The first prize was from'the Bertha Shellenburger Todd fund. The others were given by the Civic Club. Six Hundred Children Compete Intense interest was taken in the children's contest conducted by the Civic Club. Exactly six hundred chil dren who entered were given packages of seeds. Awards in this class were made by district. First the city was divided Into nine large districts, eacb in charge of a commitee of the Civic Club. After they had made thorough inspections the reports were turned in to the I Civic Club and a committee of three made the final awards. In awarding these prizes the beauti ful results attained were not alone considered: children were given credit for their patient toil against adverse conditions created by the midsummer storms. Miss Buehler Describes Contests In speaking of the prize-winning plots Miss Martha W. Buehler. chair man of the outdoor committee of the I Civic Club, who assisted in making the ; awards, said: "The first prize garden is that most I nififlcult problem, a long, narrow strip. But this one WPS such a mass of glow ing color, with such healthy foliage back of it. that it made a real picture. "The second was an open, corner yard. It was not'ceable that so many of the recommended yards were cor ners. The additional light and air mean so much to gardens in a crowd ed city like Harrlsburg! This garden was given its p!ace for the 'com position' of its picture; the pleasing arrangement of its masses of foliage and color. "The third was what is most un- STOMACH MISERY QUICKLY VANISHES Your money back If you want It is the way in which all the leading drug stores are selling Mi-o-na, the great dyspepsia remedy. This la an unusual plan, but Mi-o-na has so much merit and is so almost in variably successful in relieving all forms of indigestion that the dealers run but little risk in selling under a guarantee of this kind. Do not be miserable or make your friends miserable with your dyspepsia Mi-o-na will help you. If it doesn't, tell your druggist that yon want your money bock and he will cheerfully re fund it. A change for the better will be seen from the first few doses of Mi-o-na and its continued use will soon start you on the road to oerfect digestion and enjoyment of food. Ml-o-na has been so uniformly suc cessful that every box Is sold under a positive guarantee to refund the money if It does not relieve. What fairer proposition could be made? You can get Mi-o-na on this monev back guarantee from practically every druggist in this vicinity. Including H. C. Kennedy.—-Advertisement. MONDAY EVENING, I t.sual in thes-? days—a rose garden, with all the bushes strong and healthy and full of roses in late September. "Only who have tried to grow ; roses can appreciate the loving care and constant work that went to the making and maintaining of that gar den." continued Miss Buehler. "There were so many beautiful yards that the committee advised the giving of two additional third prizes, which the Telegraph kindly consented tc do. The other two gardens, were beautiful in arrangement and showed perfect care; no little work this year, with the damage caused by the August storms. • "But after all, these yards, beautiful as they were, did comparatively little toward 'making Harrlsburg beautiful.' It was the other three classes that made a real difference in the looks of thr town. Porulwss Made Beautiful "Porches included also the narrow strip in front that is all that most Har rlsburgers can call a front yard. The three prize winners not only made the most ot' their space, but showed un usual skill in design. It was here and in the window boxes that the example vas followed. Afler all, most Ameri cans like to follow a better way when they see It. "It is to the window box that the central part of the town must look for its greenness and growing things in the future. Harrisburg houses are 'pinned together too tight,' as the small boy explained when he tried to say why he didn t like Philadelphia. "These three prize boxes are specially good and all show constant care. Though the one that took the second prize has had the damage caused by a wandering automobile jr.ost successfully repaired. "There are the hope of future green ness for Harrlsburg. Already the lesson is working, for our visitors found a whole block decorated, though only one was entered in the contest. The others had followed suit 'because It looked so pretty." "In the nonresidential buildings onlv one—Bethany Chapel— persevered to the end. The others entered were dis couraged and relaxed their efforts. Most Creditable Showing; "But altogether, for the first year. It Is a most creditable showing. Thanks to the generosity and public spirit of the Telegraph, a good manv j parts of the town are brighter, and i n good manv people have had their attention drawn to one of the most fascinating of occupations. There is nothing that makes a more instant appeal to all sorts and conditions of men —and especially women and chil dren—than growing flowers." Suggests General Plan The following letter was sent to-day to the president of the Civic Club by the president of the Telegraph com pany: October 18, 1915. Mrs. William Henderson. 25 Xorth Front street, Harrishurg. Pa.: My Dear Mrs. Henderson—We are glad to have been ahle to co-operate to some extent with the Civic Club during the present season, especially in the planting of flowers and shrub bery about the homes of the city. Harrlsburg has made such splendid progress In every department of human effort during the last few years that it seems comparatively easy now to interest our people in the esthetic as well as the practical. Let me assure you. and through vou the Civic Club, that the Telegraph will continue to support every worthy movement having for its purpose the betterment of living conditions and the improvement of home environ ment. If I may be permitted at this time, I should like to suggest that your or ganization, with the genc-ral co operation of the community, might perfect during the winter an asso ciation or league for the promotion of window and porch box planting. This could be done through a large number of committees, each with its chairman and secretary, and with a given territory allotted to each. For Instance, the territory hounded by Market. Front. State and the west side of Second street might be considered as sufficient territory for the work of one committee, the purpose being to interest all property owners in the placing and planting of porch boxes under some general plan of co operation. Of course, the secretary of each committee would, report to the main committee of the Civic Club hav ing charge of this particular branch of the club's activity. My thought Is that some such move ment would Interest hundreds of people In improving the esthetic fea ture of the city and It would undoubt edly result in making Harrlsburg | unique in this respect. If the arrangement of the territory of such committees appears to be diffi cult. then it would be an easy matter to constitute each election precinct in ! the city the territory to be covered by a subcommittee. Whatever the plan that may be adopted. If the club decides to encour age such a movement, you may be as sured of the hearty sympathy and co- i operation of the Telegraph. With congratulations upon the splen- j did work of your organization through- j out its history and with iny best ! wishes for its future success, ■ Sincerely yours, E. J. STACKPOLE.
