Morris Evans does not have 1o go to the (ilcn, which is about throe miles away from his house, to have .1 good time in a park. lie has built a Glen Miller park, in miniature, right in his back yard. Miriam Tharp, of Kokomo, a visitor in Richmond, was a partner of Morris's in tho laying out of the grounds and the erection of the cages and buildings and other park apparatus. This Utile park is about five feet square and is attractively laid out in hills, gardens, gravel driveways, and lakes. A mossy arch, supported by wire, is tho main entrance. Flower gardens brighten up the park in many places; a toy automobile goes leisurely over the gravel roadway, a3d underneath the moss-covered tunnel. Two large stands are placed on sites where there is much traveling, In which ice cream and soft drinks may be bought. A small bout floats on the little lake which is a pan of water well concealed with pebbles and stones. There is a large sized bear cage of wire, awaiting an occupant, and a squirrel cage. And since they are children of what we believe to bo the very best country in the world, they have erected a flag pole flying the Stars and Stripes in a conspicuous place. What looks most inviting on one of the grasy slopes of the park, away from the animals and lakes, is a tiny playground for the children, equipped with the apparatus most popular with children-. There is a chute-the-chutcs, a swing, and two teeter-totters real ones that move, and that caterpillars, or something else small enough, could play on.

CAMPFIELD BROTHERS ARE BUSY GARDENERS Four acres of land owned by Mr. E. M. Campfield, 312 North Eleventh street, is the center of interest for threo members of the School Garden Army this summer. Their names are David Campfield, grade 3A, and a captain in the School Garden Army; Richard Campfield, 5B, and first lieutenant, and William Campfield, 7A, 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 people 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 salesmen. Last year they made $10 on their cucumbers. 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 well as watermelon ana canteloupe and popcorn. They had planted popcorn before two years ago and at that time they got a yield of 12 bushels. Doesn't that sound good? Can't you just imagine a cold winter evening and some of the corn that these boys grew, dancing in a popper over the hot fire? Will Sell Gladiolus 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 Belling these flowers. This year their father has 100,000 bulbs, more than he has ever had before, and the boys expect to make one hundred 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 24th of July. Personals Edward Ulrich was ill at his home, 431 South Thirteenth street, several days this week.

Horace Wade. Horace Wade, eleven-year-old Chicago lad who is the author of several successful books for children, was a recent caller at the White House, where this photo was taken. Among young Wade's published works are: "The Heavy Hand of Justice," "In the Shadow of Great Peril," and "Tracking Whiskey Wolves." He Ts now working on a book for "little tots" entitled, "The Land of the Teddy Bears." Evans Boys Buying Their Own 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 bicycle, too. They are doing many otner 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 everything else is doing beautifully. They happened to have a "corner," 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 22 pints of them, and so many wild strawberries that she has canned 13 pints. Now, they are going out after blackberries. A colored preacher had read his text twice at the beginning oh his sermon and some of his congregation were afraid he would read it again when he announced: "Brudders, de reason dat Ah reads my text twice is dat Ah don't expect to refer to it again durin' my sermon."

A VISIT TO SOME OF THE GARDENS OF JUNIOR MEMBERS OF U. S, S, G. A,

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 j 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 a result of the work of Junior gardeners. The usual things grown were to matoes, potatoes, beans, peas, lettuce, radishes, beets, cabbage, corn and other good things like that which have been grown here for years and that all of us like. Sometimes the less usual egg plants were seen as we saw in the gardens of Robert Keith Miller, 8 years old, South West Second street, and Edward Ulrich, 431 South Thirteenth street; and popcorn as we saw in the garden of Estelle Dunn, South Fourteenth and C streets. Some of the most unusual things were seen in a few gardens. Elizabeth Toney, 12 years old, on Sheridan street, has a 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 a captain in the School Garden Army, was raising ground peaches, a bushy plant bearing fruit similar to peaches, which are good in preserves. He is also raisingbutter-, kidney and navy beans. Joe and Ernest de Fredericcy 612 North 12th street, have a gooo: looking garden all bordered with corn. They are raising celery, lovely looking celery, and carrots, and spinach and another kind of greens. Jesse Dionissio is helping with a garden, at 732 North Thirteenth, and among)

