Murrah has donated for the use of the children as a War % Garden, a lot owned by the city, in the triangle where Pinckney and Church streets meet, just a nice lo cation for the purpose intended. Ad4iti?nally Mr. Murrah offers some Ratable manure for the lot which will v jcwre <rf value. This is the second lot donated, the first being by Mrs. J. Frost Walker, Jr., at Douglass Heights. The Chamber of Commerce needs about three more lots in different parts of the city, one or two somewhat centrally located, the other in West End. As soon as these lots are forth-coming the organization of young gardeners will be begun. The Central graded school has already through the Principal, Mr. C. C. Thornton sent in about 125 applications for space in the War Gardens, a proof of interest. It is desired that others having lots to offer should do M at once that the work may be systematically started. As yet no special person has volunteered to raise the tomato and cabbage plants for the War Gardens. No doubt a num ber would do so if asked, but volunteers are more desirable. Seeds for these beds will be donated by the Chamber of Commerce, also and instruction desired as to arrangement of the bed ,etc., and if application for this honor is deferred too long an offer of the sash and material for the necessary frames will also he made. Weight (wait) broke the wagon; let's get together and have the finest collection of War Gardens at Union. Sure we can do it. "C."
