At the request Of Mrs. Moorehead,
who had been invited to be present
at this meeting, went out to Mr..

assembled. Promptly the meeting was
called to order. Business was trans

adopted and with much enthusiasm
the club entered into a new year
which trust will prove one of sue
cess for each member.
Mrs. Moorehead gave them short
interesting talk and then introduced
the secretary of the board of trade.
1t was pleasure to look into the
bright intelligent faces of those boys
and girls, and it made my heart glad
to respond and offer words OF en-

to make rural home life more pleas

effort we can hope 10 educate our
boys and girls in agriculture and do
mestic science until our country homes
will be so attractive that no longer

its semblance in the cities.
No more noble work was ever
started than when the Woman's Club
took up this question and put Mrs.

done her work well. The confidence
Of our county people has been wo1l,
they know she is their friend and on
ly building for their future welfare.
