'of hard labor in bringing their 'gar- ;den to its present condition. We re- call, not so long ago, when a prom- inent horticulturist was visiting in the city, the Legion men had him look over their property and make any suggestions which might. be help- ful in making a garden. His report was not very encouraging. The place was an ideal one, he agreed, but it would take a tremendous amount of work to put it into shape, and would also cost a lot of money. It was. not a pleasant prospect for men, most of whom worked all day, and who did not have a great deal of money to spend. They might have been ex- cused for deciding that the garden idea was too ambitious a project at that. time. Instead of that, they roll- ed up their sleeves and went to work. Progress was slow at first, and they did a lot of work without seeing any remarkable results at first. But they stuck to their work, and their efforts were rewarded. One of the proudest moments the life of the Legion came when the fountain, which was erected by one of the members, was unveiled. Yes, the Legion might have been excused for seeding down their prop- erty and calling it a day. But they were not looking for excuses. Charles T.

Possibly the advance in the price would be the very best reason to offer for this condition. In the first place April 1, was the date set, by which time radio licenses were to have been purchased. However, due to the fact that all new forms had to be printed, the different dealers received word that the licenses would be late in forth- coming and that, for that reason the date had been set forward to June 1, which was Wednesday. One of the dealers in the city has sold about three hundred licenses so far and reports that the requests are coming in very slow- ly for them.
