LOST

Republican leaders in Congress
have failed as signally to make poll
tical capital for their party-and
that was one of their purposes-as
they have to enact beneficial legiala.
ton for the country. A good legis.
lative record would have been at
once useful to the people and advan-
rageous to the Republican party. A
catalogue of their opportunities hap.
pens also to be a list of their fail
ures. When the special session of
Congress was convened last May the
country expected and demanded a
whole body of measures that would
assist reconstruction. There was, for
instance. the problem Of fixing the
definite status of the railroads. which
were neither the property of the
stockholders. For want of any de.
cisive action of Congress the roads
still remain in the same anomalous
situation. Special taxes which went
to swell the cost of living without at
the same time representing large
revenues to the Government were on
the books-and they are still opera.

generally desired and certainly justi-

of the armistice it is still lacking.
Most important of all, there was
need for the prompt restoration of
peace as a pre-, requisite to the re.
sumption of domestic industry and
foreign commerce, but still waits on
the Senate. AS units of the popula-

touch so intimately the welfare OF

Soldiers are waiting more or less
patiently to find what Congress is 60

Republican leaders reply that they

last spring before making their
pledges of immediate action.

Garden Time At Hand

1t is time to be shaping up your ga
len and getting the plots in condition
% plant. Much stress was laid last
year upon the Importance of each per-
son having garden, so far as possible
and the general agitation had the Ell
:ect of a great quantity of home pro
iuction, and this is just what we need
again in the year 1919.
Some people may assume, that the
war being over, there is not the necess
,ty for individual effort there was last
year, but this is not the case; there Is
much need for great production, for
the war has left the world in bad shape,
and there is a general shortage of food
There is no better way to make up for
che deficiency than by each person do
ing his part in producing big food
supply. 1t will guarantee plenty and
greatly reduce the cost of living.
1t may seen to many that the little
they raise is insignificant to the amour
of food required, and so it is, but The
total output of the home garden last
year was enormous and did much to re-
leve the food situation, and the same
effort this year will do as much, if not
more this year.
To not fail to have garden and you
will then not only aid yourself but help
in the big problem of feeding the world,
which is now one of the very big ques'
tons confronting it.

The Origin of "Doughboy"

The term "doughboy'' dates from
the Civil War, waen army wit was
aroused By the large, glob liar brass
button on infantry uniforms. Someone
he must have been sailor-dubbed
the buttons "doughboys" because they
reminded him of the boiled dump
ling of raised dough that are frequently
served in ships messes and are know n
to all sailors as 'doughboys.
Originally the name referred only to
infautrymen, but the American Expedi-
tionary Force applies it to all branches
and all grades of the service the
Stars and Stripes.
