A. G. Gower, of Greenville, S. C., working only before and. afte. his regular working hours, and without the assistance of any one else has raised a “war garden*’ consisting of flowers and vegetables and the pro ceeds of three crops this year have been invested in 1235.00 worth of War Savings Stamps, in addition to $27 donated to the Red Cross. Mr. Gower is now preparing to plant the fourth crop, and bis goal is to be able to buy $1,000 worth of W. S. S. as a result of his war garden. Thus the Government Is being aid ed J n three ways—investment in V 8. S.. donations to the Red Cross, and an Increase in the nation.’s levy* supply.
