TWENTY YEARS AGO
Build to Rsnt.

= q = q. IT..
Editorial from August 2, 1900, Of The Pioneer.)
The demand for houses in Bemidji and the total
absence of anything like an adequate supply is
something that is known to every person who wants
to secure home. It has in fact, reached the stage
where it may properly be termed house famine,
for the situation has positively become serious:
The most remarkable thing, too, is that with all
the vacant property in the city in desirable loca-
tions, yielding no revenue to the owners there is
probably not single house being built in the city
today to be rented. There number being built
by people who expect to occupy them themselves,
but that is all p <%,. ~ &#
N The belief that it costs too much to build is
probably responsible flor the fact that SO little is
doing il the building line today. It is true that
last spring the price Of building was high Iron and
it's products were at the highest price for years.
Labor was demanding better remuneration and ev-
erything gaveto the property owner the belief that
if he were to build he would have to pay great
deal more than he would care to. That impression
still fingers with him. He has not yet learned that
there has been change. Today it costs consld-
erably less than it did three or four months ago.
The reason for this is general reduction in the

SEVERE EARTHQUAKE SHAKES JUNEAUITES
 EARLY IN MORNING

An intense earthquake occurred at 6:5S a. M., this morning. The total duration, according to the consensus of opinion was six seconds. It was of marked intensity for the first four seconds and then retarded in the next two. Attendant rumbling was heard by several, who thought at first it was the noise of the usual "Taku.". It's direction of vibration was from North to South.
 Unfortunately, the local weather bu- reau is not equipped with any in struments to record seismic distur. bances, so was unable to state as to the extent of the area in which the shock was noticed. According to the several reports from the residents of Juneau, this is the most severe quake that has been experienced here.

Special to The Herald.

special 10 Inc Herald.
WASHINGTON, March 4..One way
Of reducing the cost Of living is open
to every man woman and child who
can get the use of an idle plot Of
ground. That way lies through the
planting and cultivation of home
garden-a thrift garden. War gar
dens played their part in the great mo-
bilization of resources in war time
thrift gardens now have their own big
job in helping households to feed
themselves.
The. reasons. for. thrift gardens are
many and Various. The same seasons
that existed last year and the year be-
fore still are present Thrift gar
dens will produce food where nothing
otherwise would be produced, they
will reduce family food bills, they will
return abundantly in proportion to the
time and effort devoted to them But
added to these reasons is another one
peculiar to this year.
Reports to the United States depart
ment of agriculture indicate that the
paintings by commercial vegetable
gardeners will be materially reduced
this year, because the commercial
gardeners see no way of obtaining
enough labor to conduct their usual
operations. The commercial gardeners
claim that they have paid high wages
in endeavors to keep up production,
but now have reached the point where
the returns will not justify the contin-
uance of this expense. At least that
is the report reaching the department
of agriculture from seed merchants,
whose operations at this season are
regarded as good indication of what
conditions will be month or two
from now.
If the reduction of commercial gar
dening becomes fact, the obvious re-
suit will be fewer vegetables and high
er prices. The logical remedy lies
partly in home gardens. This is a
remedy, moreover, that will work no
harm even if the commercial acreage
should be up to normal as any sur
plus of fresh vegetables may be saved
by canning, drying and other means
of conservation and the surplus kept

so that it will be useful next fall and
winter.
Thousands Of families learned the
value of home gardens in war time.
United States department Of agricul-
ture specialists believe it essential
that these families interest be main
tanned and that other thousands be
added to the homefood producers.
Now is the time to begin making
plans for your 1920 thrift garden"
these specialists declare. First To-
cate a piece of suitable land; second,
make your plan; third, get your seed;
fourth, start work at the earliest pos
sible moment
A requst to the, United States de-
partment of agriculture, Washington,

tell you how to plan your garden, how
much seed to buy, how to get the land
in shape for cultivation, how to take
every other step in the process of
