these people grow their own supply
Of vegetables and in doing so improve
their physical well being and add TO
the few and simple joys Of their life.
The German societies leased two
tracts of unimpr0yed land near
workingmen's district of Chariotten-
burg, subdivided them into "a plots.
and raftled them of among those who
applied for them, families with many
children being first considered. In
the center Of every garden plot was
a playground for the little ones.
The societies started the work of
preparing the ground and even fur
nished fertilizers and seeds. This be-
ing done. the plots were taken over
and cared for by the families to whose
share they had fallen. The enthu-
siasm and perseverance with which
these city dwellers entered upon their
farming was surprising.
Instead of crowding into a train or
a tram bound for the pleasure resorts
in the suburbs, these people place
their youngest child. their tools and
their luncn basket in the baby's car
riage and set out early in the morn
ing to spend their holiday in their
own garden. There father and moth
er work OF rest, and the children play
in the open until late in the evening,
when one can see professions of them
returning to their city fats.
Nor is it only on holidays that they
resort to their gardens. AS soon as
the warm weather has set In, the
wives go there early in the afternoon,
the children follow after school hours
and the father joins the family on
coming from his work. The principal
meal of the family being taken at
noon. 1t is quite possible for the fam
lily of a Berlin workingman owning
such a garden to spend from five to
seven hours daily in the open. When
not busy caring for their potatoes.
cabbages, cucumbers and other vege-
tables, the mothers sit in the shade
of the arbors sewing. while the chill
dren romp about.
There is a spirit OF emulation among
the people which Is encouraged by
the patrons. who at an annual harvest
feast view the results attained and
join in the general merrymaking. It
is their aim not only to promote the
physical well being of the people, but
to foster n feeling Of neighborllness.
To strengthen this spirit of solidarity
and prevent an estrangement among
the plot neighbors during the long
winter. there is at least one meeting
of social nature on the grounds in
the cold season.
This enterprise is hardly FIVE years
old. but the "a plot originally given
to the people in Charlottenburg have
become upward of 1.1O0 In various
parts OF Berlin. Extraordinary rea-
sons must prevail If any owner de-
cides to give up his plot. When one
of those rare cases occurs. there are
hundreds Of applicants eager to hn
the vacancy. The people cling TO the
bit of ground as If 1t were valuable

and that without keeping it up. The in
cident of the boy and the pump illustrates
the matter very we'll. The boy was sent

printing and poured out as much as lie
poured in. Then he stopped to rest and
the printing ran down. After sometime
of alternate pumping and resting he con-
cluded it did not pay to pump and quit in
disgust. The merchant who does not be-
lieve in advertising does it like the boy
did the pumping. He advertised few

the people to forget him and bis business
before he advertised again and then con-
cluded advertising didn't pay.
