LANT a Liberty garden. Grow your own vegetables. Our country IB needs more food. We must feed ourselves. mT Growing a vegetable garden will be economical ; will reduce the high cost of living ; will enable us to save more meat and more wheat. It will provide us with fresh vegetables during the summer and fall and give us a surplus to can or dry or store for winter. If we do not grow them, we will not have them. Growing a garden will give us healthful, outdoor exercise. It will be patriotic, as we will need more gardens this year than ever before. Every farmer 6houd raise more vegetables; every town dweller should have a garden. We should organize more neighborhood garden clubs. If you have no plot upon which to grow a garden, get permission to use a vacant lot near your home. If possible, get land that was under cultivation last year. Put manure and fertilizer on It. Plow or spade deep. Harrow until the soil is firm and fine. Use a hand rake if the garden is small. Make your plans now. Seeds will be scarce; get them early. You can start beans, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, beets, carrots, egg plants, onions, and peas in window boxes In your home. Make a few holes through the bottom of an old pan or shallow box. Cover

If you use storm windows! on your house, these may be used to cover the hot bed by making the f rame work to fit the windows. By growing seedlings in the house or in a hot bed you can have fresh vegetables from a month to six weeks earlier than Jou otherwise will be able to do. j Plant radishes, lettuce, cabbage, etc., several! tiroes during the season, so that you will have a continuous supply coming on throughout the summer. Rake hoe, cultivate the garden every few diys. This will save moisture

and kill the weeds. l

GITY ASKED TO PAY FOR GUARD

Mayor Zimmerman presented to the Board of Public Works. Monday morning, a summons for the city of Richmond to appear in circuit court, March 6, to answer a complaint of Sheriff Clement V. Carr, asking that the city reimburse him for $112.50 which he spent for a guard to look after Mack Harsh, while in the pest house with smallpox. The matter was referred to City Attorney Robbins. At the time Harsh was being held in the jail, awaiting trial for involuntary manslaughter of his wife, he contracted the smallpox and was placed in the pest house. A guard was placed over him. The city attorney claimed that the matter did not in anyway belong to the city but should be paid by the county as the guard was placed there that he might not escape trial and not because of his having the smallpox. On motion of John E. Peltz the board allowed grocery bills for quarantined smallpox victims amounting to $217.01. City Clerk Stevens was ordered to advertise for bids for a new street Oiler.

Apparently, however, he misjudged his position, for the Florizel rushed on the jageed rocks of Broad Cove on the east side of the island north of the cape. The region is uninhabited and means of rescue were not available.. One wireless message said the steamer was rapidly breaking,, up and nothing more was heard until resme nartips reached ihe scene.

The Florizel, queen of the Newfoundland and Halifax Steamship company, known as the Red Cross line. Built in 1909 at Glasgow, with sloping sheathed bow reinforced by concrete, she had been used in the sealing trade and this winter had done heroic service as an ice breaker in New York harbor. Among the passengers who embarked at St. John's were John Shannon Munn. managing director of the line, and his three-year-old daughter, six cadets of the Royal Flying corps. Major Michael Sullivan, commander of the Newfoundland forestry battalion, and a number of prominent Newfoundland business men.
