A communication from headquarters
says: "Please plan your finances so as
to continue knitting. We must knit
without cessation. The men in the
trenches and the men on the seas, as
wed as the new enlisted army, are to
be eared for. Make two pairs of socks
to one each of other knitted garments.
There is a great lack of woolen socks
and bed slippers, which are absolutely
necessary to keep the men in health.
Captain Thaxton of Port Leavenworth
writes: 'The men ko to bed with cold
feet, sleep poorly and have sore throats
as a result If they had woolen socks
to wear by day and woolen slippers to
put on at night our sick call would be
reduced from 10 to 20 per rent.' ”,

GARDEN PERILS.
I've spaded up my acre lot to
make a wartime garden; 'twill be
the smoothest little plot you ever
saw a bard in. I’ve sown the kind
of boneless greens that used to
please our daddies, and I have beds
of peas and beans and leeks and
finnan baddies. .And neighbors
come along and say. “In vain is all
your toiling I For vagrant hens
will come this way. your treasured
garden spoiling. And <togs will
come, and on«e or twice they'd
wallow in your lettuce; then you'll
recall our sage advice, ah, then you
won't forget us! And when the
moonlight, white, intense, the world
in silver washes, a cow will climb
your garden fence, and eat your
Hubbard squashes. Some night a
horse, from halter free, perhaps a
gray with dapples, will come and
climb up yonder tree and swallow
all your apples. And hogs will
come from distant pens, long lea-
gues they’ll come a-kiting, to eat
the onions that the hens passed
up as uninviting. Oh, we have
raised such garden sass, to feed
such vagrant varmints, and vve have
wept and cried 'Alas!' and torn our
beards and garments.” It's such
encouragement as this I get when
I am hoeing, and it destroys the
peaceful bliss 1 felt, to see things
growing.

The user of a Victrola has instant access to the
world’s best music. He has at his elbow the great-
est of artists to render their genius for himself and
friends.
The music of the Victrola may be heard every
where—in the palaces of kings, in your home and
mine. The Victrola is universally appreciated be-
cause it is the most perfect of musical instruments.
No other instrument covers such a wide variety of
music or affords the privilege of hearing the world’s
greatest artists.
