Red Cross To Enter ? New Field Of Service In Anny Camps Of America At the suggestion of Secretary of War Bakor, tho American Red Cross is about to enter a new finid of service in the army camps of the United States, a field in which they are already working in .France, the Bureau of Communication between the men in tho hospital and thejr families at home. This will ne* oesBitate building a Red Cross house in every army camp in the country and securing for each house a man who will keep in personal touch with every man who is admitted to the camp hospital, as well as a sufficient steno graphic force to handle the letters dic tated by these men and to keep their families constantly informed as to their condition and progress. Col. William Dawson Peel, General ' manager of the Southern division, has Just received letter? from W. R. Cas tle, Jr., director of the Bureau of Com munications, and from Harry B. Wal lace, assistant director-gener?! of mili tary relief, explaining Secretary Ba- I ker's plan and asking for suggestions as to men in this division who are ' qualified for the positions of respon sibility at the camps. Colonel Peel '? announced Thursday at a meeting of j his bureau directors that the Southern j division would co-operate in every way ) with the national organization and that work would be begun at once to assist in carrying out Secretary Bak- j er's plans. . j The directors of the work in the Red Gross houses will be under the au- i thorlty of the Red Cross Fiold Direc tors in the various camps, who in i turn are under the supervision of Z. I Bennett Phelps, director of military relief for the Southern division. Secretary Baker says in his letter: I "Since the American Red Cross has already established in Prance, In accordance with an army order, a ser vie* to keep families In America in personal touch with their boys, ill or wounded in the field, it la suggest ed that this service be extended to the camps in the United States. Anuri can Red Cross representatives at the camps, here, as in Prance, would have acosas to daily lists of admissions and evacuations from the hospitals, and, so far as lt ls in accord with neces sary medical rules, would be allowed to talk with sick men. They would be expected to keep families constant ly informed as to the condition and progress, of the men in the hospitals,. to write' letters for men unable to write themselves, and In general to fulfill that clause of th* Red Cross charter which designated the society as "a medium of communication be tween troops In the field and their families at home." ?

HOME GARDENS ~ CUT STORE BILIS President Georgia Chamber Of Com meroe 8hows How Millions Were Saved Last Year Atlanta, Georgia.-(Special.)-"More I money was aaved in 1917 through the medium of the home garden than ever before, the United States Department of Agriculture esUmating that there were fully one million new gardens made last year," says H. G. Hastings, Pr? Ident of the Southeastern Fair and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, In an interview reviewing the 1917 farming operations in the South. "Thousands upon thousands of our people in the South/' said Mr. Hast mgs, "for the first time in their lives learned to appreciate the money sav ing power of the homo garden, proper ly planned, proparod for, planted and kept planted during the entire sea son." "Up to the present it has been very hard to got our people to consider the homo garden seriously as a real sub stantial factor in food production with the consequent saving of money that went for food supplies at the store. Unloss we are much mistaken the home garden will from now on be taken as seriously as any other part of the farm work. "A quarter to a half acre devoted to a variety of vegetables liked by tho family can bo kept going nearly the whole year in the South and give its owner aa much as the product of two 1 or three acres of cotton, oven at pres i ent prices, will buy at the store. Tho { right kind of a garden moans an ; abundance of healthful food during ; spring, summer and fall and an aband \ ance either canned or dried for wln I ter use." ' i "Let no one bo fooled by thc Hes spread abroad that ,the Government is going to seize home canned goods on closet shelves in the farm or home. These lies aro started by Ger man agentsv for the express purpose of discouraging our people in increased food production and saving. Few can go to the firing lino, but ali can join in and ha\ J a part in home produc tion of food. "We nave never seen a permanent ly prosperous farm section oither in the United States or in foreign coun tries that was not a divor?!ned sec tion, and in every diversified section the home garden has an honored and Valued place. The homo garden is a Btoro bill cutter of tho first rank," WALHALLA PROOF Should Convince Every Walhalla Raider.
