Prof. Jernigan Outlines Plan
 for State Boys and Girls Meeting

Owing to the fact that the Hot Springs State Fair vii not be held this year, and realizing from exper- fence and observation the very great importance of an annual state con test for the boys and girls clubs at which may be assembled the exhibits of the products raised by the members and at which time there may also be assembled the prize winners from the several counties in this state for a few days outing and entertainment, the following plan is suggested:
 It is the purpose of this plan to establish an annual state contest for the boys and girls at some central place in the state, and it is believed that Little Rock is the logical place. The time of holding this contest is not a matter of so great importance, but it is suggested that it might be held in connection with the Pulaski County Fair.
 The question of expense is possi- bly the greatest matter of considera- 
 of expense mentioned will be that of prize fund which should be not less than $1.00O in cash, or to be ex- act, the amount that is wanted thls year is $1,O49. This fund ould go as prizes for the best exhibit of products from the five agricultural clubs ope- rating in this state; namely, corn clubs, canning clubs, pig clubs, poultry clubs and peanut clubs. The amount going to each club to be determined by the number of members in that club, and the manner of distributing the prizes would be the same as mas been practiced heretofore, which is in the form of team prizes and individual prizes. It is desired that the raising of this fund be handled through some local commercial organization in Lit tie Rock, for instance the Chamber of Commerce.
 It might be suggested that the Chamber of Commerce, or whatever local organization handles it, solicit subscriptions for this fund from other commercial organizations and asso- citations over the state, or even indi- vidual subscriptions from local banks throughout the state. The Cotton Seed Crushers' Association appro- priated S250 in cash to the cotton club members.
 All money subscribed from any and all sources should be sent to the Lit tie Rock Chamber of Commerce, the secretary of which might be selected as treasurer of the local committee which should be appointed to handle this matter. Competent men from the College of Agriculture will be se- lected by the agent in charge of the club work, and representatives of the local committee to judge all exhibits.
 The second item of expense will be the transportation of the exhibits to and from the home of the members of

the clubs, and it is planned that this matter will be taken up with the rail- roads and express companies by agent in charge of club work with the in fiuence and cooperation Of others. If the railroads or express companies should refuse to handle this end of the expense the counties from which the exhibits come would have to take care of that.
 The third item of expense would be the transportation of exhibits from railroad station to exhibit hall, and 1t is planned that the Pulaski County Fair Association bear that expense. The fourth item of expense is the hall in which to exhibit these prod ucts, and it is also planned that this expense shall be borne by the Pulas- Xii County Fair Association, for 1t is believed that such an exhibit as this will be coming from prize winning boys and girls over the state, to- gether with the prize winners them selves, will be a big drawing card for the Pulaski County Fair.
 The fifth item of expense is the transportation of the prize winning boys and girls who are entitled to at tend this contest and it is planned that this matter will be taken up by the agent in charge of the club work as has been done heretofore; but in case the railroads could not grant this free transportation (yet they have always done this) that expense will be borne by the county from which the boys and girls come. It is planned to bring 200 boys and girls, more or less, to this contest. This brings up the next item of expense which is the entertainment of these boys and girls while in the city.
 It is planned that the people of Lit tie Rock make these boys and girls their guests during their stay while here, which will be about three days. This is done in other cities and other states on much larger scale than is planned here. 1t is believed that nothing better can be done by the peo- ple of Little Rock than by taking these 200 country boys into their homes as guests. Committees on er.- tertainment should, of course, be an- nointed to handle this matter, and it is suggested that the Women's Feda- ration of Clubs should be earnestly solicited to cooperate especially in caring for the girls There would possibly be 150 boys and 50 or 60 girls, and that means there Will be just that many homes in Arkansas represented here,
 As an idea of the scope of work that is being done by the boys and girls clubs in this state, and hence the source from which the exhibit would come, it is stated that there are about 5000 members in the different clubs, and from this army of young boys and girls it is believed that an

FAIR EXHIBITORS GET MONEY ORDERS BY SHOWING

Some may think that County Fair advertising does not amount to much and they would be loser to pay for a booth and make display
 Now let's figure on that little and see if they can get the same results from any other class of advertising at the same cost.

How Yeast Makes Bread Rise.

:, In the dough from which bread Is
made there is a lot of sugar. which
contains carbon. hydrogen and oxygen.
1t is necessary to ferment this sugar to
make bread edible. and yeast is used
because II has the power TO do this. 1t
is made from plant having this quail
fty. Fermenting sugar Is equivalent to
burning it. and there are two results.
One is the formation Of carbOnic acid
gas. A great deal of this gas is caught
in the dough in the form OF large or
small bubbles. and some Of II escapes
into the air. The part that cannot es-
cape causes the dough to rise and
makes the bread light. The holes In
bread are the little pockets which held
the carbonic acid gas. The effect OF
the bubbles is TO lift the body OF dough
so that the heat can penetrate readily
and bake 1t properly.
