HOT LUNCHES FOR PUPILS
Women of LeaVenworth County Will
Serve Warm Food to Children
at Rural Schools.

Three years ago there was orga
nized in the southern part of LeaYen-
worth county the GIenwood Mother
Daughter Canning Club, said to be the
first organization of its kind in the
world. A few days ago that same
club, which now has prototypes in
nearly every county in the state, ar
ranged to put into effect another new
community service idea Complete
plans have been formulated for sup
plying free hot lunches to the pupils
of five rural schools this winter.
Cooking stoves are installed in the
Glenwood, Elmgrove, Dafer, Jewett
and Loring schools, all in the south
ern part Of the county, and the Moth
er-Daughter Canning Club in each dis
trict has plans completed for prepar-
ing and serving warm lunches to the,
pupils two or three times a week The
plan Of serving school children with
warm meals has been carried out on
a large scale in many of the leading
cities of the East, but Is new for
rural schools.
The method which will be pursued
by the canning clubs makes it the
duty of two members to go to the
SCHOOLS a certain day in the week and
prepare soup or some other warm,
nourishing dish. They will furnish
the materials themselves. Different
women will do the work each time
until all the club members have taken
their turn, when the round will start
again.
