SOLVING THE FOOD PROBLEM.

n n THE same day that announcement was made from
Chicago, great food center Of the nation, that the
price OF staple food products had advanced about 50 per
cent in the last year. another announcement made, that
of the result of the mayors garden contest in Oklahoma
City, has a mighty bearing on the increased values OF the
things We eat.
The rich man has no great problem to solve when gro
ceries and meats cost more money. But wage earners do
The man who earns SIS a week is confronted by veNation'
when the baker and the butcher and the grocer are COM
PEELED to charge higher prices to stock the family larder.
Last spring Mayor Ovcrholser offered an automobile
as a prize to the boy or girl who should make the best
showing from a vegetable garden on a city lot The award
was made Monday TO a boy who raised and sold prod
ucts from his city lot Tor the snug sum of $l0282 This
is at the rate in excess OF $1,000 an acre.
II there should be a general movement OF the kind
initiated by this Oklahoma City boy, the so percent ad-
vance in food products announced from Chicago would
be Knocked out, wage carncrs would be able to live better
than they do now, and have money lett with which to
start a savings account
OF course, it is quite impossible for the man who lives
in an upstairs apartment Of a tenement house in a big
city to have a vegetable garden, but it is possible for
every man who has a back yard to raise his own garden
stuff. This would increase the supply to such an extent
that prices would decline in the big markets and the city
dweller would get the benefit
In offering this handsome prize for constructive work,
Mayor Oycrholscr was not merely doing something to
please the little folk He has been viewing the matter
from a broader standpoint. Witnessing the increased cost
OF living, this ctys executive proceeded to give a demon
Stration OF the way to solve the food problem. Tie has
been successful II a boy can make this marvellous record,
every head Of a family who has a back yard can save
money for his dinner table and be a factor in saving
money to the man who has no back yard and who now Is
puzzled to make his purse fit the prices asked by dealer,

OUR OUTDOOR PICTURE GALLERY.

OKLAHOMA CITY is rapidly acquiring a reputation
~ far beyond the confines OF the state as a spot where
civic beauty has been developed to a point approaching
the maximum. The efforts OF citizens to improve lawns,
establish flower beds. cultivate trees and keep the streets
clean have brought about a condition which is gratifying
to homefolk and a delight to visitors.
But there is a weak spot remaining in our general
scheme of Identification. And we had to leave town to be
reminded of it.
Rolling across the country in the smoking compart-
mcnt of a trans sentimental buffet car, the talk turned on
Oklahoma. The man from Oklahoma City, enthusiastic
about the city he calls home, told Of the accomplishments
of the past twenty-seven years. With dramatic effect he
challenged any community in the land to show similar
achievements.
Eyes, you have a good city" said the man from New
England. But in your haste to place your city in the
class made famous for trees, bouleyards and flowers you
have neglected to take steps which have been of value to
the Older cities of the cast Out in your city, during every
political campaign YOU permit the several score Of candi-
dates to mutilae your public places by hanging and past
ing huge placards.
The last time that | was in your city it occurred to
me that if YOU would prevent the decorating Of telephone
poles, the sides of buildings and other vacant wall space
with the pictures of candidates, you would put the finish
ing touches on your plans for making the capital OF Okla
homa one of the attractive cities Of the west"
Here, then, is an echo from the outside world which
should make an impression upon us. From day to day We
have ridden past the glazing posters without a full real
ization of the blemishes We are allowing to exist.
Ii tho city commissioners will promptly proceed to stol
this practice OF placarding tho city during the campaign
they may find objection from one percent of the population
But they will receive the hearty Endorsement OF the ninety
and nine.
