Whatever Happens, We Shall Al
ways Have Enough to Eat.

Nomad. in the Boston Transcript.
A trip by rail through southern
New England will convince any one
who makes 1t, provided ne has his
eyesight. that there never will be any
famine conditions in the United
States. even If all our coasts, in some
future struggle with the Teuton.
should be blockaded. Never was so
large an area planted to gardens as
now, and never, generally speaking,
did gardens look better--although
are parched for want of rains, and
where the potatoes were not sprayed
for the blight the tops have died en-
tirely away.
Much more land is in gardens this
year than last, and the amateur war
gardeners have SO profited by last
years experience that the gardens are
in much better condition. But one
thought strikes the observer in pass
things growing. and that Is that less
than half the space is cultivated that
might be.
The production has not yet been
fully organized. 1t will yet be or
ganized. for the pleasure and salts
faction that the amateur gardeners
are enjoying will make thousands of
others want to do the same thing.
There Is unused land enough so that
everybody who wants a garden may
and should have one, whether he
possesses or holds any land or not.
Give every man and woman a garden
and it's truce to Hoover and his
war bread--a truce to the beef trust
and its profiteered meat.

New Year Message Addressed to
State DEPARTMENT Associates.

Mr.. Polk, acting Secretary of State
marked the close of the memorable
year 1918 by making the following
public tribute to the officials and en-
ployes OF the State Department.:
las the year 1918 draws to its close l
wish, in the absence of the Secretary,
to take this opportunity of wishing you
a happy new year and also expressing
the pride we who are charged with di-
rectfng the various activities of the De-
partment of State feel in the work that
has been done during the period of the
war by the men and women of the de-
partment- 1t was a temptation to many
to leave and seek places in the public
eye more spectacular and better paid,
hut you realized that there was no more
essential nor more important service
for the country than the service In this
department and you lahored on faithfully
in crampcd quarters, knowing no hours
and making financial sacrifices, doing
your duty as patriotic men and women
where you knew your duty lay. / con-
graduate you on your splendid record
The officers of the department appre-
ciate what you have done and are deeply
grateful to you, but above all you have
the personal satisfaction OF kEowiag
your work was well DONE -

and President Wilson.

Declaring that the allies had ac-

MANCHESTER, December 81. -
Commenting on President Wilson's
visit, and urging the necessity OF the
assembling of the peace conference
without further delay, the Guardian
today says.
While we are talking and demon
strating others are acting, and by no
means acting in a sense favorable to

Italy is creating accomplished
facts on the eastern shore Of the Adrt-
attic: n powerful party is forming in
France which. not content with the
recovery of Alsace and Lorraine and
the happy healing of that historic
sore, threatens to create fresh sore
by annexation beyond its borders. /

of Poles, and thus to cut OF East
Prussia from West Prussia, and ap-
parently she designs to pursue her
enterprise by occupying purely Ger

The Guardian concludes:
Now, this is obviously not exactly
conformab1c to either the spirit or
the letter of President Wilson's terms,

cisions OF the conference when 1t

LONDON. December 3I.-Morning
newspapers give great and equal
prominence to the speech Of Premier
Clemenceau before the French cham
Der of deputies and President wilson's
address at Manchester. By their
headlines and by placing in juxtapo-
sition the striking passages, and by
their comment, the newspapers re-
veal a certain uneasiness in conse-
quence of the apparent divergence
between M. Clemenceau and Mr. VIII

There is an obvious endeavor, how

the existence of u substantial dis
agreement or promoting anxietyre

seems mainly to show that NJ. Clemen-

TAKE THE BACKRoADs.
Advice to Motorists Who Prefer
Not to Eat Dust All Day Long.
I'm the India napol;s News.

U
There are at least two distinctive
classes OF motor car drivers, One in
cludes those who desire to get from a
given point to another given point in
the shortest possible time. The other
enjoys motoring because the automG-
beauties OF nature, to seek out quiet
and primitive spots, and to view the
country at it's best There is sharp
line between the two. Most of the
Monday casualty lists are made up of
members of the first. Accidents to
the driver who is in no particular
hurry are more infrequent.
A man who has driven q car for sew
eral years says that one can tell the
speed Of a car without a device that
registers the number of miles an hour.
When the car is going twenty or
twenty-five miles an hour there is
plenty of conversation on the back
seat. The occupants point out things
of interest and comment thereon.
When. the speed gets up to thirty-five
or forty miles an hour there is less
talking, and when n higher mark is
attained there is dead silence. Every
body in the car has his eyes glued on
the road ahead, and is hopeful that
nothing will happen. There is no time
and no inclination to talk, even il the
rush OF air would permit it.
Happily, the average rnotorist does
not drive at an excessive speed, and il
is the average motorist who is learn
ing that there arc two kinds of high
ways in Indiana. One kind is the
main road between cities, much
utilized by speeders-the drivers who
watch the speedometer and who brag
on what they have been able to get
out of her"
The other kind of driver Isl learning
that there usually is back road. At
this season of the year many OF these
back roads are in better condition
than the main highways. They are
smoother and there is less dust. Little
traffic is met. and the surrounding
country. as rlSle, is prettier and
more pastoral. The man who seeks
out these back roads may have to
drive a Few miles farther than il he
had kept to the main travelled ways.
