THE HORTICULTURAL PATRIOT. 



The prize food-raising patriot has 

 been found. 



He called up a war garden office 

 somewhere in America, and the fol- 

 lowing conversation ensued: 



"Will the war garden committee 

 plow lots for people this spring?" 



"Yes." 



"And the government will furnish 

 free seeds?" 



"Yes, to a certain extent." 



"Well. I want you to send a man 

 out to plow my lot, and have one of 

 your inspectors do the planting;, and 

 take care of it for me this summer." 



He was entirely in earnest about it. 



"The city has plenty of money." he 

 insisted, when the committee tried to 

 explain matters to him. 



"I donl see why you can't plant 

 the garden and look after it for me. 

 I'm perfectly willing to furnish the 

 lot." 



Which reminds one of the village 

 borrower who decided to raise a brood 

 of chickens, and asked the loan of a 

 dozen eggs from one neighbor and a 

 setting hen from another, and proudly 

 announced that she had the nest her- 

 self. 



If there is any man in this city 

 whose patriotism is of the same 

 brand as that of the generous citizen 

 referred to above, he deserves to 

 have the city start a garbage plant 

 or a gas factory in his back yard. — 

 Manchester (N. H.) Mirror.
