WORK Of BOYS
AND GIRLS CLUBS
Advance Along Lines Other Than the
Farm Which Make for Better
and Higher citizenship.

From time TO time efforts To dis.
credit the work being done by the
members Of the boys corn. cotton. pig
and baby beef clubs have been made
but now comes Master Raymond VII.
liams. a member OF the Denton County
pig club. with evidence which will
convince the most cynical and "sot-
in-his.ways" farmer In Texas as to the
real merit OF this work which Is being
carried on comparatively by the
United States Department Of Agricul.
ture and the A. a NJ. College OF Texas.
Three months ago young Williams
and his father owned two pigs. These
two pigs were litter mates and the
pig which the father gave to the son
weighed forty-one pounds. while the
one the father kept for his cwn weigh
ed thirty.nine pounds ut the age OF
two months. For the past three
months the lad has been feeding his
pig according TO direction given by the
county agricultural demonstration
agent The ration consisted Of grodnd
maize. wheat shorts and butter milk.
together with oats and grass. Recent.
ly the two pigs were weighed. three
months after the boy embarked In the
pig raising business. The boys pig
now weighs s0i pounds. while the
fathers pig tips the scales at eighty.
five pounds.
For the past few years. ever since
this work was started In Texas. In
fact. all Texas has been startled by
the wonderful productions In corn
made by members OF the corn clubs
And while all OF these records we're
sworn to by reliable men OF the com.
munity In which the boy champions
resided. nevertheless there still was
a disposition on the part OF many to
discredit these figures. In those coun.
ties where the boys have shown won.
derful yield the corn production as
whole has been greatly increased.

"A brilliant Recital
The musicale given Tuesday even,
Ing at the elegant home Of Mrs. q. 8.
Parker by Miss Lois Rogers. assisted
BY Mas Anita Park. reader. under the
auspices Of the Altar Guild OF the

artistic successes OF the season and
OF decided interest from both social
and musical standpoints.
This home was veritable bower OF

floral gifts which arrived during the
day evidencing the interest and re.
gard Of many friends.

received In the entrance hall. which
was made additionally attractive with
crystal vases and bowls filed with
roses OF a cream and pink hue that
were tastefully placed in every avail.
able place. while In the dining room
magnificent specimens OF the Paul Ne
Ro roses were banked on buffet.
sIdeboard and mantel. and in the cen.
ter OF a beautiful cluny cloth on the
table was a handsome cut glass vase
OF these lovely blossoms.
Red roses featured In the arrange
ment Of the library. the long-stemmed
blossoms shading from the darkest TO
the palest hues. were clustered In
profusion In receptacles that showed
to advantage.
The beauty Of the music room ad.
joining. with hangings In soft rose
shades. was enhanced by light pink
roses. The effective placing OF vases
and baskets filed with these gorgeous
blossoms further added to the beauty
OF the scene. and the delicate frag.
rance OF the blossoms filed the rooms
with their perfume.
These spacious rooms had been
converted into an ideal recital hall
wherein program Of rare merit was
enjoyed by large and representative
audience.
Miss Rogers. gowned In navy blue
velvet en- train. and wearing an ex.
quisite corsage bouquet OF Paul Ne
Ro roses. was greeted with warm
and hearty applause. She charmed
her hearers with the sweetness and
brilliance OF her playing and the
artistic feeling with which the selec.
tons were given.
The opening number. the b fat
minor scerzo OF Chopin. was excel
lently brilliant and played at an un.
usual tempo.
Her Interpretation OF the numbers
from The walkure" was both intelll
gent and artistic. But Miss Rogers
was at her best in the rendition Of
the List Rhapsody No. 6. and literally
thrilled her audience with the remark
able brilliance Of this splendid finale.
Miss Park is always a welcomed
pleasure to her Bryan friends. The
splendid bit OF Dutch Logic" which
she gave her audience couldn't have
been better interpreted. And. as Is
always the case. one number from
her was not sufficient. She graciously
acknowledged the appreciation Of her
audience with piano logue equally

That Waycross will be turned over

Of the absence of the regular umpire
the game between Dothan and Valdosta
yesterday developed into a disgusting
farce which was called after Valdosta
had scored two runs in the ninth
and Dothan had two men on with one
out When Jordan started to warm
up new pitcher the Dothan umpire
called the game on account of dark
ness, reverting the score to the eighth.
The Valdosta umpire came on the field
and ordered play continued, but the
Dothan team had left the field. Score

WAYCROSS, Ga May 7.-One bad
inning lost Americus the opening game
here to 1. The Moguls took advan:-
age of this one session to pile up
enough runs to win the game. Wild
pitches by Walden were responsible for
three Ct the four runs in this in
ming.
The heavy-hitting Muckalees failed
to qualify and Gardner held them
down to five scattered hits. Manches-
ter and Walden were the hitting stars
for Americus.
Manager Wagnon announced this
morning that Dozier or Blansit would
work today's game and Dickerson to-
morrow. Blansit will probably be sent
in today, as the Muckalees want a win
from Waycross. Antley will probably
work for Waycross.
