Nebraska the Leader
Fraulc A. Vanderlip of -the treasury
department catno all tho way from
Washington to Omaha to tell Nebras
kans what wonderful things they had
accomplished in securing subscrip
tions of ?20,000,000 for thrift stamps
in the short space of two hours iu one
day.
"flow did you do ltV" asked Mr
Vanderlip of Ward burgess, the Ne
braska mnuagor of the thrift stamps
campaign.
"Well, sir," said Mr. Burgess, taking
tho stand, "we had mighty few talkers
but we did have a whole lot of work
ers." "Workers is right," exclaimed Mr.
Vanderlip, "for Nebraska stands at the
head and no state is a close second.
Were it not for Nebraska we might re
port Mitt the job of .selling two billion
dollar'?, worth of thrift stamps could
not be done. Hut Nebraska has shown
as the way "
Hut thttt'h Nebraska'-, long bult
showing other stites how to do good
things thai are big things iu a big way
that is a good way. This state sub-
scribed for Stt),(m0,)0n worth of the
Stls.oOO.OOO of thrift stamps sold In
the United States up to May 1.
"I told Mr. Vanderllpy' sahl Mr.
Jlurgess, "if he wanted to See the true
spirit to come out west. The eastern
ers are nice peoplo ami we need them
iu our work, but if they want the real
thing they must eomo out west where
it grow.s "
True Patriotism
XcbtasUaV spirit is relleeted intense
ly iu the oiler of Mix Florance Heck
ler, Spade. Neb, to turn over Hour U
the boys in the trenches. In a letter
to Gordon W. Wattles, she says:
i live forty-live miles from tin
railroad station. 1 have six 2Mb
mcIis of Hour, which I have helghted
out here. It is no sacrifice" to go with
out wheat Hour. We havo mid no
white Hour or anything iiiudo from
vhout Hour since lust November
Flt-aso iidvlso mo wheie t: send this
Hour "
"When Nebraskaus show the spirit
ot this woman is tlieie any question
n Nebraska's patriotism".'" says Wat
tie's. "Her otter should lie au Ineen
live to every citizen of the state. Is
saluted you might say, fiom the world
and deprived Oi tjje convenience of
modern life, she lias heard the appeal
of lifer country and she bus answered
Ms only uu American can.
'"Shall we, who live in the midst ol
plenty, with eveiy coiutort and uun
vonience, permit this woman In the
far oh" dlstiic.t of the state to respond
while wo tail'.' Theie is only one
answer.
We must, at all costs conserve Horn
to the utmost. Wo must makoavalla
ble lor the boys In tho trenches that
necessity of life which cnuldcs them to
battle for us. Wo must send them
tlour and we must quit using it, If
accessary, that thev may have hutll
dent to keep them going.
"We can send them only what we do
not eat.
"One Important lesson should be
evident from experiences of the past,
If we faithfully observe the rules and
regulations of tho Food Admlclstrn.
tlon, wo can anticipate conditions and
avoid unpleasant situations, whiqh 10
quire unusual and extraordinary rem
edies to successfully meet."
"Tib easy enough to be ploasuut
When life Hows like it song
But tho man worth while
Js the man who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong."
Soldiers Pledge
1 am one of the tommies, waiting to
go over to tl e land of stilfe to aid our
Hi-others "over tlieie In the protee
llou of our homes "over here." And
let mo say tills In behalf of ourselves:
It is plain tact, no boasting. Audi
belloiolt to be the attitude of every
American soldier "over heie" or "over
there "
The civilian at home does all tin
worrying, which is better than to have
the boys in iinifoim do It We don't
havo time to worry, wo aic getting
ready to stop the worry stufT, and we
arc getting ready fast, uur way to
stop-It Is to get on the spot us soon as
possible, pour lend uud steel Into the
other fellow faster limn be can put it
into UN not that it is the most huniHiie
way to do the job but it is the only ef
fective way, It being that ry decent
.itnl humane way has been e:,hauMeil
Thuy will not heed' Therefore we,
the boys ot America, do pledge our
selves In our hearts that:
We will give our lives In pro
tei'tliiir our loved ones from the
tiwlul crimes committed on others
by the most dastardly vil inns
that over raised an offending hand
against fellow human beings. The
"Iloclie" have criminally assaulted
and foully murdered the good
women of France, Helglum and
Uussiu. They will do the same, if
allowed to go on, to the women of
America, England and Italy.
