CIVIC IMPROVEMENT NOTES

The all important topic just now
Is the War Garden. Efficiency will
win the war. The employment of
every material resource is what the
situation demands to bring us to
victory.
Save food to relieve the railroads.
The saving of pound of food. and
thereby the sparing of a pound of
freight, is as adequate an act of
patriotism as going into the trenches
to exchange ri1e-shots with the foe.
If all the children of garden age
work industriously under good direc-
ton, they can produce food enough
for hundreds of thousands of SOL
diers. In doing thi sthey will make
productive all or most of the idle
land in and about the cities, towns
and villages. The backyard, the
vacant lot, the street not yet cut
through. the odds and ends and stubs
of idle real estate from the unused
alley to the field where the circus
shows.
The idea is to have each child pro-
duce vegetables. small fruit. or
poultry and eggs for his immediate
family. but whether the products are
so consumed or are marketed. makes
no real difference to the success of
he scheme.
This War Garden Army will save
transportation. The sum total of
relief to the railroads will be large
and they will thus be able to devote
their energies to the transportation
of coal, steel. munitions. food for
export. and other material vital to the
interests of the army.
:. 1t is obvious that unless the sacred
impulse of patriotism, which is the
h4gle call that summons the boy or
girl soldier from games to garden il
to be dissipated or wasted, the move
nient must be as efficient as it is wide
spread.
The lessons of self-reliance, SER
vice to country. industry. and con-
scientious persistence are as impor-
tant to the child as any other course
in the regular curriculum.
The transformation of the untidy
waste places. the jungles of rubbish.
and the thicket of weeds into thin.
slightly gardens. is of esthetic value
to the community The dominating
purposes. however, are production
and education.
We appeal to every loyal and pa
triotlc citizen to be with us in this
work. and remove every obstacle. no
matter what it may be. Requests
have come to the committee to help
protect the gardens and lawns. and
through the Mayor ani City Council.
we holpe to accomplish this. Pick
up and burn all waste paper flying
about. The careless and unpardon-
able habit of trespassing on beautiful
lawns has been quite prevalent. And
how about the corner flower gardens.
could anyone be so rude? Placards

WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES
FOR PHYSICAL INJURIES

damages amounting to $4,000, plus
a hospital tim of {l0.j0.
The charge made is negligence on

THINKS PICTURE SHOWS
SHOULD PRODUCE COMEDY

ut il difficult To say what pic
tures will be ready for use fol-
lowing the opening of the theatcrs,'
said Ralph Talbot, local picture
magnata. 81 think the theaters
should all have "A good comedy;
something that will help take away
the wrinkles and mako life worth
while following the depressing pc
riod of influcpZa.'
The theaters are anxious to get
back into the harness. but are more
than willing to wait the decision of
the health officers before trying Il
again. aside from the financial
loss, the managers and the employees
are nearly frantic with an enforced
vacation.
The film manufacturers have
stopped all production and movie
stars are having the time Of their
lives, the theatrical papers say.
