This is the time for America to correct her un- pardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance. Let every man and every woman assumé the duty of careful, provident use and expenditure as a public duty, as a dictate of patriotism which no one can now expect ever to be excused or forgiven for ignoring. There are few households in the United States for which these words can not have instant meaning and suggestion. ‘There are fev} men, women or children in the United States who cannot immediately give them force in practical retrenchments and economies.

Property owners are offering vacant plots in various parts of the city for more model gardens. Newspapers and public officials in other towns and cities are indorsing and helping along the work.
