False Pride Keeps Many Citizens From Enjoying Benefit of Garden
BY W. R. POUNOSTONE "Just recently I listened to a discusBlon of the back yard and vacant lot gardening question by a few of our citizens who are in moderate circumstances, men who are neither rich nor poor, and I was astonished when one of these men said that hi would like to garden a vacant lot near hi3 home but hesitated to do eo for fear some of his well-to-do neighbors, inclined to snobbishness, would take the opportunity to refer to him as a 'poor man.' " After one of the city's best known physicians had made the foregoing statement he remarked: "That man is suffering from one of the worst cases of 'false pride' that has ever come to my attention." Not Formulated for Poor Man. The vacant lot gardening Idea was not formulated and developed for the exclusive benefit of the poor man. No matter what a man's financial rating is he is not above home gardening, and he will be physically better if he cares for his garden himself, for there is no more wholesome exercise than working in a garden. What one Rains from spading and b-rjtrr iis garden U infinitely more tv- pretige one loses with snob1 ,ch neighbors, and it is doubtful if R'hmond harbors many sncbs. In considering the question of out-i'f-rut a garden tho average citizen FnuM bear in mind not only the fact that there was a unusual shortage of parden produce last summer, with resulting exhorbitant prices, but also that the United States is now practically at ' war with Germany. In war times there Is always an abnormal demand for all kinds of foodstuffs. - Produce Prices. The" cost of garden seed may be high right now, but the Indications are that the prices of garden produce will continue high for an indefinite period. Vegetables which formerly found
no place on our tables are already ,
in demand and we probably will be compelled to consume large quantities of them. " Many of these vegetables are profuse yielders and at the same time have a good ratio of food content, and
their . prowtn requirements are easily! met. Unfortunately only a very few; city people know the food content of j the various vegetables and are. there-: fore, unable to select one for the sub-; etitutlcn of another. Thi3 knowledge; can be acquired by intelligent inquiry , jnd will be of great importance to, the provider for a family. I County Agents Help City Folks. ' In many places throughout the state the Invaluable "county agents" are coming to the aid of the perplexed ; eity dwellers who want to put out gar- j dents. Unfortunately for Wayne county it has no such official, the county author- j lties having decided in the profundity
of their towering wisdom, or stupidity, as you choose to regard it, that Wayne county was a community so far superior to the other 91 unita of the state, that a county agricultural agent would be about as useful to our people as their Adam's apples. Agent or no agent, the fact remains that the wi6e man will put out a garden this year and for the years to come if he can possibly arrange to do so. Snobs only bark; they can't bite.
The Cheerful Man
John Seaman sits at his window seat, And faithfully pegs and patches The weak understanding of divers folk, ' And sends them away in batches; He never growls and never swears, But greets with a pleasant grin, And every man as he passes by. With a smile on his face looks in. John Seaman works with a song in his heart, And a Joy in the work well done. And to keep a contented front to the world Is surely a victory won; He served his country faithful and well, He served his community too, And now he is serving the whole mankind By letting his grin creep through.

' Senator James E. Watson has been invited by Esther Griffin White, Sixth district chairman of the Woman's
Franchise League, to be present at the district meeting to be held in Rushville Saturday and speak informally at the luncheon to be given following the business meeting. The address of the occasion will be made by Professor Harlow Lindley, of Earlham, on phases of the constitutional convention and the election which precedes the convention, and a general discussion of the political rights of women under the new suffrage law will take place. A party of suffragists from Richmond, including seven delegates from the local league, will leave in automobiles in the morning. Senator Watson is in
Rushville for a few days and his pres
ence there was considered fortunate
by the district chairman as an oppor
tunity for him to define his position on the federal amendment. Delegates from this city who were appointed are Mrs. Nelle Barnard. Mrs. E. E. Dye, Mrs. George Chrisman, Miss Hammersbaugh, Miss Florence King, Miss Annette Edmunds and Miss Esther Griffin White. At a meeting of the aid society of the Trinity Lutheran church held Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. George Kemper in Reeveaton,
plans were made for two meeting to be held during the year when does" of
fifty cents will be paid by each of the members. The society will celebrate
its twenty-fifth anniversary in August
the day the congregation celebrates Its twenty-fifth anniversary. An Interesting feature of the meeting was a paper, "Luther And The Open Bible" given by Mrs. 8tauber. A musical program was given. On account of Holy week and the Easter time the society will not meet again until April 12, when Mrs. George Schneider, South Twelfth street will be hostess.

The High Cost of Indigestible Food falls heavily upon the household where there is no intelligent direction of the food supply. Expensive high proteid foods, such as beef and pork, impose a heavy burden upon the liver and. kidneys. They are not as nutritious as cereals atic fruits. Two Shreddec Wheat Biscuits with milk supply all the nutriment needed for a half day's work at a cost of only four or five cents. Cut out meat and eggs, eat Shredded Wheat Biscuit with green vegetables and fruits, and see how much better you feel. For breakfast with hot milk or cream. Made at Niagara Falls, N. Y.
