7fom quarter to half an acre Of
ground, and quarter or half acre
will produce vegetables and small
fruits for most any family for the en-
tire year.
Look around you and locate the men
who are loudest against the prevail
ing high prices. Are they men who
have cultivated good gardens and truck
patches? No, indeed These men have
cellars well stored with sweet and
Irish potatoes; they have probably
raised and fattened a pig or two; they
have fruits and vegetables canned and
preserved, and are really living at
home. And they don't have night
mares near the end of the month over
the grocery bill that must be paid on
the first.
Let us have a revival of gardening
interest in this town this year. Let
everyone of us who have few square
feet or yards of soil see to it that
that soil produces this summer all of
which it is capable. If we have no
surplus ground of our own, then let's
rent vacant lot from some neighbor
and turn it into food for the family.
Many people in this town buy all
of their groceries and provisions from
the store and from peddlers, paying
out large sums in the course of a year
while they have ample land lying idle
from which they could supply a ma
jority of their wants in this line.
This is not only poor economy, but it
is rank extravaganza.
But that is the way of the average
American citizen. He buys beans and
raises eockleburs. He buys potatoes
and raises dog fennel. In short, he
buys all he eats and raises hell gen.
orally over the prices he has to pay.
An important phase of the question
lies in the splendid possibilities for
health afforded by the congenial task
Of gardening.
Every dweller in a city or small
town should, if possible, acquire a
piece of ground to work through the
summer, be it ever so small. An hour
or two of diligent work in the soil is
Natures finest tonic. It will dissipate
the worst case of Crouch; it is a per
feet liver regulator, cures dyspepsia,
is an excellent remedy for rheumatism

THEATERS
Photoplay at the
Oliver Good But
Tale is Sordid

There is so much that is big and
virile about Gods Country and the
Woman" the photoplay which
opened at the Oliver Thursday. that
il is a pity that the same cannot he
said for the story. Beautiful pho
tographic effects. picturesque and
stirring scenes. and forceful acting
combine 10 make this film a very
satisfying entertainment, so long as
one forgets the essentials Of the plot
about which the play is built.
This detracting feature is by no
means confined to the scenario of
Gods Country and the Woman;
it is markedly apparent in many of
the so-called big features" Every
drama of serious types the techni-
clans tell us. represents the clash
Of conflicting agencies. usually the
forces of good and evil: and love
interest is usually vital element in
the theme. Scenario writer's. having
worn many plot elements thread bare
and finding themselves up against
it, for ideas TO ring changes on
these elements, have gone a long
way afeld
The dramatists OF the screen have
put over "a good many plots that
would back The Kreutzer Sonata"
off the boards, and yet not one Of
them has seemed to cause the spec
tatOrs 10 bat an eye, much less
arouse a storm such as ragged about
that drama Of the spoken stage.
But there will come an end TO this
slush which is perpetrated in the
name of realism, the reaction will
set in sooner or later. Then the
public will be spared nastiness
which deals with illegitimacy and
other sOrdid themes as though such
dealing were not grievous Offense
against good taste and an assault
upon the moral sense. There is
nothing squeamish about the person
who prefers whOlesOmeness to raci-
ness and filth.
Gods Country and the Woman"
Is neither racy nor filthy. but the
basis of its story is a colossal COM
bination of sordidness and deception
which is utterly unworthy Of the
talents and the money expended in
its production.

An increased demand for
houses means higher rents.
WHY PAY RENT?

houses means higher rents.
WHY PAY RENT?
We will sell YOU a house on
payments like rent.
If you purchase a home. the
increase of land values enrich
eS you. If you pay rent, the
increase of land values en-
riches the landlord at your
expense.
We mentioned this fact
some FIVE years ago. Had you
acted then, you would own
your home today.
Your ife's ambition should
be and is to own a home.
Achieve that ambition to-
day-we will help you.
A year ago some declared
for 100000 population fox
South Bend o. 1920" The
estimate is no longer a dream.
Our hard-headed business
men accept the prediction as
a moral certainty. They are
investing their money on the
assumption of an unprece-
denied growth of the CITY.
Increased population means
an increased value to every
foot IF land in South Bend.
Will you share in this m
crease of wealth? A payment
OF fifty cents each week will
enable you TO share TO the ex-
tent of one lot. No interest
or taxes for a term of years.
These terms apply to three
subdivisions in favorable To-
cations.
BUY LOTS-We believe
we can offer YOU the most
favorable opportunities and
the most favorable terms
But more important than buy
ing from us is the adviSabiliy
of your buying one or more
vacant lots.

our offerings.
