DO YOU OWN YOUR
HOME, OR DOES YOUR
LANDLORD OWN YOU?

This is a serious question and
should command the attention of ev-
cry salariod man, more especially the
man CT the family who owes it to his
loved ones.
TO own home is the one great OBJ
ject OF lie and the one more hopeful
Of achievement than anything else.
HCme ownership creates not only
seli-rcspect to yourself, but to your
city, your country and the property
rights Of others.
The desire to buy home is born in
every man and the inability to satisfy
this desire is calamity.
But few there are that cannot own a
home.
There are many people laboring un.
der the impression that they cannot
own their home when it is a mistake.
Let US help you buy that home.

lied problems. The commission will
consider plans for rural architecture;
rural tree and shrub planting, includ-
ing country school, church and home
landscape gardening; the use of
churches and schoolhouses as com

with country life; the encouragement
of better conditions and more conven-

Through this commission we expect
to emphasize and increase the impor-

out from the Agricultural college, and
to bring the country school more di-
rectly in touch with country problems.
This, we hope, will lead each communi-

COST S16.O0O.OOO
Navy Orders 100000 Yards Of Wool.
en- Uniform Cloth.

Substantially all contracts en-
braccd in departments schedule on
blue uniform material have now been
awarded. Placed in number of states.
The Navy Department has author
lied the following:
To meet enormous wartime re-
quirements and provide for future
needs, the Navy in the past week has
contracted for 100000 yards of
woolen uniform cloth, at an aggregate
cost Of more :han S16,000,000.
With the placing of an order for
100000 yards with the American
Wooden Co., of New York, substan-
italy all contracts embraced in the
departments schedule on blue uni
form cloth have now been awarded.
The contracts constitute the largest
purchase OF woolen cloth ever made
by the Navy, and one of the most i'm
portant single contracts for wooden
goods placed in the history of the
trade, either here or abroad.
The amount of wool in the grease
required for the manufacture of the
cloth is upward of 100000 pounds.
1t has been estimated that if the
cloth were delivered at one time it
would require storage space of about
100000 cubic feet and would weigh
nearly 100000. It will be sufficient
for the manufacture OF about l,0OO,-
600 shirts or jumpers, 100000 pairs of
trousers, and $4,000 oYercoats.
In addition, large conti acts for
trousers and overcoats have been pre-
eiously let.
The cloth will be made in about 35
separate mills, so that supply is in
sured for the Navy regardless of any
accident
The various manufacturing sections
of the country are represented in the
awards, and goods will be made in
the following states: Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Rhcde Island, Penn

CONSCRIPTING IDLE LAND.
Excelsior, Mimi, Has Municipal Gar
dens For Adding to Food Supply,

Ce1S TOT NOuIn9 10 T0oo SuPPiJ
The town of Excelsior. Mimi. has
gone to the root Of the food production
and conservation matter. \ few of the
leading citizens who realized how Sc
rious the situation was becoming form
ed committee for the purpose of solv-
ing the problem and put in motion ma
chinery for the conscription of all the
idle land. A list was made of the un-
used land in and near Excelsior, and a
census was taken of every man. wom-
an and child in the city. Those who
had enlisted In the army or navy and
those who were physically unable to
work in a garden were excluded from
the list, and tract of land was as
signed to each of the rest. The well to
do citizens bought seed for the poorer
people. The local agricultural teacher,
Professor +. r. Little, was secured to
give lessons daily on gardening and
canning. Business men now take their
garden tools instead of their golf clubs
to the Office and hurry to the municipal
gardens after Office hours.
To insure the preservation of all the
crops which are grown locally the
school district purchased a two unit
canning outfit, which has been installed
in the high school This is capable OF
canning 5000 quarts a day and is in
charge of Professor Little, the agricul
ture teacher. No charge is made for
canning. Each person furnishes. his
own jars and either prepares the ma
terial at home or takes it to the school
house and prepares it there. The ster'
ilization is then done in the cannery.
