There may not be as many vacant
lots in Pine Bluff as there are in the
Texas capital, but there are enough
to utilize the spare time of nearly all
the children and many of the par
ents, especially il the back yards are
planted to vegetables and other
things for the family table. In Beau
mont, Texas, the Chamber of Com
merce took hold of the back yari
garden campaign, supplying seed and
advice, and organizing a thriving
garden association OF boys and girls
who have become deeply interested
in gardening. They have found it to
be profitable from the standpoint Of
health and from the standpoint of
economy. 1t furnishes amusement OF
kind that appeals to the healthy
boy or girl who does not care to
spend all his or her time at play dur
ing vacations or during the long
spring and summer afternoon after
school.
An agricultural writer says it is
furnishes half the food for family.
If this be true, an energetic boy or
girl could be of great service to his
family by maintaining a garden, and
at the same time he would be en-
gagged in an occupation that would
make him better mentally, morally,
physically and financially.
Just how much the back yard
garden will cut the cost of living in
Pine Bluff WAS demonstrated last
year by G. II. Moore, a clerk at the
local postoffice. Mr.. Moore cult
waited a plot about GO by 40 feet, sup
plying his own table and a few
others. He estimates that his back
yard garden last year was worth to
him $500 in cash..
Other reasons why the back yard
and vacant lot gardening movement
should be fostered in Pine Bluff is
because it will improve the appear
ance Of the city. Vacant lots in high
weeds and back yards Uttered with
lin cans and old rubbish are not at
tractive. Better turn the vacant lots
over to the boys and girls, and util--
ize them and the back yard for re-
ducing the cost oil living than to per-
nit them to shame us when showing
a stranger about the city.

ThF BACK YARD GARDE

As the fseason approaches for the
planting OF spring gardens. attention
is again called to the subject Of the
back yard and the vacant lot garden
In cities and towns. 1t is a trite OBJ
servation that every family on every
farm should have garden, from ths
proprietor to the last tenant. but it
is not SO plain that there is profit in
the vacant lot and the back yard gar
sden in town.
.'The back yard and vacant lot gar
dening in cities is one of the biggest
movements for good of the present
day. declares a garden bulletin writ
ten from the Texas Industrial con-
gress by w. IS. Taylor and c. H.
Winkler. Of the school of agricultural
education of the University of Texas.
s'When we consider the amount of
spare time of city children from the
time they leave school in the spring
until they return in the fall We Won
sderrat the small amount of misdirect-
ed energy on their part. There are
10000 vacant lots and back yards in
Austin of size available for gar,
dens. In San Antonio it is estimated
that there are $50 acres, approxi-
mately fourteen sections, of lands in
vacant lots and back yards available
for gardens. These cities. are not ex-
ceptions in the amount of waste land
If all the school children were to
work on all of this unused land. the
unsightly back yards and vacant lots
would be converted into neat, we'll
planned gardens, pleasing to the eye

INHERITANCE TAX.
Senator Garrett Presents Bill to III
crease State Income.

Little Rock, Jan. Ex-senator Gar
rett OF Clark county Monday intro.
duced in the senate a bill amending
the Arkansas inheritance laws. The
bill makes no change in the per cent
collected, but does in the way of cal
culating the amount of tax to be paid
At present it is possible on an estate
of $4,000, to exempt $4,000 if there
is widow and a sufficient number of
children to claim exemptions. The
state then collects On the $4,000 about
$50. Under the Garrett act the state
will collect $3.50 on the $4,000, and
the heirs will still have their eXemp-
tons, for the tax will be collected on
the total, instead Of on the residue
after their exemptions have been de-
Quoted. 1t is figured that this meas
ure will increase the revenue of the
state several thousand dollars annu-
ally.

"DO IT NOX.'

In giving particulars regarding
municipal and county work to be-
undertaken at Rome, Ca, to the ex-
tent of about $35O,o00, H. A. Wheel
ing, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce of Rome, says: "These
improvements are being undertaken
in line with position taken by the
Manufacturers Record to build now
believing that such improvements
can be made now more economically
than would be possible in the next
year Or two
Build now" and DO public work
now" should be the slogans through
out the South, and, indeed, through
out the country. The time is propiti-
Gus for doing public work now, as
we'll as for building operations, by
all who plan to build any time in the
near future and who are financially
able to undertake the work now.
There is a great advantage at the
present time in doing all work of
this kind, both by individuals and by
communities, fer at present thous-
ands of people are out of employ
ment, building material is lower than
it has been for years. and it is, there
fore, possible to do all work of this
kind to better ADVANTAGE and at a
lever cost than it has been for many
years Or is likely to be whenever
prosperity returns to the country.
In addition to the saving in work
thus dene, employment would in this
way be given to many, of the people
now seeking employment in vain.
Every official in public life in the
South ought to take an active Inter
est in harvesting the feasibility OF
taking up immediately all construc-
ton work that can possibly be done
| to advantage. Every man who eN-
| poets to build a home Or to do any
other construction work within the
next year or two, and who is finan-
| cially able to do it now, ought to dc
it now, for his own good as we'll as
for the good of others.
| Every man who holds back work
that he could afford to have done al
present merely out of general tim,
idity or unwillingness to go ahead il
iniuring the country. Every piece OF
municipal or county work that is de-
| layed by reason of inactivity on the
part of municipal o. county Officials
| Is mjuring the whole community
Railroads and many business orsani
cations, as we'll as individuals, are
not in a position to do much con
struction work at present, but coun
ties, cities, state and the nationa
government can provide money TO-
work Of this kind, as we'll rs many
private individuals, and now is the
time when those WHO can do such

 Demands to German omce.

Deman0S to herman Omce. Washington, May 17.--Ambassador Gerard at Berlin today notified the state department of the delivery of the American note to the German for eign office. It was the first official notification that the note had arrived at it's destination, although it's de- livery had been reported in news despatches.
 Intimations by diplomats friendly to Germany that her answer might be an offer to suspend attacks without warning on merchandising if the United States would renew it's infor- mai proposals for unrestricted pass age of foodstuffs to Germany's civilian population have aroused keen inter est. Officials declare the United States will not recede from it's rights under international law, but inti- mates that if Germany acquiesces in the American position the United States probably will press it's conten- tion of it's right to ship foodstuffs to Germany. This matter still is under diplomatic discussion.
 It is thought probable also that an understanding might be reached giv- ing Germany definite assurances that no merchant ship leaving American ports would be armed, making it pos sible for submarine commanders to exercise the right of visit and search with irnpunity

IDA WALTERS TRIAD.
For Murder of Her Children Set
 for Today

AoH lOudys
 New York; May 17.-The trial of Ida s. Walters for the murder of her children, John, two years old, and Loretta eight months, to whom she administered poison last December, was set for today. The district attor- ney of Bronx county had announced his intention of opposing a hearing at this time because Mrs. Walters is soon to give birth to third child. Her counsel was ready to begin the trial.
 After poisoning her children, Mrs. Walthers drank a similar dose and narrowly escaped death. The tragedy revealed the fact that Lorlys Elton Rogers, a lawyer, was father of her children and that while she lived with the babies in a Bronx apartment he lived in Manhattan with his lawful wife. The latter, Mrs. Caroline Gid- 1ings Rogers, has since obtained an interlocutory decree of divorce.
