ENCOURAGE THE YOUNG FOLKS.
Throughout this broad nation—indeed throughout the civ
ilized world—the planting of gardens and the raising of vege
tables has heroine a popular vocation for householders. A re
sort to this sadly neglected field of endeavor has been ren
dered necessary by the universal shortage of food supplies and
the consequent universal high cost of living. \Ye are all feel
ing the effects of this terrible world war. In Alaska we are
not immune from its far-reaching consequences, as evidenced
by the largely increased, and daily increasing, cost for flic ne
cessities of life. But the people of this nation the people of
the world—are learning some valuable lessons from this gigan
tic world-battle. They are learning to economize; learning to
employ and utilize that which is within their reach, by the ap
plication of a little industry. They are learning to themselves
grow much of that which they eat: they arc learning to plant
in garden patches the waste ground that surrounds t heir homes,
and to take advantage of the bounties of nature, when aided In
human hands. Stern necessity And common prudence is bring
ing about this change, and once universally adopted, it will
he continued down through the ages, because it will be found
that the planting of home garden truck adds wholesome food
to the table—and without cost, other than a little effort and a
little industry. It will he found that the problem of the high
cost of living now can be solved, if householders have the am
bition, tin- common sense, to employ the means at their dispos
al.
To encourage vegetable gardens, the great president the
United States proposes to set an example and plant one him
self. The soldier hoys on the war fronts are planting gardens.
The belligerent nations are mobilizing the boys from the city
and taking them to the country to raise food products. The big
cities of the United States are devoting vacant public grounds
to garden patches. The swell golf clubs of the country are
turning their golf links into vegetable patches. The billion
aires of the Rockefeller type arc throwing their magnificent
country estates open to the poor people, that gardens may lie
raised. Every city, hamlet and village within the borders of
the United States have vegetable garden campaigns on.
And Anchorage proposes to take a part in this vegetable
raising campaign. With commendable public-spirit, a de
partment of the Anchorage Woman’s club has set about to
encourage the school children of the town to raise gardens. To
stimulate the young folks, suitable prizes will lie awarded to
those having the best gardens. The young folks are taking
hold of the matter with enthusiasm, but it is absolutely neces
sary, if tfie best results are to be achieved, that the young folks
have the aid and the encouragement of their parents. It is a
distinct duty for the parents to lend all possible assistance to
this laudable undertaking—besides, they will derive the bene
fit by having the garden products for their home tables. Most
parents are not able to give their offspring much in the way
of financial aid. But they can give them something which is
infinitely better than mere money—they can instill in the minds
of the young the value of industry, thrift and prudence; they
can teach them to he practical, to employ the means within
their reach to the best advantage. We know of no better way
to teach these desirable attributes than to encourage the young
lo plant and raise gardens, because the products are worth
while, and because the child learns to become self reliant and
self-sustaining.
There will be a meeting of the parents of children in this
community at the school house tomorrow night at 8 o’clock, at
which time the prize garden contest will be discussed. Bar
ents should attend this meeting.
TIu* Times received a dispatch from its Seattle correspond
cut tIn* other day saying that the Alaska steamship lines plan
ned to increase the passenger and freight rates at an early date.
The managing owner of a southeastern Alaska line takes the
trouble to notify his Juneau agent that so far as his line is con
cerned, lie does not propose to raise the rates, which he thinks
arc sufficiently high now. In this opinion, the people are with
him. lie further intimates that it is up to his line to bear a
part of the burdens of war and In* thinks that by maintaining
the same rates, instead of joining with others in hoisting them,
will be his contribution to the cause. In taking this position,
In* is to be commended. I tut there i- no use in protesting until
we are hurt. None of the lines have officially announced a raise
in rates. Let us hope they will not do so.
From our brief report, it would appear that the war reve
nue bill hits the opulent fellows, placing the burdens upon
those who are best able to bear them. That’s the proper pol
icy. These rich fellows have been making millions out of this
world war, and will make millions more by the entry of the
United States into the conflict. A few thousands means no
more to a millionaire than a few cents does to the average per
son. Let the fellows who are making the big profits pay a con
sidrable share of it in war taxes. The big remainder of us will
have about all we can do to make ends meet, due to the in
creased cost of living.
