immense amount OF wealth to the

operation next year. In addition to
that, others will be ready for pro-

bountifully stored up In Josephine

and the more OF the right kind Of
encouragement II receives, the soon
er will development come.
But in the meantime those per-
sons who have the habit OF blaming
everything onto the war. those who
thoughtlessly assert that there is a
scarcity OF money and others who.
by their talking tend to drive away
prosperity. should cure themselves
OF the evil at once. Don't even tell
II to your nelghbor. Talk optimism
and he will soon catch II too. For
tunately, this does not exist In the
majority Of people here. but the min
ority should be effectively squelched.
Think, talk and preach good times

lot quicker in coming.

Shame on those who are wilfully
misrepresenting the true status OF

OF Grants Pass and some In other

that Grants Pass and. Josephine

housed in suitable building where
1t may do the greatest amount OF
good.
There is an attempt to throw sand
in the eyes OF the farmers by rails

"maintainence" means. Mr.. Carne-

the city or county will agree to APP

people here are the soul Of cordiality

tone of the city is above reproach

SOME OBSERVATIONS ON GRANTS
PASS

Since the present editor Of the
Courier is about to leave the city he
feels that he may say few things
for the general welfare and not feel
the rebuke Of those who may take
exception to them. But regardless
Of consequences, they would have
been said sooner or later. for the
particular thing in mind have made
such an impression that they should
have attention.
There is a tendency that is almost
general to talk about the scarcity
OF money. Times are hard now"
and "You know, there isn't very
much money in Josephine county"
are samples OF remarks that are
made almost daily, not only by work
ing people but by merchants and
others. The echo OF the refrain at
times almost produces cresendo.
Forget It!
1t is true that war conditions have
interfered with the prosperity Of
some cities. while II has helped
others. It is a fact that in many
places there is not the volume OF
business nor the circulation OF
money that there was a few years
ago when there were booms in the
state and thousands OF people were
flocking here from the east looking
for new and more congenial places
to make their homes. II Is admitted,
for the sake OF eliminating argu-
ment, that times are not as good as
they used to be-"
But good guns! let's not talk
about 1t. The same conditions exist
In nearly every inland town in the
state and in nearly every state OF the
country. We are as well off here as
the people are in any other town.
Better, in fact, than a great many,
for there Is not only considerable ac-
tivity here now, but the prospects
are excellent for greater things in
the immediate future. And the ul-
innate future OF Josephine county
cannot be questioned.
It appears that this unpleasant
habit is not at all new. Several
years ago man whom we know
came here to buy business. He
got of of the train, asked stranger
at the depot something about the
town, and received very Indifferent
reply. He came on up the street and
stopped again and received similar
impression. A few more encounters
and he was thoroughly depressed
Good night" he said as he hurried
to the next train, "If ! stay here ri

REGGIE RAWLINGS
is NOW A SERGEANT

our old friend George Reginald
Raw lings, the best outfelder who
ever played in the Blue Ridge Leag-
lie and one of the best hitters, has
been promoted to the rank Of serge
ant somewhere in France" it is
our hope that Reggie will win other
promotions soon, and come back to
Us with shoulder-straps, eagles, oak
leaves and other insignia Of rank
decorating his person. As We have
stated before, Rawlings volunteered
COR service over there, and has
been in France several months. But
hat doesn't mean he has forgotten
tho old town and the Blue Ridge
League, for he writes to L. Fl.
Thompson here that he hasNread that
we are to have base bali again this
summer, and asks that papers be
sent him, so he can keep track of
Martinsburg's race for the pennant.
He says he would like to be here to
help out, and sends his regards to
all his old friends. Just how Reggie
has more important business on
hand than playing bali, but we hope
to have him with us again as soon
Jas his present job is satisfactorily
accomplished.

National War Garden
Commission
Free Garden Lessons
NO. 1o.-Rows AND BEDS

A straight row will add to the gar
den's beauty and the gardeners
pride and makes gardening easier,
says tcday's bulletin, issued by the
National War Garden Commission,
which is cooperating with this pa.
per in urging the planting of food
gardens. A piece Of stuot cord, says
the bulletin and two stakes are all
equipment needed.
In city and town gardens, where
the space is restricted, it is best to
have the rows run the long way OF
the garden north to south if pos
sible-and planting several kinds of
similarly grown vegetables, ike
green onions, CARROTS, radishes, etc,
in the same row.
II you plant such crops as beets,
radishes and onions in beds these
can be made four to six inches high
by digging narrow paths around the
beds with hoe and throwing the
soil upon the beds.
When the drainage of your gar
den is not good it is well to grow
cabbage, caulifiower and similar
crops on small ridges thrown up
with spade or hoe Other crops,
among them early. peas and celery,
should be planted in shallow tren-
ches scooped out with a hoe. When
these plants grow the soil is grad
ually worked back around the roots
Since hoeing must start early and
sometimes when the soiIS becomes
caked above the planted seeds, it is
necessary to break it, few swift.
growing radish seeds planted with
other sorts will quickly spring up
and show where the rows are.
Be sure and organize war garden
committee. Get the school children
to working. Get the mayor to APP
point a commisisn to organize and
give the youngsters membership.
The Boy Scouts will help you. Write
to the Commission for garden
primer. A 2-cent stamp will get it
for the readers of this paper
