No time should be lost in getting
ready for the big victory garden drive
in Washington this year. Stndy your
ground and make yo1r plans now.
Preparation Is the only way for real
success. Reports from all parts OF the
country to the national war garden
commission tell Of tie way in which
numerous cities ALL town, are getting
ready to feilow up the b.. war gsruen
work they did as. y .,r with \ bigger
victory garden campaign this year.
This will bring results and Washing
ton must be well up in the lis:-
the top If possible-when the Tinal ie-
turns come in.
In addition to local committees and
organizations in various places which
are cooperating to arouse the inter-
est of the nations great army OF
home food growers, railroads are
spreading the message along their
lines through posters and in other
ways. the National Womans Farm
and Garden Association Us backing
the movement, and many other bod
les are giving it their hearty sup
port. The need for greater food pro-
duction is recognized everywhere.
There is no other problem of such i'm
portanCe.

Idea to Be Kept in Mind.

That is the great thought to be kept
in mind by every one who wishes TO
help himself and his country at the
same time this year by getting into
the garden and raising some food.
There is no field of endeavor which
for an equal amount of time and
labor. will render such excellent re-
turns.
And these returns will not be only
financial. Gardening is one of the
most interesting and fascinating
studies. There is always something
new to be learned about the way
plants grow and thrive. Charles Dud-
ley Warner once wrote a whole book,
My Summer in Garden" telling
what a lot of fun he had in caring
for his vegetable patch.
Fortunately, gardening is not n diff
fcult science which requires years of
preparation, like law or medicine or
engine ering, before the beginner can
start in. Nevertheless, there are a
few essentials which should be learn
ed. and the person who wants to sue
coed in his undertaking will give that
necessary study to the subject. That
is why everybody is urged to get
busy now. and have everything ready
against that fine spring day, not SO
far off as it may seem. when the
ground will call: I'm ready noww
Then will the song of the hoe be
heard in joyful earnest in Washing
ton, as elsewhere throughout the
land. and the drive to GUST the enemy
hunger will be on. Get a garden
book now.

The club already consists of about

anything and everything that comes

BIG PAY BILL MAY
BECOME LAW SOON
Mr.. Underwood Hopes for
Early Disposition; Federal
Workers Urge $500.

Senator Underwood of Alabama,
who reported the legislative, execu
tive and judicial appropriation bill
to the Senate from the committee on
appropriations. hopes to be able to
get the bill up for consideration and
disposition early this week. If pos
sible he viii have 1t taken up. he
says, Immediately after the passage
of the post office appropriation bill
Government employees are urging
their friends in the Senate to make a
fight to increase the $249 bonus to
$3.50 when the bill comes up on the
floor of the Senate. A mass meeting
of the local Federal Employees Union
is to be held today at Liberty Hut to
discuss the situation.
Employees of the war risk insurance
bureau declare that the Senate COM
mittee has not done justice to them
in allowing them only 1920 as a bonus
instead of s240 allowed the employees
of the older bureaus. The committee
however, insists that the war risk
insurance employees. who are really
rev to the government service in the
vast majority of cases are better paid
than the clerks in the older bureaus
and that to give them the $240 bonus
would be to treat them better than
the older employees of the government
On the other hand, E. d. Barchelder
appointment clerk of the war risk in
surance bureau, insisted at the hear
ings before the Senate subcommittee
that on the average the pay of the
bureau employees was less than that of
other employees of the Treasury De-
partment. exclusive of the bureau of
engraving and printing. The figures
he gave were s1,102.e5 for the en-
ployes of the war risk insurance bu-
reau, and S1.134.66 for the Treasury
Department. exclusive of the s120
bonus allowed this year (Which the
war risk insurance employees do not
get), and with that bonus, s1,226.03.

Famous Generals Advice Applied.
A young officer once asked a famous
general what he considered the most
important point to be kept in mind
in preparing TO meet the enemy.
Study your ground" was the prompt
reply. It Is necessary for an advanc-
ing army TO know every foot of the
territory over which it is going to
move forward. This advice applies
with equal force to the food war in
which we are now engaged. The vic
tory gardeners of Washington should
begin now to map out their plan of
campaign against Gen Hunger. The

To begin with, then, everybody
should get one of the garden books
as soon as possible and begin to
study it. When a builder is getting
the architect to carefully prepare
plans. The same should be true of
the gardener. There are many ques-
tons which he should ask himself

it is likely TO insure better results
and bigger crops.
