Canned Tomatoes Save a Home for
 IClub Girl and. Her: Mother .zs. ss

A 14-year.old canning. club girl intBoyle County, Ky, is the daughter of widow. There are four younger children. They own their own home, comforta. ble cottage with two acres of ground, and the mother se,ys to support tl,f five girls. Last year the oldest little girl joined the 10 cal canning club. Besides can ming for the family's use, she canned tomatoes for sale. Pro ceeds from the first cans bought shoes for herself and sisters, but the bulk of the products were sent way for sale.
 The cost of living rose in Boyle Countyiduring the war, as else where, whilesthe pay for sewing remained at a prewar basis. Tax day came and the mother of the five for the first time had no money to pay. The property was advertised to be sold for taxes. A few days before the date of.the sale letter came to the club member. All her can ned tomatoes had been sold, and the check for them @as inclosed. The amount more than covered the taxes due and their house is their own again.

Congress In Special Session

Summoning Congress in spe- cial session on May 19, the Pres ldent, governed by knowledge of conditions rossessed by few others, indicates the time when in lawmaking as well as treaty making he is to need the assist ance of the legislative depart ment.
 The Germans must begin their responses to the treaty of peace presented to them, not later than May 21. From May 19 un til the end of the fiscal year on June 30 six weeks will intervene 1n-t that period. with the notice now given, it should be possible for Congress to correct many of it's own shortcomings as to ap prOpriationS, and if the new, Re. publican majority has a construc tive programme. to present 1t.
 Everything will depend upon the temper of the men in con. trol. In the Senate they can wreck treaties and extinguish h every hope of peace if they will. In both Houses it is possible for unrestrained partyism, address ing itself only to the Presiden- tial campaign of 1920, to discred- it itself and inflict hardship up. on the people. This Congress is no vindicatiop of standpat Re publcanism. It is simply stand pat Republicanism on trial be fore an exceedingly critical jury.
