Good Roads congress today by Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General P. ". De-
graw.
Mr.. DeGraw is the active head of the
rural free delivery system. whose car
riers travel 4O0COO.OOo miles over county

There is a movement in the convention
to ask the postoffice department TO sper
some of its appropriation for rural free
delivery on the Improvement of post
roads. but officials of the department
think this impossible.
Senator Cullom's bnl calling for the
construction of sever national highways

and Miami, probably will receive the
unanimous Endorsement of the Good
Roads convention.

CANNING CLUBS
PLANNED FOR GIRLS

THoMAsvILE. Ca. Nov. 2l.-AIiss
Mary E. Creswell, of the Georgia Agri-
cultural college at Athens. spent sever
al days In Thomasville last week in
the interest Of the movement for the
establishment OF canning clubs among
the girls in the rural districts of Ceoa
gia During the fair last week Miss
Creswell made an address TO the girls,
and tremendous interest and enthust-
asm seemed to be manifested on the
part of the girls in her work. Miss
Creswen says that these cluos have al
ready been organized by her in fve
counties in the state, and ,hat because
OF the interest being manchester in the
organization of them she IS confident
of organizing them in every county IN
the state within a very short time
She says that the plan is TO give
each girl belonging to the club one
tenth OF an acre to cultivate in growing
tomatoes and other vegetables TO be
used in canning. and her idea is that
this canning will be done not only fol
the purpose of home consumption. but
also for the markets. thus making the
work profitable as well as Instructive
for the members of the clubs. Misc
CresweII says that the results of the
werk already done by these cann;ns
lclubs has been tremendously satisfac-
tory, one girl making this season one
thousand pounds Of tomatoes from her
tenth OF an acre. She cited other In.
stances where members Of the club hao
not only canned sufficient vegetables
of all kinds 20 supply the hsme de-
Imands. but to sell great quantities ia
the markets.
In giving the giris in the country dis
tricts something TO interest nom QUE
side of the regular routine OF home du-
tiles. Miss Creswell thinks the organi
zation OF these canning clubs is do'ns
a great and splendid work and takes
the same place as the corn ,lubs do
with the boys.
