T0BOYS COMPETE 'FORCROP HONORS Rivalry Among Civitan Gar- deners Grows Apace in River Flats. Youthful energy is being traded for tasty vegetables these days out- on the Anacostia River flats, where 70 boys are competing for horticultural honors and e]flm offered by the Civitan Club of rashington. The youngsters comprise the Civitan Boys’ Garden Club and each has his own plot of ground dedicated to the production of truck by the sweat of his own brow. Best of all, each boy may take home his respective crop. The use of the ground, owned by the Federal Government, was obtained for the| Civitan-sponsored farmers by W. R. Beattle, horticulturalist of the Amcul-t ture Department, while the candidates for garden honors are selected by the Juvenile Protective Association. Garden tools and implements are provided for the boys by a Civitan Club committee, of which Clarence L. Hard- ing is chairman. ~ _ The rivalry between the rrdenem is keen, and when a fellow’s plot produces 8 cabbage that surpasses those of his competitors he has the time of his life shielding the secret of his methods from a too anxious world. The boys conduct the garden each year under the sponsorship of the Civitan Club, and if the idea of youngsters working volun- tarily during the Summer vacation fosters doubt in your mind, then accept the boys’ invitation and visit their river-bank farms. Last 3 Survivors Of Civil War Club Gather at Banquet ‘Aged Veterans Meet to Honor Departed Comrades. By the Associated Press. ST. PAUL, July 20.—Gathering for ‘what may prove to be their last meet- ing, three old warriors of another day met across the banquet board today for the annual reunion of the famous last man’s club, organized after the close of th Civil War.

Hall, 91, Atwater, Minn,, and Charles Lockwood, 86, of Chamberlain, S. Dak. Meeting with the three aged survivors of Company “B,” 1st Minnesota Vol- unteers, were two other survivors of the regiment, making it a reunion of the first as well as of the last man’s club. Last 3 Survivors. ‘The 43-year old bottle of wine which has stood on the table every year at the Last Man's Club meeting, was brought. from its vault in Stillwater, and placed at the head of the board. The club gets its name from the provision that its last member drink a toast from the bottle to his departed comrades. When the last man has passed on, the bottle will become the property of the Still- ‘water Library. Meetings of the Last Man's Club usually have been held on July. 21, the anniversary of the first Battle of Bull Run which was fought 68 years ago to- morrow. But when members of the 1st Minnesota decided to hold their reunion today, members of the Last Man's Club agreed to make it » joint affair. l - NO CALL FOR FARM RELIEF FROM THIS SECTOR l Members of the Civitah Boys' Garden Club at work in their “fields” on the Anacostia flats.
