4 VISIT TO some OF the GARDENS OF
JUNIOR MEMBERS OF U. s. s. G. 4.

A'ride around the city this week
stopping at many places along the
line, showed your editor some
splendid gardens being grown by
the soldiers of the United States
School Garden Army. The visits
were just happen so" and probably
she missed many other good ones,
but she got an idea of how many
good things were being eaten now
and were being put in the cellar
to be eaten this winter as result
of the work of Junior gardeners.
The usual things grown were to-
matoes, potatoes, beans. peas, let
tuce, radishes, beets, cabbage, corn
and other good things like that
which have been grown here for
years and that all of us like. Some
times the less usual egg plants
were seen as we saw in the gardens
of Robert Keith Miller, s years old,
South West Second street, and Ed
ward Ulrich, 431 South Thirteenth
street; and popcorn as we saw in
the garden of Estelle Dunn, South
Fourteenth and G. streets.
Some of the most unusual things
were seen in a few gardens. Eliz-
abeth Toney, IL years old, on Sher-
idan street, has row of peanut
plants, healthy looking ones, too, in
in her garden which was about 20
feet wide and 60 feet long. Her
brother Ross, who is 10 years old,
and captain in the School Garden
Army, was raising ground peaches,
a bushy plant bearing fruit similar
to peaches, which are good in pre-
serves. He is also raising butter,
kidney and navy beans. Joe and
Ernest de FREDERICK, 612 North 18th
street, have good looking garden
all bordered with corn. They are
celery, lovely looking eel
cry, and carrots, and spinach and
another kind of green's. Jesse Do
uissio is helping with a garden, at

other more usual things, he is rails
ing parsley, sweet peppers, and gar
lie. Also, a plant called senico,
which is used great deal in soups,
in Italy. In Jesse's garden were
the highest tomato plants we saw
on our little trip.
Gardens are Seen Everywhere
We saw gardens in bits of cor
ners of back yards, along the
Whitewater river banks, and in va
cant lots all over town. Some were
cleaner than others and some
more closely planted than Others,
but all Of them, by their appear
ance seemed to say, I'VE can tell
you that Junior gardeners are good
gardeners!
The names of the other Junior
gardeners whose gardens we saw
last Monday morning are: Cornell
Jus Shurley, Starr school, age II
years, 6B grade; Ralph Shurley,
8 years old, 4B grade, Starr school;
Marguerite Justis, 10 years old,
Starr school; Edwin Sieweke, 10

Rudolph Maule, age II, 7B grade.
Garfield; Roma Mabey, 10 years old,
Baxter; and Myron Burr, grade SD,
South West Third street.
AS we said at the beginning, this
trip was just a sort of go as the
wind blew trip. We had no spe-
cial route laid out. If we have
missed your garden and you have a
nice one, or are growing something
different, we would be glad if you
would write to us and tell US about
it.

CAMPF!ELD Brothers
ARE BUSY GARDENERS

Four acres of land owned by Mr.. E.
M. Campfield, 312 North Eleventh
street, is the center of interest for
three members of the School Gar
den Army this summer. Their
names are David Campfield, grade
ga, and a captain in the School
Garden Army; Richard Campfield.
5B, and first lieutenant, and Will
lam Campfield, IA, also captain in
the School Garden Army.
Each of these boys has a row of
beans, a long, long, row, and j.
Ronald Ross has one, too. A prize
has been offered by one of the peo-
pie most interested in the boys
work, for the best row of beans.
The boys are planning to sell
their beans. From all reports, we
judge they are good statesmen. Last
year they made $40 on their GU
cumbers.
Besides beans and corn and many
other things that are usually
raised, they have helped with the
planting of four long rows of pea
nuts, as we'll as watermelon and
canteloupe and popcorn. They had
planted popcorn before-two years
ago-and at that time they got a
yield of IL bushels. Doesn't that
sound good? Can't you just mag
inc a cold winter evening and
some of the corn that these boys
grew, dancing in pepper over the
hot fire?
Will Sell GIadiolus Bulbs, Too.
These boys are interested in the
growing of beautiful flowers called
gladioli, of which their father
raised many last year. The boys
have the blossoms to sell and their
father keeps the bulbs. Last year
these three boys made fifty dollars
selling these flowers. This year
their father has 100000 bulbs, more
than he has ever had before, and
the boys expect to make one hun
dred dollars. This money is put in
the bank to be used to help them
in their college education.
They expected to make the first
delivery of these flowers, Saturday
morning, the oath of July.

