Snow Makes War Gardens, Crow.
In the (rood old days "befo' th
wah." when rain came in April and
Rowers came in May, we used to say:
Aprl. ahawara
Bring May flowara.
... Now, however, that war has come,i
as jf to harmonize with its cold and
desolate outlook, a deluKC of snow
descends the last of April, so that we
are forced to change the rhyme to
read: -
April now
Makes thing? trow.
The "things" referred to. of course,
are the radishes and onions, the peas
and the beans and the dozens of other
vdclectable vegetables which are
growing in our war-time - gardens.
When the United States may be
catled-uoon to orovision the world
and when the food dictator, of the
globe may be a plain United States
citizen, who isn't enthusiastic about
raising . gardens and who isn't glad
for every bit of moisture which may
Help them to grow
Omaha society people have been
loyally responding to the president's

them to the cause. Others who have
always had their gardens arc renew
ing or enlarging them. Mrs. Luther
Jvounlie has a beautiful and ornamen
tal garden, which will bloom more
luxuriantly than ever this yeaff. Mrs.
C. B. Rustin always has in addition to
her flowers her little utility garden.
Mrs. T. L. Kimball's vegetable gar
den is ever a tempting sight, for it
fairly overflows with good things to
eat. The S. P. Bostwick's are said to
have a splendid garden each year.
Mrs. Clarke Coit has a garden.
Fairacres people and people who
have country homes nearby have
glorious gardens, nearly all of which
are , beint; enlarged this year. The
George Brandeis', the Join L. Ken
nedys, the. J. A. Sunderlands, all
come in the former division. John
Latenser has his farm near Florence,
which is a great asset in time of war.
The F. P. Kirkendalls and the Myron
Learneds have gardens in the
country.
Many people are considering the
advisability of planting potatoes in
their front yards. One prominent
matron, whose name shall remain un
known, asked her maid' whether it is
very hard to raise potatoes. "Oh,
my, no,'""vwas her Vnswer. "Well,
we'd better have the lawn plowed up,"
the mistress concluded. "The only
thing is that you have to pick off the
bugsX volunteered the maid. "Bugs!"
said the mistress, throwing up her
hands in horror, "we will have no
potatoes." '

SOMEBODY tells us, and gives us things to
make a picture about telling us that because
we see the robin of the tawny waistcoat and
the military carriage, abroad on the lawn under sky
of robin's egg-blue, before the buds have swelled,
we need not think summer is here, "One swallow
does not make a summer." But one bathing girl does
that.
She and the wild geese, and the mother of all
the winds and Time's great grandmother, they know
her Vhen Summer uncurls in her tree-root nest and
opens her forget-me-not eyes for good. The first
bathing girl on the coasts is as stir-.- sign of sum-
mer as the first barefoot boy in the inland plains.
Summer and the small boy never step out on the
highway barefoot until the soft sand that squidges
up between their rosy toes is warm.
And the bathing girl never breaks the emerald
surface of the sea until the air is Summer's own
breath. So when you see her the1 first girl in black
satin and mermaidy hair, where the sea comes in
and whispers to the sand of coral necklaces and am
ber root then may you know, hopeful young sir,
that Summer is here for good. ,
