LIVING AT HOME WILL PARTIALLY SOLVE
THE FOOD PROBLEM.

One phase of the food question that will have
big influence is that of transportation. We
are already experiencing a serious car shortage
and in case a large army is modified this sum-
mer conditions have a small chance for improve
ment. Now the people themselves can in large
measure remedy this matter. This can be done
by a substantial effort all over the country to
feed all the people from their own soil and pro-
duce surplus besides. The surplus would be
used by the army or shipped to our allies abroad
Every state, every county, even every neigh
borhood should organize its forces so that as
nearly as possible all food consumed in any sec
ton shall be produced in that section For in
stance, certain section of the country has never
heretofore raised sufficient potatoes for home
consumption. II should be the aim of that sec
ton to raise every bushel needed for home con-
sumption. and if possible some to spare
OF small fruits the same might be said, gar
den produce-even corn itself The great con-
sideration is to have the stuff itself on the
ground where it is needed for consumption This
would release large numbers of cars for use in
transporting the army and its supplies.
II there were any means of accurately deter
mining the number of cars annually needed to
move foodstuffs from one locality where they
are produced in abundance to others where they
are not produced, we would no doubt be aston
ished at the number required. But by the plan
suggested the matter of distribution would be n
small item. You can not show your loyalty in
any better way than by straining every nerve to
make yourself Independent Of any man in the
matter of food.
About the greatest commentator that can be
given any man this year will be the familiar old
phrase. "He lives at home"

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT FOR THFSF
SMALLER TOWNS.
Contributed.

One of the greatest travesties-we might almost saw trace
of municipal government in the small towns the alderman
board usually by these communities For and
ot inefency as relates the vital welfare the town
mend us to some these town boards Not that it usually
posed of Interpretations they seldom are-but that taken
working whole its capabilities are NIL
In the first place the smaller towns, and even the larger m
which vet do not attain to the dignity of cities compelled
upon voluntary service in THE capacity few towns being M
TO in any remunerate their board members for their scr
vices This being true though often composed of good
reasons impeng many them to undertake the service Az
varied and frequently decidedly antagonc to the best Interests
of the community.
The nefcency of many boards is joke and bywor Al
over the land the for it is found in the familiar Oh
sdage that that which everybodys business is nobs s
Serving usually with little or no compensation the
hers feel that what service they do render is the mature
of charity entirely ignoring the fact that their interests ar
bound up with those the community. Then again. seems
Ito exploit thecommunty for his own personal benefit
Hence frequently ranspres that attention given for
wadng private interests of the individual members than
serving the public welfare.
But there remedy for this state Of affairs and is
the system of commission governments has been thought By
that commission government could not be successfully
piled to small towns but experience is disprovng this belief OF
years many Of the smaller cities and towns have adopted
this system and it is found to work most satisfactorily
While few afford salaries for large board members
almost any afford modest salaries for two three
msones and this salary forms to begin with nducemen
public service.
In the commission system duties clearly defined and al
oed TO each and most important ALL each held individually
Irresponsible for the faithful performance Of these duties whereas

worth while accomplished and in particular is cen

pick it's commissioners each with view TO his special fitness for
handling the specific duties included in his department The
missioner Of streets and soforh should have capacity
for this line Of work. and the Same should apply 20 the other

Lastly the system furnishes inducement TO achievement

GARDENING

Much has been said of late in re-
gard to gardening, and there is no
doubt but what every vacant spot
will be turned into gardens this spring
This would be one of the most pro-
gressive and active moves citizens of
any city, village or town could make.
The formation of clubs would be a
good thing, including enthusiastic
outdoor workers, who are looking
forward to great accomplishments.
The organizing of clubs would un-
doubtedly further stimulate interest
along this line and the formation of
them should be encouraged.
Last year there was flower garden
club contest held in this city by chill
dren with members of the Garden
club acting as judges. In the fall a
flower show was conducted at the
library and wonderful results were
obtained. 1t is hoped that those in
strumental in getting the children
interested last year, will make plans
for a similar contest this year. If
not flower garden, a vegetable gar
den would be a good thing. The
children should be allowed to enter
exhibits of their efforts at the county
fair in the fall By giving them this
privilege, they would be more apt to
become interested and would have
something TO look forward TO, and
would work harder.
The garden movement ought TO re-
ceive much commentator from
waussu residents.
Ii viii soon Do time for the spring
