THRIFT GARDENS SHOULD BE MADE NUMEROUS THIS YEAR Don't forget . that thrift garden this year. It was a war necessity, but it is equally valuable in peace time. < The war has taught a lot of lessons that should not be forgotten now that peace has come. The nation has learned thrift and will continue to practice it, in order to have more money, X Thrift gardens saved millions for the householder, they conserved and added to the food supply and gave many persons a healthy and inexpen- sive form of outdoor exercise.

(United Press Correspondent.) Paris., (By Mail.)-—Stephen Lau- sanne, editor of ‘‘Le Matin’ considers that it will be impossible ever to rec- oncile the Monroe doctrine with the idea of a League of Nations, He sald in Le Matin:" “If things continue to go as they are going now Monroe will finish the biggest figure in the peace confer- ence, At present his is the only figure before which everybody bows. “Who was Monroe? ‘““Monroe was born in a carpenter shop and as time went on, engaged in most all the trades. He was col- onel, lawyer, merchant, judge, am- bassador, secretary of state, More- over, he did all of them well, “In 1817 he became president of the United States, “About that time a political tem- pest was blowing stiong in the Old World. United under the name of the ‘Holy Alliance,’ the European governments talked of nothing less than the establishment of an abgolu- tism, first in Europe, then in America, “Monroe saw storm-clouds coming his way and called his old friend, Thomas Jefferson, philosophers’ d’'Alembert and Condorcet, to a con- sultation. Whereupon Jefferson wrote: “ ‘America, both North and South, as interests absolutely distinct from those of Europe and which belong to her alone, It is necessary, therefore, to establish the principles of a sy§- tem which shall keep these interes$s separate from those of the ;Qld World.
