"The following are the fundamental needs of the farm home:
 Il. Greater variety of foods
 g. Better preparation of foods.
 s. Better facilities for preparing foods.
 A. Better facilities in the entire work of home making.
 "5. More resources for recreation and pleasure
 ''The tenth-acre gardens and poultry clubs supply the first need. The canning demonstrations are introductory to the sec ond. The money profits of the gardening and canning render the third and fourth possible. The social gatherings and club meetings held in connection with the work afford the opportunity for the development of the fifth.
 It Works For Better Home Making.
 "It is our plan to develop the gardening and the cooking work year by year until finally each girl shall be able to produce all the vegetables in their proper season and according to the best methods, and to plan and prepare the dietary in an economic, wholesome and attractive fashion through out the entire year; to so train her in all the duties of home making that she will be able to perform them with consideration for sanitation and economy of Gifae and effort; to furnish her with list and prices of de- sirable household convenences that she may know how best to use the money profit of her work year by year; to train her to use her leisure moments so as to increase the happiness and mental and moral whole someness of herself and associates"
 With the foregoing as the preamble, Miss Holt sets forth the needs of the State and appeals to the legislature to enact a law that will authorize each county to tax itself to raise funds for carrying on the work. Miss Sullivan sold her canned goods to the consumer or retailer, and therefore ! kept all or most of the consumers dollar. The Editor of the Farm and Preside hap pened to be in the tomato-canning business at the same time, and would have been very well satisfied if he could have been able to get considerably less than 10 cents for his three pound cans.
 As matter of fact, the best price he got was 80 cents dozen for one carload sold on the Missouri River. Most canned toma- toes sold for about 75 cents dozen. And as a matter of fact when people in the cit ies were buying them, as they were, three leans for quarter, there was no excesslve profit in them for anyone-least of all for the grower and canner.

GIRLS CANNING CLUB
CANNING-CLUB PROFITS What One Georgia Girl Did in Contest

Mir Charles A. Whittle of the Georgia Agricultural College has been kind enough to send us statement of the yield of the tenth-acre tomato patch of Miss Clyde Sul- livan of Lowndes county, Georgia, who won the championship of the United States in the Girls Canning Club Work.
 It certainly gives the girls and boys of the nation high mark at which to aim. But there is no good reason why any one of them should not equal or even surpass it. Here is MT. Whittle's statement:
 The best record of the Girls Canning Club work of the United States for the year 1913 was made by Miss Sullivan, whose net profit from a tenth-acre patch was $132.99. At this rate she would have netted $1,329.90 from a whole acre. She grew the tomatoes, canned them, and sold them in pursuance of the rules of the Girls Canning Club, as laid down by the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture.
 From the tenth-acre Miss Sullivan gath cred 5,354 pounds of tomatoes. These were put into 2,466 cans and in the making of 60 pounds of catsup. An accurate &C., count of the items of expense, the yield and receipts have been kept and verified by county agents. The table of costs and sales is as follows:

In Line With Modern Progress.


 Marianna, Ark, Nov. 24, 1913. My Dear Doctor
 It gives me pleasure to say that nothing is more in line with modern progress; that nothing could do more for the upbuilding and the prosperity of any people than the work being done by our State Board of Health. The work that you are doing along the line of hookworm investigation in this county is invaluable, and the State Board of Health deserves the thanks of our entire people for the interest manifested in this great work.
 A revolution in manner of living, life giving sanitation, better health, and more happiness, are the blessings that will result from the intelligent work now being done. Anything that ] can do to help on the good work, so long neglected and so happily inaug- nrlated, will be done most cheerfully.
 Very sincerely yours,

THREE FRENCH TOWNS
SAID To HAVE FALLEN

London, Aug. 2S.--A dispatch re-
ceived here from 0stend says the
Germans have occupied Lille, Rou-
baix and Valenciennes, all of France.
Roubaix is five miles from the Bel
gian frontier and Lille and Valencien-
mes ten miles from the line, Rou-
baix is five miles northeast and Va
lenciennes thirty miles southeast of
Lille.
Lille is the most important from a
military point of view. IL has a for
tress of the first class and the circle
of its forts is thirty miles. Recent
dispatches from Paris said that Lille
was held by French reservists. Rou-
baix would appear not to be fortified.
Ii is a manufacturing center Va
lenciennes also is a manufacturing
city and is an important military
point. 1t has an arsenal and exten.
sive barracks.

|SAY GERMANS WERE
TAKEN BY SURPRISE

st. Petersburg, via London, Aug. 2S.
to all accounts the Ger
mans were taken by surprise by the
rapidity of the Russian cavalry move
ments and the dash through the Ma
zur Lake district, where five lines OF
defense were fianked.
After the capture of Gumbinnen
and Insterburg, the line which was
strongest, the Angerburg line was
taken without fighting.
The swift Russian movement, to.
gether with the crossing of the River
Angerapp and the successful battle
northward toward Niedenburg, seals
the fate of the central Notifications.
Fort Boyen Is now surrounded on all
sides and passage through East Prus.
sia Is consequently quite open.

BELCIANS STRIKING
AT GERMAN Lines

Antwerp, Aug. 28.-The Belgian
army is striking at the German lines
of communication, which are very
loosely held.
A large proportion of the Belgian
forces which took refuge in Antwerp
when Brussels was evacuated is now
in the field operating between Malines
and Brussels.
The Belgians are heavily supported
with artillery and already 1t is be.
lieved they are succeeding in drawing
some of the weight off the attack on
the French frontier.
II is not the intention of the gen.
eral staff to hazard its forces in a
general assault. The Belgian army
may yet be needed to defend Ant
werp.
But the field forces are raiding the
German lines, destroying the rail
ways wherever possible and cutting
communication generally.

the four-day battle along the fifty
mile front at the Drina, In which the
Austrian army of invasion was de-
feated by the Servians, the victorious
Servians are now driving the enemy
toward Loznitza.
Every effort Is being made by the
Servian commander to cut off the
Austrian retreat and to annihilate the
Austrian army. In addition the Servi-
ans have taken fifty cannon and large
quantities of stores. II is admitted
that the Servian losses have been
enormous, because of the necessity of
carrying the Austrian positions by
storm.
