PRIZES GIVEN BY MERCHANTS

In their efforts to swat the kaiser
the boys and girls of Glenwood have
rendered wonderfully fine service to
the country and one that should and
will be Duplicated next year, judgin &
| from present Indications.
The emergency war gardens this
year have been the pride Of our people
and of the visitors to Glenwood who
have admired the pluck and energy
displayed by the youngsters and the
splendid work they have accomplished.
Last Saturday display of the food
products raised by the young people
was made at the Hotel Glenwood an
mex, and fresh, dried and canned
fruits and vegetables, prepared by the
young folks, were displayed in endless
variety. Especially interesting were
the homemade dryers, the work Of
the boys in the manual training class
in our schools. By the aid of these
much otherwise perishable food pro.
duets were saved to serve the people
of this community the coming winter.
This exhibition was the elimination
of the work begun last spring under
the supervision of j. L. Mickey, prin-
cipal Of the high school and emergency
county club leader, and so well carried
on by the boys and girls throughout

This work was stared by County
Agent Alfred in the spring of 1917

in the spring, growing to membership
of 81 at the close of the season.

of this years campaign, the other
