"..And we each want to win the

low as you may well understand.
"What race?' asked the Fairy
Queen.
"'Each vegetable wants to be the

"'Oh,' said the Fairy Queen. you
shouldn't feel that way about it, for
each vegetable has its own time for be

VEGETABLE GARDEN.

'sThere were many vegetables grow
ing In q little garden" said Daddy,
"and each was trying to do its very
best.
"The garden was not large, but the
children who owned the garden, or
rather whose daddy owned it, had been
given that much space in which to do
as they liked.
"They had heard that vegetables
were needed, that all the land should
be made useful and that nothing
should be wasted. They had been
told how wrong it was to waste, and
they had decided that it was not only
wrong, but it was extremely stupid.
$50 these two little boys and their
small sister were making the garden
grow. Once a week a gardener came
and did all the heavy work, and at
night their daddy would help to water
the little growing green things. But
Ill the rest of the work they did them
selves.
It took q great deal of time, too, but
Il was such fun. And oh, there was
great rejoicing when first the seeds
showed above the ground, and when
the plants that had been put in the
hotbeds began to look so handsome
and green!
1.-THE children used to hoe around the
beans and potato plants; then they
would weed and make the dirt nice and
soft around the vegetables. They
would water them sc, they would have
cooling drinks and be refreshed.
1.-THE plants were warmed and
helped to grow by the sun. 1t really
was a very fine looking garden, and
all the vegetables seemed to be thriv-
ing splendidly. They were still very
young, though the lettuce was almost
ready to be eaten-that is, if people
didn't mind having just tiny taste Of
lettuce, for the leaves were very small.
''The children kept from picking the
lettuce until it really grew to be the
right size, though it was very hard not
to take 1t up at once, for it was so
nne to have grown something like that.
"They grew to know what all the
little green stalks and leaves meant
and what vegetables they were. They
loved the green Of the carrot stalks.
and they thought it quite funny that
such q plain, substantial vegetable
should be so dressed up.
~And the beets, with their reddish
green leaves, were quite familiar to
them now. And the thin stalks of the
little onions. The radishes had
coarse green stalk, unlike any of the
others. OF course they knew potatoes

and the tomato vines and the beans,
and there was dark-green parsley, too,
that gave such nice extra touches to
everything.
Ut wonder when our garden will be
quite ready said the little sister. I'D
like to start second crop of lettuce
":And I'd like to start a second crop
Of radishes.' said one of her brothers.
"Now that night the Fairy Queen
thought she would take walk through
that garden, and she heard all the veg
etables talking and whispering to
themselves. No one else, of course,
could understand the talk Of the vege-
tables but the Fairy Queen.

Coming Events
Cast Their Shadows
Prepafe Now TO Withstand the Cris;S,

Do not anticipate with q shudderfng dread
the beautiful event Of childbirth. You can
avoid discomfort during the period and
strain at the crisis BY preparing your system
and putting yourself in splendid condition
to meet the time.
For just this purpose women all over the
land, in every walk Of life, have used for
over half a century the time-honored and
famous remedy. Mothers Friend. It Is pre-
pared to give the mother-to-be that direct
help she needs. The muscles, nerves, ten
dons and cords are made and kept soft and
elastic. Thus strain is avoided, and as q
result nervousness, nausea, bearing-down
and stretching pains are avoided.
The abdominal muscles expand easily and
gently when baby Is born. Naturally, pain
is less and the hours are fewer. The system
IS prepared and the crisis Is one Of much
less danger.
Write the Bradfeld Regulator Company,
Dept. M. Lamar Building, Atlanta. Georgia.
for their Helpful Motherhood Book. and OBJ
tain a bottle Of Mothers Friend from the
druggist today. It is just as standard az
anything you can think Of.
And remember, there Is nothing to take
the place Of MOTHERS FRIEND.

U-B0AT So SANK
THE JACOB JONES
Same Submarine That Visited
) Newport in 1916.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The Ameri-
can destroyer Jacob Jones, sunk off
the Irish coast by German subma-
rine December 6. 1917, was torpedoed
by the U-53, the vessel which visited
Newport, r. l., in the summer of 1916,
and later married the allied merchant
shipDing off the New England coast.
The fact was disclosed in the report
of Lieutenants +. l.. Muller and ]. Fl.
Fulcher, U. s. n. who were captured
by the submarine U-152. which sank
the cargo transport Ticonderoga, Sep
tember 80. 1918. and were released
when the German submarine tlotIlll
was surrendered. November -. after
they had spent nearly two months on
the submersble in American waters
and at the German submarine base at
Kiel.
The report showed also that the
German officer commanding the U-53
when the Jones was destroyed, Cap
tain Won Schrader. was aboard the
boat when it was at Newport He
there saw Lieutenant Commander Da-
vid Worth Bagley, brother Of the
wife of Secretary Daniels. who COM
manded the Jacob Jones. Won Schrad-
er told the captured American officer
that he had recognized Bagley in the
dOry of the sinking destroyer and
sent out wireless call for aid before
leaving the scene. A note appended
to the report, presumably by Vice Ad-
miral Sims, said such call was pick
ed up at Queenstown, but that it's
origin had been a mystery. The U-152,
which after sinking the Ticonderoga
and taking Muller and Fulcher
aboard, continued to American waters
to raid shipping, encountered the U-52
on its way back to Kiel, after all
German submarines had been recalled

