WEEKLY TIMES-RECORD VALLEY CITY, NORTH DAKOTA GREENWOOD & HOUGHTALING OFFICIAL PAPER BARNES COUNTY Subscription, $1.50 a Year, in Advance Entered at the Postofflce in Valley City, North Dakota as second class mail matter. REST ROOMS That rest rooms are wise invest ments and that other cities are provid ing rest rooms is evident from a news dispatch from Green Bay, Wis. The Green Bay people claim that they have something new in civic im provement. They have a large one Btory brick building which they call the Brown County Woman's building. Men are also allowed the building's privileges. The building is primarily intended for a rest room for out-of town shoppers. Tables, couches, easy chairs, magazines, writing material, lavatories in fact, every conven ience sought by the woman away from home, is provided. Rooms for com mittee meetings and for lodge and mass meetings are also provided. If the city of Green Bay finds that it is profitable to erect a building for its out-of-town shoppers, we be lieve that Valley City would find it profitable to maintain a rest room. ERROR CREPT IN In tabulating the returns from the Fourth ward the vote on mayor gave Moe 48 instead of 97, which he really received. The total was correct, but the 48 for that ward did not give him the showing he was entitled to. It was one of those typographical errors for which no one is particularly to blame, and which eervybody seems to notice immediately. A well written communication was received by the Times-Record this morning signed "Fair Play." Publish ers i»".ariably require the name of the •writer, not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. Ar ticles not properly signed by the au thor will not be published, and this one is no exception. Signs of Spring Are Everywhere and So Are Signs of "Dress Up." They Both Stand for Good Cheer and Confidence— "Cheer Up," ""Dress Up." This is the time of year that a young man's fancy turns to love, and the newspaper man has visions ot spring advertising. Our merchants •are going to co-operate in a healthy manner, which makes us predict a delightful season. The following timely advice is cull ed from one of Walt. Mason's ripplers: "The time's at hand, 0 sons of toil, to buy eight quarts of linseed oil, and half a peck of lead and zinc, and paint the hounse that's on the blink." The rulers of the European countries at war have been devoting a lot of their time to praying, says a report, hut it might have been a mistake and intended for preying. Old iron and rags have nearly doubled in price, and people will pay more attention to the bewhiskered fellow who makes a noise at the back door. A Massachusetts man has a new breed of hogs called "sapphires." They have never appeared on street cars or in congress. Bryan received many felicitations on his fifty-sixth birthday. The gist of them all was that he might live long and prosper, but never be president. A ilttle system and spare time de voted to cultivating a garden in your back yard will yield handsome returns. It seems that the government of China can't stay put. They have again resumed the republican form. This is the time of year when the bride-to-be gets all the notices, and nary a word about the tried-to-be. There are a lot of people anxiously waiting for Old Winter to get bounced out of the lap of spring. The United States soldiers will prob ably encounter more than one "Villa in the mountains." Democratic harmony in North Da kota is the same brand to be found in Mexico. It seems almost too good to hope that our aeroplanes will get the drop on Villa. Iron dollars may become a reality. Austria and Germany have iron coins. In regard to changing human nature —it can't be done.

It does not only have a dollars and cents value, but the vegetables it supplies make for better health, which in return makes the members of the family capable of doing their work more easily as well as to enjoy life more. H. 0. Werner, of the North Dakota Experi ment station, has the following to say on the subject: "In the year 1909, there were 74, 360 farms in the state of Norh Da kota. Of these, 32,753 farms, or 44 per cent of the total number reported farm vegetable gardens, each produc ing an average of $31 worth of vege tables per year. In addition to this, 10,499 farms reported gardens, but did not report the value of the vege tables produced on them. Taking the average value of the vegetables pro duced on these 43,252 farms in 1909, at $31, the vegetables raised on the farms of North Dakota were valued at about $1,340,000. However, there were 31,118 farms or 42 per cent of the total number, that reported grow ing no vegetables at all. Every farm er should have a garden of one-third to one-half acre, which should pro duce vegetables worth at least $50 per garden per year. If given rea sonable care (according to results gathered at the North Dakota Experi ment station) a garden like this on every farm would increase the value of the vegetable crop to $3,718,000 an nually. However, this actual value of the vegetables is only a part of the real gain that would accrue to the state, as will be explained in this article. Many farmers consider a garden too bothersome dnd trifling. How ever, the greatest value of the gar den lies not in the money saving, but in better health and in the increased enjoymest of life through a greater variety of better food. It is a well known fact among all health authori ties, that most people eat too much meat and not enough fresh vegetables. If the vegetables are not raised on the farm, very lew farm homes will have them, as many farmers on account of their location cannot buy fresh vege tables and will have only a fractional part of the fresh vegetables that they could produce is their own gardens. Therefore, if any vegetables are used, they are bought in tin cans and can ned vegetables are used all through the summer. This is very poor econ omy, as the vegetables in tin cans KODAKS Developing and Printing. At lowest prices, best work and prompt service. Write us for price list.

D. cost the farmer at least ten times as much as it would cost him to raise them as fresh vegetables, which are so much more desirable for summer and fall use. Then, too, every farm home can save on the cost of the win ter supply of food by canning some of the vegetables raised in the gar den. The canning of vegetables per fectly is a very simple process when the modern cold-pack method is fol lowed. A farm vegetable garden of about one-third to one-half afire will supply continuously through the summer enough fresh vegetables for most farm families, besides a surplus for storing and canning. According to re sults commonly obtained with vege tables in North Dakota, the produce from a garden of this size should be worth $50 to $75 at wholesale prices. But, if a farmer buys such a quantity of fresh vegetables he will have to pay about $125 or more for them and if he buys an equal amount of these vegetables as canned goods, he will have to pay $300 and up to $500 and he will not 'be able to buy quite a num ber of different vedetables, as they are not generally canned. Practically all vegetables can be grown on any North Dakota farm if they are handled in the right way and if the proper varieties are used. The special knowledge needed for growing some of the vegetables is not very much and can be easily procured andi mastered. The United States department of ag riculture at Washington issues many' bulletins on the growing and canning of vegetables, all of which can be had by anyone for the asking. The horti cultural department of the North Da kota agricultural experiment station has prepared a circular entitled "The Farmer's Vegetable Garden," which tells how to raise vegetables on the farms of North Dakota. It can be se cured by writing to the Agricultural college, Fargo, for circular No. 5. The'bicycle manufacturers are go ing to make a million machines this year, but nobody pays any attention to a scorcher any more. ^rSJVY$ SOME READABLE VERSE WHAT'S WHAT,AND WHERE The horrid war is still afloat We notice by the daily— There's little hope for Mr. Root, And Teddy's looking palely!
