"I hope you may be successful, says the president, "in arousing the. interest of the teachers and the pupils in the schools of the United States in the cultivation of home gardens. Every boy and girl who really sees what the home garden may mean will. I am sure, enter into the purpose with high spirits, because I am sure they are in face fighting in France by joining the home garden army. They know that America has undertaken to send wheat and flour, and other foods for the support of the soldiers who are doing the fighting, for tht men and women who are making the munitions, and for the boys and girls of western Europe, and that we must feed ourselves while we are carrying on this war.

Some Saloons to Sell Soft Drinks Pending Supreme Court Ruling

Several Richmond saloonkeepers will remain open, it is said to sell soft drinks and lunches, after the law against the sale of liquor goes Into effect Tuesday night. The purpose of this is merely to await the decision of the supreme court as to the validity of the law. If the law Is declared Invalid the saloonkeepers will all reopen their barB, but If the case Is against them very few will remain in the soft drink business. It Is said that quite a few visitors, who were in the city Saturday, took the occasslon to stock up a bit on account of the closing law. It is likewise to be presumed that a number of Richmond citizens who are fond of the beverage will follow suit before the hour of 12 o'clock Tuesday night. Practically all the saloonkeepers In Wayne county were at the office of the county auditor Monday seeking renewal of their liquor licenses. .The cases were all continued pending the decision of the supreme court regarding the validity of the law. The reason for the saloon men seeking renewal at this time Is because they will save money, an additional cost of advertising not being necessary as would be the case If they awaited until after the decision was made. If the supreme court decides against the saloons of course all of the cases will be automatically dropped.
