SAYS CARTER SHOULD BE
ELECTED SURE

Professor f.. b. Hinshaw of Mil
burn was in the city last Monday,
and was asked " he and Charlie Car
ter. I'm other words Congressman
Carter were good friends. and if he
were for Carter's reelection.
He did not know as to the friend
ship matter but he was for Carter's
reelection by all means. He did
not think it wise to let matters OF
friendship enter into such matters:
that he had never asked Charlie Car
ter for any favor, but had known
him for several years.
In his opinion. this is time when
no man can fill Carter's place. from
the fact that he understands condi-
tions here and is now in better DO
stion to do more at Washington for
the interests of the people here than
any other man.
At this particular time it would be
most unfortunate to elect someone
else in his stead. Others may claim
the honor of securing the per capita
payment. but this payment is due
more to his efforts than those OF
any other person.
He is ranking member of the
House Committee on Indian Affairs
and understands these matters bet.
ter than any other man we could
possibly elect at present
His ability is recognized by the
strongest members i'm Congress and
he has their confidence. At this
particular time he is needed. and
can do more on account of the facts
above stated. while a new man would
have all these things to acquire. and
that takes time.
II would be a great mistake tc
send any other person to Congress
from this district Our best interests
demand that we see to il that he /.
returned.

TREND OF CLUB WORK
Development of Social Side of Rural
Life Prominent Feature of
All Club Projects.

In the early development of the
agricultural club work the financial
possibilities were usually stressed
and large cash prizes were offered to
induce young people to enter into
and complete the various phases of
club work This method of creating
interest has fallen into disfavor. The
tendency has been to present the
work on it's merits. The desire on
the part of club leaders and other
extension leaders is that the mem
bers enter the work for the benefits
Of winning a large cash prize.
The agricultural papers of the
country have published the financial
side Of the work. The school au-
thorities are more and more apprec-
iating the educational value of prac-
teal agriculture. Many educators
who know the great need Of rural
children for school training that will
TT them for their environment-life
on the farm-turn to the agriculture
al club work as one Of the means OF
yitalizing the work OF the rural
schools specially those schools
that are attempting to teach agricul.
ture without adequate laboratory
equipment Such educators see in
club work a means to the end that
the home farm Of the student be
comes an efficient working labOra-
tory without the expense to the
school system. They have been con
Ninced that the schools that are ac-
tive in club work are in general the
most efficient schools, and that the
pupils engaged in club work are not
Cnly the best behaved, but that theiI
scholarship grades are much higher
than those of the nonClub members
This comes from the fact that tho
necessary motive is offered and thf
heart interests of the children are
engaged. AS a result the school
work and the home life of the mem
bers are tied up very closely and the
relation between the two is more
firmly established. Club work is ar

POULTRY SHOW AT STATE FAIR

W, II, Stratton, secretary of the
FAIR Association, recently announced
that, i'm keeping with the increased
value of Southwestern poultry pro
ductions, the State Fair of Texae
would materially increase the pro
miums offered annually for poultry
exhibits, and this announcement is
followed by the statement that a d-
vision has been created for pigeons
and that a special building is being
constructed to house the exhibits in
this new class. Better facilities have
likewise been provided for the cX-
hibits of ducks, and large duck pond
IS now in course of construction.
In the main section of the poultry
division increased space has been al.
lotted for the exhibits of all standard
and utility breeds. and present indi.
cations are that each breed will have
q large following. Numerous requests
for entry anks have been received
from the p"nmier poultry fanciers OF
the Southwest, and there is every
reason to believe that the best and
biggest poultry show ever seen in the
South will } part of the 1916 State
Fair Of Texas.
Entries j the poultry department
will close 'ednesday, October IL
and pOultr' fanciers who contemplate
making an xhibit at the Fair should
send in the entries promptly.

important spoke in the wheel of vo-
cational training which is rapidly be-
ing rolled to the forefront Of educa-
tional endeavor.
The social side OF club work is
more and more TO receive the atten-
tion its importance merits. The club
groups in practically every State in
the Union are holding regular meet
ings monthly under the direction of
some mature and experienced leader
lin many cases, school teachers).
Officers elected from the club mem
bership preside and carry on the
meeting according to parliamentary
law. The program, together with
references and suggestions, are fur
nished to the club each month by the
State agent Each member reports
the progress Of his or her work
Timely articles OF instruction are
presented by the members and by
experienced adults. In most of the
Northern and Western States the

social program suggestions being
furnished by the leaders on all three
phases. As q ale. 90 minutes are
used, giving % minutes to business

the social interests The local lead
er is always present at these meet
ings to advise and direct when ne

The associatiCn With each other
and with those taking part in the
club program, causes the members
to wear off the rough corners OF their
social side. The iudividualistic ten
dency of the rural people is thus
weakened and the way to rural CO.
operation and organization is thus
paved. Strictly social meetings,
picnics, field days, etc. are held at
various times. Thus. the club work
tends to take an increasingly impor-
tant part in the development Of the
social side Of rural life Weekly

one new, very interesting and
helpful feature of the Summer Nor
NAL has been the Introduction Of
play in education Miss Bauman of
the Chicago School of Civics and
Philanthropy has had charge of the
work. Miss Bauman is an artist in
the playground work and has spent
her entire time in teaching this
work during the summer. Great
praise is due her for the remarka
BILE progress made. The teachers
will carry this work into their
schools and much good will result
A brief summary of the reason for
a course in play in education as
given by Miss Bauman is as follows:
Play In Education
At different stages of the child s.
development. certain instincts dp-
pear. If these instincts are allowed
to properly express themselves. ply
sical. mental and moral habits are
formed which survive after the in
stinct has faded away In order to
be normal the child must live fully
each stage of its development
The relation Of play to instinct is
fundamental The manifestation of
instinct gives rise to the pEenome-
non of play in children.
The various ages, with their par
ticular instructive tendencies, require
particular games. For children un-
der six years Of age there is special
need of sense games. dramatic, i'm
aginatiye and finger plays. From
six to ten years simple competitive
games. games of adventure, dramat-
ic and constructive play. Games of
skill arc especially needed during
the ages of 10 to 13 years; it is also
a period Of great physical activity
and the interest in running games is
at its highest. From 13 to / 5 years
the game interest centers almost en-
tirely around cooperative and com
petitive games. This is but a general
statement The first thing we de-
sire for the children is good health.
Every boy and girl should participate
in those plays and games which give
Sctual circulation. depth of chest,
good digestion. etc.
The second thing we desire for the
child is a sound mind to control his
body. There are certain mental
qualities which tend to be conserved
in the child through plays and games
for example: perception, acute
ness of hearing, clearness CT vision,
keenncss of touch, accuracy of judg-
ment. Of impressions, imagination
and reasoning.
The plays and games of children
furnish the best if not the only prac-
