Members of the East Potomac Park
Garden club, 1t Washington, d. c.,
paid themselves last year 80 cents an
hOur In vegetables as a result of their
efforts on 40 by 1OOfoot garden plots.
There were 300 of these home gardens,
producing an average return Of $S4
worth of vegetables, or at the rate of
SS4O an acre. Not half bad, when 1t
Is considered that the average acre of
farm land in the United States yields
a gross return Of a little less than $40.
The a"ll-important point, however, is
that 300 families, or 1900 people,
were fed with fresh vegetables during
the summer, and a supply was canned
or stored for winter use.
Thousands upon thousands Of home
gardens were an important factor last
year in supplying food, and it is i'm
portant that many more thousands of
gardens be placed in 1920. With food
prices still soaring. it behOoves every
householder TO plant a garden and
grow his W supply OF vegetables.

lated houses and is most often con-
tracted by birds that are poorly de-
veloped and of low vitality. Fowls Of
this type frequently get roup and are
the means Of spreading 1t through

should consist of eliminating the
weaklings from the flock and provid-

the United States Department Of

An additional prevention against
this disease is the following: Add

to each gallon Of drinking water and
keep before the fowls. This acts as
an antiseptic amt will help to keep
the birds in good condition. An at

majority of cases, there may be an
apparent cure, the danger of reinfec-

birds cause the disease to spread

policy is Immediately 20 remove such
birds from the i&ock and kill them as
soon as they show the first symptoms,
recognized by watery discharge
from the nostrils or eyes.

Cash transactions in the banks
throughout China are all handled by
Cinnamon, called cOmpradores, who
100000 to $25O,OOO, according to the
status of the house and the amount of
financial business transacted. The
clerks, usually sent out from London,
examine the drafts, checks or letters
presented at the counter in the bank
and, after initiating them for payment,
the compradores hand out the money.
On account of the "chit" system,
which means credit until the first Of
the month, the employees of the banks
are usually in debt to the compradores,
and in many cases when the time
comes, at the end Of five years con-
tinuous service, to go home on six
months leave at full pay, the clerk is
not able to go because he owes too
much to the cOmpradore and has to
use his vacation money to pay his
debts.

KEEP DUCKS AND GEESE BUSY
Feed Enough to Keep Them In condi-
ton and Leave Them Eager for
Something More.

After the birds are mated, prefer
ably not later than December 1, keep
them active. Their ration should be
bulky, using about one-ffth Of green
stuff. They should not be fed all they
can eat, but enough to keep them in
condition and leave them eager for
food.
They do better on cracked corn
than on a ration of cornmeal only. II
ducks and geese are wintered In good
condition, and mated early, there
should be no difficulty in getting fer
tile eggs. Too early eggs are not de-
sirable. Ducks especially lay very
early in the mor1ing, and the very
early eggs are apt to freeze.

Lives Threatened Many Times.
Time and again thereafter Mr.. Bar

On May % the Bolsheviki decided
to kill or torture every soul in the
village. They had learned Of the ad-
vance Of Japanese troops, with rein
forcements. The Bolsheviki burned
the city to the ground, and then, de-
stroying the mining camps, fed into
the hills.
At this junction the commander Of
a Chinese gunboat, which had been
icebound In the Amur river during
the winter demanded that the foreign
ers be delivered to him. While the
baggage and few valuables Of the for
eigners were being loaded into open
boats three Bolshevist cutters came
alongside and opened fire. A vigorous
engagement followed. Luckily for the
fugitives the Chinese were victorious
The Chinese succeeded in landing
the refugees at an obscure port, how
ever, from which they soon left in
a dilapidated Japanese freighter.
They learned later that the Bolshev-
Xxi had returned to the city after the
gunboat had left, had killed all the
remaining Russian children at the
mines, and carried off their mothers
as slaves into the woods.

MANY TIMES NEAR DEATH
Americans and British in Siberian
Mining Camps Have Miraculous
Escapes From Massacre-Rescued
by Chinese Gunboat.

Seattle, Wash.-With narrowing eX-
periences and tales of terror, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. n. Barker of Vancouver, B.
c.. arrived here, after three years
amid the Bolsheviki of eastern Rus
STA. For two months, as prisoners
of the Bolshevist leader Ghiroloff and
his wife, Nina, they lived in hourly
peril of their lives, and were finally
rescued with sixteen other foreigners,
by a Chinese gunboat.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barker set sail for
vladivostok in the latter part Of
March,, 1917. They arrived In Mix
Olaievsk in June of the same year,
and soon after Mr.. Barker assumed
the position of assistant manager of
a mining camp in the Orsk gold fields
belonging to British company 60
miles from Nikolaievsk.
Nikolaievsk is far cry from PetrO-
grad, so the overthrow of the car
made little difference in the daily life
at the mining camp on the Amur. In
October, 1913, Admiral Kolchak took
over the administration of that Sec
ton, and soon after Japanese gar
rison quietly took possession of Nix
olaievsk. According to Mrs. Barker,
1t was after the overthrow Of KOlchak
that trouble began. One day Ghiroloff
appeared at the head of a band Of
BOlsheviki and unceremoniously took
over the mines. At the same time
Reds Overran Nikolaievsk territory.
Reign of terror ensued, during which
no ones life was safe.
Work of Vengeance.
In March last an arrangement was
concluded between the japanese gar
rison and the Reds, whereby the lat
ter were to hand over their arms for
one day. on which the Bolsheviki pro-
posed TO hold funeral services for
their fallen soldiers. The day was
set, but instead Of fulfilling their part
of the agreement the Japanese sur
rounded the headquarters Of the Reds
"a hours before the exercises were
to have been held and wiped out the
entire headquarters staff of the Boil
sheviki.
Next day the enraged Reds began
their work Of vengeance Streets were
strewn with bodies of slain Japanese
