Organize Girls Canning and Poultry
Clubs.

One of the best things for this
county is the organizing of Girls
Canning and Poultry Clubs, now
being done by Miss Lillian
Shackelford, under appointment
from the agricultural depart
ment. Miss Spackelford has
visited and organized the past
week, five Canning and Poultry
Clubs with thirty girl members,
at Smithland, Trinity, Prospect,
Ursery Hill and Kellyville and is
meeting with good success
wherever she goes. The girls
are required to plant one tenth
Of an acre in tomatoes; the gov
eminent furnishes seed and
printed instructions, while the
organizer also gives demonstra-
tons. The girls are expected to
do all work in caring for the
tomatoes, except the heaviest,
and they will can much that
they raise. There will be prizes
offered for the best work and
crop. The Jefferson Wholesale
Grocer Co. have stated that they
will handle the canned tomatoes
from the clubs.
These clubs will be the means
of giving the girls who join much
useful knowledge in tomato cul-
ture, canning and poultry, some
thing needed in this county, and
we hope many girls will join. If
you want to join and did not get
to see the organizer, the girls are
requested to send in theirnames
and age to Miss Lillian Shackel-
ford, Jefferson, Texas, Route
No. 4. Do it now, for the time
will soon be up.

WORK OF THE BEAVERS

The beavers not only cut down
trees for the purpose of making dams.
but also use the smaller upper
branches as storage supply OF food
for winter use. These branches. from
two to four diches In diameter. are
cut into lengths of two or three feet
and then by wonderful engineering
ability, are carried beneath the wa
ter and into the beavers houses. or
the burrows, with which the bank OF
every beavers dam is honeycombed.
There they are carefully stored. The
green bark is the staple article OF
food throughout the winter. The dams
are of varying height and length. &C
cording to the particular location A
dam was found In Mesa county. Col
orado. which was Just six feet from
bottom to top and impounded body
OF water six feet or more in depth and
covering an area of several acres.
This dam was perfect in construction.
1t was composed entirely Of willow
bushes, as no larger timber grows In
the vicinity.

BETTER THAN MANY FRowNs
Right Kind Of Smile Stands Always
for the Best Things There Are
In This Life.

At the door OF a hospital Is the
sign: IF you can't smile don't so In"
There are smiles and smiles. but OF
course this means the smile which
stands for the best things In life, not
the kind that irritates. but the kiad
which cheers and inspires and stimu-
lates and nourishes. Whoever con-
-ceived OF that sign was not far from
being good physician. though he may
have been serving as janitor. Better
than medicine is the smile Of friend
ship to those who are set apart by
their infirmities. And the smile Of
cheer and helpfulness is not only the
passport to the hospital, but to all
the world, II we but knew it. Some
one remarked: who is beyond the
ministry of kindly smile? 1t is a
tonic to the discouraged. 1t helps the
little child for whom the world holds
so much that makes afraid, and 1t
cheers the aged who find life unspeak-
ably lonely. AS King Arthur's court
was built by music, so the happier life
we all hunger for here upon earth, is
built In large part by the cheerful
faces we see, as we bear the load ap-
pointed for us. "-Universalis Leader.

DRAINAGE OF zUYDER ZEE

KEEPING EWES FLEECE DRY
Highly Important That Breeding
Sheep Should Receive Good Shell
ter From Either Rain or Snow.

The protection of breeding ewes
from falling snow is important, es-
pecially is 1t important when It falls
In the form of rain. Winter rains and
also sleet are always cold. If sheep of
the open wooded breed are long ex-
posed to these. they may do them
great harm. The closed wooded breeds,
as the merinos. says Thomas Shaw,
win be harmed much less. as the wa
ter cannot readily enter the wool
which they carry. The shelter pro
vided up to the Landing season may
be Of the simplest kind. providing it
will protect from storms and wind.
The aim should be to give breeding
ewes large liberty In winter. II the
ground is bare. or even partially. for
it will do them good to give them
large liberty. They will make excur-
