One day she decided to use
some of the acres for a vegeta-
able garden and, after much ado
end reading of catalogues, or
dered every kind of seed that
she might use. After the plant
ing and consequent growing, it
dawned upon Mrs. Giffen and
her faithful retainers that she
not only had all the vegetables
that she and her entire family
might ever need, but three times
as much, over.
In sheer desperation, Mrs. Gift
fen collected a carful of vegeta.
bleS one day, sailed into Annap-
oils, sold them promptly, to her
neVer-ending surprise and-from
that day on, has been full
fledged farmer.

is planning to remain in Annap-

it. The State of Colorado

so when he left recently to go
for duty to the West Coast, he
arranged to stop over in Colo

self the former Daisey Reed,
daughter of Gen. Walter Reed
and granddaughter of the IA

seems that not so very long ago
Mrs. Reed was in Walter Reed
Hospital and General Reed
phoned out there and asked to
speak to her.
who is it calling?" asked the
voice on the other end of the
phone. General Walter Reed"
was the truthful reply. There
was just seconds pause, then,
$50 what" came back the bored
reply on the other end of the
phone. And-it took General
Reed no end of time to convince
the bored voice that he was
exactly who he said he was!
