Get Out Your War Hoe.
Cincinnati Enquirer.) ]

The city gardening which Americans practiced during the World War the people of Vienna have adopted permanent municipal policy As joint result they have bcaufed their city and have pro- vded highly desirable food supply that vastly important during the period of stress for the main tenance of life and health
 This cultivation of land inside the city limits was begun about ten years the instgaors of the plan being factory workmen who leased small plots upon which they raised vegetables Their main object however to give themselves and their families a change from the routine and to enjoy working in the open air
 It is interesting to note that in 1922 these little gardens contributed to the food supply 65OO cars of potatoes, 060 tons of fruit and 240 berries besides quantities green vegetables Of all kinds. There also reared chickens goats and rabbits, which added greatly to the store of flesh rations and notable factor in this respect
 In this heathful and profitable occupation last year SOOO0 families, representing 370000 people, took part, cultivating of 24,000 900 square meters. The census of domestic animals and fowls showed that they owned a quarter of million chickens 27O,O00 rabbits and 4000 goats Virtually all Of the unsightly vacant lots have been trans formed into neat garden patches with the general result of making that handsome municipality all the more attractive to the visitor. The United States Department of Commerce. in reporting these facts makes the suggestion that the practice should be revived in his country.
 Many thousands who during the war became city farmers today recall with satisfaction the pleasure and the benefits derived from their little holdings not the least of which the price of production and the rare comfort of enjoying fruits of one own toll. As health measure nothing yields a greater return upon the investment mild exercise Tn the open. Many benefited in this drec- tion It is with delight that the many pretty gar dens of that exciting period are recalled There is then, every for the revival of the city garden and the time is at hand when the preparations should be made for planting them.

An Old-SchOOl Senator.
(NeW York Post.l

Just plain, blamed fool Mississippi Democrat John sharp Williams made his exit from Congress yesterday with somewhat less applause than his old crony Joe Canncn, for the Senate is less demons ra tive than the House. But his retirement which he announced long ago by saying that he would rather bay the moon than again. removes a figure hardly less picturesque and not whit less able In the llst or eminent House minority leaders of recent decades-Reed. Crisp, Champ Clark. Joe Balloy James R. Mann, and others-Williams had established his position as of the most effective before he went into the Senate. He entered the upper house in Wilson Administration there. His remarkable knowl- edge Of foreign affairs the consistency of his position as thick-and-thfn supporter of President Wilson his intense hostility to all forms of demagogy and ms nberalminded opposition to petty partsansbip n would have distinguished him even had his gifts as aEce always made him quotable He was most pungent when he simply ouspoken on subjects olherS avoided.

NOTHING GIVEN AWAY THROUGH
 DEVELOPMENT.

The development of Alaska by Outside capital docs not giving Alaska away. It means the multiplication of opportunities for the people who live and struggle for improvement and prosperity here, their children and those who may here and their children. It the development of citizens who may become investors and developers themselves. It just is the other pioneer sections of the country which have developed through the investment of outside capital into popuous and rich States. Nothing is given away if 1t is developed. It is through non-developmen that opportunities wasted and lives that otherwise would have been fruitful in accomplishment frittered away

It urged that the way to proceed was to accept his statement and to go about get legisa- tion It said, further
 In the meantime if any of the regula

 reserves are unfair or unjust why not pres

 nothing in MT. Hoovel's record to

 A few days afterward MT. Staser introduced a memorial in the Legislature suggesting effect that Mir Sutherland present to Mr Hoover the alleged stances of injustice tc the small packers" in the regulations that had been adopted.
 In the meantime representatives of small pack CTS went to Washington and put their case up to those who made the regulations We have the answer Of the Department of Commerce to their complaints The Associated Press dispatches say

Santa's reindeer,
they felt great responsibility on

"None of the Others" remarked
Comet anxiously, "know the shortcuts

through the Milky Way. Do you re-

In no time at all the reindeer were
harnessed, the packs tumbled In, and
off they flew, Santa holding the relns
In both hands.
Comet and Cupid outdid themselves.
They went like the wind. The little
boy In Poland heard their impatient
feet on the roof and caught one tiny
glimpse of the sleigh. The child In
Canada found the hay she had left for
the reindeer all gone in the morning.
No present was lost, no house forgot

Back in their stalls once more, Comet
and Cupid gave long slghs Of satisfac-
ton. "Of course Santa is the one
people think about most, but after all,
