WHAT A MILLION DOOR
YARDS CAN DO
(By United Press J

WASHINGTON, April Z. With
out going beyond their own door
yards millions of American women
can render real service TO the nation.
This service is as real as that render
ed by the soldier on the field Of bat
tie. II is to plant and care for the
little plot of land that lies back Of
the hOuse--to make home garden.
One million dooryard gardens
planted in our suburbs and cities this
spring would mean a national saw
ing of possibly s50,000,000, sum
as large as that which President
Mckinley was given by congress for
the prosecution of the Spanish
American war. Growing vegetables
for home consumption in these gar
dens would relieve the railroads Of
the necessity of carrying millions of
pounds Of bulky freight thus releas-
ing thousands of cars and engines for
hauling men and munitions.
Our experts have calculated that
an average American family uses
about 20 bushels Of potatoes a year.
II does not take but fraction of an
acre to produce this quantity of this
important foodstuff since fair yield
of this crop is 200 bushels in sea
son, and It is not uncommon for po-
tatoes to run to 400 or more bushels
per acre.
Radishes, lettuce, early beets, beans
peas. tomatoes, spinach, and numer-
Gus easily cultivated vegetables can
be raised in the back yard provided
the soil is fertile and intelligence Is
empoyed in the process. There is no
reason in the world why 5000. .000
back yard gardens should not be
planted this spring, planted as soon
as the ground is warm enough, and
and supply 100000 families with
good. cheap, nutritious foods all this
summer, war or no war.
The hitherto wasted resource oI
our dooryard land should be utilized
at once. II is no more work for a
woman to tend vegetable garden
than 1t is to tend flower garden OF
a house plant. At present 1t ia more
patriotic to subordinate flowers tc

ed as it was when Abraham Lincoln
first called him to the colors.
Captain w. G. Davidson, was the
next old veteran to take the platform
and assure the people that he again
stood Just where he stood in the
Spring of 1861. He spoke as man
who having faced unflinching the
hail Of lead, and the barrier of cold
steel, knew what it was, and while
appreciating its full significance, and
praying to God that the youth of to-
day might be spared knowledge of
its flavor, yet also knew how to re-
spond to duty's call, and had con-
fidence that the sons of today would
prove themselves worth! of their
sires.
Comrade John w. Wingate, in a
speech full of his characteristic fire
and energy, assured his audience that
he still had several fights left in him,
and that he only wanted chance to
do those things which he felt he still
could do. He assured the young men
and boys that their place was behind
the colors, and wanted everybody to
know that there were many Of the
boys of 81, who still knew how to
carry the stars and stripes over the
rampaits of the foe.
Among others who were called up
on for remarks were county Commits
sioner Mccartney, ex-commissioner
A. f. Reece, AL George. w. A. Bay
w. B. Cummings and W. p. Reeder
Some Of these mentioned have
sons in the army and their only re-
gret was that they themselves could
not go. Some were in the Spanish
American war and said that they
would be glad to respond again to the
country's call
The chairman announced that the
navy recruiting officers would be at
the Durango Exchange directly after
the meeting and would he glad to
talk with all interested. As the
crowd wended their way from the
building the band struck up famil-
lar air which brought the patriotic
demonstration to fitting close.

