typical example OF working vic

The Joncsboro Victory Garden
club was organized last spring by
n group OF far-sightcd women who
were resolved to contribute some
thing 10 the war effort as well ms to
bolster their own larders. The spirit
of these women was contagious To
the extent that 80 persons became
members OF the club. Mrs. T. Jones
was made president Mrs. O. r.
Graves, secretary. and Mrs c. Holt,
treasurer.
Through the efforts OF j. s. Lea

club obtained permission to use n

families that did not have sufficient
