OF GARDENS-AND THE ROBIN
By DR.. Frank Crane
1. l. L

Now is the time to think about gardens
From the literature issued by the govern
ment l take the following hints:
The first thing to do is to write to '"The
National War Garden Commission, Washing
ton, d. Co. and ask for 1.-The Victory Gar
den Book" 1t will b. sent you free, if you
inclose a two-cent stamp. From it you will
get deal of practical, reliable and plain in
formation.
Watch the robin! When you see the first
robin, get busy with garden plans. Some
times this bird comes bit too soon, but
usually he is Natures dependable harbinger
Of spring.
Just because the war is over, do not stop
your garden activities. The world will still
be hungry in 1919.
The U. S. A. had 5,285,000 war gardens
in 1918 and the commission tells us we
ought to have 100000 this year. The
shortage of food in Europe is appalling.
We have f1nfuhed the war aaginst the Hun;
now we must take up the war against hun
ger.
Start garden club in your neighborhood.
community can get better advice about
soils and seed and other garden essentials
than can any one person.
There is shortage of seed Get yours early.
Buy seed only from reliable firms. A club
can buy seed better and cheaper than an in
dividual
Start early. The best part of gardening
takes place in your mind.
The Victory Garden Book will tell you just
when to plant and WI at. And remember it
takes more than work to raise good gar
den; it takes intelligence.
Favor the backbone crops which are
such as potatoes, lima beans, snap beans,
sweet corn, tomatoes, cabbage and onions,
These are the Fighting ration
But don't neglect the other good things
such as peas, beets carrots, radishes, turnips
| lettuce, and the like.
| Don't buy a lot of expensive tools just tc
keep up with the Joneses. For an ordinary
plot all you need is a good spade, hoe and
| a rake.
Plants live on ''soup." That is, they must
have moisture. And in order to get the
moisture to the roots of the plant the sol
must be puIverized and free from clods
| Keep your soil rich with nitrate or manure
The Victory Book will tell you how to use
| fertilizers, and if used improperly they ma!
ruin your crop.
Keep the soil ''sweet'' with lime. The
book will tell you how to do this. You car
not raise good vegetables on "sour" soil.
| These and lot of other things your gov
| eminent is anxious to tell you.
Every home ought to have garden. Ant
j., every healthy man. woman and child has {
| natural impulse to get out and dig, whe1
spring comes, and the robin.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
(The Knoxville SentineD

The chief arguments for government own
ership of railroads are that they are pubic
utilities deriving their support from the pub
lie PATRONAGE and obligated first of all to give
the public the best service of which they are
capable. 1t is claimed that it would be IN the
interest of economy and efficiency for all OF
the railroads to be co-crdinated and made CO.
operative under a unified control lodged in
the government as substitute plan for the
Individual and competitive system of trans
portation by rail lines that has heretofore ex-
listed The chief arguments against govern
ment ownership are that private and individ-
ual enterprise and initiative are more efficient
than political control and manipulation. 1t
is argued with great reason and force that
the railroads under government ownership
would become one colossal political machine
with the accustomed concomitants of political
conduct of business of inefficiency and indif-
ferent and perfunctory service to the pubic
from those whose places were attained and
maintained through political favor rather
than fitness for the jobs.

Now I am free to do, and give, and pray,
Not stinting one for other debts owe,
My debts were these: To smile with friendly

On all about, too close for other play;
To say to all the nothings I could say,
And miss the silence which my friends
would know:
To heed the clock that licked me to and
fro
To il1-done tasks. Iong-drawn, diluting day.
But now I am come to wide, free space
Of easy breath, where my straight road
doth lie;
And all my debts are funded in this place
To one debt, though the figures mount the

My debts are one my foe before my face
