t'(j..IGLE SAN" AND

Well Known Civic Leader Shows How
Vegetable Garden Will Cut The

said Mr.. Hastings, ESTIMATED the
value OF the vegetables produced last

the first word Uncle Sam passes out
to the sufferer is TO make good big
hone garden Why? Because the
right kind OF a homc garden is the
quickest, cheapest and best source OF
food supply there IS.
THE great trouble here in the South
is that our people dor't take the home
garden seriously enough, or give 1t
the attention that its importance as q
food producer and money-Saver ]usu-
Ges. 1t is mostly made with lick
and a promise and :he cultivation and
replanting it gets during the growing
season is mostly OF the unfulhliec
promise kind
with the present and certaiI-to-be-
continued high food prices on the one
hand, and the very great uncertainty
as TO the price that cotton or other
cash crops will sell for next fall, 1t is
a time above all others to play safe.
This is no time to gamble on cot
ton. None of US can tell within 10
cents a pound what it will sell for
next fall. The farmer who makes few
or no store debts for food, producing
his own and family needs on homo
acres, is safe regardless OF Gotten
prices. and he is the only one who
is safe.
"The right kind of home garden
maintained all through the season and
given a square deal in the way OF cul-
tivation. is the greatest store-Dill-cut-
ter on record. A quarter TO half an
acre garden for the average family
will cut the store bill in half"

COMMON PEOPLE TO THE RESCUE

The news that the Chicago Labor party has
chosen a labor union man to run for mayor is
encouraging. More and more the common peo-
pie are coming to rely on their own efforts. Vol
unteer leaders, usually springing, up from the
ranks of the. lawyers, are no longer welcomed
with servile plaudits and unthinking enthusi-
asm. The common people of America have
learned through bitter experience that no one
will help them except themselves.
America needs new blood in it's councils-the
stuff that "Old Hickory was made Of. There
are too few farmers in congress, too few work
ingmen in. the city assemblies of our land.
There is no magic about the process of gov
eminent, nothing requiring a lawyers training
of a college education. Common honesty is the
missing ingrediant in the modern political life
of America. To that qualification the ordinary,
plodding, lawabiding citizen can add the valu-
able attribute of progressiveness.
Look over the political leaders in America to-
day. Are they leading the people forward to a
nearer the truth to say that our leaders are en-
gagged in holding the people back. TIL quality
of blood at the top in our American politics is
getting pretty thin. That's why it's such a
healthy symptom that the farmers and ordin-
airy wage workers of the cities, together with
the more intelligent class of the professional
and business men, are going into politics under
their own leadership. g.
America needs the common man; needs his
understanding of the difficulties and problems
that beset the majority of our people; needs
his sterling honesty and conscientious idea of
service to the whole world and special favors to
none.-Grand Forks American.

A REASON AGAINST WAR

Medical authorities now assure us that the
deaths from influenza and pneumonia number
more than 5000, 600. Several times that many
have probably suffered from these two diseases.
They have lost time and money. A very large
portion of them have impaired health. There
is a, rather noticeable lack of scientific explain
alton for the first and more widespread of the
two, perhaps because those who can talk author
itatively have not yet been heard. But of one
thing we are certain. It came out of the nav
of the war and is one of the bills charged by
war, in. addition to bonds, personal sacrifice,
and the losses on the field of battle. This add
ition to the regular bill which Mars presents
directly, is certainly a clinching reason for rid
ding the world of war.
War always produces conditions out of which
diseases come. In the recent war, for instance,
people were herded together in foul, unnatural
conditions, not only in cities back of the deva-
stated areas of Europe but in all the cities OF the
world, because of lack on new building or re-
pairing and increased poverty. The same people
suffered greatly from lack of food and from ad-
alterations of such food as they did, have. Dis
to get started and once well started nothing
could stop it. Camp life also provides a good soil
for disease because of the unnatural crowding
OF many persons in small places.
There is no immunity from the penalties for
violating the avs of God and nature. War and
war conditions are violations of these laws, and
if we don't want to pay these terrible penalties,
we must abolish War.If the present statesmen of
the world are too imperialistic to remove the
causes of war, let us fight for statesmen who
can and will do the necessary things. No one of
us should let up the fight against war, if we
would avoid the disastrous penalties.

