Our city is not only improved In appear ance but healthier and more sanitary for this little effort. Another note of encouragement is the iway in which -the men have shown their approval of what is being done, by their ready response to an invita tion to become associate members of the League by the contribution of one dollar a year. Having already offered a prize of $10.00 for the most attrac tive lawn, the League has decided to offer a second .prize of $5.00 for the most improved lawn; realizing how diflicult it will be to judge these lawns as some are naturally more beautiful. while -Ctllers will have had a great deal miore time and labor spent upon them. The children trying for the prettiest flower garden .will also have a second chance in a i;rize of $2.50. These gar (lens should measure at least three by twelve feet. and will be judged the last of June. Free flower seed can be had by applying to Mrs. W. L. Gray, as long as the supply lasts.
