THE home GARDEN MOVEMENT

There are various angles from
which to praise the home garden
work in which $4,000 Washington
children will engage this spring. II
helps make for city beautiful; the
children's waste time is employed;
thrift is developed.
But one of the chief benefits ID
educational. This gardening teaches
things that cannot be learned in
side a class room. The youth gets
the joy of seeing things grow" He
acquires a capital counter-irritant
for the supposedly artificial atmos-
phere of the apartment house. He
gets IN touch with the laws Of ma
ture, the pulse Of living things, the
great creative forces. He works in
good, wholesome dirt. He, learns
something of whore his food comes
from. He loses the illusion of the
tin can, Theoretically sealed, germ
proof, wax paper scnool of household
eCOnOmy.
We must live in cities, and living
in them does not bring half the evils
that the "back to the farm" adyo-
Gates would. have US believe. But we
make the cities difficult to live in by
not doing the things that these chill
dren are doing-keeping our feet on
the ground, and keeping in touch
with Mother Earth.
There remains to US patches OF
ground which no one used until the
Peoples Garden Association gave
the garden movement shove. Fol
ten years now, in school and home
gardens, it has been doing its work
sowing seed, literally and fgura.
lively. 1t is helping to raise, moi
only vegetables and flowers, but
healthy, wholesome boys and girls
with better physiques and clearer
minds.

is not doing her share. Quite likely,
England is sending troopsinto France
a good deal faster than Russia can
send them, but not saying anything
about it. It will be recalled that
from the beginning Of the war move
ments of British and French troops,
even over half the circumference Of
the earth, have been accomplished
with a secrecy fairly uncanny.
It all summarizes into the state
ment that the allies act like a group
Of thoroughly harmonious and deter
mined people getting ready to do
something very big. A

she Is hemmed in, the way she now
is, by the allies. She grows more,
not less, tightly hemmed in.
Actual warfare between Germany
and the United States would be all
but impossible. But not only would
all our industrial and commercial and
financial activity which has quick
ened the whole life Of this nation
continue; there would be more Of 1t

The British, the French, the Rus
sian, the Italian governments are
now buying our food and clothing,
our arms and ammunition, our war
supplies Of all sorts and descriptions;
though there were no crash Of battle
the United States would be adding
its buying to their buying.
We need not maintain that war is
a good thing for the world in the
long run TO understand that particu-
lar parts Of the world can benefit
prodigiously and quite miraculously
in supplying the needs Of those who
are, at war; and in this instance we
should be supplying also the needs
Of this Government for the possibili-
ties rather than the actualities Of
war.
But let us repeat that while this
Government ought to take every pre-
caution now against any and all pos
sibilities, we see no war clouds yet
settling down upon this prosperous
and happy country. We see in the
distant sky no war signs that cannot
be waited away. We believe they
will be.

the pressure on Congress to expend
Uncle Sans money.

some OF no merit. The most ambitious
good roads proposition Is from Congress-
man Tillman of Arkansas. He has n
