being given, each one full to over
flowing with good, sound practical
suggestions along the different lines of
of home making, especially the cook
ing department. Miss Arthur is
forceful speaker and has her work
thoroughly in hand. She gave valu-
able suggestions to the housewives
about buying meats, vegetables etc.
she said that the Housewives League,
of New York, were working for half
cent piece, but that the Arkansas
women had not yet learned the value
Of penny.
Altogether there were two hundred
women who attended the meetings;
over half of these were from the
country.
Miss Arthur was especially inter-
ested in organizing clubs to use the
course in cooking sent out by the
University. The lessons are free and
any club may have them by writing
to Miss Marcella Arthur, Old State
House, Little Rock. The Fancy
Work Club of Elmwood will use the
the course and will begin their work
at once. This club is doing excellent
work; they have twenty members
and meet every week at the homes
of the members. Mrs. Sylvia Johnson
deserves much credit for their success.
Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Pierce Wat
kins north of town are hoping to or
ganize club in the near future. And
Mrs. Don Williford, of Bellefonte
hopes to be able to start the work in
her community. The ladies from
Capps felt sure that they would start
class at once. So we feel that the
efforts were not in vain; that the
work will grow, and that there will
soon be a dozen places in Boone
county calling for the demonstrator
to "come over and help us"
Mrs. Judson Chairman, chairman of
Home Economics of the Harrison
district, was present at each meeting
and kept the record of those in at
tendance. She also conducted the
reception at Krausa's Saturday after
noon, given by the club women of
Harrison in honor of the women from
the country. At this reception there
were out of town guests, with Mrs.
Daily, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Kirby and
Mrs. Tyson, representing the different
federated clubs, with Mrs. Hathcoat,
Mrs. Terrence and Miss Shelby, lead
ers of the Harrison Home Economics
classes.
1t is said that the affair was a sue
cess and much appreciated by the
visitors. This is move in the right
direction toward closer relation be-
tween town and country.

Miss Arthur for her untiring efforts,
and the able manner in which she had
presented her work.
