BACKYARD GARDENING PAYS
Cleveland Has Tried Plan for Five
Years to Ito Profit, and Many Other
Cities Have Taken Up the Idea.

"A vegetable garden for every home"
Is the ley slogan in Ontario, and It
is a slogan worth while. The provin.
cial government has launched a sys-
tematic campaign for backyard agri-
culture, and 1t proposes to show every
householder how he may, by domestic
farming, combat the increasing cost Of
living and the growing scarcity Of food.
stuffs, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
One of the aims Of the Ontario gov
eminent Is, of course, 10 to increase
the available food supply at home as
to enable the contribution Of still more
to the hard-pressed motherland. But
the plan must be broader In Its results.
Backyard gardening pays. Cleveland
has tried 1t, these i've years past, to
its profit, and scores Of other cities
have taken up the idea. The earth ia
the source Of wealth. The man who
cultivates a plot Of ground contributes
to the welfare of all mankind.
The new Canadian movement owes
Its origin to the stress OF war. It To-
the kind Of movement which perpetu.
ates itself. The man. the woman or
the child who once knows the delight
Of growing things 10 always the better
for 1t, and 10 Is his community. This
country can follow with profit the ex.
ample In intensive cultivation which
Ontario ID to furnish.

dies, It IL Urged.

It Is easy to. fall into a habit Of
petty criticism and detraction either Of
individuals or institutions. In the one
case, when directed by one person
against another 1t is commonly and
r~ightfNlly classed as malicious gossip
or SANDER. In the other case 1t Is
sometimes loftily designated as an exhi-
bition Of public spirit: Both are alike,
a shame and disgrace to the perpetra-
tors, an evil that should be suppressed,
says the indianapolis Star.
Men, naturally e%nterprising, who, I'M
der favorable circumstances, would
push the interests Of the community,
are deferred by the feeling that they
would meet with criticism and have
no encouragement, and saying to them
selves whats the use" remain pas
slve, leaving other cities to go forward
where theirs makes no Roadway or goes
back. Outside capitalists who hear
the echoes Of this d~etraction 60 else
where with their factories and shops.
If a city government is not what 1t
should be, there are formal and order
ly means of reforming It. II a police
force Is inefficient, a remedy is posi-
BILE without giving to the world the i'm.
preston that crime Is rampant and
life unsafe there by day or night. If
public service corporations do not act
squarely and fairly by the people,
there are legitimate remedies for such
conditions. If any public officer
makes mistakes, there are other ways
Of reaching him than by branding him
as a rascal OF the BLACKLIST dye. Men
In public office, being human, have
been known to be open to friendly re-
monstrance.
But the common scold, either in pri-
vate or public, never accompllshes
good.

ing their proper place in the trade.
More domestic goods are being sold
today than in many months. When
people found that it wal impossible
to get the imported wines, liquors,
beers, etc., they soon got wise to the
trade that was supplying domestic
goods as imported goods-with the re-
suit that today tn edemand for home
made goods is away and above the
average. Despite the progress pro-
hibition is making, the liquor interests
say that the business shows great
signs of largely Increasing during

yourself and yours now, and your pos.
terity in years to come.
A point blank refusal to consider
membership in a military organiza-
tion now, with the government facing
the gravest International crisis in its
history, is nothing less than a denial
of your love for your Country, an in
suit to the flag and a rank violation
of your rights as a citizen. That is,
Of course, provided you are physi-
cally fit and have no other binding
reason for not doing so. A single
man, able bodied and with no other
cares than his own livelihood has alb
solutely no xcu to offer why he
should not connect himself with a
military organization Of some kind
and prepare himself and help prepare
his Country.
One hundred and thirty three men
are necessary to muster in the Bat
terry and that number should have
been recruited in Greenwood in three
weeks easily. There seems to be a
lack of patriotic enthusiasm in a GER
tain circle in Greenwood, which in
cludes a good number of the young
men of the city, which very probably
accounts for the required number not
having been reached before this.
Water Valley, jackson, Laurel have
organized batteries. Indianola has
organized a company Of engineers and
has a large cash deposit toward an
armory. Plans for the organization
Of a Battery in Greenwood were start
ed before any Of the above cities
of organizing,
Your Country needs you, your name
needed on the roll of the Battery,
and you need them both! Now is the
time to join if you are going to so
see Captain Metts today.

The First Mississippi Infantry reg.

for home tomorrow, March Is, and
will probably reach Jackson Saturday
night. Just as soon as the regiment
has reached the Capital Captain AL
bert Nets, and Mr.. Harry Hulen will
leave for that city to see how many
of the enlisted men will transfer from
the infantry to the Battery of Artil-
lery which is being organized here.
The Battery only lacks about thirty
men, practically one hundred men be-
ing signed up. It is very probable
that the necessary thirty men can be
secured from the home coming forces,
so if there is anyone still contemplate
ing joining it will be well for them to

There r some reasons which can
be advanced with candor why some
men cannot join a military organiza-

physically not fit for service, there

there are some men who offer no rea-

In the past when the National
Guards received no pay except when
on duty, and military organizations
were perfected as much for the fun of
the thing as for service a man had
some reason to refuse and he could do
it without any conscientious scrupple.
But now when you enlist in a military
organization you are paid by the Fed

the future, and you are protecting
