4 THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. APRIL 20, 1917. MAKE YOUR GARDEN HELP THE NATION Now Is the Time for All Patriot to Do Some Plant ing and Hoeing. OEOW ANYTHING EATABLE By A. R. GROH. If this article results in 1,000 extra acres of foodstuffs Wing planted this .spring it shall not have been written in vain. This extra acreage would add, for example, 25,000 to 50,000 bushels of corn to the nation's store; it would add from 75,000 to 300,000 bushels of potatoes. "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the country," as the typewriter practice line runs. Planting lime is right now. The seed must be put into the ground without delay in order that it may yield bountiful food for the nourish ment of our people and for the car goes of hundreds of ships that shall sail across the ocean, carrying the food that the allied countries need from us. No part Is too smalt to play in this work. You, King Farmer, have the biggest part. Upon you the eyes of the world are directed. You have the land, labor and machinery to produce this food. In the past you have planted and cultivated, thinking chiefly of your own profit. This year t higher re sponsibility, a patriotic duty rests upon you. Usa Every Acre. You must use every possible acre of your farm for raising food grains, vegetables, meat. Don't let a single acre "loaf." K you have a ten-acre patch or a five-acre patch or even one acre that you let lie fallow in other years, get into it with the plow this year. Un less you do, you are unfaithful to your trust. If you raise an extra five acres of corn or potatoes this summer, you will be providing food for several hundred people for t month. Can't you just see those people? If you don't raise that extra five acres of food these hundreds may go hungry, or even atarve. There's your respon sibility. Don't say to yourself, "The little extra that I could raise won't make any difference." Suppose million of our farmere each put in five extra acres of corn and raise twenty-five bushels to the acre (the average yield), it will mean 125.000,000 bushels of com. And that will feed a lot of people, or produce a lot of meat. Soldier va. Farmer. If your son wanti. to enlist as a sol dier or sailor and if you can't raise as much foodstuffs without his help, then it is his. duty to stay on the farm. He can serve his country best, under those conditions, by plowing planting and harvesting. Ydji may have to work extra hard. But - you will have ' the pleasant thought that you are doing a most useful work, that you are feeding the hungry and that you are aervii.g your country as a patriot of the first or der. All this in addition to the extra big prices you will get for everyhing you raise this year. Around the city here, nearly every vacant lot and back yard and subur ban acre is tinder cultivation this spring. Never before has there been so much small gardening. Work. Work early and late. Put forth the supreme effort for your country, for the world and for your elf. America is watching you. America expects you to do your duty. Benson Folks Try To Stop Eaces at ' Track Near There Ernest L. Underwood, Louis F. ; Trinpe, John W. Kurti and Arthur H. Marvin, Benson property owners, have started injunction proceedings in district court in an attempt to enjoin the Omaha Driving club from holding : harness race meetings at the former Douglas County Agricultural socie ty's track. The agricultural aocietr and the Metropolitan Water board are ; named as co-defendants. The Omaha ' Driving club recently took over all the agricultural society's interests at the Benson racing plant. The property Owners allege that the race track is a "public nuisance on account of the large crowds which will be attracted o the track by the horse races." They seek to enjoin the driving club from making further im provements at the track and ask that the court order the present barns to i be torn down. , Ois M. Smith, superintendent of speed and a' member of the board of directors of the driving club, which ' holds memberships in the Great West ern circuit, Iowa-Nebraska-Minnesota . circuit and the Nebraska Speed asso ciation, said that he welcomed the suit, inasmuch as it will give the courts a chance to settle the matter before the scheduled dates of the im portant race meetings. "I don't know of a metroooltan ' city in the country where high class harness racing is regarded as. a nm ' sance," said Mr. Smith. "The big cities of the east certainly do not think so. Harness racinsr. vacked bv 1 reputable business men, is as high ' class a sport as base ball, and I can't see why property owners should have any objections to it." Summer Camp Fund is - Much Nearer the Goal M. C Peters' donation of $100, that of the Hotel Men's association for , $40, and $203.49 collected Wednesday, brings the Young Women's Christian association summer camp fund up to ' $13,642.92.

Not a single application has been made. "We are swamped with requests for first aid, surgical dressings and home nursing classes, but no one has asked for a class in dietetics," said Mrs. C. T. Kountze, chairman of instruc tion for women. Dietetics is the only other subject taught in the Red Cross classes. "The women all .want to go to the front. That's why they're all studying nursing," ventured one woman at headquarters. - "Any woman can make something for an invalid to eat. They don't have to study it," remarked another, "It's not nearly so interesting," said a third. Mrs. Ross Towle has . the newest first aid class in charge. Dr. W. Y. Thompson will instruct the class Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11 and 12 o'clock at the Nurses' club. Miss Delia Coutts, just registered, is one of the few who will give her services freely, in case of need. "I will go anywhere at any time and do any work there is to do," Miss Coutts expressed preference for motor driving. city dumps. Tin cans, bottle and yard rakings will be collected. Ashes will not be hauled by the city. Do nor throw rubbish on the ash heap ana expect the driver to separate it. Rub bish and cans should be put in piles at the alley or just inside the fence convenient for the teamster to shovel into the wagon. City wagons will not haul away broken furniture, old bed springs or junk iron." Wagons and trucks will be started early Friday morning. Ralph Kitchen Sells Lot On West Dodge Street Ralph Kitchen has sold the vacant lot at Nineteenth and Dodge streets which he bought a few months ago from Elmer S. Redick.

Rain Cripples Lumber Market, Omahans Say George Rasmussen and J. E. Dodds have returned from Tennessee and Alabama, where they sought to pur chase lumber stock at the mills. They report the heavy rains in Tennessee have made it exceedingly difficult to get red cedar posts, poles and piling. At some places the wagons hauling the lumber out of the woods have been running hub-deep in mud, they say. Heavy Rains Swell the Streams and Delay Trains Wilh the exception of a limited area in the eastern portion, rain Wednes day night was general over Nebraska. The precipitation ranged from one fourth to two inches, the heaviest downpour being out along the North western, in Holt county. Stromsburg and numerous stations in the South Flatte country report an inch to an inch and one-half. As a result of the torrential rains, trains are late in arriving from the west, the delay being caused by soft tracks. , In the Republican river valley the streams are high, a number of the smaller ones being out of their banks.
