Unless ' volun- teer farmers, men who have the real interest of the city at heart, come for- ward in greater numbers than they have done thus " far the crop will suffer for the want of attention or else paid laborers will have to be en- gaged. It is to the advantage of thé citizens at large that volunteer help cultivate this farm as far as possible for inasmuch as the potataes are to be sold to the citizens at\cost it s evident that each additional dollar ex- pended in raising the crop will boost | the price to the consumer just that much, On Thursday of last week there were threé or four volunteer workers present and on Friday eighteen me: warked . faithfully. On Satu: however, there was a distinct falling oft and but two men appeared. The warm weather is forcing. the crop along fast, and the weeds as well, so Chairman . Tallard must have work- men to hoe the potatoes at once. Considerably more than 100 men signed their names as volunteers when the.farm project was first introduced, but as yet a very small percentage af :hu number have Tesponded to the To Popularize Hoeing, The mayor and’ other ofllchlq inter- ested in the success of/this farm are endeavoring to formulate plans to popularize working at the far: It has been:suggested that & score or more of local physicians, if they saw fit, could devote two ‘hours each morning early, or late in the after- noon to working on the farm in Ifeu of playing tennis or some othpr pas- time and thus at the same time get excellent physical recreation and do something for the government. An- other plan is to interest lawyers and other profg¢ssional men as well as cer- tain clerks and men who are able to spare the time, inasmuch as this farm is a vast co-operative proposition it would seem that everybody who has the time would be willing to do something to assist in its successful accomplishment. Even if a man can spare but two hours a day he can do considerable hoeing in that time and every plant that is cultivated help- just that much. The farm commi is considering a plan to comm u with every man who valunteéred to ,work'on the farm this summer and to ask them to designate just what day each week they could best devote to this work, and then ask them to keep their pledge. Chairman H. S, Tallard, who has thus far so excellently managed the farm, is enthusiastic over the pros- pects of a bumper crop of potatoes but states that more help is impera- tive. Already the advance guards of potato bugs are arriving and ‘it will be but_a short time before the spray- ing machine will have to be used. To facilitate this work Mr. Tallard plans to place a huge tank, or several bar- rels aggregating about 100 gallons, in some central lacation anA then, with the assistance of City Engineer W. H. Hall and his engineering .force, a pump will be installed at the nearby brook and a pipe laid to the tank. ‘Thus it will be an easy matter to re- fill the tank on the spraying machine without loss of time.

Among those in the latter class is Edward Markham of Pleasant street and Lawrence Downey of Thompsonville, a brother of Rev. ‘Willlam A. Downey of St. ery‘l church. Advertised Letters.

LOSES HIS FATHER IN LORRAINE CHARGE Two Bmthers of Lawpence: Flood May Never Pight' Again \Father killed. in Lorraine, favorite brother blinded by one of the Teuton shells, another brother badly maimed but persistent relative to returnt; the front to “do his bit” in d‘:’l:: of, the advance of barbarism are items contained in a communication received by Lawrence Flood of 11 East Lawlor street, once subject of King Edward, now happlly. married and a citizen of the Stars and Stripes. Locating him resulted through efforts of Chief of Police Willlam J. Raw- lings and Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth upon request of the British consul in New York. Having lost track of him for several years fol- lowing his coming to America’s &hores, his surviving . relatives ap- pealed to the authorities to aid in getting into communication with him. For a long time they despaired of being successful. Finally, through the efforts of the British consul, he was traced to this city and a request was made that he be located, if pos- sible. Found by Sergeant Bamforth, his address was turned over to Brit- ish authorities and relayed to a little suburban village in the outskirts of London. His father, according to the word received from sorrowing relatives, went to his. death in Lorraine, June 5, 1916, a colonel in command of a detachment of Australian Rangers. He met death after a military career of much credit to the family name and leaving behind a record of valor. The letter saf{d his favorite brother Jaumes, had been totally blind eince & shell exploded as he was a mem- ber of a detachment charging Ger- men trenches. Another brother had bheen seriously wounded, probably disfigured for life, invalided home but, with the characteristic courage of the English “Tommies,” had in- sisted upon returning to the frout and “doing his bit.” Fear 18 ex- pressed he has m he fate of father Th tory of sorrow, contained in the communication, is realized to be but typical of that ex- isting In many a family. Flood has been a resident of this city for several years, is a well known carpenter, is married and was natur- alised some time ago. POLICE BOARD ORGANIZATION.
