THE BOYS C0KN CLUB.
ITS OBJECT.

To place before the boy, the fani-
Iv, and TIE community in general an
example Of cr,p production under
modern methods To prove to tbs
boy, his father, and the community
that there is more in the soil thar
the farmer has ever gotten out of IL;
to inspire the boy with the love Of
the land by showing hna no = he can
get wealth out OF it y tilling it in a
better way and keeping an expense
account of Ills undertaking. To give
the boys definite, verify purposes 1t
an imp,rtlnt period in their lives and
to stimulate aud a friendly rivalry
among them.
The rivalry is produced to great
extent through the little prizes that
are ffered for best results. Last
year the Corn Club Work was start
ed in Charles county, and we are
very proud Of the fact that one Of
her boys led the State IN yield, Two
or tn 90 others followed very closely
his lead. All the boys in the Club
did wonderfully well for the first at
tempt. We expect better results this
year. Boys are entering into the
work with azaal which seems to SUI
pass that of older farmers. In spite
of the fact that il So med to have
been well advertised last year, boys
are still asking about the Clubs
What it is and how to,ioin Here are
some of the Rules. Boys entering
She contest must be between ten and
eighteen years Of age. Younger or
older boys may join but cannot com
pete for the prizes. No boy can COM
pe;e for prize unless he bee ,mes
member of the Club and agrees to
submit his reports. Members OF tie
Club must follow instructions Of the
Farmers Demonstration Work. Each
boy Innst p.ant bis own crop and do
as much .. his own work as he can;
il he is sluail boy, he may hire help
for heavy blowing in the preparation

and unfit will be sterllized, and only the
fit will be permitted to populate the
world. Mothers will be taught the great
law OF parental influence, and, as Mary
Dale has said:
Children will be taught the elements
of heredity first through the forms of the
plant world they will learn in this man
ner It's principles" The products of the
plant world. with their grace and beauty,
malformations or weaknesses, will be fit
subjects TO demonstrate the forms of
heredity. They will prove splendid ways
and means TO teach children something
OF parenthood, the right or wrong choice,
and, the effect OF either, upon the de-
scendants.
This SYSTEM OF teaching will be in wise
hands, Every effort Will be made to
render no blunt personal illusions; step
by step will the eugenic education con-
tinue, until the mind of the child has
been made sufficiently strong and intelli-
gent to understand what heredity means
TO the human family. The work of eu-
genie teachers will certainly be OF an in
teresting character.
These teachings will lead to the pro-
founder education to be taught that the
position for every boy TO strive for, no
matter whether he accepts 1t or not, is
for worthy and honorable fatherhood; for
girls, splendid and motherly motherhood.
All other lines of education Will keep
step with this end in view. Thus VIII be
demonstrated that righteousness exalteth
a nation not only In the spiritual but
also Ia the most concrete sense.
To prove the reason why proper mat
ing and real marriage constitute some
thing more than love and initiative:
Granted that love be the noblest and
must be supported by a sound mind in
sound body to be eugenieal in its. con-
ception OF lettering the human race.
Real love is never a question of the
senses. since the soul is its chief admin
istrator The spirituality of a marriage
is in seeking TO, make the issues of the
marriage as perfect as possible. The
fidelity Of pure love is the keystone In
the arch OF It's making.
Woman is Natures supreme instru-
ment OF the future" When men recog-
niEe this generally there will be diff
ferent attitude shown toward the respon-
sibilities of parenthood.
The foundation OF domestic happiness
is faith in the virtue OF woman. The
foundation OF political happiness IL IN the
integrity of man. The foundation OF all
happiness, temporal and eternal, is faith
in the goodness. the righteousness, the
mercy and the love OF God.

Girls, most men feel exactly that way

Your clothes ought to look as II they

Advice to Lovelorn
Not Fair 90 Herself.
BY BHATRICE FA1RFAI

Dear Miss Fairfax: Would you kindly
state whether II Is fair OF young lady
q years of age To accept serious atten-
tons from young man Of 20 years.
Although the young man would not
marry until he is rs years old. don't you
think the young lady would then be too
old for him, though she does not show
her age now?
Would II be wrong TO accept his ntten-
tons. as a friend mot being sure whether
she could be more TO him after five
years. when she knows he loves her.
q. l..
Even though the boy Of 20 years loves a
girl five years his senior. the man he will
grow TO be In five years may not feel
affection for the same girl So n she
permits herself TO grow dependent upon
his love she may be laying up real unhap-
piness for herself