Los ANGELES, April 7. - If you

"If you can control dogs emo

can't expect dog to obey il you are

for the tlfst time in this genera
ton the people of the San Juan have
realized that our country is entering
upon a great war, world war. 1t was
last night that evidence was given
that the people are awake to the sit
uation. Thousands gathered in tie
streets and on the sidewalks to par
ticipate in the parade along Main
avenue and Join in the other patriot
ic demonstrations appropriate to the
occasion.
As the mammoth parade moved
from 10th st. down Main Ave. with
Matt Harrington leading with the aid
OF Messrs Bluck and Montgomery in
marshalling the forces, thousands fill
ed the sidewalks on either side The
city was full to the overfowing. Peo-
pile came from far and near to paItic-
ipate in the big patriotic demonstra-
tion.
Following the leader came the
Smelter band. Then came the Grand
Army of the Republic with its fife
and drum corps, one of the chief at
fractions Of the big parade, the lodges
and lodge members, Spanish-A
can war veterans, sons of veterans
and civilians. There was music and
the waving of flags such as has new
or been seen in Durango before and
may never he seen again by this gen
Grafton. The parade moved along to
the depot and then back again amidst
the roaring anvil shots and din of the
the various whistles until it found its
way to the vicinity of Redmen hall
where as many as possible entered
amidst the cheers of the multitude
and music by the bands and drum
corps.
City Manager Hood was the chair
man of the meeting who called upon
Rev Grim of the First Methodist
church to open the netting with pray
er whihc was full of those thoughts
appealing for divine assistance, and
that our nation stand for the right
aud be awarded the honors of victory.
MIR. Hood then in very interesting
manner said that he sympathized
with the German people who had
chosen this as their country and who
had left relatives behind and were
now sorely afflicted. In the course
Of his remarks during the evening he
made it very plain that he was strong
" opposed to the German govern
ment and the ruling house of that
nation. He paid many compliments
TO the German people Of Germany
and the Germans who had come to
make their homes in America.
The chief speaker of the evening
was Lieutenant Governor Pulliam who
in an interesting and forcible man
ner called attention to the struggles
thru which this country has gone ir
order to reach the present glory ant
civilization. With his minds eye he
could see the veterans at Bunkerhil
and Valley Forge. He could see Pau
Jones and other naval heroes as they
brought glory to the American flag

SAN JUAN BEHIND
THE GOVERNMENT

He saw the armies Of the United
States march successfully across
Mexico. He could see the millions of
soldiers on the battle grounds of the
Civil war doing duty and bringing hon
or to the American flag. He could
see Roosevelt at San Juan Hill and
Admirals Dewey and Sampson estab-
fishing the prestige of mighty ma
tion and no love for conquest. Judge
Pulliam was at his best and his adj
dress was most timely and brought
forth the continual applause of the
big audience. In closing he admon-
ished every American to stand by the
President and congress in carrying
united people for the glory and
honor of that flag that has floated
in triumph on so many occasions and
that has never yet been trampled up
on by any foe. He was right and the
audience said he was right time and
again. At the close he was given
round after round OF applause
After the band bad played a patriot
ic selection Secretary Wilson of the
Exchange moved that suitable reso-
lutions be drafted by committee
named by the chair. The motion car
ried unanimously and Judge Searcy,
Attorney Ritter and c. l.. Young
We're named rs committee which
drew up the following resolutions
which were unanimously adopted and
ordered sent to the President:
WHEREAS, the despotic rulers
of Germany, in betrayal of the friend
ship long existing between the COM
mon people Of Germany and the peo-
pie of the United States, and in de-
fiance of the law of nations, and in
violation of the laws of humanity,
have forced our government to de-
clare an existing state of war.
AND WHEREAS, that war is de.
clared, and under the wise guidance
of our President, will be waged, not
for conquest, nor any selfish gain, but
for defense of the rights and princi-
piles of our beloved Republic against
the lawless and inhumane aggressions
of monarchy; and for the preserva-
tion of republican selfgovermment
among the several nations of the
earth; an to make human liberty Sc
cure and safe and lasting peace
among nations possible.
THEREFORE RESOLVED, That
we pledge our earnest loyalty and
active support to our President and
the government in the coming con-
flict; and will do all within our pow
er to bring victory to the American
flag.
And let it be known that this pledge
covers many Germantown, loyal
American citizens.
While the committee was busy,
Chairman Hood announced that some
of the veterans of the Grand Army
of the Republic, had few words to
say, and called upon Comrade W. H.
LaCuont. The stored up feelings Of
the audience gave vent to itself when
the blind old warrior climbed upon
| the stage, and faced his fellow citi-
zens. Emotions were variously ex-
pressed, some with cheers, and many
in tears. Had Comrade LaCount new
er uttered word his presence was
all the eloquence the occasion re-
quired, but he spoke, and spoke in
words befitting the calm, determined,
and patriotically persistent spirit,
which carried him over the battle
fields in '62, and which still lives in
the feeble old body, just as strong
