just as all boys will and do. We are mighty glad that they feel free enough to come to us that we may help them out. They may be looking for job, or just down to tell us of good job that is open for some boy. Or they may want a sellers badge, or carriers, or work ing permit. They may want us to get them something to do that they may stay in school. It may be Scout who is wanting to stand test, or it may be a basketball game they are scheduling, or a dance, or a birthday party. And lots of times you will just find big bunch of them having a general good time. Rich boys, poor boys good boys, bad boys, working boys--just boys. that's all. Of course, the OK is always getting in the ditch. But we don't make any fuss about getting it out. And we don't like to talk about that. There always will be oxes and ditches. And the public expects us to do that work. And we do. And the greatest constructive force we have in the club to do that work is our Real Boys club boy.
 He's the boy who is making good, who's in school, or at work with a pur- pose,'' said MT. Tillery, "who believes in clean speech. clean habits, and clean sports. He's the boy who sticks by us, and pulls with us, and is always for us. We could name you scores of them. There's Robert Smith. Robert is only 16, and he is an expert stenographer, holding position with one of the biggest cor porations in the Birmingham district. He won the first prize in the Rotary club honor roll in the Boys club last quarter. You know, the Boys club being the spe- cial beneficiary of the Rotary club, has these men to do big things for us. They give a handsome award to the boy who wins the largest number of points each quarter in the honor roll contest. And a handsome prize to the 10 boys who f1n- ish next highest. Points are given for reading prescribed books, for efficiency in work, for conduct at home, and pro- gress in school, for not smoking, and for care of the teeth, etc And there's Henry Ehlbert. We feel like he belongs to us. Until recently Henry was a freshman at the state university, but now he is at Howard college. Some day he will be a doctor. Ask pr. Finder or MT. Frank Rushton, who helped them out when they were in Washington. Manuel Stein Is lon the inside''vup there, being chief of the democratic pages. He put pr. Finder and MT. Rushton next" Manuel belongs to us, too. And he will ask Bir- mingham to vote for him sooner or later. George Dismukes is another boy we are proud of. He is one of our very best friends. George holds very responsible position here with one of the biggest railroads in the country. He is only 16 years old, but he is earning mans salary. George believes in an education.

MONEY FARMERS


National CroS improvement SsrvIss.l
Many of our farmers will not haVO
money enough to put in maximum
crop. This should not be the case. O1
course, during this war excitement 1t
is pretty hard to get onyone to do any,
thing but run around in circles, Dut
the greatest business problem we
have is to finance our farmers so that
they can get the maximum results Tor
themselves and for our community.
We believe that if the banks will ask
young farmers and tenants who nave
not established their credit. to make
a statement regarding what they want
to do with the money, that they will
take very little risk in advancing
whatever money any farmer will IN
diligently use this year.

Use Of Stratified Trees.

The trees of stratified growth,

not to be Unfortunately planted.
Nearly all the araucarias and many

These may be used where the lines OF

STILL TIME TO sow BARLEY

lNaUenai Crop improvement Sosvjeo.1
The seeding time Of barley should
be done later than that of oats or
spring wheat. as an early spring frost
is more detrimental to young barley
than to other small cereals. The sea.
son is usually week later. In Canada
barley Is sown up into June, but that
is not advocated in this country. Still,
the second or third week in May will
probably be safe this year.
