and the Churches, and the automobile
owners, and all the; other organizations
rent property and grow potatoes?
Why ,not? Simply because Inc this vil-
lage every bowler and every ether
man who belongs to .any organization
has his own garden to attend and
there is no need of a multiplicity of
plans. If everyone attends to his own
garden as he shauld he will, do well.
