HOME SCHOOL GARDENS

AS a substitute for the school gar
dcns, the U. S. Bureau Of Education
will organize home school gardens
tbs year, and school children will be
encouraged in every way to plant gar
d,ns in their back yards. In this
way it is planned to develop individ-
ual pride in the gardens and thereby
make them successful. The school
officials will keep some supervision
over the work of the children, adj
hsing them and helping every pos
sible way. The gardening will be
correlated closely with the school
work and emphasis will be placed on
the educational benefits to be deriv-
Ell from productive work rather than
oil the production itself.
The work will be under the direc-
ton Of Prof. A. L. Mathews, head Of
the department OF rural education at
the University of Utah. He has re-
Gently been appointed director OF the
work for Utah, Idaho and Wyoming.
IN the latter state the plan has al
1. ady been tried out one year and
they are enthusiastic over the results.
MIR. Mathews hopes to establish in
Utah the same interest and success,
, end is now busy organizing the diff
f,,ent towns OF the state for this
season.

Kill the Name,

Scientists are trying to squeld
new epidemic. discovered In Jir
and called the "tsutsugamushl."
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-12-22

The real inside of the private
lives of political leaders is seldom
known to the people as is proven in
the case of Cortland Wainwright, a
successful district attorney whose
every prospect indicated he would
be elected governor of his state by
an overwhelming majority. One of
the cases which helped him most
in his progress toward political pro-
motion was the conviction >of one
Henry Aliens brother for murder.
This same victory nearly caused his
total undoing later when, after five
years of intensive effort, the master
genius of the master mind possessed
by the demonstrating Allen
brought about the veritable packing
of the district attorneys home with
notorious crooks. Even his wife had
a past police record, while his faith
er-in-law and mother-in-law were
professional counterfeiters. His
brother-in-law, posing under the
name of Walter Blount, IA really
Willie, a lifelong pick
pocket and con man,
1t was right in the midst of VAIN
wright's campaign as a guberna-
torial candidate that the master
mind disclosed the result of his
