Gardens Sought to Use Idle Plots for Unemployed
A Washington committee on unemployment seeks unused garden plots for the coming season. Families in need could farm these tracts to support themselves, with the Journal office to report available land. Unpaid wood purchase accounts remain, and buyers are asked to settle at once at the Washington National Bank. Donations include 5.00 from Miss Edna Purvis and 1.00 from H. J. Williams, who also gives 10 percent of lawn mower repair profits to relief.
