The first prize was from'the Bertha

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.

houses. She has watched the town's
growth and can tell many incidents in

Hoover, like her brother, has been
very much Interested in the coming |
celebration.

I® The most stupendous phys- ft]
jf ical achievement in all hu- y
Nman history is complete.
The dream of four centuries is realized by t«
™ a nation which was not even conceived until
nearly 300 years after Balboa first stood on the
|| summit of the Cordilleras and fell under the
M| spell of the smiling Southern sea.
When the project to cut the isthmus was H
M first broached Columbus himself was still alive, P®
H and unaware that the land to which the trade |§
|# winds had blown his crude galleons was a new jg
continent.
Jq From even the day of Columbus men have ™
|J wanted to break the great barrier. For four |i
centuries the idea has waxed and waned, but
R it has never died. iJ
|f Gold and love and blood have haunted the ™
|| very air of Panama. Pirates hovered about it
2 and sacked its towns. It was held successively
" by Spain and England and France and Spain
[§ • again, until it finally fell into unstable inde
yj pendence. $
And all the while men have wanted to cut |g
™ this canal—a task mightier than any that had .<
|| ever been performed before; a task that seem-
Ned to be a work for titans, not for mere mortals. )fl
The brilliant Frenchman, de Lesseps, fresh uj
™ from his success at Suez, tried it and made a
jfl grizzly failure.
i| For years the stagnant waters in the jungle )f|
were a grim and festering warning to man not fcjj
II to match his puny strength against the seem-
ingly unconquerable forces of nature.
U And then the Americans put the job J
y through. If
No romance ever written has more ele- |(
J] ments of fascination than the story of their
2 masterful accomplishment.
JN The slicing of a mountain, the creation of r»
|| a vast inland sea, the taming of a wild, tor- |{
rential river, the building of titanic locks to lift |l
N ocean liners over mountain tops—it is a fairy y
tale come true. ®l
The authoritative account of this mighty §|
|( undertaking, as well as the story of the entire |J
§| work of the federal government, is told in "The
Oj Panama Canal" and "The American Govern- »»
ment," by Frederic J. Haskin, The Books that M
J Show Uncle Sam at Work. |i
jN In order to promote better citizenship, this U|
jty newspaper offers to its readers, at cost price, W
|| both of these great patriotic books. if
g| They should be read and preserved in ev- i|
l| ery household in the land.
