to keep the garden clean of weeds to

to gardening or wish to have their
children take an interest in the gar
den to hire laborer to do the heavy

Seed For n Family of Four
The following amounts of seed, the
garden specialists of the L. S. Depart

to plant approximately 100 feet OF
row, or enough to supply vegetables
for family of four:
Beans, snap. 1 pint.
Beans, pole lima, u pint.
Beans, bush lima, Y to pint.
Cabbage, early, x ounce.
Carrot, l ounce.
Cauliflower, l packet.

Parsnips, u ounce.
Satisfy, l ounce.
Squash, summer, n ounce.

The following vegetables, the spe-
cialists say, will undoubtedly be plant
ed in larger amounts than those Just
mentioned, and the amounts of seed
given will be a guide for ordinary re-
quirements. Some families may need
more of the various vegetables and
others would need less:
Beet, ounces.

What at first looked like a bad
accident occurred about o'clock
Saturday morning on the paved
road near the Cushman Indian
school, when E. Christofferson,
riding a bicycle toward Tacoma,
collided with an automobile
driven by a man named Palmer,
headed toward Puyallup.
Christofferson was knocked un-
conscious. John Buschko, a
truckdriver for the county, who
saw the accident, stopped and
helped the driver of the automo-
bile, who said his name was Pal
mer and that he was driving an
army post bus, to lift Christoffer-
son into the machine, and told
him to take the injured man to
the county hospital.
Christofferson recovered con-
seriousness at the hospital and is
said to be apparently not seriously
hurt.

Food Conservation


This being food conservation
week, there is much agitation,
also discussion, among the people.
wonder how many of us poor
people need to be urged to have
one meatless day per week, when
the truth is, with the present
price of meat, the majority of us
have only one meal per week in
which we boast of having meat,
and then it is usually one of the
cheaper cuts.
AS to a wheatless day, to my
self this would be no hardship as
far as taste is concerned, as l am
very fond of corn bread If it is
made right, but with corn meal
retailing at Is cents per nine
pound sack, which means 1915
per As pounds, whereas flour
sells at from $2.75 per 40 pounds,
and contains much more nutri-
ment, how many are going to
deny themselves what they really
like no matter how many food
pledge cards they sign, especially
when by SO doing they are Grip
pling their own purse. They are
loyal United States citizens, too,
but necessity compels them to
purchase that which contains the
most nutriment for the least
money.
For my part l am using less
than the four pounds of flour per
person, and will now commence
using more corn meal, but
would certainly like to see the
price brought down to where it
would not seem such a luxury.
When the card distributor
came to my house and I de-
INJURED at pledging myself to do
something l had already been do
ing for months CI might also add,
years., she began telling me any
one who would not sign one of
these cards to help our govern
ment to provide for our allies was
traitor and should go to Ger
many, where they belonged.
Now my ancestors, also those
of my husband, are all either
Scotch or English, and that re-
mark did not have the right
effect.
Instead of making me willing
to sign pledge, it reused all the
johnny Bull that was in me, and
/ did not sign 1t. Consequently,
when you pass my door you will
see no food conservation card in
the window, but the spirit is
there and whether you know it or
not, ] am helping Uncle Sam and
his allies in every saving which
can make.
1t has taken this war to awak-
en- some people to their wasteful-
ness. To me, waste is and has
alwa.G been a sin.
If this appeal for food conser-
walton reaches the right spot in
certain peoples hearts 1t will
mean everything to the U. S. A.
and her allies, but we poor people
would like to see these meat and
wheat substitutes brought down
to within our reach, and now
when the good people of Tacoma
and elsewhere now and then find
a window without the little red,
white and blue card please don't
brand them as German sympa-
thizers. Perhaps they, too, got
their Johnny Bull and good old
American blood aroused and did
just the same as | did.
1t is not the ones who holler
the loudest that always do the
most. If the people who are dis
tributing these cards all assume
the attitude that the one I came
In contact with, I am really sur
prised that anybody signed cards.
