The garden club committee of the

pointed George L. Walker to look after
garden sites and allotments of plots.
An appeal is issued today by the
committee, setting forth the necessity
for action and the advantage 1t will
be, especially to the boys and girls.
Following is the closing paragraph
of the committees appeal:
We want to have every vacant lot
available used in producing food. A
campaign for membership is on and
there is every prospect that a hum
dred or more will join the movement.
Those who have land which they will
not use should offer this land to the
committee in charge OF the Garden
club work. In few days we shall be
ready to assign lots and we must have
more land. The young people should
not be permitted to become discour-
aged in their efforts to serve, because
of the lack of land. AS soon as you
read this, write to G. l.. Walker a de-
scription of land which you are willing
to offer, or information regarding
available land for this work. Prompt
action will be necessary if this cam
paign is to be effective"
