If “Plamt a Garden” is the popular slogan, based on stern necessity, the Children’s Home youngsters do not in- tend to lag behind, Back yard gardens are being planted and tended by the boys on the grounds of the Babies’ Home on Arch street and the Boys' Home on Corbin avenue. But the biggest garden of all is at Rackliffe Helghts, where corn and beans and eighteen bushels of seed potatoes are going into the ground. Twenty-five boys worked like Trojans under prop- ago, to get the ground ready for plant- er direction one Saturday a few weeks ing. *The girls were not to be outdone in all this and one day this week 2 group of the older girls tried their hand at planting potatoes. They say they had a regular picnic doing it, too, and they're. waiting eagerly for a othep chance. . The Boys' club boys are planning to help out by raising potatoes on their Curtis street lot for the Chil- dren’s Home also. All of this garden produce, and more too, is sure to be needed next winter at the Home. Fifteen of the Hart street girls went on a hike lately, exploring the Cat-hole road. They met a ferocious dog which, being outside the city limits, did not even have a muszzle hanging from his neck, and his lack of cordiality hastened their steps and caused them to choose another route homeward. A group of High school girls visited both the Hart Street Home and the Babies’ House not long ago, to see how a good home for children is con- ducted. During their stay some of the little tots, headed by an embryo kindergartner, entertained them with songs about the sandman .and the pumpkin vine. A' friend donated recently twenty- five flag stones for a walk to take the place of the muddy path in front of the Rackliffe Heights Home, and during the week thirty-five fine Nor- way maples have been planted on the grounds under the direction of the City Tree Commission. Flags have been donated for three of the houses, but there is none for the little girls and none for the Ba- bies' House.. It does seem .as if Old Glory ought to float over every one of the five houses gnd surely the ba- biles and little girls need it just as much as the others. PROTECT MUNICIPAL FARM G. M. Landers Explains New Law mmmmum Those Who Imterfcre With Work. George M. Landers, a member of the Connecticut Committee of Food Supply and also a member of the mu- nicipal farm committee, two organiza- tions who aim td increase the food supply of ithe state and city, informed the members of the local committee last night that positive steps have al- ready been taken by the state legis- lature to protect all farms, both state, municipal and private, from thefts and other depredations. 'The legisla- ture has passed a strict law making it & crime for anyone even to trespass on farm gardens and a maximum pen- alty of $100 fine, six months in jail or both has been provided. Mr. Lan- ders expressed -the opinion that the very first transgressors of this law wil] be severely dealt with by the po- lice court judges and magistrates to set an example and discourage any further molesting of gardens. The dill ag passed provides: *If any person shall during the time of the war, either upon a field, garden or land of:another, sown, planted or cul- tivated with grain, vegetables, fruit, articles of food or substances used in the preparation of food, with Intent to retard or injure the growth of | prduct or: the sofl of such fleld, gar- { den or 1and, he shall b6 fined not more than $100, ‘or- be imprisoned not ex- ceeding six or both.” ‘This rule,”the committee agreed, will, serve to. protect the municipal farm to & great extent and should dis- courage any vandalism of maliciously disposed persons.

COUNCIL FAYORS FARM City Fathers Vote to Appropriate $16,- 000 for the Cultivation of Food- stuffs—Ordinance Changed. The common council, at its ad- Jjourned meeting last night, voted in favor of appropriating $16,000 to be used for ‘the municipal farm in Stan- ley Quarter, thus supporting the mayor's plans and following the rec- ommendation of the board of finance which agreed to the appropriation on the estimate that this money will be returned from the sale of crops. Rules were suspended and the dis- cussion of the project was informal. Mayor Quigley explained what has already been done and outlined the plans for the future. Alderman Cur- tis said that while the idea of the plan is most commendable he did not care to vote in favor of it for ssveral reasons. In the first place he did not think the plan was strictly in accord with the law and in the second place he opposes on general principles all municipal projects. Also, he said, he expects that before the summer is over the committee will come before the council seeking an additional ap- propriation | Alderman . Paonesst made a strong plea in favor of the municipal farm and Alderman May, although he was in favor -of the gen- eral idea, wanted to be assured as to the method of crop distribution. He wanted to be assured that distribution of crops would be fair and he sug- gested that those who work long and faithfully on the farm should receive some preference over those who do not. An ordinance change proposed by the ordinance committee whereby 11:30 p. m. shall be the hour when flluminated signs and marques shall be shut off, and designating nine feet over the walk as the height at which such signs must be installed was adopted. o ZIONIST CONGRESS RALLY.
