Asheville, June 23. The city of
Asheville challenges the state to show
a better record in the matter of gar
dens than is being made here. More
than 500 boys and girls are employ -

had regardless of cost."
"Our streets were crowded with
from twenty to twenty five thousand
people for this attraction and every
one was highly pleased.
"This sensational act is worth a

pense to see. They played a number
of seasons at Coney Island. Ravanla

"Mrs Howard rides a bicycle upon

ducts raised in the city gardens this
year will reach a value of several
thousand dollars. A large part of the
credit for the mobilization of the
boys and girls for this purpose is
due to Mr Ralston Fleming, who is
head of the School Garden Committee
of the Asheville Board of Trade.

Petrograd, June 3. All Russia is
voting. Not only the men, but the wo
men. There isn't any woman's rights
battle in Russia. Everybody accepts
the feminine right to the ballot as per
fectly natural.
In all the history of the world, per
haps, there has never been so much
voting by so many different sorts of
human beings on so many different
subjects, as there s in Russia this
very minute.
Soldiers are voting; workmen are
voting; moulders, machinists, wash
women, waiters, Scrubwomen, ser
vants, cab-drivers, street cleaners.rail
road men, peasants all are voting.
They are voting for delegates to meet
ings; they are votrng on hours and
wages; the soldiers are voting 'on
how to fight and on what orders shall
or shall not be given nto them or they
hold meetings in the trenches, elect
delegates anf send them back to Pe
trograd to represent them in the nati
onal gathering of soldiers.
I And while this storm of voting is1
under way the new government, alert
and on Its tip toes, waits to know the
popular will and translate It into law.
The government has no army behind
it; and governments without armies
are, powerless. The army is behind the
people In fact, the army is the peo
ple. So long as the new government
carries out the will of the people it
will have the support of the army.
Wherefore the masters of public opln
iou, like Kerensky, keep themselves
In the way knowing what the public
will on any certain matter mal chance
to be.
The first thing that strikes an
American in Russia is the fact that

The government and the various
industries that have established War
headquarters here will need . 60,000

New government offices are spring

The restaurants are busier than Coh
