Boys and Girls Clubs In Agriculture
and Home Economics,


At this season of the year boys and
girls are beginning to think of sum-
mer and wish that it were here so
that they could get out of doors. With
the mention OF out of doors we are
reminded that now is the time to or
ganize boys and girls club in agricul-
ture and home economics. A recent
circular Of the extension department
of the Connecticut Agricultural COL
lege says:-
Boys and girls club work in agri-
culture and home economics has for its
aim first, the mental, physical and
moral development of boys and girls;
second, a true appreciation of rural
life and its advantages so that boys
and girls may be encouraged to live in
the country; third, teaching improved
methods of agriculture so that boys
and girls may realize the dignity Of
farming as a business and that it pos
sesses as great possibilities as other
lines of work.
1t is clear that in order to accom-
plish these aims 1t is necessary that
all interests of the community, in
Guiding the schools, the church, other
local societies, the home and individ-
uals must not only be in sympathy
with the movement but must also give
active support in maintaining and di-
rectfng the work. From past expert
ences 1t has been definitely shown that
when local interest has been behind
the work and when local leadership
has been provided, club work has ac-
complished its purpose.
The list Of clubs for 1916 is an fol-
tows:-Corn clubs, for members under
sixteen years Of age, who are required
to raise one-han acre Of flint corn and
for members over sixteen, one acre
Potato clubs, whose members are re-
quired to raise one-eighth acre Of po-
tatoes and select five bushels OF seed

toes.

thorough investigation for yourself
as to what you can buy the cheapest
During the last two months these

GRATING WAX.
How Il Can Be Made at Home and
Give Good Results.

Because people WHO have depended
on wax already prepared and sold on
the market have found II disappoint
Ing and unsatisfactory for grating
trees during the spring, ii is suggested
that those who plan to do grating
this spring make their own grating
wax at home. The common formula
for making this is four pounds resin.
two pounds beeswaX, one pound tai
low. The resin should be pulveriZed.
the beeswax and tallow cut up and
the three boiled together slowly until
the entire mixture is dissolved. The
mixture should then be poured into 4
pail of cold water. After the mass
has hardened sufficiently TO handle
with the hands, when one has creased
the hands, the water should be
squeezed out of the wax; the wax then
should be pulled like taffy or molasses
candy until IL becomes tough and
turns to light color. Il should then
be wrapped in oiled or creased paper
and stored until needed.

A Never Failing Way
to Danish Ugly Hairs
(Aids to Beauty

No woman is immune to superflu-
Gus growths, and because these are
likely to appear at any time, it is ad-
visable to always have some delatone
powder handy to use when the occa-
sion arises. A paste is made with
some of the powder and water and
spread upon the hairy surface; in
about 2 minutes this is carefully re-
moved and the skin washed. You will
then find that your skin is entirely
free from hair or fuzz. Be sure, how
ever, to get real delatone.
