If anyone doubts that the children
of Keoliuk have not been taught war
conservation this summer that person
should have attended the war garden
exhibit held on the playground, cor
ner of Twentieth and Main street. as
a part of the play festival Wednesday
afternoon. After seeing the exhibits
he would have been convinced other
wise
Under the auspices of the Civic
league and the board of education
between 800 and 400 war gardens
were planted by the children, who
tended the vegetables carefully
through the season. The lesson was
learned that any child can utilize
even the smallest space in his back
yard for the raising of vegetables.
Several hundred vegetables from
the war gardens were put on display
yesterday This constituted the first
war garden exhibit ever held in keo-
kuk
Perhaps the most striking thing
about the exhibit was the wide
variety of vegetables the children had
raised. On display were satisfy, car
rots, potatoes, parsnips, onions, beets,
rutabagas, squashes, potatoes, toma-
toes, okra, winter radiSheS, held ana
sweet corn, peppers, cabbages, egg
plant, rhubarb, Swiss chard, sugar
beets and pumpkin. In addition there
were popcorn, muskmelons and pea
nuts.
Some Fine Displays.
A number of large black Strasburg
radishes composed one oddity noted.
All the produce came to normal size,
despite the long drouth. and was
arranged in an attractive way.
= There were about forty exhi bits
shown in the canning department.
Some of the canning was done by the
children, some by the mothers. War
garden produce was used In each
case.

E. M. Hughes, government labor
bureau agent working out of the
headquarters in Des Moines of Labor
Administrator Urick, arrived in keo-
kuk this morning and got busy at
once. recruiting labor for an eastern
plant.
He established his office in the
government building, in the room
generally used by the army recruit
ing station, room 81, on the third
floor.
He is seeking carpenters and I'M
skilled labor chiefly, and says his
instructions are to take all he can
get here.
There is no compulsion about it,
he explained to The Gate City this
morning, but his work is to induce
men to go to the eastern work il
possible.
His Relations to Labor Board.
81 don't know what relations l
shall establish with the Keokuk labor
board" he said. but l shall see them
before l leave town. My instructions
are to come here and recruit as many
men as possible--that is, carpenters
and unskilled labor"
He offers a minimum of forty cents
an hour for eight hours and time and
a half for overtime, and expects the
maximum wage to be seventy cents
an hour in few days. The men also
get free transportation to Virginia
and meals en- route.
He said he is recruiting regardless
of whether Lee county has already
furnished men for outside the state
to fill its quota of 1873 men under the
recent call for labor from Iowa, but
said that perhaps the most Of the
men he employed would be floaters
or men now loafing.
The plant to which the men will
be sent is that of the Foundation
company, near Richmond, Va, which
is constructing a munitions plant
there.
