Money From Their Garden

Money From Their Garden
When gardening time hit a me
dium-sized Missouri city last spring
two high school students, brother
and sister, set out TO make theirs
a profitable summer vacation by
starting a garden in vacant lot
next door TO their home.
First, they went to the owner Of
the lot and got his permission TO
put a garden on it. Then they
went to work Every inch of the
ground was cultivated. Corn, beans,
peas, tomatoes, potatoes, onions
all the garden vegetables were
planted
Early mornings and late evenings
and Saturdays were spent in taking
care Of the sprouts and when the
crops had become full grown they
wer. taken out and three times a
week, with their baskets over their
arms and in a small hand wagon,
the boy and girl placed their vege-
tables on sale at the neighbor
ladies' doors.
And when the summer came 20
an end, and school started again,
they found after tallying up their
accounts, that they had earned $40
each. besides supplying the family
table with vegetables all through
the season.
Not so bad, was &c

ROGER BABSON PLEADS
FOR MORE EDUCATION
Newspapers, Billboards and Movies
Are Outdoing Schools in D. c.,
Statistician Declares.

Newspapers, billboards and the
movies are educating tho young peo-
pie Of Washington and not tho
schools, Roger W. Babson, economic
expert, told members Of the City Club
at their weekly luncheon yesterday In
the clubhouse.
This is a very serious situation"
he said, "but it is absolutely true. We
all regret the grip that smoking and
powdering have on our scholars. yet
you citizens of Washington have q
big billboard near ono of your schools
boys to smoke and the girls to think
first Of their compilations"
Mr.. Babson spoke on "Educating for
Business" and urged the business
men to give moro personal attention
to the education Of their children and
employees.
1--WE complain about high prices and
poor business" Mr.. Babson added,
"but we are doing mighty well when
you consider that during good times
the statesmen Of America are selling
only Is per cent Of their time: the
railroads are working only 13 per
cent Of their capacity; the telephone
per cent Of the day; while the street
railways carry only per cent Of the
people they might. Nearly 100000
people in this country are paid merely
to keep others from stealing goods
or time.
'"The saddest feature Of all, how
ever, Is that so few people really are
taking advantage Of the great eco
nomic forces which are to business
what tides are to the ocean. Yet this
Is not surprising, when one realizes
that less than per cent Of our popu-
latfon ever go to high school and less
than l per cent ever get q college
education.,'

COLORED MEN EXPRESS
THANKS TO Mr.. WEEKS

Rev. E. D. w. Jones, pastor of the
Union Wesley A. NJ. E. Zion Church
of this city, has written a letter to
Secretary Weeks of the War Depart
ment. expressing the thanks Of the
committee of seven, representing the
colored citizens Of the United States,
'for the courteous treatment and con-
sideration given our race group In hon.
oring our unknown dead soldier" He
said the committee was afforded every
facility for laying q wreath on the cas-
ket at the Capitol and for marching In
the funeral cortege, and 'the officers
were kind. obliging and impartial"
Special acknowledgment was made Of
courtesies extended the colored group
by Gen. H. H. Bandholtz, Coils. Harri-
son Hall. S. c. Babcock and H. N.
Cootes and Maj. Harry Coope.
THE officers and privates on duty
at the Capitol" said Rev. DR.. Jones.
were true to those polite civil ameni-
ties that make the American soldier
the idol Of his country. 1t is this sort
Of civility and this spirit Of fairness
on the part Of men who rank high in
our Army and the councils Of our ma
ton that demands on our part that
loyalty and devotion which have over
characterized the negro in times Of
war and that he never fails to appre-
ciate in the days Of peace"

FORBES INDORSES SALE
OF WORK OF SOLDIERS
Veteran Bureau Head Sends Letter
Commencing Women's Aid for
Wounded Service Men.

That the stamp of official approval
may be put on the sale of the work of
wounded ex-soldiers. this afternoon
and evening, In the parlors of the
Women's City Club, Col. c. r. Forbes.
director Of the Veterans Bureau. has
sent letter to Mrs. Walter ]. Mccoy.
president of the George Baldwin Nc
Coy Unit. American Women's Legion,
under whose auspices the articles are
being sold, expressing his apprecia-
tion.
'Col. Forbes wrote to Mrs. Mccoy
just after his return from the legion
convention in Kansas City. saying:
Il can truthfully say that nothing
has inspired me with more pride in
the noble record of our service men
than the reminder conveyed In your
note, which awaited me, that the ex-
service patients in hospitals through
out the country, men who have al
ready shown their worth to humanity.
are working and making things even
in their days of disablement to dem
onstrate that their usefulness has not
passed from them for all their suffer-
ing and wounds"
Col. Forbes refers feelingly to the
pluck Of the soldiers. and commends
the women of the legion for their en-
erky in giving the public an opportu-
nifty to help out by collecting the
work from the public health hospitals
all over the country and putting it
conveniently on sale. THE success of
the sale, of course" he said, means
brighter Christmas for the men who
are hospital shut-ins.'
