VEGETABLE GARDEN.

"There were many vegetables grow

aud eacn was Trying 10 20 is veiy
best.
1.-The garden was not large, but the
children who owned the garden, or
rather whose daddy owned 1t, 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 1t was to waste, and
they had decided that 1t was not only
wrong, but it was extremely stupid.
$50 these two little boys and their
small sister were making the garden
grow. Once week a gardener came
and did all the heavy work, and ut
night their daddy would help to water
the little growing green things. But
all the rest of the work they did them
selves.
1t took a great deal Of time. too, but
1t 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 so they would have
cooling drinks and be refreshed.
The plants We're warmed and
helped to grow by the sun. 1t really
was a very fine looking garden. and
all the vegetables seemed To be thirty
Ing splendidly. They were still very
young. though the lettuce was almost
ready to be eaten-that is. II people
didn't mind having just tiny taste of
lettuce. for the leaves were very small.
"The children kept from picking the
lettuce until 1t really grew to be the
right size, though Ii was very hard not
to take 1t up at once, for it was so
fine 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 1t quite funny that
such 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

everything.

Der of the senior class this year and

the best liked boys in school, ever

IN every way that he could AS yet
many of us can not bring ourselves
to the sad fact that Aaron is dead.
Teachers and students alike were
grieved to learn of the death of Mrs.
Faye Vaughn, which occurred Tues
day afternoon. Mrs. Vaughn was the
teacher of the third grade in the
city schools and reported for duty
Monday of last week, but upon ex-
animation by Miss Nesbit the nurse,
was found i'll and taken home. Her
illness developed into influenza and
later other complications prevented
her recovery. Mrs. Vaughn was a
conscientious worker and shall be

we must remind ourselves that 1t is
both tasty and wholesome cooked as
one does any vegetable. When lettuce
gets little old Is the best time to
turn 1t into green's. Dress 1t with

give 1t good seasoning. 1t may be

and when well grown as greens. Spin
ach Is another most wholesome green
which, when eaten freely In the spring
and summer, will supply gil the iron
needed In most diets. In this season
OF the year when there is such a
wealth Of fruit and vegetables we
should see that they are served every
Gay upon our tables. For those who
accuse the salad Of giving them in
digestion, let them look into the whole
meal and especially the salad Dress
ing. Mustard when used in even
small quantities will cause stomach
trouble. When using mustard the
merest suggestion is sufficient. French
dressing Is easy to make and on the
whole Is the most wholesome of salad
dressings. If your family do not like
olive oil, teach them to like It, for It
Is quite worth while.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Monday morning Mr.. Massey
spoke to the high school and outlined
some Of the possibilities of students
graduating or being promoted. 1t
seems very possible that the work Of
the year can still be covered II nom
sSentials are omitted and II the
students work more intensively, leave
out all foolishness, keep from 90
ing out evenings, attend school reg
ularly and study regularly at home
evenings and Saturdays. If any stu
dents cannot or will not do this they
can not possibly do the work and can
not be promoted. Parents expecting
their children to pass this year must
make 1t possible for them to do the
work. OF course any one is welcome
to come anyhow and do what he or
she can without credit.
No talking In the study room of
the high school is the rule now.
Room FL on the south side has been
designated for those students who
wish to visit. This arrangement
gives any one wishing to study morn
inss. moons or evenings to do 80 In
peace.
The main trouble IN school seems
to be that students do not know
how to study and too many consider
that glancing over lessons is learn
ing them.
There IL q marked Improvement
IN the work Of the high school since
the enforced vacation. The students
realize as never before that they
must work hard II the work OF the
year is to be completed. The seniors
especially, with few exceptions. are
attending regularly and doing their
work we'll.
