BY-PPODUCTS OF GARDENING

A man with more zeal for accounting than for gar
denng made garden last year and then figured ru-
lessy what his home grown vegetables cost him. He
figured that the time he spent in his garden averaged
81 so day sum which would more than have paid
for daily vegebles at the local grocery store. His
conclusion was that home gardening does not pay.
good many home gardeners will promptly OBJ
iect to his conclusions. 1t is just another instance of
the deceptve nature Of figures and their occasional
inconclusiveness.
In the first place, the grocery store vegetables
would have lacked the freshness and good quality OF
his back yard product Peas and sWee. especially
deterorate rapidly in flavor and succulence and
never so fine as when directly from garden to
kitchen and used promptly If it possible to OBJ
tain such fresh vegetables from the grocer IS likely
the price would be considerably than the sum he
estimated for his labor.
But that isn't all. The grocery store vegetables
give the purchaser very little pleasure exercise
whereas the home grown healthfu both before
and after eating Certainly the grocer offering gives
the purchaser no such Of pride in accomplish
ment as the products achieved by his planning and
labor And only the confirmed gardner experiences
the glorious thrill OF being regular subscriber to the
earliest seed cataogs.

COURTEOUS DRIVING

"It is almost automatic writes the manager of a
bio automobile clubs traffic bureau that safe con-
duct on the highways is founded on courtesy.
A million detailed traffic rules cannot cover up
that fact There is no substitute for courtesy any
where least of all crowded highway.
There used to be Of it. this traffic man SAYS
than there is now. That in the days Wkan auto
mobiles were new and few. 1t natural then for
drivers to treat each other cOurteously they would
do in meeting neghbors the street. or touching ell
bows with them at theater church. But with the IN
crease of traffic pressure space and nerves they
have lost that fine old spirit Of mutual accommodation
So we try to make written rules and automatic signal
systems take the place Of courtesy and don't succeed
Il NAV be harder now not n2rely because there are
so MANY more cars the road but because a kinds
of people are driving them" There may be larger
proportion of Doors and thugs behind steering wheels
than there were in the primitive traffic days Of 10
Is wears ago Yet it still that courtesy is the
great solvent Gentemanly conduct is contagious, and
tends to multiply itself the road it does anywhere
else.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.-De-

Democrat. leading dry, asserted IN
the senate Saturday that the chance
for repeal of the 18th amendment
was practically negotiable and
chance for modification not much
better.
Partial failure of liquor law en-
forccmeut was admitted by Nickel

the fact that the man placed III

retary Of the Treasury Mellon, was
half owner of one Of the country ,
biggest brewericS.'
Negroes and working people esPe-
ciallv are benefited by prohibition,
the Tennessee leader said, adding
that only the wealthy class are
injured thereby.
McKellar denounced both men and
women of this class for their
liquor activities.
They buy liquor from bootleg
gers: Il is an awful thing to con-
template that these citizens, constis
tuting very small portion of tha
people Of America but ut the same
time a very influential and import
ant part. would thus be willing open
