The importance OF clubs for seed

not always appeal to those few indi-

life work In great research without
the spur Of competition. II is just

the progress Is gradual and not dis

A large number OF people succeed
In town because they need only few
qualities to fit particular job, their
line OF work Is mapped out for them
so closely that they can hardly ever
fail except they are lazy. and this

ming OF cup or even the appreciation
OF his efforts BY his fellows that gives
the great incentive to either boy or
girl to solve country problems, but
the feeling that he or she Is part OF
body whose collective force Is found
to count for much In their community
and that every year will bring some
improvement In conditions and sur.
roundings which will make country
life fuller and better worth living
than town life under present condi.
tions can be. except for the very few
who can greatly excel the average.
No amount Of preaching will keep am.
bilious boys and girls In a stagnant
community town or country. The way
TO hold them Is to create a live or.
ganization OF which they will become
part, to realize their needs as young
growing people who are going to
make history either In town or coun.

an outworn condition that satisfied a
prior generation.
The fact that combinations Of
money and brains have often been
used for purposes Of oppression, does
not alter the fact that they are ef.

Cooperative work does not necessari.

than corporate work means squeezing
the life blood out Of producer and

come to have somewhat that meaning,

formed for onense and defense; on

good deal depends on the house plan
In the first place. but more depends
on the housekeeper, because one per-
son will make house comfortable
and inviting. while another woman
who works just as hard perhaps has
the faculty OF making things rather
unpleasant. The chairs may be too
nice to sit down in. or there may be
a lot OF bric-a.brac In the way-stun

much more than the plan and manner
OF building the house.
This plan may be carried out at a
cost OF from $4,000 to $500.
