Mr. Fred Montgomery, President,

Kiwanis Club, |
Lawrence, Kansas.
Dear Fred: ;
I am informing you, sir, that Lawrence Rotary Club
accepted the defy of Kiwanis to a titanic str in

victory gardening. My captain, sir, is Gerald Hesse, and
my coach is George Hedrick. You name you representatives
and we will meet at a designated spot to draw up rules and
the period of time over which this contest will ensue.

We are going in for blood - red turnips, corn on the
cob and not in the bottle, and every type of vitamin prod-
ucing vegetable that will aid Uncle Sam. Lettuce make this
contest one that the squareheads, the slit-eyes and the
spaghetti-benders who are still opposing us, long remember.

And also let Kiwanians remember that when they challenge
Rotarians they exposed themselves to the power of one of the
seven wondera of the world - the Rotary Wheel.

Come on, you kake-walking Kiwanians! Yours for a battle
of food! :

Rotarily yours,

FCA :AH President.

PS. Yes, and you young Kiwanis sprites, these old crandfathers
that you speak about challenge you to a game of golf and we will
see who is old when this golf match is finished:
