Old Resident Falls Dead.

A sad closing of the old year and a
gloomy New Year was passed IN the
kOOntz home at Franklin Grove, ILL.,,
made so by the sudden death OF the
head of the household, {. r. kOOntZ.
Bright and early Sunday morning, he
did the errands around the house, ate
a hearty breakfast and went to the
pOstofIice for the mail, shortly after
s o'clock, on his return he stopped at
the railroad crossing to talk with the
watchmen, l.. Raffenberger, and VIM.
Watson. He was in his usual mood
and lust started for home when he
threw out one hand and fell dead
The body was carried Immediately to
the garage across the street and DR..
Grim was called, but death had been
instantaneous. Coroner Whetston was
notified and upon his arrival an in
quest was held. The verdict Of the
Jury was that death was due to fatty
degeneration of the heart. Calvin K.

The deceased lived to the age Of 76
years and months. The passing
out Of this life was very sudden and
a shock to the entire community. He
was a kind hearted neighbor, a jovial
friend and a husband whose place in
the home was ideal, and can never be

The Government in cooperation
with the Agricultural College is con-
ducting this year Boys Corn Clubs,
Potato Clubs, Pig Clubs and Poultry
Clubs. The Boys Corn Club has al
ready come into general notice. By
the end Of the year The Potato Club

and The Pig Club boys will be IA

Quoted through the State Boys Club
Leader and county agents have found
that the most successful way to have
the County Agents.
County Agents have found that club
work in a county can be most sue
cessfully conducted through Agricul-
tural clubs like the one in this coun-
ty at Mt. Airy. Professor F. X.
Smith, of the Mt. Airy High School,
has for some time past had the boys
of his community who are interested
in farming organized into a Boys
Agricultural Club. The boys elect
their officers, prepare their programs,
and conduct their meetings under the
supervision of Prof Smith. Their
programs consist of talks or papers
on agricultural subjects prepared
and presented by the boys themselves.
Occasionally they get someone out
side the club to address them upon
subjects in which they are interested.
Such local organization draws in
to it most of the progressive and re
liable boys of that section of the coun-
ty. 1t provides a place where they
can learn something of parliamentary
rules and get practice in public speak
ing and at the same time learn some
thing which they can put into prac-
tice at home. Such a club is sort of
headquarters for agricultural infor-
nation for the boys of that communi-
ty. Where there is such a club it is
easy for the State Boys Club Leader
and the County Agent to meet the

boys and explain to them the State
Club Contests and enroll those boys
whom the leader of the club consid-
erS most reliable in the Pig Club, the
Corn Club, or which ever they choose
to join. There is no objection to a boy
joining in all the clubs if he can give
good evidence that he will not have
100 much on his hands. Where there
is such club it is easy for the County
Agent to instruct the boys how to
grow their corn or care for their pig
He will visit them at their homes and
instruct and help them as much as
possible, but without a local Organi-
ZatiOn to keep up the interest and a
local person to consult, the boys are
more or less handicapped.
1t greatly adds to the interest and
importance of the clubs if a school
fair or local exhibition is held in the
fall and each member required to ex-
hibit a specimen of his work and use
full prizes offered. The winners at
the local shows will then be required
to exhibit at a county show at West
minister a short time later and the
winners there at the State show in
Baltimore during Maryland Week
The benefits of club work of this
nature are several. Each club mem
ber must carry out his instructions to
the letter in order to qualify for the
state prize. This teaches obedience
and discipline. The instructions Civ
en- the members are of the most ap-
proved type and in following them the
boy becomes familiar with the ap-
proved way of doing things and learns
that it is easy and interesting to farm
scientifically for he has a definite
plan to work by and he knows why he
does each particular thing He learns
that up-to-date farming like up-to-
date business methods brings results.
Selecting and exhibiting specimens of
his work teaches a boy the standards
of perfection and the knack OF dis
playing his wares in an attractive
manner. Being a member of the State
Boys Clubs enables him to become
acquainted with experts in different
lines of farming who are willing to
show and tell them how to secure
greater results and the state prizes
are always worthy of a boys best eff
forts. Last year the Corn Club win
ners were taken on a weeks automo-
bile tour of the state, banqueted at
the big hotels, and had the honor of
visiting the White House and shaking
hands with the President. Surely
enough for any boy or girl
Besides Professor Smiths success
full club at Mt. Airy, the county needs
clubs in other sections, say at Taney-
town, Manchester, Sykesville and
Westminster, so that the County Agent
may be able to get in touch with most
of the boys and girls of the county.
The Agent will endeayor to organize
these clubs in the very near future so
that the boys and girls of this county
can have an equal show with those Of
other counties, for it is nearing time
when work can be begun along some
Of the club lines.
