Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 240, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 October 1918 — Liberty Garden. [ARTICLE]

Liberty Garden.

War gardens are now called Liberty gardens, a more fitting term. Liberty is freedom, and a good garden means liberation from store vegetables, the free use of fresh food right from the garden, easily worth double the price of store stuff to a particular person. Work in the garden means freedom in God’s sunlight and pure air. Plenty of fresh vegetables and exercise in the open air mean freedom from disease, and the necessary toll insures sound, refreshing Sleep. If a garden is a good garden, surely it is a Liberty garden, without consideration of the food it may save to send to those who are giving their all for liberty.
