Now is the Time to Build That Garden Cold Frame There is no better way to use 18 square feet in any sunny garden than by covering it with a fjc.'den frame. If you have none, Smi a few hour's work in the base ment this winter will prepare all material, ready for a quick assem Wy job as soon as the weather out age permits. It can be put to use -Srroughout the year for some gar tot purpose. The pattern now used is much the jjme as has been followed since jfciss first became available, and «?rves for both cold frame, and 4art-bed. The standard size is 3x6 feet, made to fit the standard sash, which was scarce during the war, is again obtainable. You can K&tld your frame to fit any sash fan have on hand, however, and jfcrtead of glass many prefer one M the plastic substitutes which are *Mich lighter and unbreakable—im portant advantages in windy loca tions Wood is by far the best material Jor a frame, because of its insulat mg value. Anyone who can use a saw and hammer can build a frame from the accompanying working drawing. Boards at least one-inch, and preferably two inches thick should be used, of a type that re sists dampness, such as cypress, red wood, or white pine. When it is practical to assemble the frame outdoors, dig a hole in the ground slightly larger than the size of the frame. It should be at least a foot deep. Into this hole put the frame you have built so that 4 to 6 inches of it is beneath the surface and the remainder above. This will insure that no drafts enter from beneath. Place the frame so that the front slants toward the south, where the win ter sun shines. It is well to hinge the sash at the top of the frame, so it can be easily opened for trans planting purposes and airing. A sunny spot in the garden, pro tected as much as possible from the full force of winds and driving rain, is the best situation for the :old frame. No one can live on vitamins alone, yet no? one can live without them. They are made in chemical labora tories and can be bought, but the cheapest sources are in vegetables, fruits and other foods which can and should be produced on our farms.

This is sheer waste —a "make-work" program which would mean fewer improvements and higher costs—for you! Railroads use modern diesel locomotives be cause they are one of the means of giving faster, better service to you. Two men compose the crew of a diesel. They occupy a clean, comfortable cab at the front. The engineer handles the throttle. The fireman sits and watches the track ahead. With no coal to shovel, he has practically nothing else to do. No Benefit To Yon Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want to use the diesel locomotive as a means of forcing a feather-bedding scheme on the rail roads. The extra men they propose to add to the diesel crews are not needed. There is no work for them. The union leaders are fighting among them selves about which union should furnish these extra, needless men. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers have even threatened a strike. You may not be interested in this dis pute of these two unions, but you would be vitally concerned if these groups succeed in putting through this feather-bedding scheme, because it would mean a slowing up of the improvement program of the railroads—of which the diesel is the outstanding symbol. Diesel crs*.v3 are among the highest paid ILL • A J_ I •••«- lAaf inis is 8 (116SCI famous. leaders of two unions think its a featfier-M y>n6(Z>tt4- &14, yd^UH^^-U^>Uy. railroad employes—real aristocrats of labor! Their pay is high by any standard. Granting of these demands, therefore, would mean that the railroads would be paying out millions in unearned wages to those in the very highest pay brackets. We'd Like To Spend This Money On You You know how much the diesel has meant to you in increased speed, comfort and conven ience. The railroads have many more of them on order for even greater improvement in service to you. But needless drains of money, such as this present demand of the unions for needless men on diesels, reduce the ability of the railroads to spend money on better serv ice for you. Proud as the railroads ar^ of the diesel, it is only a small part of their improvement pro gram. Since the War, literally billions of dol lars have been spent on improvement of tracks and stations, on new passenger and freight cars, as well as on diesel locomotives, and on the many other less conspicuous de tails of railroading that contribute to im proved service. Feather-Bedding Means Less Service To Yoa But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the one now proposed would, if successful, divert large sums of money from our present im provement programs. Even worse, they make improvements like the diesel worthless, by making the cost of their operation prohibitive. These demands are against your interests —as well as those of the railroads. They are schemes to "make work". Neither you nor the railroads should be forced to pay such a penalty for progress. That's why the railroads are resisting these "make work" demands to the last ditch—and why they are telling you about them. We are publishing this and other advertisements to talk with you at first hand about i ■ -ts v.-hich are important to everybody.
