Speaking of Garden Seeds
The Garden Club Conservation
is asking for further contribu
tions to the Victory Garden seed
fund. Planting time is NOW, and
Se requests for seeds are beyond
e reach of the funds now avail
le.
The committee wants it distinct
ly understood, however, that this
is help for those who are willing
and eager to help themselves, and
not an effort that will result in
creating another class of depen
dents. There are far too many
already desiring help in every di
rection, from federal, state and
social agencies, because such aid
is now available and no one
knows what conditions will be in
another year. Of one thing we
may ensure; conditions wluu jdh.
CHANGED, and not on the help
ful side; there will be shortages
and sacrifices that do not exist
at present. But this is precisely
why the Victory Garden campaign
was started: to educate the peo
ple, to wake us all up to the im
ofirtance of good food, for good
health and general self reliance
and independence. In short every
community and every individual
in it should learn to be self sus
taining; every citizen on his own
feet, and on his own soil if pos
sible, holding up his own head for
freedom and self respect. If he
has a back-ache from pulling up
weeds, he will still have strength
to stan^ up and salute the flag.
And when eating time comes
things will taste much sweeter
than if the WPA or Uncle Sam
himself had done the work.

day, and the names of the Repub
lican candidates who will oppose

mary of May in the general elec
tion in • November, were also re
leased.
Democratic nomination in rolK
County is not equivalent to elec
tion, as is in many Southern states
because both Democratic and Re
publican votes are very close in
Polk County; and successful can
didates in the general election have
been put into office by as small
a margin as pne and two votes.
There have been two Republican
sheriffs within the past 12 years.
The following Democratic can
didates have filed for the pri
mary, and the name of the Re
publican candidate who will op
pose the successful Democrat for
the respective office is also given
