GARDEN WORK MEANS HEALTH
Plot, Have Been Proved to

Community gardens have been en-
couraged in the city of Philadelphia
for the last tw~enty-three years, pri-
marily as a means Of helping people
to help themselves.
The same class of work has been
carried on in other cities for shorter
periods of time, with an equal degree.
of success and satisfaction, according
to the United States Department Of
Agriculture.

was to help the people to provide fo99d'

NV bushels Of tubers were moved off
from the farms on their way to the
table. This is Sc, $4,000 bushels more
than left the farms in the correspond
ing period a year ago, or a half busheI
additional for every man, woman and
child in the United States.
The potato crop Of 1920 was the
largest in the history of the country,
amounting to 43O,45s,OOO bushels, and
of these only 145,286,OOO bushels were
estimated as remaining in the hands Of
growers and dealers January l.. In
1919 the crop was 255, 773,O 600 bushels,
and the amount in the hands of grow
ers and dealers January 1, 1920, was
estimated at 127, 100000 bushels.
When the potato crop has been
large, under normal conditions, the
stocks of January 1 usually have been
large, and in years Of usual production,
before 1918, the stocks of January /
commonly were about one-half of the
crop in the total Of the principal north
ern potato-producing states. In the
case of the 1920 crop, on the contrary,
the stocks on the farm January 1
amounted to only one-third Of the crop,
and were smaller than the average Of
the three preceding years, when the
production was much less.
Statisticians of the department be-
lleve the greater consumption of pota-
toes has been encouraged by the drop
in prices. For the entire country the
average price received by growers was
$500 q bushel August 1; $1.S5, Sep
TENDER 1; $1.35, October 1; $1.1S, No

WON FAME AS PROPHECIES
legends Concerning "Mother shipton"
Tell Us Little of Real Life Of
Remarkable Woman.

In the four centuries and more
since Mother, Shipton's birth, her pre-
dictions have from time to time been
recalled, especially as some new in
vention or historical development has
seemed to bear out her prophecies.
According to the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA, Mother Shipton was born near
Yorkshire a good many years before
Columbus discovered America, though
the exact date is in doubt, The leg
end concerning her states that she
was begotten, like the Wizard Merlin
Of King Arthur's Round Table, of a
union of a phantom of Apollo or
some other aerial demon in that 'guise,
and a beautiful young orphan girl Of
Yorkshire named Agatha Southill. The
baby was christened Ursula Southill
by the abbot of Beverly. From early
childhood the prophecies displayed
her weird powers, which developed in
scope as she grew older. She mar
r1ed a carpenter named Shipton, ac-
cording to the legend, and died at
the age Of seventy-three years. Con-
nary to the custom Of those times,
Mother Shipton, despite her suspect
ed connection with the devil and the
powers Of darkness, escaped hanging
as a witch, due largely to the fact
that she had never been known to
harm anyone. Her "eyil eye" was
never turned toward any person, but
exerted its baleful power in piercing
the veil Of the future.

ROUND WORLD SPORT CIRCLE
WITH JACK vEIOCK
INTERNATIONAL NEWS SPORTING EDITOR
(By International News service)

(By International News Service)
 NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Sir Thomas Lipton, one of the grandest and with out a doubt the gamest sportsman the world has ever known, is going to try once more to lift the historic Ameri- cas cup.
 Four times, over a period of twenty two years, has Sir Thomas attempted to win back the silver trophy, original ly hung up in England and won and held in America ever since the first race around the Isle of Wight, seven. ty years ago the 22d day of August. Four times this great yachtsman has met with disappointment, but he has not given up hope. He will make his fifth attempt in 1923.
 The next challenger will be Sham rock " Sir Tom will build her next year and sail her across the broad reaches of the Atlantic to try his luck once more over the famous Sandy Hook course. Announcement of Lip tons intention gave the American sporting public a thrill of deepest ad- miration for him. He has spent thous- ands upon thousands of dollars in his efforts to win mug" that originally cost but one hundred guiueas, and he will spend another small fortune in his Sifth try.
 When the Shamrock " and the Resolute got away for their 1920 ser ies sentiment was with the Lipton yacht because of the gameness and persistence of her sponsor. So it will be again in 1923 when Shamrock V spreads her wings in the breeze off the old Hook, No one can say this sentiment is a lack of loyalty. Such stick-to-it-iveness deserves victory.
 "Jack M'AuIiffe has abandoned
 the ponies for the stage" says a
 headline. Jack abandoned them
 because they aIienated his bank
 roll.

