A Garden Lesson.

Last spring, the writer of this piece
grudgingly gave space in his flower
garden for 5-cent package Of lettuce
seed
They came up happily, uneTudging
ly, and inasmuch as they nestlea among
the flowers they were given a reason
able amount of cultivation. From
May Is until July Is lettuce from that
tiny bed graced the wife s table every
single day in goodly eating quantities.
Midsummer heat made the hard seed
stalks grow, but no matter, from July
Is until September Is the stalks yield
ed leaves for the bases of salads and
for various purposes, decorative among
others. When it was all over, the mis-
tress of the home announced that if she
had purchased all the lettuce used dur
ing that four months from her grow
er it would have cost SIG.
This is offered as just little lessor
to the city householder. You can have
q very respectable, money saving vege-
table garden on very small plot of
ground. Six feet square will carry
half dozen different kinds Of vegetables
and require very little attention and
work. A patch 10 by 8 is better be-
cause it would be no more labor to the
man or woman who is willing to take
care of six feet square.
The fact is well known that the con-
sumner pays twice the price that the
truck man gets for his garden stuff.
But when you raise your own stuff, you
cut out the profits of both the truck
gardener and the grocer.
/ Moreover, you get your vegetables
fresh with all the delicious original
flavor.
(, You get health from the little exer-
else in the fresh air
And you re poor stick if you don t
obtain pleasure in seeing your own
things grow and grow and grow.
Get ready for little bit of garden
the coming spring.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-The Dublin
of old is no more; the city now re-

land is a battlefield.
Patrick J. Dee, who has been on

brings this information back to Chi

turbed sections of Ireland and
mounrs the loss of "ten pounds,

"Ireland is worse now than Bel
gium was under German rule" said
Dee at his home here. "There are
very few trains running. The people
refuse to transport munitions, sold
iers and supplies.
British motor trucks. heavily ar
mored are blocked at every turn by
huge trees thrown across roads"
Militarists, Dee said, have recently
made it practice to "shoot up"
town as soon as they enter it.
"About 70 per cent of the police
barracks" Dee continued, have been
burned, and the police are resigning
rapidly. They are replaced by re-
Gently discharged British soldiers"
Due to a remarkable espionage
system, Dee said, the Sim Fein is
able in most cases to anticipate Brit

"The people are so united in their
desire to fight for se|f-determina-
tion that the militarists have been
unable to get single conviction on
any recent killings. Extremely high
prices prevail everywhere. Land,
