Yes, there is no doubt that Joseph ihas a Sood future and those wn are Be Optimistic. It is always easier to tear down than to build up. Despondence comes far more naturally than hopefulness to many men. So it is far more needful to be on your guard against pessimism than against optimism. Wallowa Sun.

At the Tegular meeting of the Food Conservation committee last evening it was found that the matter of list ing lots has been a keen, disappoint ment The campaign was entered in to as a patriotic move giving all peo ple interested a chance to help solve our foad problems. But when it came to getting lots for gardening rent free it seems that the prospects for in creased revenue excited some owners to the point where they were willing to rent .on fifty-fifty basis, lots that had not been cultivated for a period of niteen years. If you have a lot that can 'be cult ivated and cannot cultivate it your self please notify the committee. The work of tft.e Honor Guard girls, has clearly demonstrated that there;' are more gardens planted this year than ever before in the history of our. city. too let everybody, real estate own ers, merchants, working people and all go into this matter of . raising garden with from a patriotic point of view forgetting entirely the monetary side.
