accurate account of all receipts and
expenditures he may have found that
his farming venture figured out in the
red and that his gevetables as they
came to his table really cost him
more than they would have cost had
he purchased them from the retailer.
This may all be true, but last years
war gardener should by all means be
a repeater. The big idea back of the
war garden is not to decrease the cost
of living, but to increase food produc-
ton; it is not to provide more or
cheaper food for the wearer of the
blisters, but to provide food for the
men in the trenches and the civilian
populations of the allied countries in
Europe.
The little back yard garden seems
but an insignificant affair, but the
sum total of their production last year
was no negligible item. It is esti-
mated that there were 100000 war
gardens in the United States last year
covering an aggregate of 1,15O,O0O
acres of city and town land. The val
ue of their yield is estimated at $780,
100000 or $3.50 per family. The
glass jar manufacturers sold about
100000 jars, and figuring on this
basis the housewives of the country
put up 5OO,OO0,OOO quart jars of fruits
and vegetables, about three times as
much as was ever packed before.
The war garden industry this year
should even exceed that of last year,
and cansundoubtedly be carried on with
more success. The gardeners can
start in this year with a big stock Of
experience on hand and can profit by
last years mistakes. The canning, too
can be done with much less expense
as most of the jar stocks will be on
hand.
Certain it is that there should be no
easing up on war gardens. The war
isn't won yet, and the food shortage
is just as acute if not more acute, than
last year and the back yard patriot
is better prepared than before to do
his part.
Last year several of Kennewick's
vacant lots were EARNED" by VIM.
Reynolds, who will not be in town this
year. Not only did Mr.. Reynolds war
gardens add much to the attractive
ness of the lots, but they produced
several tons of vegetables. The gar
dens should not be permitted to lie
idle this year. If nobody has appro-
priated them by planting time it would
be worth while for the Commercial
club to take some steps to see that
they are planted.

RUMOR MAKERS

"HERE is one class of individuals
who show no inclination to strike
They seem to be only too eager to
work long hours, overtime, Sundays,
holidays and all the time. They are
the rumor makers. Ever since the
war started they have been constantly
on the job and have shown an ingenu-
ity which, had it been turned to the
real business of making war, would
have had the Kaiser on the run by
this time.
One Of the rumor-makers' products
which has found it's way into nearly
every community of the Northwest is
the rumor to the effect that Albers'
Brothers, the well known milling firm,
are not American citizens and that
they have shown a noticeable lack of
patriotism in supporting the war work,
This rumor, like most of the others,
found it's way to Kennewick, and,
wishing to ascertain the facts Edward
Sheppard, Of this city wrote to the
Portland Oregonian. The reply fol
lows:
eve have your card asking if
Albers Brothers are citizens of the
United States. Yes, they are, and
have been for seventeen. years.
They have been in Portland for
many, many years and have built
up big business and have been
about as loyal to this country as
any American-born citizens could
be.
"From time to time we have
had suggestions made to us that
they are not citizens. Some of
their competitors might be respon-
sible for spreading this propagan-
da. We have made an investiga-
ton and find great wrong has
been done them. They are as
charitable as can be. They SUBJ

of Columbus and every drive.
They have been as liberal as could
be expected of them-in fact they
have done more"

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 27.-Commander
Truman II. Newberry, U. S. N, stationed
at the Brooklyn navy yard, has been
asked to withdraw as a candidate for
the republican nomination for the United
States senate from Michigan by Lieut.
Governor Lurend Dickinson and Repre-
sentative Martin Wiley.
Newberry recently filed statement
at Washington that he had spent no
money to win the nomination, that his
candidacy was in the hands of his friends
and that they had spent no money with
his knowledge or sanction.
Dickinson and Wiley claim the New
berry campaign which they compare to
the Lorimer and Stephenson scandals,
will cost from 100000 to 100000. New.
berry advertising has been running con.
tinuously In practically every Michigan
newspaper, and even in religious publ
cations. Other candidates have used
practically no advertising. Henry Ford
has not even campaigned.
The expensive headquarters main
tained for Newberry in this city, the 80
expensive county organizations, the
many dinners given in all parts of the
state. and the large amount of mail
publicity are cited.

CRIPPLES CAN ENJOY LIFE.

The real handicap of the wal
cripple lies in his loss of faith in his
own ability to enjoy. He knows
that science has done miracles in
refitting the shattered body, SO that
almost no cripple need by physical
ly unable to earn self-respecting
livelihood. But he fears that he is
to be an outsider in the happiness
OF everyday life.
1t is upon this idea that the med
ical corps bases its whole program
for the treatment of the wounded
soldier. From his first conscious
moment after he is wounded right
on up TO his discharge as physically
cured he must be cheered up. In
the surgeon generals files is let
ter that has been of much influence
IN mapping out the plans. The let
ter is from an American teacher,
himself a cripple. who has solved
his own problem and wishes to help
his fellow sufferers TO do the same.
He writes:
You must not only tit a man to
become a wage Garner, but, fully as
important, you must fit him 10 en-
JOY with his fellows the wages thus
earned. You will find, at least in
the mind of the cripple, that this sec
ond factor is the all-important one.
In all candor and seriousness, YOU
cannot hope to make the cripple a
self-respecting member OF society if
this factor is not taken into ac-
count"
He thereupon advocates cheer
up men" to work in the hospitals
and to accompany the war-crippled
on their voyage home. These men
will be recruited from the ranks OF
cripples who have been through the
mill and come out on top, who have
fought their fight against depression
and encouragement and won il.
There is very little in the world
OF action that is impossible" TO
the cripple today. At Washington
there is remarkable collection of
pictures showing so-called cripples
skating. swimming, playing billiards,
dancing, rolling cigar.ts, padding
canoes, doing hundreds of things
which we never before dreamed
were open to the armless. legless or
sightless ones.
Modern science has taken care OF
all the 'impossibilities." Ii is up to
the doctors. nurses. friends, relatives
and the cripples themselves to take
heart. Ii everybody does his part in
the work OF reconstruction this hor-
ror OF war, the ghost of ;he depend

FOUR MILLION FIGHTING
YANKS.

Gen. Peyton c. March testified
before the senate military affairs
committee, which was deliberating
the new draft law, that we need
100000 men in France next June.
With them Eve can go through the
German lines whenever we please
1t is big number. But, the
American people are used to big
figures now. What they want is to
win the, war, and to win it without
DELAY. To hold off now, to go slow,
TO be niggardly of men or OF re-
sources is like delaying taking the
aching tooth to the dentist. 1t keeps
on aching until it is taken there, and
the longer the delay the more seri-
Gus the dentistry, both in pain and
in pocketbook, at the end. Procras-
tinaton at this stage is simply play
ing the German game.
The country knows now what its
forces can do. 1t knows how they
fight. and with what success. The
rest is a matter of the multiplication
table.
The German way to make war
has been with a certain slow and
ponderous efficiency To produce
the devastation so far wrought they
have been educating the whole peo-
pie for 40 years. And at the end
of it they must lose.
The American way TO make war
is with speed and action and the
rapier thrust. Where the Germans
go, there follow disease and death.
The Americans cut clean, like the
surgeons knife. Healing follows
them.
If four million men are needed to
produce this result, the sooner they
are started on their way the better
