VEGETABLE GARDEN

During the coming summer every
family in North Dakota whether in
town or on farm should have veg
etable garden not only as personal
economic measure, but as patriotic
measure. The following are some i'm
portant facts concerning the home
garden that deserve the consideration
of every one:
/. The use of greater amount of
vegetables will add a variety to the
diet and improve the health of the
family.
| 2. The vegetables from the home
garden which should constitute 40 per
cent or more of the diet, will cut down
the grocery bill.
3. The amount of vegetables grown
in the home garden is clear gain to
the world food supply.
a. Use of more vegetables will au-
tomatically release more concentrated
foods for export.
S. More food can be grown per
acre of garden than per acre of most
field crops.
6. The land devoted to the garden
generally represents just that much
more land devoted to food production
and that much less idle land.
Z. The labor involved in growing
the garden in the spare time moments
of the family which would not be util-
lied otherwise in food production and
therefore to some extent it counter
balances the shortage of labor engage
ed in food production on the farm.
g. Vegetables in sufficient guam
tity can seldom be bought economical
ly in North Dakota, therefore they
need to be grown.
8. Use of home grown vegetables
reduces the amount of food that needs
to be imported, consequently helping
to reduce the transportation difficulty.
10. Vegetables of the very best
quality can be produced in. the home
garden.
| IL. The vegetable garden enables
everyone to be producer, not only a
consumer, of food.
II. A large amount of food can
be supplied with small outlay of
cash for seed, etc. and careful invest
ment ofesurplus time.
Food is the one thing that is essen
tial to war and peace, for which there
is no substitute. A food supply suf-
ficient to feed the soldiers and civil
population Of our allies and our own
country is as essential as ammuni-
ton of the armed forces.
Munition of warfare can be manu-
featured by comparatively few peo-
pie.
Money for prosecuting the war or
relieving suffering caused by it can be
subscribed by most of us.
| Food which is as essential as either
of the two factors, can be produced
by any one in North Dakota.
Vegetables from the home garden
/ constitute the main sources of food
for the European people at present
The ability of Germany to feed herself
is largely due to the immense potato
crop and the large amount of vege.
tables produced within her borders.
1t is the duty OF every North Dakota
citizen to create and care for a gooc
vegetable garden this year, and every
year that this war continues so thai
more of our cereal crops and meat car
be used by our army and shipped t.
our allies. H o. Werner, N. Oak.

TWO LETTERS SENT
TO TWO MOTHERS

That Emperor William is in more
than a few respects unlike Abraham
Lincoln does not need much proving to
many people at this late day. There
was, therefore. nothing of the surpris-
ing in the dissimilarity by the German
monarch to woman whose nine sons
have been killed in this war while
fighting for him and the one which
the American President wrote to a
the war to save the Union. But these
documents, while not particularly in
formative were beautifully illustrative
of essential differences between the
two men, between their mental atti-
tudes, and between the relation in
which each saw himself with respect
to the sacrifices imposed by war on
the inhabitants of their respective
countries.
The Kaiser expressed his recogni-
tion of the mothers loss, and thought
to assuage her grief by sending her
his photograph, with frame and au-
tographed signature. A noble and a
precious gift! But, before viewing it
with laughter or scorn, it is we'll to
remember that the recipient may have
viewed it exactly as did the giver. If
she believes, as she presumably does,
in the divine right of Kings, it may be
that she was appreciably comforted
in her bereavement, and at any rate
it can safely be assumed that the
kaiser honestly thought she would be-
Lincoln, naturally, did not send his
photograph to the mother who had
lost five sons, and he admitted that no
words of his could mitigate her sor-
row. All he felt that he could do
was to thank her in behalf of the Re-
public her sons had died to save, and
to remind her of the pride she had a
right to feel who had laid so costly
a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom"
So speaks the representative of au-
tocracy, and so the exponent of democ-
racy! Each of the letters is charac-
teristic product of the country in
which it originated, as of the man who
wrote it. Today the two exemplify
the causes for which so many men are
dying on both sides of the line be-
tween the Central Powers and their
confederated opponents.-New York

TRO' RIHEATLESS PLEDGE ENDS

The cable Of Herbert Hoover from
London releasing hotel and restaurant
proprietors from the wheatless pledges
does not mean that the sky is now
the limit" The rules and regulations
laid down when the Allies called for
more wheat as an alternative to de-
feat still hold good and will be rigidly
enforced BY the Maryland Food Ad-
ministration, while a grave crisis has
been tided over II is absolutely neces-
sary that an ample reserve be built up
both here and abroad, so that Uncle
Sam and his Allies can face any future
food emergency with comfort. II must
never be nip and tuck again; the pen
atty for defeat is too high TO permit
the taking of any chances.
Under the still existing rules all pub
lie eating places must continue 10
serve only Victory Bread. into which
composition enters al least % per
cent Of substitutes for wheat -four.
And only two ounces of such bread
may be served TO customer at one
meal THE baking regulations
haven't been changed, and they will
continue to be enforced as they stand"
Is Mr.. W. H. Maltbie's announcement.
The cable from London merely alb
solved from their pledge to use no
wheat those hotelmen and others who
promised total abstinence until har-
vest time, after a conference early in
June with Herbert Hoover. This was
q free-will offering and the Maryland
