In a letter to comrades In the
American Legion, Bazaar said: "I

smile and no worry, coupled with nn
insatiable desire to get somewhere,
Imvo helped me surmount most of my

Premature explosion of n defective
hand grenade nt Fort St. Mange,

CENSUS OF EX-SERVICE MEN
Five Million Questionnaires to Be Used
In Obtaining Views on Compen
sation Drive.
A nation-wide census of ex-service
men will be taken by the American
Legion. Five million questionnaires
have been printed for use in the Le
gion's "service and compensation"
drive, which will aim toward the com
pilation of vital statistics and which
should afford a definite Indication of
the exact cost of providing compensa
tion to all veterans.
Tho various state organizations of
tho Legion will conduct their drives
separately, and nt their own date.
Every man Interviewed by tho census
taker will be informed of tho five op

. .following colloquy occurred between
.the magistrate nnd a talesman :
A "You aro a property holder?"
"Yes, your honor."
"Married or single?"
"I have been married for five years,
.your honor."
"Have you formed or expressed any
.opinion?"
"Not for flvo years, your honor,"

FRIEND OF THE LEGION MEN
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landls of
Illinois Demands Square Deal
for the Ex-Soldlers.
"Tho life of
rosewnter nnd
a judge Is not nil
violets," Kcncsnw
Mountain Landls,
who recently re-
si g n c d, swears.
The virile Illinois
ox-Judge wns used
to being "between
the devil nnd the
deep blue seu," so
many were tho
decisions lie was
compelled to give.
Much of (he lat
ter day vitality of
this sturdy pi
oneer is thrown
townrd getting n squnro deal for ex
service men. Judge Landls has up
penrcd before scores of American
Legion posts to speak for tho ca.ise of
rehabilitation nnd reconstruction.
"During the wnr I thought the peo
ple of Amerlcn were made over," ho
snld recently, addressing tho Blooming
ton, III., commerce body. "Everyone
got ills feet oft the ground. Everyone
wanted to know, 'How can I best
serve'? They gave so thut the soldier
In tho trench could strike his heaviest
blow. But with the armistice, all this
went down in cold-blodcd selfishness.
If this Isn't corrected, we will have
won the fight but lost the war!"
Judge Lundls, ns baseball commis
sioner, reinstated Joe Harris of the
Cleveland Indlnns, ruling that his be
ing passed In the wnr caused him to
do things that ho otherwise would not
have done.

will happen that the unsuspecting
doughboy, rounding the base of the
Wichita mountains In prosy Oklahoma
will stumble upon this vision In real
life.
A faithful reproduction of a French
village is planned at Medicine park,
near Lawton, Okla., as a rccrentlon
ground for members of tho Amerlcnn
Legion. Its hotcl-de-vllle will have an
auditorium seating 1,000, nnd .plans

