WAR GARDENS WERE SUCCESS
Home Vegetable Patches Yielded $780,.
100000 and Expected to Do Better
Next Summer.

What about the war gardens Of
1917? Did they amount TO anything?
Did they yield any profits? Win
there be war gardens in 1918?
The national emergency food gar
den commission declares the war
gardens were a success, and gives the
greatest encouragement for next
years war gardens.
In 1917 there were nearly 3,000,-
900 gardens, aggregating l,15O,O0O
acres Of city and town land under
cultivation As these gardens were
titled ihtensively, the products had
relatively high value, being figured
in terms Of retail prices which would
have otherwise been paid for food
purchased elsewhere, it is estimated
that their yield was valued at $780,
100000, or $3.50 per family.
The glass jar manufacturers sold
about 100000 canning jars and
a survey of the household canning
in 20 typical towns throughout the
country showed that housewives used
but one new jar to over three and
one quarter old jars already on
hand.
On this basis the housewives Of the
country put up nearly 500,000,OOO
quart jars Of vegetables and fruits,
which is believed to be three times as
much as was ever packed before.

BRITAIN's ARMY NEEDS.

The British armies in France
alone each month require $4,000 tons
of oats; 100000 gallons Of gaso-
line, 10000 tons Of -four, 100000
pounds of jam, and 10000 tons Of
hay. Ponder on these figures, writes
Isaac F. Marcosson in the Saturday
Evening Post, and you begin to real
ize that demands are written on ten
league canyases with brushes of
comets hair!

THERE GOES A TRUE AMERICAN

The difference in mems character sometimes
contrast is staggering in some cases.
An incident occurred few days ago that
is worthy of notice For days the examining
physician for the exemption board has been busy
examining registrants and classifying them.
Of the large number examined by that official,
not one up to that time expressed himself in such
{; manner. More Or less they looked for excuses
and apparently hoped for defects in their makeup
that would exempt them In this case, after the
doctor had examined the registrant thoroughly,
class he would be in. At the same time he was
told that he could appeal to higher board of
examiners for classification but he would have
to appeal that very day The answer came as a
blow that staggered the examiner, for he was
OF accustomed to such answer; and this is what
the young man replied: "Why should appeal?
There is nothing wrong with me, and I got it
figured out that it is up to us young fellows to
go ahead and win this war" Apparently pleased
to be in class Al, he walked out as unconcerned
as a man could be- And the doctor murmured,
There goes a true American"
Yes indeed "a true American and what
difference between that boy and others. Some
try every which way to evade duty. They offer
al kinds of excuses. Not he and although a
mere boy in years, big man in character and a
true American in patriotism. Ketchikan may
well be proud Of Eugene E. Thomas

A QUEER COMBINATION.

Attorney General George Grigsby says Mrs.
Hatcher is possessed of "Sxty horsepower
tongue but one mule-power brain to back it up"
Of course we do not claim to know just what the
Attorney General means by such expression; but
to us it appears to be a queer combination for
one person to possess.
From what we have been able to learn, if
the lady thinks she can pull anything over
George" if she thinks she can roam over the
country campaigning in opposition and not get
what George" thinks is coming to her-and
then some we are prepared to tell her that she
is mistaken; for George until recently educated
and fed on Republican principles, is no respecter
of politicians. Armed with his early training,
he is ready to give tit for tat anytime Particu-
arly at this time when the lady has had her lean
to knocked to pieces-our fx-Canadan Governor,
she hasn't q leg to stand on, if we may say SO
without offense. However, the chances are that
from now on we shall hear very little from the
lady with such power of expression without the
proper controlling gear.

Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr, will be here
