A LOCAL GARDENER

Fred Jensen is an elderly gentle
man, who is operating war gardens
about town, having seven in Black
foot. He haised a good many pota-
toes for the early market, and made
some money on them. He raised
turnips, beets, peas, beans and many
other things to sell early while most
people were still getting vegetab les
at the store. He has corn, eggplant.
cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes and
loads Of other things crisp and sweet
that he is carting to the stores and
shipping money back on trucks or
something.
Mr.. Jensen has a way OF putting
seeds into the ground so they grow
and replenish the earth. He isn't
very strong on fighting the weeds,
but he produces the vegetables and
proves that grocery bills can be re-
duced on the farms if people will set
aside garden spots and keep plant
ing. People who complain that they
cannot raise garden might try rails
ing trees for windbreak. That will
help great deal.

CRUELTY FOR AMERICANS
Germany to Deny Prisoners the
Courtesies of War.

With the American Armies in
France, Dec. 2o.-Fresh proof of the
bent OF the German mind toward wal
atrocities against Americans came to-
day.
Reliable information in the Ameri-
can zone was that Germany intends to
treat American prisoners as "men OF
no intelligence and persons not en-
titled to the ordinary courtesies ac-
corded prisoners OF war;
Presumably it is the intention to
employ American war prisoners in
low forms of labor, and to treat them
in the same horrible fashion that Ger
many has always treated her Russian
prisoners.
The condition of Russians in Ger
man war camps has been SO wretched
as to arouse even neutral nations to
protest. They were held about on
the same level as beasts and COM
PEELED to live in surroundings which
even self respecting animals would
abhOr.