PottsviIe, Pa, Jan. 2I.-lnEestiga-
tion by the United States senaT" COM
Iiitiec OH manufactures into lhe an
thracite coal business was concluded
in this r,@ion and vii, he resumed IN
Washin@ton in Il few days.
\ very grea; volume Of tata
has been obtained, which will be
used as he ':;:is Of legislation
designed to preyt.i: future eNtortlon-
ale prices Of coal and reduce prevail
ing prices as soon as possible. One
of tile best WAYS to do this, i'll the
opinion e the visiting senators, would
be to rrs,ore competition among the
coal companies and break down the
comb ma ION which controls 81 per
cert of The anthracite production.
The testimony taken i'll POttSvllle
and thai taken at previous hearings
at Washington developed the fact that
all of the big anthracite companies
have a method of fixing the price of
coal by means of Il 'circular. which
is relgiously adhered TO. not only by
the big corporations, but also by in
dependents. Equally important in the
coal question is the apparent agree
ment among all the large coal-iand
owners not to lease coal tracts for de-
velopment to such an extent as to
overstock the market and thus reduce
prices.
Some of the operators told the in
vestigatorS that an overStockcd mark
ct would not reduce the price of coal,
the companies apparently having
faith in ;hc "circuler" being Obeyed
regardless of the pressure that might
come to the operators to lower the
price in order to sell ii greater guam
tity.
1t is believed that legislation can be
easily devised TO cure many OF the
evils of the anthracite trade. William
Wilhelm, counsel for the committee,
already has prepared bills, two of
them designed to prevent anti-leas-
ing agreements and to prevent rail
roads from carrying coal off tracts
where more than fifty cents a ton
royalty is charged But the most
sweeping of these proposed laws
would prevent the carrying of coal for
operating leSSeeS who fail to develop
the properties held by them under
lease for five years or more.
Confederation of the vast extent
of the Schuylkill field was given by
l.. d. Warmer, chief engineer of the
Lehigh Coal & Navigation company.
WARMERS testimony showed that on
5000 acres Of coal his company so
far has mined 100000 tons. This
coal reaches a depth of 1000 feet,
and so far, even with all this tonnage
extracted. the mining is only being
1one at depth not greater than 500
feet. This would indicate that in
This field two-thirds of the coal still
remains. awaiting the miners pick
and drill.
Warriner told the investigators that
his company controlled the Lehigh
canal which is one of the two water
ways from the anthracite region now
in a dilapidated condition. The COM
pany regards this as a public canal,
on which any one has the privilege
OF shipping coal, but, owing to the
antiquated methods still in vogue, no
one attempts to do this. Coal may
be shipped to Philadelphia over this
canal, as the waterway connects with
the Delaware at Easton.

alton Of Law Of Supply and De-
mand Droa in Prices Would Only
Be Temporary
Washington, Jan. 27.-The food
administration is doing nothing to
lower food prices in America.
The position taken by Off IL
was learned is that if the present
overplus Of foodstuffs admittedly
piled up in this country now were t"
drop in price. by reason II free
working of the law of supply and de-
mand, the drop would only be temper
airy.
"What we hope to accomplish is
that America can divide her overplus
of food with the European nations
and still keep prices at the same rea-
sonable level" said an official.
"Our ships are loaded to capacity
with foodstuffs for Europe now.
Within a short time the surplus will
have dwindled Permitting the free
economic laws to operate now would
mean that they must operate three
months from now, also. Then it
would be difficult to keep prices as
low as they are now"
1t was admitted, however, that IN
many foodstuffs there is no reason
why there should not be a decided
drop Dairy products, with the eN-
ception of condensed milk and cheese
and other dairy conditions that can
be shipped overseas, it was declared,
are in sufficient quantity in this coun-
try.
Herbert G. Hoover, food admins
traitor, asserted before he left for Eu-
rope two months ago that break
might be expected in the butter MAJ
ket if prices were not reduced.
The food administrations stand is
that it is not empowered to demand
lower prices and that it has no power
to prosecute those who violate its
rules under the Lever act.
"The only thing that can be done
is for local food administrators to es-
tablish fair price lists and publish
merchants who profiteer," it was de-
rlared