ANT IT THE TRUTH?

ANT TT THE TRUTH2 The big league stars pull many thrill
 ing plays. They crash into the spotlight every
 day,
 Yet, after all, their grandstand stuff
 is dull,
 Compared to plays that savor ot the
 skull
 A shoestring catch brings thousands
 to their feet,
 A walIop in pinch is hard to beat Yet such plays die with momentary
 cheers,
 While bonehead stunts live on for
 years and years.
 It may be cruel, but we are prompt ed to remark that Jack Johnson will probably feel natural in every state where he is barred.
 Georges Carpenter Is studying
 the pictures of his fight with
 Champ Jack Dempsey. No doubt
 he gets groegy every time he
 looks at the fourth round.
 A Dempsey-Willard shindig Is just in the offing at this writing. Tex RiCkard is feeling the big Kansan out and seeking to draw out the public as well. Tex is a shrew bird. He pays more attention to public opinion than he does to the fighters, and Willards chances of getting a match promoted by Tex will depend largely on what the boxing public and the press say of it.
 From this distance a Willard-Demp- sey match, providing Willard really can and honestly will get into condi- tion, looks like the only logical one in the near future and 1t will probably be made in due time. But we also be- lieve that Willard should prove his fitness in physical way by taking on at least one big husky before he meets Dempsey. A good many boxing fans have often speculated on what a Willard-Fulton match would be like, and it appears that such a match ought to be a good nriInnr for Willard {F bn CAN GET INTO SHAPE. Dempsey beat Fulton in ONE round If Willard cannot beat the big plasterer he has no right to a return match with Demp- sey. Tn the event of a Willard-Fulton match Dempsey should agree to take the winner.

THE TAX COLLECTOR
IS RIGHT

People living within the limits Of
the new paving district, where paw
ing is to be laid in the spring, are
wondering why they are paying paw
ing tax before the paving is laid.
The paving district was organized
last summer, the paving was de-
cided on, the bonds were offered for
sale, the money was placed at our
disposal and we commenced paying
interest on it. Then we let the con-
tract, the contractor got around to
this job In its turn, he commenced
work on West Bridge street leading
to the Snake river bridge, the
weather turned wet and remained
wet so that 1t was impossible to lay
bitulithic paving and he had to ad-
1ourn till spring. If we had had the
kind of autumn weather that we us
ually have, much of the paving would
have been laid.
When we laid our other paving,
we took the other plan for It; we
were not very prompt in preparing
the levy for collecting interest and
starting to pay on the paving. The

A Banker
Speaks
A local banker said that while the
merchants were not very loyal to one
another and that while the man
working in an office was not very
loyal to the merchants next door
and while somebody dealing In lum-
Der might not buy his fire insurance
from a local insurance man and all
go about berating their fellow mer-
chant and astownsman, the greatest
loss to this community is caused by
the fellow, who goes out and canvas
ses all the country, going to all the
farms and ranches, where people are
heavy consumersfin groceries and
books their orders for complete
stocks of goods to be shipped to them
c. O. D., the freight expense bill
coming thru their local banks and
the person receiving their goods pay
ing the money to the bank before
they get possession Of the goods.
They are buying of a stranger, un-
sight, unseen, and all the work of
packing and shipping those goods is
done in some other county and state
not their own and the taxes and en-
ployment developing from that bust
ness go to the outside community,
not their own. Granting that the
goods they get are as good as what
they would get from their local mer-
chants and that the taxes are the
same and that there is no particular
gain or loss either way, it is ruinous
practice for their home community.
Even if they get the goods a little
cheaper it is still ruinous practice
because what hurts the COM
munity hurts them. The banker
said it was constant drain
of money out of the country thru
that source He said that if the
stream of money could be diverted
into the business of the local firms
carrying that kind of goods, it would
keep lot of the money at home and
would give a lot of employment to
home people. 1t would help build
up our town instead of helping to
kill our town and make business
good in some other county or state.
Nobody in particular is to blame
for all this, everybody is guilty alike,
our town is suffering from it and it
serves us right. In these cold win
ter days when the community should
be humming with the industry aris-
ing from the feeding and fattening
of livestock on all the farms of this
country; when the stores should be
busy filing orders, it is all quiet on
the farms; all quiet on the streets;
business is below normal and none
Of US are living ur to- the full op-
portunities that are scattered around
