THE BACK LOTS DTTY

If everyone in Columbia who is abb,
would store up a few hundred extra
pounds of foodstuffs, what would be
the result? The supply would be ex.
hausted, and prices would propor.
tlonately rise. The gluttons would
have their fill, but what about the
poor? Your oversupply would mean
some poorer persons want. The pub
lie welfare would suffer.
The reverse is true when applied
to the back-lot garden idea. If a few
persons planted their extra ground. if
wouldn't influence local conditions to
much extent. But what if all planted
small piece of ground? Enough
could be raised to take care of Colum-
bias needs. Apply this to every town
in the state that has vacant lots
lheh apply 1t to every town in the
United States. What would be the
result? Enough food would be raised
Tor local needs. Then the large cities
could draw from the regular fields of
production, and the rest would more
than feed the allied nations of L.,
rope. Think it over-then plant your
back lot.

man." combined the modern and the
ancient points of view-placing a hero
with the so-called "old-fashioned''
ideals into setting which at times
makes one think of the works of
Robert Chambers. But he is success
ful, and the book provides an inter-
esting bit of reading. The character
of John Strangewey, the hero, is well
protrayed. and his philosophy and ac-
tions throughout the entire book lead
one to be believe that the thoughts
are those of Oppenheim himself.
