resources said Mr.. Clark In ex-
planning the Thrift Garden. propa-
ganda, whether we are drawn into
war or not. Thrift gardening will
teach our people economy. thrift and
preparedness. We have become an
e~xtrayagant people because OF our
abundance. We have been profligate
with natures store house. The pres
ent distressing situation is, in my
opinion. largely due to willful waste.
while the National Clean Up and
Paint Up Campaign Bureau is large
iy concerned in the sanitary. safety
and decorative phases of community
work, it recognizes that the Thrift
Garden is n of the best means to
this end.
The great waste through the
unused backyards of a community is
appalling. A plot of ground 25x5o
feet should produce not less than
$50. and under right and favorable
conditions should produce 500.
Thrift gardens would add consider
ably to the wealth of a city and ma
terially lessen the cost OF living to
the individual householder.
but, aside from the cash value of
a Thrift Garden, there are other re-
turns. the value of which cannot be
estimated.
First, Ut gives occupation and
tends to create a contented mind.
1t keeps man close to the heart of
nature. 1t teaches children the basic
principles of life and the love of
Mother Earth.
Then, too, there is health and
exercise value In Q Thrift Garden.
Exercise for exercise alone TO busy
people is a bore and not regularly or
long continued.
There's as much difference in the
taste OF vegetables fresh from the
garden and those bought in the mar
ket as there is in seasoned and un-
seasoned food, to say nothing about
the nourishing qualities.
1--WE are offering silver trophy
cups and medals for the best Thrift
Gardens in the 1000 cities where we
inauguratea clean up and paint up
campaigns, and to as many more
cities who will join US in the Thrift
Garden movement of the National
Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign"
Mr.. Clark places special emphasis
in the backyard thrift garden, as it
is possible for every householder to
reduce the cost of living by his own
industry through utilizing what here
tofore has been waste.
Plans are being formulated also
for the conduct OF vacant lot and
waste ground thrift gardens through
| organized charities.
Only understanding vegetables
should be grown in back yard or
other limited space thrift gardens.
such as lettuce, radishes, onions,
string beans, beets, carrots and to-
matoes. In the vacant lot and larger
plots thrift garden potatoes may be
grown profitably, especially al the
present market price of $4,000 per
bughei.

Do some foods you eat hit back taste good, but work badly; ferment into acids and cause a sick, sour, gassy stomach? Now, MT. or Mrs. Dyspep- tic, jot this down: Pape's Diapepsin helps neutralize the. excessive acids in the stomach so your food won't sour and upset you.

 You feel different as soon as Tapes s Dfapepsin" comes in contact with the stomach-distress just vanishes-your belching, no eructations of undigested food, your head clears and you feel fine.
 Go now, make the best investment you ever made, by& getting a large ffty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any drug store. You realize in five minutes how needless it is to suffer from indigestion. dyspepsia or any stomach disorder due to acid fer

The worlds history offers an extra ordinary and wonderful example for the Twentieth Century woman in Joan of Arc. the patron Saint of France, ac- cording to Miss Geraldine Farrar The famous Metropolitan Opera prirna don ma has just completed three months work in California acting the role of Joan of Arc in a massive motion pic ture produced under the direction of Cecil B. DeMille and entitled "Joan the Woman" It will be shown at the Davis for three days. commencing to- day.
 Joan of Arc lived five hundred years ago, yet the problems she met and mastered, rising in the end to achieve mentS to which no other woman either before or after her has attained, are the problems universay to women of all ages said Miss Farrar. Tt is not as If another Joan of Arc will rise from our midst in this generation to be commander -in-c chief of a great nations army, but in their small way thous- ands of women in all parts of the world are miniature loans.
 Joan of Arc. more than any wo- man who ever lived. stood for equali- ty and for woman's place in the world, not only alongside of man. but as the leader of men, What community is there but has it's woman leader, it's Feminine mind that is more far-seeing than the masculine and S1ore idealis- tic?
 First of all. Joan stood for a prin- ctple. Inspired by the voices who talked to her in her dreams. she was determined she had a mission in life to. perform. Rebuffed ridiculed, wounded by word and sword, she chung tenactously- to her purpose. That the world which circumscribes the life ac- tivitfess of the modern woman is more limited than loans world does not al- ter the opportunities of the modern woman to fight and win as she fought and won.
 Never lived there an opportunist like Joan Of Arc. Her constant cry was The time is so short and there is so much to be done!' Even after she rais- ed the siege of Orleans in one of the most brilliant military exploits of all ages, she was not content to remain idle in her newly won honors Where those around her counted time in months and years. Joan counted the days.
 What finer lesson could Joan of Arc have left behind her for the mod ern woman to ponder over? How often is heard the statement that tomor- row will be good enough? With Joan there was no tomorrow-everythin today"
