At the coming institute you will
learn how to test seed corn and milk;
how to kill insects; what kind of food
to give the children; how to cook it;
how to feed the COWS and what; how
to care for mother and the baby; how
to purchase health, how to conserve
the boys and girls; how to balance
the meals; how to organize a COW
testing association; how to conserve
the soil; how to make and keep good
roads; how to earn and save, and
many other things too numerous to
mention. And remember, this is all
to be free without cent OF cost to
anyone. Ha, Ha. But don't forget
that Jones pays the freight. OF
course our boys and girls go to the
great free university to obtain free
education, and it is no more than
proper that they should give some of
it back free to their benefactors. But
sometimes we can't appreciate what
we even get for nothing. Just recent
ly we had a free ticket to an enter
tainment, and am sure it was not
worth the price.

is a Busy One with Votes
Coming in Daily.

Booster week In the Telegram's
10000 Club is a busy one. Votes
are coming in daily and the interest
In the campaign is increasing by
leaps aud bounds.
The members Of the club realize
that this is very generous offer In
which they have a chance to create
a reserve, that they would have to
work hard for later on. While this
weeks offer is not as large as that
OF last week, 1t will be the largest
offer in force during the campaign
and 1t will pay you to work hard now
as the following offers are going to
be smaller each week.
The winner will be determined by
the one who has secured the most
votes and not the one that turns
in the most money. II 1t is votes
that you need. why not work the
hardest when you can get votes the
easiest?
We are adding new members daily
and today's list shows quite a num-
Der OF new ones. While these mem
bers did not start ut the beginning.
they have as good a showing as any
one, and no one has the car won as
yet. The campaign is barely under
way and there is lots. OF room for
new members. To you who have not
sent the nomination in, do 1t today.
