WAR GARDENS
FOR WHOLE STATE
Commission Of Public Safety to Get
Community Action for increased
Efforts This Year.

Gardening is to be major under
taking in Minnesota this year. Last
year village, town and city jewellers
made beginning. But this year
every vacant lot is expected to be
put to service and made to do it's
patriotic duty Gardening is to be
made an organized industry instead
of series of sporadic individual ex-
periments.
The Commission of Public Safety
is urging community action in war
gardening throughout the state. AL
communities have been asked to get
busy early, both to increase the num-
Der of gardens, and to limit planting
to the vegetables which will be most
available to relieve the food strin-
gency. The whole garden program
is summed up in two phrases: Grow
all you can; and grow only such vege-
tables as are most needed and which
will keep. The following fundamen-
tails in successful gardening are en-
phasized: ~. - !. -. - -.
81. Formulate a definite program
of production for your community,
prepared by practical and 4 expert
enced local gardens including only
those vegetables that can be pro-
duced by the greatest possible mum
Der. Seeds are scarce, therefore a
war garden this yea should be limit
ed to a few vegetables that can be
easily and politically produced.
y. Secure, the services Of com
petent person to supervise the gar
den movements in your community.
If possible secure the voluntary
services of a good amateur gardener
in every block to give aid and advice
to his neighbors. I. 81
"3. List all available lots and va
cant land, and as soon as possible,
list all who want gardens.

:. 1t requires no stretch Of imagin-
alton to see or say that every effort
is being made to free Governor
Burnquist from trouble at the prim-
aries, and that the move is being at
tended with some success. The word
is being generally sent around that
this is not a proper time for a
change and the propaganda is falling
on fertile ground. Many opposed to
the governor are being brought over
to his standard. Politically the gov
ernor is weak. He is not an adept
in the game and in consequence quite
a few sore spots have broken out
over the state: The safety commits
sion and it's activities have also
caused him trouble. So far neither
he or his advertisers have attempted
to do much in curative way, but
it is expected that activities will
start with the first of the coming
month.
Farmers of Minnesota will pay 81
a pound this year for state manu-
featured binding Irvine as against
1884 cents for The trust product.
Maximum prices fixed by the govern
ments is 1884 cents and it is certain
that the trust will demand the full
figure. What state manufactured
binding Irvine means to the farmers
of Minnesota is indicated in cold
figures which show saving last year
of nearly $1,000,00O for those using
the board of control product, and
this too in the face of the fact that
the board was hard pushed to get
raw material. Early purchases of
sisal at a price that could not be
duplicated later permitted the sale
of Irvine at figure much under the
trust product and nothing was over.

DUTY, NOT CHARITY.

There are people. strange it may seem. who make
excuses to the collectors for the Red Cross
If they hadn't just put all they could raise
into Liberty bonds
IN they weren't buying Thrift stamps
cording to a regular system"
IF they didn't have to pay the income
so soon"
The prize excuse is this-and it has been heard by
more than one Red Cross worker
THE cost of living is so high that I have all
do to keep my family going comfortably
as it is. and 1 do feel 1 give anything
this time for charity"
There are two serious misconceptions in this view.
First, charity" namely dependents
of a community is a careless matter Of luxury, to
which may throw little change every
thing else has attended This is respon-
sibIe the misery cities. more
epdemics and criminaty than the selfish and thought
same stupid charitygivers who won't give money and
about the vsitatons of providence when typhoid and
polomyelitis sweep the land.
The other misconcepton is that the Red Cross is
charity to which may throw little spare change
feel emotional glow of sef-satisacton, and forget
it.
The Red Cross is ypur agency, doing your duty for
you. You have business letting young out
of community fight for your protection without
giving them the chance in the world to survive
to have their suffering minimized.
Giving to the Red Cross is no luxurious little sor
to selfish conscience. It's a matter of simple duty
