GARDENS URGED TO . : COMBAT BOLSHEVIK! WASHINGTON'. March 17. Americanism illustrated in growing victory gardens is "the best antidote for Bol-i shevilc doctrines." according to the Young Men's Christian Association, which is planning a 1919 compalgn of "Amsrlcanlsm and the speaking of English language, via the Victory garden.? Details of the campaign were completed here today by the National War Garden commission, cooperating with the immigration department of the Young Men's Christian Association in Chicago. Plans also provide i for the showing of the victory garden work in moving pictures throughout j the country. I . To start off the campaign ten thousand garden and canning books have been sent to Chicago, in addition to several thousand posters. The Young Men's Christian Association had 150 acres of industrial gardens last year, and they hope to etter that record this year. . These gardens are 25 by 150 feet. ' "This is one of the most constructive campaigns yet undertaken," said Charles Lathrop Pack, . president of the National War Garden commission today. "Do not forget that the garden produce something besides food. It produces thrift so important to the nation at this time. Then too, it means contented workers everywhere. The man with a victory garden realizes the value of a home and he knows the value of making regular trips to the bank. Then too, the incentive to get out in the open and speak the English language is of tremendous value. "The banks of the country know the home food producer for a good customer and a good citizen. The time to begin making that good citizen is now. The best antidote for BolBhevik doctrine is the production of food for the kitchen door." P. S. Ridsdale, secretary of the National War Garden commission, has just returned from Europe where he spent three months studying the home food production plans. He points out that everything possible must be done in the United States to produce food close to the point of consumption in order that other food stuffs can be shipped long distances can be sent abroad. There are millions in Europe close to the point of starvation, according to reports from abroad. : Siberia, too. is to learn all about victory gardening. Professor W. C. D'Kane,- of the Agricultural college at Durham, N. H., has prepared a garden circular for distribution this summer In Siberia, by the Agricultural Education expedition under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. Pictures form the National War Garden commission victory garden book are used in the book which has been translated into Russian. RELIGIOUS TRAINING . SOUGHT. DETROIT. Mich., March 17.

'We Always Have Exactly What We Advertise"

There is no piece of Jewelry So much desired as-

Jewelry falls within two classes: That which is bought for use and that which is bought to enhance personal charm. . The DIAMOND is in each class and, furthermore, it's in a still higher class the class of investment and, as you know, there is no other piece of jewelry that is such a good investment as a Diamond. This, of course, is very true if the Diamond you purchase is a good Diamond, and if that Diamond comes from the House of Dickinson it's a good Diamond, because at Dickinson's you'll find not a singlo brown, yellow or badly imperfect Diamond. Every Diamond we sell is sold with the Dickinson Guarantee of Satisfaction, and that guarantee has been proven true many times for over 68 years. There are many Diamonds, but no better ones than Dickinson's. May we have the pleasure of showing you Eastern Indiana's largest and most perfect stock? O.

After you've read the news, have you gotten all the valuable information out of it Not until you have read the advertisements. . Reading the advertisements should be just as much a part of your day as reading the news columns. The advertisements in your favorite newspaper are a daily record of what your local merchants have laid in store to meet your needs and add to your comfort. They tell you what the manufacturers of these goods, who are constantly striving to please the great American public, have done to add to your advantages and comforts. The news, while always interesting, may often concern you only in a general way. The advertisements are almost certain to tell you something that may mean a great deal to your home life or your business and social welfare.

one-half billion dollars worth of garden produce last year, Mr, Muerman said. x "What are you In Richmond going to do this year?" he questioned. . The educational value of gardening is to be especially emphasised this year, he said. School gardening Is as Important in knowledge value as is any other study, and the results In terms of consumptive food Is no meager co-efficient. Because of this doublefold campaign for interest In this work is being launched, and will be carried through according to early signs evident In the schools of the United States. "Another Food Year" is the slogan which has a line of followers from coast to coast and Gulf to Canadian border. It appears that Richmond is to join the line with hearty co-operation.

many rrencn i,ouege men Gave Lives in Battle PARIS, March 17. That French Intellectual classes have paid In lives to a fearful extent In the war. was: disclosed In the casualty returns now being analysed according to profes-; sions, is stated in the Paris Journal Intransigeant. The records show that 6,227 Frenchmen prominently engaged in educational pursuits have been killed on the battlefield. Paris alone, the paper adds, has lost 3,878 students' of different universities and colleges, besides 350 Journalists and men of letters. The figures for provincial France are not yet available, but they are said to be very large. Since August 2, 1914, most of the great .educational Institutions of France have been practically closed down, only a few elderly professors and a limited number of younger men unfit for military service, remaining to keep the lamp of knowledge burning. To repopulate universities and col- ' leges without delay, is In the view of the authorities, imperative, if France is to remain in the forefront of intellectual life. M. Laferre, minister of public instruction, promises special facilities for students "as soon as they are demobilized," but the machinery by which men are returned to civilian life Is working very slowly.
