Do you realize that winter is two
thirds gone and spring will be here in
little more than a month? Are
you preparing to get your crop
early, if you are farmer, or to plant
that war garden" if you live in a
town or city? Do you know that
war gardens" raised by the people
of the United States last year, added
tens of millions of dollars to the food
products of the country? Do you
realize that we will need more food
in 1919 than in 1918 and that in
creased farm crop production and IN
creased garden and fruit production
are needed as never before? If you
realize these things, get busy and act
on them "The early bird catches the
worm and the farmer or gardener
who gets his crop or garden planted
just as soon as the ground and the
weather are fit, gets the best yield
nine times out of ten. The value of
war gardens" raised on the parking
strips and in-the front and back yards
of Moscow last year added vast sums
to the value of the food supply pro-
duced here and gave the growers
pleasure and health. Let US have
more "war gardens" this year.

There are comparatively few breed
ers of pure bred stock in the Palouse
country. Farmers have been too busy
raising wheat in past years to pay a
great deal of attention to this in
dustry. In the older settled states
nearly every farm has some pure
bred stock or poultry. These herds
and flocks have been sources of profit
and pleasure to their owners. This
country is not an ideal stock country
on account of the lack of summer
pasture, but it is a recognized fact
that a few head can be produced at |
a profit on the average farm. In
view of the fact that the continued |
fertility of the soil depends upon the
growing of livestock, it should be
the ambition of every farmer to pro-
duce the best possible stock that adj

Senator La Toilette, who condoned
the sinking of the Lusitania and con-
demned our chief ally, Great Britain,
and said that the United States en-
tered the war wholly from mercenary
motives, has been "white-washed" be-
cause his vote is needed by his party
in the senate. Victor Berger, the
who said nothing worse than
La Toilette said, has been convicted
If crimes against the government for
the same things La Toilette
preached. Is there any wonder that
many people believe that politics is

Moscow should spare no efforts to
secure the great state highway
through the city. 1t will be great
enefit to Moscow and it will certainly
elp the highway to run through the
metropolis of the panhandle" which

ational institution of the Inland En-
ire. The benefits to Moscow and the
ighway will be mutual if it runs
trough town.
