GH|LDREN'S GARDENS
PRODUCE MUCH FOOD
GOVERNMENT PLANNING TO
HAVE 100000 CHILDREN
GARDENERS THIS YEAR

Five million children's gardens pro-
ducing at least a million dollars
worth of food this year, is the plan
of the federal governments depart
ment of the interior, being worked
out by the bureau of education, with
which Professor j. C. Muerman, sup
erintendent of Moscow city schools
for 10 years, is affiliated. Professor
Muerman is rated as special assist
ant director of United States school
gardens, in charge of films and slides.
He visits all sections of the United
States with motion picture and slide
picture shows, giving the people an
insight into what has been done by
children in the way of producing food
and what the government expects
them to do in this and future years.
Last year approximately 100000
school children raised gardens in the
United States and produced food val
ued at $1,OOO,OOO,0OO. This was
war measure. 1t proved so success
full that the department of the inter
ior, acting with the department of
education, is endeavoring to make it
a permanent feature of the education
al work of the United States. The
gardening is to be made a part of the
school work, and to be conducted I'M
der the direct supervision of the
teachers Last year 10000 teachers
instructed the 100000 children in
gardening. This year the number is
to be trebled or quadrupled.
Instead of teaching children the
rudiments of agriculture by books,
they are to be taught the real art of
agriculture by actual work in produc-
ing gardens and planting, cultivating
and harvesting vegetables and other
products of the soil. This is to be
real, live mature study" with prac-
tical work along useful lines. The
children will be given the same cred
its for gardening as for nature study
and there will be no mature taking"
in the work, but it will be the real
thing.
"The children are taking to the
work eagerly, everywhere" said Pro-
fessor Muerman. "They delight in it
and it is the most healthful work
they can do Many, many instances
have been brought to our attention
where boys who are under clouds and |
on the highway to ruin, have become
in gardening and have
made good" Professor Muerman

Professor Muerman will remain
here until Monday when he goes to
continue his work He is spending a
few days in Moscow, where he spent
10 years in school work and where he
has hundreds of warm friends. He
said that it is difficult to realize the

years ago. II want you to state
that | am pleased to see Moscow out

man, who remembers that there were
generally several months in the year
when teams could not travel on Main
street. Professor Muerman praised
Moscow high school building, the
school and Superintendent Rich. He
said:
"You have fine high school build
ing, but what is better still, you have
a fine high school. That man Rich
is man of ability. He is doing a
wonderful work. If the people of
Moscow are wise they will retain him
as the head of the schools. Moscow is
lucky to be able to keep such a man
at the head of her splendid school
system"

PIECE WORK PAYS
MEN BETTER WAGES
MOSCOW FIRE BRICK COMPANY
GETS WORK DONE CHEAPER
BY PAYING MORE

An experiment which will be of in
terest to employers of labor has beer
successfully tried by the Moscow Fire
Brick company, which owns and op-
crates large plant in Moscow. The
company, which employs large force
of men in it's plant here and it's clay
beds at Joel, few miles east of
town on the Northern Pacific rail
road. The men have been paid by
the day until it was decided to try
payment by piece work, which has
worked out SO satisfactorily that all
work is now being done by contract
or by piece work.
One of the chief products of the
yard is BATTLE" tile, for which there
is large demand and of which the
firm axes a great number. The men
working on these were paid 1925 per
day and averaged about 80 tile per
man per day. This made the labor
alone, cost more than four cents for
each tile. The company decided to
pay by the piece and offered its men
three cents a piece for making the
tile. This was several weeks ago and
the men are now making an average
of 200 tile per day, for which they
receive $6 per day, while one of the
workmen has been averaging So per
day under the new system of pay
ment. The men are making almost
double their former wages and the
cost of the tile to the company has

the poor of the world, of the "Terrible
Meek
"The presentation of religion in
dramatic form is part of general
movement that is starting both in
the United States and England" said
Mr. Bridge last night.
"Churchmen are realizing that the
truths Of religion are presented in
dramatic form and that they attain
a new and greater significance when
seen on the stage.
Religious drama need not neces-
sarily deal with religious subjects, as
our drama dir tonight. Religious
drama means aAy play that shows the
of true and good charac-
ters, or the struggle of real charact-
ers to find themselves.
Terrible Meek was written by
Charles Ram Kennedy author of
sThe Servant in the House" which

and London few years ago.
Those interested in the drama hope

LAST SERVICE OF
PASSION WEEK HELD
SPLENDID MEETING HELD LAST
N&HT-REY. II. 0. PERRY
PREA CHING

The devotions, as usual, were very
fitting for the occasion and conducive
of reverential feeling. Rev. Perry
was certainly at his best and vigor-
ously delivered the divine message.
The Scripture, Mark 15:22-30 treated
On the crucifixion of Jesus.
So full was the life of the Savior
during this week that we get only a
perspective. In this Friday lay the
supreme theme-salvatio through
Jesus Christ. In the preceding dis
course we left Jesus praying in Geth-
senane. Now he had finished, and
as he aroused his disciples and glanc-
ing out through the trees he saw the
mob coming with swords and spears
and slaves. They were led thither by
Judas. Jesus at once stepping for
ward, met them and asked, Whom
seek YEP" and they answered, "Jesus
of Nazareth" He said, 81 am he."
The very majesty of his person fore
ed them to fall backward But Jesus
insisted that if they desired him they
should take him and let the others go
free. They about him said, "ShaIl we
smite with the ~sword?" And one of
them smote the servant of the high
priest and struck off his right ear.
Jesus said, "Suffer them thus far;

him. $50 the band and chief captain,

TERRIBLE MEEK
PLEASED AUDIENCE
GUILD HALL CROWDED WITH
APPRECIATIVE PEOPLE TO
WITNESS HOME PLAY

An audience that crowded the Guild
hall witnessed the dramatic presenta-
ton of Charles Ram Kennedy's "Ter-
rible Meek" a religious play, present
ed by the parishioners of st. Marks
Episcopal church Friday night. Pro-
fessor H. T. Lewis, Mrs. H. H. Con
well and Mr.. w. H. Bridge took the
leading parts.
Terrible Meek" is drama deal
ing with Mr.. Kennedy's reconstruc-
tion of the events that took place on
the night that Christ was crucified.
The captain Of the guard, as played
by Professor Lewis, was conceived as
an English officer of fair education
and some imagination. The character
and actions of the Christ, and the
simplicity of Mary, who was heard
rather than seen on the darkened
stage, caused change in the officers
heart. His final refusal to obey the
orders of his superior, is the dramatic
climax of the play.
The heart interest of the drama
centers in the character OF Mary VINO
was played by Mrs. Conwell In this
character of the simple peasant wo-
man, who loves and understands the
Christ's greatness by instinct rather
than knowledge, Kennedy has done
a fine bit of Characterization, and
Mrs. Conwell has realized the dra-
matte possibilities Of the role.
In addition to a rich dramatic I'M
agination, Mrs. Conwell has music
al. well-cadenced voice which she was
able to use with great effect.
The heavy tragic atmosphere, OF the
plav was iightened slightly by the
character of the cockney sentry, play
ed by Mr.. W. H. Bridge. The part
was Slight and gave Mr.. Bridge little
opportunity to demonstrate his tai
ents. ,
