ROAST PIC and
EVERYTHING At
K|WAN|S FEED
One Of Best Meetings Held BY Ale.
do Organization Last Night
ut Masonic Hall.

~Urban Acres Orion" the Duroc
Jersey pig who gave up her life
that the Kiwanians might be prop
erly fed. was heartily appreciated
by every member of the Aledo XII
wants club and every guest who
attended last nights meeting at the
Masonic hall in Aledo. The feed,
which was voted by all to be the
best yet" was served by the la
dies of the Eastern Star lodge. The
roast pig which crowned the feast
was the gift Of ike" Gillmor, a
member Of the Kiwanis club.
Members Of the AledO high school
basketball team and their coach,
D. N. Roberts, and Joseph Gabler,
deputy internal tax collector of
Rock Island, were among the
guests of the club last night.
Following the feed, the attendance
committee sprung its plan of en-
couraging better attendance at the
meetings. Hereafter at each meet
ing numbers will be drawn and
three men will receive lucky num-
bers."
One will receive a prize of value,
one will be called upon to furnish
a stunt" and one will receive the
booby" prize. At last nights meet
ing Bunny" Farr presented the
prizes, thus performing the stunt"
OF the evening. Ray" C. Pellet
was the lucky member to hold the
number drawing the first prize,
which was a new hat. Rev. Jim
Pollock drew the booty" prize, a
Manhattan shirt, which, although
useful, proved to be several sizes
too small for him. At the next
meeting A. X. Philleo will give the
stunt.
Two-minute talks were given by
each member present, telling OF
some plan they felt would help
make Aledo better community
These talks brought out many in
teresting plans and ideas. At last
nights meeting it was also decided
that hereafter the members of the
club would be known by their
"nicknameS." As the secretary
called the roll each man was given
the privilege Of selecting the name
by which he wished to be known
by his brothers. Those who had no
nom de plume" were Immediately
christened. A contest will be con-
Quoted by the attendance commit
tee in an effort to get every Ki-
wanian to attend each meeting.
"Yells" for the basketball boys
given by Kiwanians, wells" for
Kiwanians given by the basketball
boys, and ~yells" for various mem
bers Of the club made the meeting
sound more like q bunch of youths
Of the peppiest variety than suppos-
eddy sedate business men. One Of
the clever features of the program
was the poem, printed on attractive
folders, written by Urban Acres
Orion, entitled Her Last Word"
and written just before she died.

GARDENING PLOTS
OF CITY WILL BE
GIVEN OUT SOON

Census Of available gardening
plots in Moline is almost complet-
ed, and within the next month men
who believe in the grow-your-own
movement will be using their
spades to wage the never ending
war against the high cost OF fresh
vegetables.
L. A. Mahoney, superintendent Of
schools, under whose supervision
the gardening space is being secur-
ed and partitioned, reports several
good sized tracts already listed.
and that he has other places that
may be regarded as possible sites
for cultivation purposes.
The tract Of ground on Sixteenth
street and Twenty-seventh avenue
owned by W. H. Christison and
formerly used by Klemm's nursery.
has been turned over to community
gardening purposes for three years.
The land between Eighth and Ninth
streets south Of Thirteenth avenue,
which belongs to the city, several
lots in Velie addition, south Of
Twenty-first avenue between Elev-
enth and Twelfth streets, and a
space east of Browning field have
also been secured for gardens.
Mr.. Mahoney asks that all per-
sons who have vacant lots which
they would like to see turned into
gardens communicate with him
sometime this week. Land in the
eastern section of the city is par
ticularly needed, as many prospec-
tive truck growers reside in that
portion Of the city.
Most of the tracts which are now
listed were plowed last fall in an.
ticipation Of gardening this spring.
Disking and narrowing will put
these plots in shape for the indi-
vidual workers.
Appointment Of space will be
made March "a, and therefore ap-
plication for gardens should be
made as soon as possible. In case
persons wishing to secure space
who have children in school, appli-
cations may be made through the
school teachers. So far as it is
possible, those wishing the same
space that they had last year will
be Accommodated. but no space will
be reserved without application.
Persons contemplating planting
gardens this year should telephone
their names and addresses to the
board Of education, Moline 80, be-
tween 8 and s.