They havo murdered innocent
babies as they laid asleep on their
tiny cots, as they knelt iu prayer
for deliverance from the sword of
"Kult."
We will deem It a pleasure to die
if a few of those innocent ones may
be spared; that the power of Au
tocracy may be forever abolished
from the face of the earth; that
all men may live as God created
themFree and equal.
Wo will keep tint freedom that
our forefathers made for us that
we may give It to those that come
after us. They spilled their blood
that we might enjoy the blessings
of life, liberty, and pursuit of hap
piness, and our blood is no more
precious than theirs.
It being that our wives, mothers
and sisters have sent us away from
our homes with a smile and a
caress; those smiles are our ha
los; those caresses the seals to
our pledges for their protection;
those love-lit eyes, dimmed with
tears, our guiding stars. Wo will
not turn back till we havo finished
our task iu a manner that it will
not have to be done over again.
Wo are lesigued to whatever
befalls us other than defeat. That
any further advances of the foe of
foes shall not be otherwise than
over our dead bodies.
Wo are resigned to tho will of
(iod Almighty, in whom we trust
implicitly.
Give us .your help, your love and
sympathy. Show us you are with us
that we may bo of high moral courage
Buy Liberty Hands, buck the lied
Cross, the V M C. A. the K. of (J They
ue our best friends. It' we can give
air all, life, you can give your service.

Notes Concerning the
Children's Gardens
In response to the many various
questions putt to me in lcgaul to the)
childien's gardens, often misunder
stood us merely school gardens, I will
for the benefit of all concerned and
inteicstcd answer through these col
umns. The Junior Agricultural Extension
Work was started in Nebraska thru
tho organization of boys' and girls'
clubs by the state Department of Pub
lic Instruction. In 1012, the State De
partment arranged for tho Extension
Service of tho University of Nebras
ka, College of Agriculture, to take
over the woik under the terms of tho
Smith-Lever coopcrathe law, which
provided for both federal and state
aid in the piomotion of tho woik.
In August, 1017, tho Congress of
the United States, milixing tho pos
sibility for increased food pioduction
and its conservation thru tho activi
ties of boys and girls, made it pos
sible for wui' emeigcncy funds to be
usedto supplement tho work tho Jun
ior Section of the Extension Service
was already doing. As a lesult tho
department has now grown to con
sist, of twolvu state workers, nine
district leaders, 10 county club lead-1
eis, 7-1 town and city supervisors, be
sides a largo number, of county and
city superintendents of schools and'
other community leaders, who aic-i
actively pionioting tho work. I
It cert'ainly isnot too into to start;
a garden, not until ami including the I
month of August the last day, as the
table below will bear out together
with other explanatory notes.
In order to compete for prizes, it is
not necessary for a child to bo in a
ceilain guide, etc, as theio will be
two prizes for every grade legaid-
less ot age.
I'lie most importnt roaaioi for all
children to garden, is not because of
the probable half school credit, nor tho
pnzes, but because their little hands
are needed to help produce tho sorely
needed food supplies, for tho suppoit
of those who aie fighting abroad, nnd
for our own support as the President's
letter explains.
"I sincciely hope that you will bo
successful through tho Bureau of Ed
ucation in arousing tho interest of
teachers and children in tho schools
of tho United States in tho cultiva
tion of homo gaidcns. Every boy and
girl who lealiy sees what tho home
garden may mean will, I am sure, en
tor into tho purpose with high spirits,
becnuse I nm sure they would all like
to feel that they are in fact lighting
in Franco by joining tho homa garden
army. They know that America has
undertaken to send meat and flour and
wheat and other foods for the support
of tho soldiers who are doing tho

fighting, for the men and women who
are making tho munitions, and for the
boys and girls of Western Europe, and
that we must also feed ourscivas wh'lc
wo are carrying on this war. The
movement to establish gavdens, the,re-'
fore, and to have the children work in
them is just as real and patriotic an
effort as the building of ships or the
firing of cannon. I hope that this
spring cery school will have a rcg-'
iment in the Volunteer War Garden
Army. I
. Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON." -Tho
past week has kept many from
working in the gardens because of the '
heavy rains which allowed grass and
weeds to grow. Therefore, as soon as '
the ground is fairly dry, get busy to
pull, hoe and rake, remembering that
it doesn't pay to live where weeds
can't grow, but where they do, keep
them down and your garden clean.
Your supervisor may be around any
day the first week in June to visit
your garden and to take a look at
your record book.
