A man and his wife who have lost little
boy invite dozen waits to have Christmas
dinner with them - a tree, and presents -
the things they would have had for their own
little boy -.
That was nice going. Old Tolman would
eat it up. Chuck felt he could really get going
on that one.
And there ought to be man-behind-the-
mask story: The real story of street corner
Santa Claus when he goes off duty, takes off
his red-and-white uniform, the whiskered
mask. That one was always good.
Chuck could feel the story coming: We'll
call him John Smith. That's not his name -
but it will do. You probably passed him time
after time on the streets of Lanesburg, hardly
noticing him. But the kids did; they told him
their secrets, their dearest wishes, and John
Smith - Santa Claus - patted them on the
back and chuckled. and promised them in his
husky voice that he'd remember, and do the

He was wondering, as he moved away, what
old Tolman would say if Chuck handed in the
real story of his search for the spirit of

Thank heavens, this was the kind of assign

He had good imagination.
Chuck went over to the public library,

|Wickard Expects Gain
0fMore Than a Million
Vegetable Gardens
Stresses Need of Core
In Home PIontines to
Conserve Supplies

Secretary Of Agriculture Wickard
told the National Defense Garden
Conference here today that his de-
partment had set a goal for 1912
Of IAN increase of about a million
and third home vegetable gardens
on the Nations farms
He emphasized that full' informa-
tion and guidance would be made
available to all prospective garden
ers in order that limited stocks Of
fertilizer, insecticides and seed might
not be wasted on vegetable patches
doomed to failure.
Il do not think the Nation would
benefit at present from widespread
all-out campaign intended to put a
vegetable garden in every city back
yard or on every vacant lot" he said.
Secretary Wickard told the OPEN
ing session of the two-day meeting
in the Agriculture Department au-
ditorium that fertilizers and insecti-
cides are almost sure to be scarce"
because Of chemical demands Of the
munitions industry. Although the
domestic seed industry has expanded
surpluses are not large enough to
permit of unsupervised use, he
added.
"A community garden or a school
garden needs the supervision Of
some one who is familiar with good
gardening practices" he declared.

otic contribution
Federal Security Administrator
McNutt, co-sponsor of the confer
ence with Secretary Wickard be-
cause Of his post as director of the
Office of Defense Health and We'll
fare Services, also addressed the
opening session. He said the Ma
ton is in better position to make
effective use of its food supply than
in 1917 because of increased knowl-
edge.
Prevention OF waste Is at least as
important" as it was then, he stated,
because of the need to provide the
people with proper balance in food.
The conference is being attended
by representatives of garden clubs,
the farm and garden press, research
groups and educational institutions.

Says Special Committee
After Study
Nv the Associated Press.

BY INC hSebtldLtu iVno.
A special committee OF Catholic
bishops, discussing the war aims OF
the Nation, declared yesterday that
victory will mean not a triumph
of might but a benediction for all

Appointed at the annual general
meeting of Catholic archbishops and
bishops last month, the committee Is

Its statement follows:
The Catholic bishops Of the
United States lately appointed q
committee Of bishops to study in the
light of the war aims of our Nation
the Pope's peace points. President
Roosevelt recently said that we will
win the peace. Victory will mean
not a triumph of might but bene-
diction for all the world. We desire
no conquest, we seek vengeance on
no peoples. Our armed forces,
backed by a united Nation, are
struggling valiantly and courage
ously to the victory for things which
were given to the world on the first
Christmas when, through the gates
OF Virgin Mother, the Prince OF
Peace came and walked this earth.
1t Is for peace that we are fighting
and there is no contradiction in our
war and humble alteration before
the crib of Bethlehem.
This Bishops Committee, without
entering the realm of craftsmanship,
will try to make clear the indis-
pensable postulates for a just peace
enunciated by our holy father, Pope
Plus XII. leaving to statesmen the
details of the peace treaty. Its work
is to try to help. as becomes church.

instrument of Almighty God for the
setting up Of a new era in which
