HOW | TOOK CARE
OF MY CUCUMBERS
BY ANTolNETT PAULSEN,
Member of the Wisconsin Boys and
Girls Clubs.

Girls Clubs.
One day In early spring l was think
ing how | could best earn money dur
ing vacation. AS | knew there was
quite bit Of money in cucumber
pickles, [ thought I'd try them. I
asked my father if l could have a
small piece of land and he said yea,
so l felt very happy. 1 made a con
tract with the pickle nan / had my
brother pillow my ground and l plant-
ed my seeds pretty early.
/ no more than had the seeds in the
ground when along came the rain and
1t rained for a week or two. But then
it cleared up and my pickles came up
and | found that the ram had washed
some of the seeds away. | took pan
of seeds and replanted the hills where
the first seeds did not come up.
covered the seeds with a thin shell Of
dirt.
In a short time they were all up so
| cultivated them. The sun was so
hot because we did not have rain FOR
q long time-a week or two at least.
SO l took an old pail and put some
fertilizer in it and some waller. Then
I Watered my pickles with that. You
should have seen them grow then.
They grew so fast / conld see them
get bigger.
| put on my overalls, took my hoe
and went for the weeds in the middle
of the patch and hoed around the
plants. The sun was so hot that I
tried this stunt to keep cool: 1 took
my straw hat which was very old-it
once belonged to my sister l filled it
with water and clapped it on my head
1t was nice and cool to have the water
run down my face and neck | could
work Il lot better
1t took q long time before the Gu
cumbers bloSsomed. I began to be
afraid | would not make much on
them. But by the last of July they
began to look better
The first of August / picked them
for the first time. | was 4 little disaD,
pointed when l got only So cents but
felt quite rich a few Gays later
when l got $264. I maze pickles
every other day until toward fall when
l had TO wait two or three days and
then later frost came and killed them.
If the frost had held off a little
longer l might have got q lot more
money from my pickles as got 81. 20
for the last picking and it was pretty
cold for them to grow then 1t cost
me $10.6S to produce my pickles and
in all I received $3113, so my net
profit was $20.45.

j. 5. TRANSPORT IN
TERRIFIC STORMS
Thousand Yanks Arrive on Buford
After FrightfuI Experience.
TUGS GO TO RESCUE OF SHIP
Vessel Lost Course Number Of Times
Also Lost Steering Gear. and
Floundered in Heavy Seas
Three Weeks Coming Over.

Newport News, March 1O.-MOre
than 1000 Yanks, including many ILL
nois men, disembarked from the trans
port Buford, which was conveyed into
port by tugs which rescued her in
terrific gale off Cape Henry.
After foundering in. heavy seas for
p days, losing her course a score of
times, she lost her steering gear, and
when she sent an S. o. S. call she
was being steered by hand, an almost
impossible task in the sort of wealth
er she met out there.
Transports Worst Trip.
This is said to have been the worst
trip she ever made Trouble cropped
up when she had been out of Bordeaux
only few days. An officer who re-
turned last week on another boat
stated that two days out of port his
vessel got wireless from the Buford,
asking them to give her her bearings,
as she had lost her direction in the
heavy seas.
Officers returning declared the ex-
periences in the fighting zones were
tame compared to the battle with the
heavy waves they, had just gone
through without relief for three weeks.
For many days the vessel had been
approaching the coast, they said,
while they didn't know exactly where
they were, or whether they would be
able to reach land. Fu0 was almost
exhausted, and the tax on the strength
of the crew and the passengers was
said to be terrific.
The Buford brought ten casual COM
panies, representing nearly every
state and in the crowd were men who
had seen service in every big fight
during the closing months of the war.
Midwest Men Aboard.
The units aboard included a de-
tachment of the Sixth coast artillery
for Fort Logan, Colo; detachment
Of the Sixth heavy mobile ordnance
repair shop for Camp Grant and an
other for Columbus CO., barracks !;
casual companies for Arkansas, Illi-
nois, Minnesota, Tennessee and
Texas; part of Company NJ, Three
Hundred and Forty-fifth infantry
Eighty-seventh Louisiana, Mississippi
and Arkansas) division; negro cas-
ual company for Virginia, and scat
tered casuals for Illinois and Ohio.

Don't Save on Milk.

Look at children who do not get
milk, but get tea and coffee instead.
Aren't most of them pale ard sickly +?
There are always very many sick chill
dren in cities and in countries where
milk is scarce. When milk prices go
up and mothers begin to economic on
milk more children become sick. Do
nor let your children run this risk.
Give them clean, pure milk and help
them to grow up strong and we'll and
wiz in their fight against disease.
Save on other things if you must, but
not on milk, your child's besi food.

terfat and other constituents Of milk

parent owes to himself and to his fam

amounts of milk, butter, cheese and

During this last winter, when much
agitation was had in some of the
larger cities over the price of milk.

cents per quart by reason of the rapid
rise in the cost Of feed and labor.
many families were found giving their
