GET A GARDEN.

1t is very evident that there win be
a greater need for back yard and va
cant lot gardens in Chicago this year
than there was at any time during the
war period.
This assertion is based on the ex-
treme probability that the farmers of
the middle west, and throughout the
country for that matter, have prac-
tieaIly decided to eurtail production.
A careful reading of the agricultural
journals diseloses the fact that for
months past the farmers through their
organized bodies have been considering
some such action. During the war the
farmers, as a class, responded to the
per crops by increasing their acreage
and this they did.
Then came the era Of profteering in
fOOdstufs Of every kind. The farmers
have noticed the tremendous difference
in the prices they received as compared
with those paid by the final consumer
for an classes Of farm produce. So
they have asked why, in the face of
scarcity of labor, the long hours which
they must work, they should attempt
to raise more grain and foodstufs Of
every kind only to nh the pockets of
the prOfteers
For several years now the people Of
Chicago have been pretty active in the
city gardening movement. A tremen-
dOus impetus was given this movement
by Mayor Thompson in 1918. Last year
there were thousands Of gardens within
the city limits which raised a vast
amount Of foods, which otherwise
would not have been available at all.
This year, as has been pointed out, the
need for gardens was never more
urgent than now to help the people 10
meet the high cost of living.
Those who have had gardens know
how much they help out in meeting the
expenses Of providing food for the fam
ily table They know, too, something
of their value from a health stand
point. They know that gardens are
fine for the children who are old enough
to help work them and that they pay
big returns for the time, money and
labor expended.
So get a garden Do it now.
The sanitary disposition of wastes
and refuse, including human excreta,
despite the not infrequently heavy
cost, IN addition TO its health value, is
also Of decided economic benefit In
other words, it means saving Of dol
lars as wen as a saving of human lives.
II the vacant lot near you was not
made into a garden last year, better
see the owner and get his permission TO
tiIl it this year. It win mean food for
your table, health for yoar body and
also peace and happiness for your
mind.
II yOu have mislaid the hoe and
spade, hunt lem up; clean up time win
soon be here.

THE BLEWETT MINE.

World; People of this section
should be especially interested in the
new developments at Blewett. The
Blewett mines are among the oldest
in the state of Washington. Gold in
this section was first discovered at
Peshastin in 1865. Shortly thereaf-
ter the placer mines on the Swauk
we're discovered and were worked out
by the Cinnamon in the seventies.
The mines at old Blewett have been
worked off ard on for over forty
years. In the past the Blewett mine
a been worked under the method
known to miners as "high grade
gouging." But plans are made this
time for the working of the whole
thing. This big mountain of ore has
an average milling value of $40 to SIG
per ton. according to Superintendent
2iebe. who has just overseen the in
Stallation Of $4,000 worth of i'm
provements. It can be milled for
81 25 per ton including the mining. he
believes. The ore will be run through
the mill and reduced to high grade
concentrates worth $500 per ton. II
will then be shipped to the Tacoma
smelter. Considering the fact that
the famous Treadwell mine runs only
$500 ton, and the Alaska Gastineau
Only $1.98 ton and yet are success
fully worked. there is strong hope
that the Blewett will develop into
something of great Importance as
wealth producer
