the standpoint of a working

and animals?
1t seems this new park board
has nothing in its mind but max
ing money. Since 1t has been in,
everything that a poor family can
enjoy has been taken away from
our Point Defiance. First, the
prices at the pavilion were raised,
and where not raised an inferior
grade was used; then out went
our beautiful plants away to
Wright park. where only the peo-
pie in fine cars ana big houses
could enjoy them.
Why these? We who live a
long way and must take our
lunches can't go to Wright park |;
our dirty little kids might rulI
against someone else or soil the
grass.
Now they want to take the
greatest pleasure our little ones
have animals-away. Well

War Gardens
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
1t is time to get busy on war
gardens.
The high price of foodstuffs
and the necessity for conserva-
ton means everyone must help
produce.
Last years efforts saved thous-
ands of dollars to Tacomans and
materially aided the food conser-
walton program. This year we
should do twice as much.
Every vacant lot in the city
should be made productive.
1t is going to be a disgrace this
year to have a vacant lot grow
ing up in weeds or brush. IL you
have vacant land and you cannot
farm it, hunt up someone who
will. If you have no ground and
have some time, hunt up some
ground and get permission to
plant it.
If you can produce more pota-
toes and garden truck than you
will need then plant some oats,
wheat, corn or other foods for
chickens, rabbits, q co wor pig.
High wages in cities have drawn
labor from the farms and may les
sen production there so the labor
power in cities will have to get
busy to supplement the efforts of
the farmers left.
1t is time to begin digging now.
Especially all land where there is
brush, briers and salal bushes,
should be dug up at once to allow
the elements to work out the
alchemy OF nature and make the
ground productive.
The benefits of complete cult
walton in Tacoma will be many.
1t will save money; it will con-
serve foods needed to win the
war; it will destroy weeds and
beautify the city; 1t will make US
all healthier and happier. Besides
true loyalty demands it. You may
not be able to buy Liberty bonds
or donate to the Red Gross; you
may not be able to contribute to
the various funds and philanthro-
pies now loudly calling, but every
able-bodied man and woman in
Tacoma can dig.
And the diggers in America are
going to win this war.

Mayor.
