War Gardens Every day should disclose new evi- dence of the intention of the people of Wilmette space to plant gardens with the in- who have available tention of caring for them so effect- ively that they may be made the source of the main food supply for the year. There are few things to which the soil in this vicinity is unsuited. Al- most anything that one wishes to grow may be grown, provided one understands the conditions necessary to the individual case. The gardener who expects results for his work will find out what these conditions are and determine his ability to meet them before he enters upon the work of planting. Actual food shortage is unknown to the American of today, except to the very poor in the city slums. What acquaintance we may have with it in the future depends pretty largely upon how much effort we expend to supply our own needs. 'that fruit helps just that much in the Every kitchen garden bears solution of the food question with which we shall certainly be faced next year. We ought to have learn- ed a little of the lesson of increased production from the difficulty which has been experienced for the last few months in securing adequate quantities of sugar, flour and those other things which have been affect- ed by war and transportation con- ditions. We ought to know enough to adopt every possible means of escaping a repetition of this winter's experience.

BRITISH WOMEN LABOR (Continued from page one.) same". Asked to what she would do after the war she said, "O, I will be too old then, but of one thing I am sure. I will never again be con- tent to be idle". So it will be with all the women that are working. They have tasted the joy of doing some- thing worth while and idleness and a useless existance will have no charms for them. After her husband returns to the front she will go back to her work. All of England's lands and stock are being taken care of by women. Miss C---- one of the nurses here who did six months work in military hospitals in Eng- land said, that the titled women came to the hospitals daily and did the scrubbing. There is nothing that the women of England will not do to help their country win the war. I have had such a pathetic letter from a man to whom I sent one hundred Francs, from money sent over bya Winnetka friend. His family had suffered so much during their exile in Germany. I want to get his complete address before sending it to Mrs. B. A nice letter from Miss D. with the valentine money from her girls in Girton school. My love to you and all Winnetka helpers, AB. Brown. Patriot Articles which recently appeared in the daily press and which listed the name of W. C. Schultz as a socialist and as such an opponent of the war program of the United States, have been the cause of considerable em- barrassment to W. Schultz, superin- tendent of Public Works, who desires to be listed as a patriot and one enthusiastically in accord with Uncle Sam's fighting principles.

The universal col- lection of rubbish which has been made every two weeks during the past eight months has kept the Vil- lage in a much cleaner condition than is ordinarily the case at this time of the year, but there are numerous accumulations of discarded household fixtures, tin cans and other rubbish, particularly in vacant lots, which should be cleaned up. All material to be carted away should be as | placed by the residents in boxes, bar- and set out | rels, or other containers, on the parkways. Special wagons will be put on during the week, and will collect promptly "ail material so placed. WOMEN ANNOUNCE $28,000 SUBSCRIBED FOR BONDS Entire Village is Being Canvassed to Boost Loan The sale of $28,000 worth of Liberty bonds has been reported by local women who are busy canvassing the Village in the effort to put Winnetka "Over the top" with the Third Liber- ty loan. The women are devoting several hours each day to getting the cam- paign well under way and the results of their efforts are expected to be evidenced in an appreciable advance before another week of the cam- paign expires. Soliciting among the women of the Village is under the supervision of Mrs. Allan I. Wolff who has district- ed the town and appointed captains and teams to make a thorough can- vass. Sales of bonds among the men of the Village is in charge of F. God- dard Cheney and though no figures as to the amount already sold have been announced it is said the work is going on very satisfactorily.