Water and electric lights have been
donated toward tho project by a citi

SETTING PLANTS AND
FROM COLDFRAME
TO YOUR GARDEN
Plants Should Be Accustomed to
the Outside Conditions
Before Setting.
PROTECTION MAY BE NEEDED
Boxes or Small Boards Will Save From
Sun, Wind and Frost Water Be
fore Transplanting Carry Con.
talners to Place for Planting.
It is assumed thnt the wlde-nwnke
gnrdener has been .busy long before
the wcathor Is warm enough to- sow
any seeds in the open ground; thnt
a window box or hotbed has been pro
vided, and that a supply of plants of
tomatoes, peppers, early cabbage, and
eggplant are under way to set In the
garden as soon as danger of frost Is
past.
If plenty of south window space Is
available, tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture advises that such
crops as snap beans, cucumbers, musk
melons, and even sweet corn may be
started In llower pots, paper bands or
berry boxes filled with good soli, and
they will be of considerable size by
tho time the air Is warm enough to
plant them outdoors. Plants that
grow In the house or In the hotbed
must be hardened or adapted to outdoor,
conditions before they are set In the
open ground. Tills Is accomplished
by gradually exposing them t to the
open air during tho warmer part of
the day and later at night, care being
taken that they are not caught by a
sudden cold snnp.
Hardening Early Plants.
When the plants nre grown In boxes
or trnys, the boxes mny be carried into
tho open each day and the plants al
lowed to become gradually accustomed
to -tho outdoor conditions. If they are
In u hotbed or coldframe, the sash or
other cover Is lifted off during the day
and rcplnced at night. Later the cov
ering Is left off entirely; however, It
should be kept -close at hand to bo put
on at any time that the wenther should
turn cold.
Plants set In the open ground may
bo protected from frost by turning
small boxes over them nnd covering
the boxes with a little earth. Old
berry boxes are Bomctlmes used for
this purpose, but should be covered
completely with soil, ns the plnnts will
freeze Just as readily underneath tho
exposed boxes ns If left In the open
without nny cover whatever. A good
method of protecting plants Is by set
ting n common roofing shingle or n
smnll piece of bonrd nt an angle over
each plant. These shingles can be set
on tho side to protect tho plants from
tho sun during the daytime, or they
may bo placed on the opposite side In
order to protect tho plants from the
wind nnd allow the sunshine to reach
them.
In some enses gardeners have pro
vided small frninos, on the top of
which nre fitted single panes of glass,
and ono of theso frames Is set over
each plant or hill to protect It. Tho
glass should be so arranged that It
citn be partially removed during the
wnrmer part of the day In order to
prevent the temperature becoming too
high Inside the frame. These protec
tors give good results when used over
hills of cucumbers, muskmelons and
summer squashes, ns well ns over
plnnts of sweet popper, eggplant nnd
tomatoes.
Points to Remember.
There are a few points In connection
with the transplanting of house-grown
plants to the garden that nre worthy
of special attention. In the first place,
tho plnnts to bo transplanted should
be watered a few hours before they
ire to, be handled; this will cause the

TRAINING TO STAKES
dirt to adhere to tho roots nnd glvo
them n better stnrt when they are
planted out. If the plants are grown
in flower pots, In paper bands, or
berry boxes, they should ho carried to
the garden In their containers. Pot
grown plants should be loosened by
Inverting them gently and knocking
the edge of the pot on something solid.
Tho plants then nre set with the ball
of earth adhering to their roots.
If the plants havo been grown In pa
per bands or berry boxes, tho sides
of tho bands or boxes should be silt
with a knife nnd removed ns the plants
nre sot. Where the plnnts nre grown
In trnys or In n hotbed, a knife should
bo run between the rows, cutting tho
enrth In both directions, nnd ench
plnnt lifted with a cube of enrth at
tached to its roots.
Use Fresh Furrows.
The holes or furrows In which the
plants nre set should not be made un
til ready to transplant tho plants. If
made too soon, the soil will dry out
nnd cnuse the plants to wilt. Under
all circumstances, It pays to apply a
little water around the roots of each
plant as It Is set; this causes the soil
to fcrm a close contact with the roots
of the plant. After the water has
soaked Into tho soil, dry earth should
be filled In around the plnnt and
slightly Armed. Plnnts set in this
manner will Invariably start without
wilting.
It is always a good Idea to have a
few more pluuts tltnn nre required for
filling the spnee In tho garden, In or
der to repluco any that dlo or are de
stroyed by Insects.
BOYS AND GIRLS' GARDENS
Youngsters Gain Valuable Knowledge
From Tilling the Soil; Increase
the Food Supply.
Junior gardeners nnd members of
tho boys nnd girls' clubs havo been
important factors in Increasing Amer
icn's food supply. In many cities this
work hns been Joined with the school
gnrden movement. This kind of work
not only produces moro food hut teaches
the youngsters self-dependence and tho
vnlue of work.
Teachers havo reported thnt tho ef
fort with the boys nnd girls has been
more thnn repaid by the knowledge
of Nature gained by the pupils. Both
the bureau of education, through the
schools, and tho United States De
partment of Agriculture, through the
boys and girls' clubs, aro giving offi
cial help to the Junior garden move

Sunflowers have not received the at
tention they deserve. The tall-growing,
large-flowered sorts, ns well ns

useful when skillfully employed In
mixed plantations with other herba
