themselves.
George Hayden will take over

Backyard gardening means even
more than the production of food sup
plies. 1t means for every pound of
food produced in your garden an
equal amount of ~poundage will be re-
leased to the railroads for war traffic
that labor will be released from ham
ding such shipments, and that an
equal amount will be left over for
the boys in France"
Daylight saving and home garden
ing go hand-in-hand. 1t is now up
to the people of this community to
see to it that this hour is used to
the greatest possible advantage, not
only to the government, but to our-
selves. Let us not be compelled to
call on other states this year who are
more patriotic than we, to furnish
US with foods for the winter. We
need not if we take advantage of the
daylight plan.

Public Meetings in LOrdsburg

Lately we have had a number
of patriotic meetings. These gath
erings are a fine thing for the
community. They bring us to-
gether and at the same time we
learn something. Witness the
chautauqua-the Information we
got and the pleasure derived
were we'll worth the cost.
These meetings are not to
make US more patriotic. The
average citizen of Lordsburg
would knock a fellow down that
questioned his patriotism He
figures that ne is patriotic as he
possibly could be-.
In spite of this, these meetings
do a good work., namely, they
arouse our patriotism. They have
awakened in us the latent love of
country. my country, may she
eUer be right, but right or wrong,
my countrY!"

When a citizen goes to a bank
and borrows money with which
to purchase a Liberty Bond or to
arrange for buying one or more
on the monthly payment plan he
is showing a greater patriotic
spirit and is making a greater
sacrifice than the one who mere
ly puts his surplus in Liberty
Bonds.

A medal is offered to every
boy whose sales are made in ten
different families, regardless of
the denomination of the bonds.
The Boy Scout movement in
Lordsburg is now one. year old
and the boys have done good
work. The organization should
receive the hearty support of
every citizen, and il your boy is
not a member you should see to
it that he is enrolled at the
earliest possible date.
Saturday evening at z O'Clock
the boys will hold a rally at the
Methodist parsonage. Ice cream
and cake will be served.
Plans are under way for a two
weeks camp on the river when
school closes, and all boys de-
string to avail themselves of this
opportunity for an outing should
get busy and get their applica-
tons in now. ]. E. FULLER,
