THIS THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
Many Believe That Territory In Which
Famous Spot Was Situated Has
Been Located.

"And the Lord God planted a garden
to the eastward In Eden. And river
went out of Eden to water the garden;
and it was parted into four heads."-
Genesis.
Sir William Willcocks, who, In be-
half of the British government has
had charge of the wonderful irrigation
works in Egypt was assigned not long
ago to the duty of planning similar
large-scale enterprise for the restora-
ton Of ancient Babylonia to its former
agricultural productiveness-
Thus it happened that he located, to
the reasonable satisfaction of archie
ologists, the veritable site of the Gar
den of Eden. For reasons wholly prac-
teal he thought that the best way to
begin.
Starting from the spot where Jewish
tradition placed the gates of paradise
the word paradise" meaning gar
den-he followed the traces of the
four streams mentioned in Genesis,
which, as therein named, were the Pr
son, the Gihon, the Hiddekel and the
Euphrates.
The Euphrates (known by that name
today flowed through the great city
Of Babylon. The Gihon is now called
the Hindia. The Hiddekel is the mod
ern Sakhlawia. which flows into the
Tigris at Bagdad. The Pison has gone
dry, but is represented by many
armed channels "encompassing the
whole land of Havilath" (see Genesis).
which lay between Egypt and Assyria.
The -Euphrates enters its delta a
few miles below Hit, there leaving the
desert and debouching into vast al
luvial plain. In this departure 1t has
a considerable fall, with a number of
cataracts, and along narrow valley
giant water wheels lift water to irri-
gate Of the land on both sides of the
stream
The entrance to this valley (accord-
Ing to Jewish tradition) was the gate
of the Paradise In which Adam and
Eve dwelt, and from which they were
expelled for disobeying a divine COM
mand. There the traveller first meets
the date palm, which is tree Of life"
(see Genesis) to the whole Arab world.
Along the valley garden succeeds
garden. 1t is today a veritable para
disc. orchards and date groves check
cred with fields of cotton. The climate
Is everlasting summer, so that three or
four crops year may be grown.
Anciently the cataracts were much
higher, and water wheels were unnec-
essary, the water being led off by
bitches.
The Garden of Eden, indeed, gains
interest from the fact that 1t seems to
have been the first irrigated area in
the world.

HAD LOTS OF FUN
Mr.. GosIington's Experience That
of Many Others.
Who Wouldn't Feel Pleasure at Hav-
ing to Secure Larger afe-Deposit
Box for Liberty Bonds and
Other valuables7

Il never would have thought it,"
said Mr. Goslington, "but I've had to
get bigger safe-deposit box.
Before the great war had a mod
est check account, and a little fund
slowed away In a savings bank for
emergencies, but no safe-deposit box,
large or small. / had no use for one,
l had no stocks or bonds to keep in
one; but when the war came and we

Of how little you could get box for,

thing, and now the time had come
when l needed a box myself; and it
was a very pleasant reflection. l
guess you know the size box l took.
Still, thought that box would be
plenty big enough for me. hadn't
many bonds to put In, you under

got the box I found that had some
other things that really belonged in
1t; insurance policies and some other
papers and documents that We're of

begin to take all the room l soon
found that my little box was packed
so that l had to crowd the cover down
to get 1t to close.
"And l will admit that the safe
deposit experience was a lot of fun
to me. 1t was real pleasure to me
to have my box politely hauled out
for me from Its deep pigeon hole in
the safe-deposit vault; and 1t was
pleasure to be shown to a cubby hole
with door that l could close, and
where l found a desk and pens and
ink and paper and shears and coupon
envelopes and so on; 1t was a pleasure
to be a safe-deposit customer, and
certainly did smile when used those
shears for the first time, cutting off
coupons.
''Then the time came when, as
bought more bonds, and what with the
other stuff In 1t, the box was so full
that they had hard work to crowd 1t
into its pigeon hole and hard work
to pull 1t out, and then / simply had

too.
"Of course, you know / did not now

layed in cutting the coupons. may
come TO that. why not? Stranger
things than that have happened to
other people, and I don't know why
they might not happen to me. But
meanwhile 1t was satisfaction to me
to reflect that had at least outgrovn

time being I might be able to get
along nicely with one just the next

than ever.
The universally of the wrist watch

wrist no watch will work properly; the

Thrift and Savings Notes.

Charles S. Parker of Montgomery.
who has completed a four weeks
course in the school for field secre-
taries who are to engage in war saw
ings' work in the New England
states, has returned home from Bos-
ton and viii take up active work in
Orleans county as sart of his ter
ritOry.
The field secretaries school, which
was attended by about 35 young men
through the cooperation of Dean Lord
wa sattended by about 50 young men
and women. There were three men
from Vermont, viz, Mr.. Parker, John
A. Gordon of Barre and Joel J. La
mere of Ludlow. The course incIud-
ed lectures on "Salesmanship," "Sim-
pie Economics" Government Fl
nance" and "Public Speaking"
Mrs. d. c. Jones of Waterbury,
state manager, has sent to the school
teachers of the state, about 5000 in
number, information regarding the
work to be done in the schools. DIR. M.
B. Hillegas of Montpelier, state COM
missioner of education, has signified
his Willingness to cooperate in the
work as he did last year and the same
hearty support is expected from
every teacher and pupil.
A letter has been sent to every
teacher in the state endorsing the
thrift movement; urging that the
teaching of thrift be a definite part
of the program in every school, and
especially commencing the govern
ment plan of the sale of thrift and
savings stamps as a definite oppor-
tunity for the practical application of
the principle of thrift. Every school
in the state has been supplied with
"Carry-on" poster and the grades
have been supplied with thrift chests.
Evidence of the interest already arous-
ed is shown in the requests of moth
ers for chests for the children at
home, as well as in school. The form
ing of Happy Jack clubs is to be an
attractive feature of the school cam
paign.
The sale of War Savings stamps in
Vermont during the month of April
