in Membership.

Burlington, Oct 24.-The annual re-
port of E. L. ingalls,, in charge of
boys and girls club work in the ag-
ricultural extension service, for the
year ending June 80 will show ma
terial progress over last year. Up to

IDENTIFY. On June 80, 1915, there were
only rs groups and total of 1883
youngsters at work. The proportions
in and outside OF the groups were
about equal.
Among the recommendations which
Mir. ingalls, will make in his coming
report, to be issued at the end of the
year, will be to create certain new
clubs-an apple and a maple sugar
club. for instance-to meet needs that
have long existed, but have not been
filed. There were eleven of these So
called projects this year, covering the
raising Of corn, potatoes, gardening
and canning. pig-raising, livestock
raising, bread-baking, handicrafts, etc.
Eighty-nine towns, among which
every county in the State was repre-
sented, we're covered
The year has seen the beginning Of
a tendency on the part of towns and
communities to employ club-leaders
of their own. consisting of an adult
living in the particular locality. The
town of Lyndon, for example, has one,
through an understanding with Lyn-
don Institute Pttsford employed a
leader also. the school board and
well-todo individual Of the village
sharing the cost Teachers have been
found to be excellent leaders.
The public schools, oranges, high
school and training classes, boards of
trade and like organizations, women's
clubs and paIent-teachers circles have
worked with the clubs advantageous
". frequently the adult bodies have
helped a good deal toward the start
ing of the clubs The various con
tests with which the clubs have been
busy are now being concluded.

other field workers still busy with
demonstration work in domestic

Germans Must Boil EN- in Their

patch from Copenhagen says:
ANY one discovered peeling pota-

away the peelings will be punished by
three months Imprisonment or a fine
of 1,5O0 marke $3.50, according to an
urgent order issued by the Burgomas-

New York. Oct. 27.-There was
vertiable contagion of cheerfulness in
evidence at Republican national head
quarters yesterday The swing is
with us" hartman Wilcox announced
to the reporters, and from the chair
man to the office boys scurrying
everybody fairly radiated optimism.
The reason for all this was the re-
ports which are beginning to pour in
from the pivotal States, the States
where the campaign is now on in its
fullest intensity. these reports show
ing that there has plainly been a turn
in the tide The labor vote, one of the
chief causes of concern in the last
few weeks, is beginning to come
around, according to these indica-
tions. Also the Republican managers
believe a detection has begun among
other Wilson supporters.

condition very gratifying TO both the

Only seventy-two boys in the Whole

This is forty-two less than were un-
satisfactory at ihc same time last
year. One unusual condition aud one
that is particularly gratifying to the
officials and middies is that out of
membership of 220. not single
youth in the fourth class was unsatis-

Out of the whole regiment. only
three were unsatisfactory in modern
languages, the subject about which
there was such a stir last summer
