OVERLOOK THE GARDEN
Average Farmer Fails to Appre-
ciate Rare Privilege.
One That Is Poorly Planned and Not
Well Kept Is Anything But Good
observation-disclosures Cannot
be Reckoned In Money.
(By o NJ.


The pleasure and profit to be de-
rived from a good vegetable garden
is a privilege enjoyed 10 its fullest ex-
tent only by those leading a rural life;
but, strange to say, the average farmer
painfully fails to appreciate this rare
privilege. In fact, in many cases he
neglects this opportunity to such a
pitiful extent hat we are prone to
think that he. more than any other
person who pretends to have a garden
at all, needs to be urged TO have, and
informed how to make and maintain,
a good vegetable garden. The farmer
used to large areas of general farm
crops feels that he is STOPPING from
his dignity or is wasting his time when
he undertakes anything SO small as he
imagines the vegetable garden to be;
consequently, he plows it. perhaps,
and leaves the planting and filling to
the women folks" As a matter of
fact, there is not on the farm a piece
of land OF the same area, the profit
of which approaches anywhere near
to that of the vegetable garden. An
authority on this subject says: From
careful observation the statement can
be safely made that a well-kept garden
will yield a return 10 to 10 times great
or than would the same area II devot-

POLITICS AND RELIGIoN.-Po-


itics should govern a country for the
good of the people and not for the
benefit of few and religion should
teach the people how to form a gov
eminent entirely for their benefit in
stead of a government of tyrannical
rot.
Politics and religion are identical
and should work together for the
good of the world and the people.
When they fail to do that they are
N. G. and should be kicked back in
to-where they rightfully belong.
That means that religion and politics
when corrupt are closely related with
the devil, the emperor of Limbo and
its vicinity.
I am not against the people, but
against the foolish rot they carry
along. That's the real menace. That
is why so many muckers are now
mucking for work when they ought
to have work.
They are useful members when
they work, but are not appreciated
enough to make them feel and look
like men.
We needn't be ashamed to do hon

RACE SUICIDE. - A reader asks
why Margaret Sanger is prosecuted
for disseminating knowledge in re-
gard to methods of limiting the popu-
lation.
1t seems with civilization comes a
diminished birth rate. This is the
experience of all nations. Whether
due to profiigacy or a higher degree
of popular medical knowledge, am
not prepared to say, as believe both
causes have operated in the past.
Now this thing has always given
statesmen and patriots great con-
Germ, due to fear of national degen-
Grafton or even obliteration. Hence
the laws on our statute books to pre-
vent spreading knowledge on this
subject. 1t is much the same fear
that prompts the building of more
warships, more forts, more guns, a
feeling that someone else is growing
stronger and faster than we are. 1t
is just another form of that old hy-
dra-headed monster, competition"
To my mind the only thing that will
remove this as well as most other
"phobias" is an International Fedora
ton of Cooperative Commonwealth.
AS far as the International Fedora
ton is concerned, that was tenta-
lively in force among the nations up
to the outbreak of the present war,
when some nations became recalci-
trant, and refused to submit their
differences to the Hague. When the
war is over We'll try, try again"

MAKES RICH ORE STRIKE
ON HEAD CHEWAWA RIVER
Joe MaSSie Thinks He has Made the Best
Mineral Find Yet-ASSayS Show
$50 to $500 per Ton

Joe Massie has been following min
ing off and on for many years. Some
ten years ago he found what he con-
sidered a good claim on the head of
the Chewawa river, which was bonded
or became tied up in the Chelan Con-
solidated venture. This particular
claim was never opened up or any
effort made to test its value. The
Chelan Consolidated having abanded
the claim Mr.. Massie relocated the
property and has done much work on
it the past three months. He has had
frequent assays made and they run
from $50 to 5000 per ton in copper
and gold. The property is located
about so miles north Of Leavenworth,
on the headwaters of the Chewawa
river. The ore body is about four feet
wide with we'll defined walls. A good
wagon road runs to within fifteen miles
of the property, from there on there is
a good trail He has force Of men
at work and expects to pack several
tons TO the end Of the road and from
there haul it in wagons to Leavenworth
and ship it to the Tacoma smelter.
So confident is he that he has one of
the most valuable ore finds ever made
in this section that he intends 10 have
it thoroly tested, if it is necessary to
bring out a car load to make thoro
smelter test.

URGES RELIGIOUS NOR
ATORIUM DURING WAR
1T is MOckery to Ask Men with Blood
Lust in the Heart and Blood Stains
on the Hands to Approach the
Table of the Lord"

A Berlin correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press OF the 9th inst, says a
writer advocates moratorium on Chris
tianitY,;' in one Of the principle re-
ligious journals Of the fatherland. The
writer urges that in war of this char
acter, where ruthlessness Of an unpar-
alleled type is displayed and where the
very rudiments OF Christianity are ig-
nored, it would be wise, if Christianity
is to be maintained, that it should not
be preached or taught during the con-
tinuance of the war;"
The writer, who states that he is
now serving at the front, says he is
convinced that war itself is an evidence
that for the time being evil is upper
most in the world. 1T is as though
one were obliged to lay aside ones hu-
nanity and to relinquish all that dis
tinguished a Christian man. 1t is
mockery to ask men with blood lust in
the heart and blood stains on the hands
to approach the table OF the Lord"
The fighting in the trenches, con-
tinues the article, is of such character
that every feeling of religion and every
inclination to pray ceases. 1t is not
Christian teaching that a man wants as
he comes fresh from the frightful hell
of the trenches. War is a phenomenon
which the church should not be able to
bless. 1t is opposed to every essential
of Christianity and the sooner a mora
torium for Christianity is declared the
better. There should be no more
church nonsense about the ennobling
and purifying effects Of war. For hun
dreds of thousands Of men at the front,
men who once believed in the faith,
the moratorium is already in effect.
When they return from the blood
soaked battle front, their Christianity
will be OF a different order, and they
will insist upon the church adopting a
different Christianity"

Sanitary Market BurgIarized-NOt Quite

A man giving the name OF Bill Smith
got so far in attempting to burglarize
the Sanitary Market last Tuesday morn
ing about 1890 that he got inside the
building and was just about to rife the
cash register when the minions OF the
law laid hands upon William Smith
and now he languishes in the county
Jail at Wenatchee waiting trial on the
charge Of burglary. in the Superior
court. Mine Host More, OF the Chik-
amin hotel, from his upstairs back
porch had watched the rather strange
maneuvers of William Smith whom he
saw standing near a window on the
alley side at the rear end OF the mar
ket, and heard scratching sound, as
of some one scratching on glass, which
proved to be correct on examination,
then he ran back to the street and not
seeing anyone in sight he ran back to
the window, hurriedly ran his hand
thru the broken glass and loosened
the catch on the inside and raised the
sash. Thru the window he went.
Then Mr.. More sent one of his roomers
for the night marshal and while one
went to the front door the other one
guarded the rear Bill Smith crawled
along the floor in an endeavor to reach
the cash register. The room is bril-
liantly lighted all night. When the
marshal entered the building Smith
was crouched near the back end of the
counter and pretended to be asleep.
He was arrested and the following day
had an examining trial and was sent to
Wenatchee on charge of attempted
burglary.