day by the boys of the Y. NJ. C. A.
and Boys Secretary Webb.
The route lay along Clear creek
for a mile and half, where the
spring is, and where they camped
to cook Tor burn) their wicners
over the campfire they built. After
staying round there for an hour,
the hike was taken up again for an
hour when the walkers arrived at a
most inviting place called Flat
Rock. 1t was far too inviting a
place to pass, so Immediately they
all went swimming. This gave the
boys pep" for the return hike to
the Y, where they all sought the
pool and went swimming again.
Among the number who liked
Saturday were: Claude Bond,
David Marvel, Louis Davis, Wilson
Morgan, Richard Sheppard, Curtis
Seigel, Cleo Homrighous, Edward

HAVE YOU A LITTLE
Glen IN YOUR YARD?

Morris Evans does not have to go
to the Glen, which is about three
miles away from his house, to have
a good time in park. He has
built a Glen Miller park, in minia-
ture, right in his back yard. Mir
lam Tharp, of kokomo, visitor in
Richmond, was a partner OF Nor
ris's in the laying out of the
grounds and the erection of the
cages and buildings and other
park apparatus.
This little park is about five feet
square and is attractively laid out
in hills, gardens, gravel driVeWays,
and lakes. A messy arch, sup
ported by wire, is the main en-
trance. Flower gardens brighten
up the park in many places; toy
automobile goes leisurely over the
gravel roadway, and underneath
the moss-covered tunnel. Two large
stands are placed on sites where
there is much travelling, in which

bought. A small boat floats on the
little lake which is a pan of water
we'll concealed with pebbles and
stones There is large sized bear
cage Of wire, awaiting an occupant,
and a squirrel cage. And since they
are children Of what we believe to
be the very best country in the
world, they have erected flag pole
flying the Stars and Stripes in a
conspicuous place.
What looks most inviting on one
of the grassy slopes of the park,
away from the animals and lakes
is a tiny playground for the child
rem, equipped with the apparatus
most popular with children. There
is a chute-the- chutes, a swing, and
two teeter-totters- Ones-that
move, and that caterpillars, or
something else small enough, could
play on.

Evans Boys Buying
Their DUN Bicycles

Tracy Evans, who lives on South.
west Seventh street, has two paper
routes, and with the money he
earns from his routes, he is buying
his bicycle. His brother, John, has
a paper route, and is buying a BIZ
cycle, too. They are doing many
other things, too, this summer.
John and Tracy and their youngest
brother, Morris, are all captains in
the School Garden Army, in Joseph
Moore and Baxter, and have a very
good looking garden, about forty
feet square.
In this they are raising tomatoes,
potatoes, cucumbers, corn, peas,
beans, cabbage and lettuce. They
had hard luck with their radishes,
for they did not come up, but every
thing else is doing beautifully.
They happened to have a "cor-
ner," as the Big Business men say,
at least, they happened to know
where some dandy wild berry
patches were. So, as the different
kinds of berries get ripe, they start
out early in the mornings with
buckets in the direction of these
hidden berry patches. They have
picked so many wild raspberries,
black and white, that their mother
has put up % pints of them, and SO
many wild strawberries that she
has canned 10 pints. Now, they are
going out after blackberries.

Society

Bobby Engle's fourth birthday
anniversary was celebrated Mon
day afternoon, at the Country Club,
with real circus. AS soon as the
little guests were gathered in the
living room of the Country Club.
Miss Mary Mather told several de-
lightful stories, ending up with one
about circus. Then the guests
were invited to come outdoors tn
front of the club house and see the
fairy ponies. Two clowns, William
Campfield and William Hiatt, had
charge of the ponies and were the
ring leaders during the afternoon.
After every child had had a ride
either on the ponies backs or in
the pony cart, the guests were
asked to come inside again. After
each one had received a clowns
cap of tissue paper, they went into
a long room where a table was set
that made the children not really
know whether they were in the
Country Club or at real circus
for, all over the table, were camels,
and donkeys and elephants, and
clowns all toys, of course, and
many other animals that are in a
circus. There was bear there, too,
a toy bear,-but big enough to
ride on, and it growled. After all
the children had had a ride on
Bruin, refreshments were served.
A toy balloon, the kind with whis-
tie, was given to every child as a
favor and the little guests went
home in high glee, thinking that
was ono of the very best circuses
they had ever seen.
Those present were: Miss Mar
garet Magaw, Miss Suzanne Nc

1t is one of the best nOnconductors
Of electricity and is, therefore. ifdis.
pensable in electrical engineering. On
this account the British government
