Dixon's "The Clansman"
which both as book and play created
the greatest furore of the last de-
cade.
The deeds of the Civil War and the
horror of Reconstruction are made
to live again and the nation re-
born is apothesized.