PROTECTING INVESTORS

A great to-do is being made in the press
agaist gold-brick promoters who are separating
the farmers and others from their Liberty
bonds and cash for bonds and stocks of doubt
full value. The warning are good so far as they
go, but they leave out some very significant
facts: One of these is that the financial inter-
ests have agents who ARE quietly buying up
Liberty bonds at the low market quotations, so
quietly as to prevent a rise in price. This little
fact may go a long way toward explaining why
there is so much concern for the small investor
just now. The exchanGe of Liberty bonds in any
considerable amount for other paper would tend
to increase their market price.
Another important fact is that the small in
vestor has just as much to fear from respects
able Wall street ventures in the realm of stocks
and bonds as from the wild cats, because they
are so respectable" and plausibly safe. The re-
vestors biting we'll throughout the country I'M
til vast issues of bonds and stocks are in their
hands at high prices. Then the market suddenly
breaks. The little fellow can not hold on. The
big fellows buy back what they have sold at
half price or less. Then begins the game of ire
storing confidence" which in everyday lang
uage means getting the suckers biting again.
The market is now in the sucker-biting stage.
Our advice would be to leave both Wall street
and the wild cats alone. If the plain citizen can
not find room to invest his surplus on his own
farm or business, let him look to government
bonds or federal farm loan bonds and to invest
ments in his own community, which he can
watch, or to cooperate undertakings where he
has something to say in the management. The
possible returns from these may be small COM
pared with the promises of what stock promo
tiers outside may offer, but this must be con-
sldered together with the relative safety of the
principal. In the outside affairs the safety of
the principal as we'll as the return depends on
men or interests to whom real integrity towards
the general public is a financial blunder. The
press has told us about the wild cats. A number
of people about town can verify from their own
bitter experience what we say about Wall street.

and its earnings on the capital
zition have been big. It has been
paying about $4,OO0,000 a year,
and it is now cut by Burleson to
about 600 a year. Mackay
claims that his company's in
come is being confiscated by
Burleson and turned over to the
holders of the watered stock Of
Theodore Wallis and Carleton's
companies-the Western Union
and it's subsidiaries.
Burleson denies that he has
been unfair to the Postal Tele-
graph concern, but it is told that
Doctor Friday, his statistician,
reported unfavorably on the
plan which was adopted. In any
event the public will pay less
tribute to the Vail and Carleton
families, for the upkeep of foot
men and French maids this win
ter.
John L. Kingsbury, vice pres
ident of the Western Union, is
close to the Burleson bosom also.
He was even permitted to sit in
the conference at which the
Postal Telegraph rate of COM
pensation was fixed, although
none of the Postal crowd was
permitted to witness tibet bar
gain for payment to the Western
Union. Next day the First As
sistant Postmaster General
Koonswas entertained by Kings
bury at a country club, and later
Rooms was escorted around the
country in the private railroad
car of the Western Union conn
pany officials.
A labor paper on the Pacific
coast recently printed an editor
ial calling attention to the Bur-
Lesson friendship for the wire
trust heads, and asked where
is David J. Lewis ?" Dave Lewis
was supposed to be in charge of
the wires when they came under
the control of the government.
He was appointed to operate
them. Since that time he has
been lost to sight and sound.
Burleson issues all the state
ments, lays down all the rules,
formulates all the policies, and
apparently keeps Lewis waiting
in the outer office while he
holds. high council with Vail or
Carleton or their attorneys. IL
the fine hand of Dave Lewis is
to be discovered anywhere, it
may be in the reductions in
Hong distance telephone rates
that have been announced.
Congress, during the past
week, debated the question Of
giving Burleson the money with
which to establish an airplane
mail service between the princi-
pal cities. It voted him 200 ma
chimes, but it decided that his
scheme for civilian operation Of
the service would not due; the
report of the army air service
officer who recently resigned
as director of airplane mail ser
vice was convincing that Burle-
son had put a lot Of incompe-
tent men in charge, and that he
would probably waste the money.
So the house voted to compel
Burleson to employ army avia-
tors to operate the machines for
the coming year.