Eleanor Daggett has gone to New Paris to visit for several days. Miriam Tharp, of Kokomo, is the guest of Mrs. Wilson on National Road, West, for several days. Robert and William Ilornaday left Sunday with their parents, to spend their vacation at Crooked Lake, Indiana. Florence Douglas, of Dayton, is the guest of her cousin, Oliver Murphy, and his parents, at their home, in Fairview. Miriam, Marguerite and William Burbanck enjoyed an extended automobile trip through various parts of Indiana and Ohio, this week. Suzanne and Mary Patricia Williams, 33 North Tenth street, have gone to Chicago with their mother, where they will visit for several weeks. John and Charles Lontz, of 330 South Sixteenth street, have gone with their parents to Lake George, New York, to spend the remainder of the summer. Alice Genevieve and Robert Hop ton, of Youngstown, Ohio, are in Richmond with their parents, visiting their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Townsend, and their aunt, Miss Elizabeth Townsend, of South Twenty-first street. other more usual things, he is raising parsley, sweet peppers, and gar lic, aiso, a piant cauea semco, which is used a 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 corners of back yards, along the Whitewater river banks, and in vacant lots all over town. Some were cleaner than others and some more closely planted than others, but all of them, by their appearance seemed to say, "We can tell you that Junior gardeners are good gardners!" The names of the other Junior gardeners whose gardens we saw last Monday morning are: Cornelius Shurley, Starr school, age 11 years, 6B grade; Ralph Shurley, 9 years old, 4B grado, Starr school; Marguerite Justis, 10 years old, Starr school; Edwin Sieweke, 13 years old, Vaile school, who made use of old "shinny" sticks to stake up his tomatoes; Oliver Murphy, 13 years, grade CB, Sevastopol; Violet Sanderson, age 11 years, 6 A, Sevastopol; Herbert Eastman, Baxter; Edgar Moris, Baxter; Raymond Yearyean, 6A grade, Baxter; Donald Snyder, Durward Snyder; Rudolph Maule, age 12, 7B grade, Garfield; Roma Mabey, 10 years old, Baxter; and Myron Burr, grade 5B, 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-j cial route laid out. If we have' missed your garden and you have a i nice one, or are growing something! different, we would be glad if you would write to us and tell us about it. I

"Best hike yet!" is the report of the all day hike taken last Saturday by the boys of tho Y. M. C. A. and Boys' Secretary Webb. The route lay along Clear creek for a mile and a half, where the spring is, and where they camped to cook (or burn) their wienera over the campfire they built. After staying round there for an hour, tho hike was taken up again for an hour when tho walkers arrived at a most inviting place called Flat Rock. It 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 hiked Saturday were: Claude Bond, David Marvel, Louis Davis, Wilson Morgan, Richard Shoppard, Curtis Seigel, Cleo Homrighous, Edward Ulrich, George Haywood, Richard Hay, Johnson Ilealey. When this eoes to nress. an all

night hike, beginning Saturday evening, July 24, at 6 o clock, waa being discussed. Fourteen boys have joined the Y. M. C. A. this month to date, Some of these joined just for tha summer term and some have be come year members. Bobby Engle's fourth blrthdaj anniversary was celebrated Monday afternoon, at the Country Club, with a real circus. As soon as the little guests were gathered in th living room of the Country Club, Miss Mary Mather told several delightful stories, ending up with one about a circus. Then the guests were invited to come outdoors In 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 clown's 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 a 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 a bear there, too, a toy bear, but big eiough to ' , 1 i 1 J 9t ii .11 nue uu, aim u gruwieu. iviiur an the children had had a ride on Bruin, refreshments were served. A toy balloon, the kind with a whistle, was given to every child as a favor and the little guests went home in high glee, thinking that was one of the very best circuses they had ever seen. Those present were: Miss Margaret Magaw, Miss Suzanne McGuire, Miss Jane Elmer, Miss Virginia Merrill. Miss Nella Douglas, of Chicago; Miss Suzette Watson, Miss Lisette Campbell, Miss Mary Ann Shirk, Miss Jane Poundstone, Miss Martha McWhinney, Miss Marianna Mann, Miss Frances Carr, Miss Alice Jean Price, Miss Suzanne Williams, Bobby Engle, John Lontz, Charles Lontz, Howard Huen, Donald Huen, Billy McWhinney, James Carr, Billy Bcthard, Stewart Beebe, Billy Shirk, Billy Todd, Stewart Mann, William Campfield and William Hiatt.
