Edited by Caroline MOorhead, Agent

of holding the annual examination
and contest during the first or second
week in November. But on account
of much extra work in connection
with food conservation plans and be-
cause several of our girls are out of
the state and will not return till the
first of November, an extension of
time had been asked for, fixing dates
of contest for Nov. 1917. No large
exhibits will be asked for on this &C.
casion. We will just have the reg
ulation number of containers from
each girl when report warrants such,
but all reports and essays should be
in the office of the demonstration
agent during the first week in No
vember. Let every club girl prepare
her work in due time. Get your con-
test exhibit ready, not forgetting that
the Marion County Fair rightfully ex-
poets splendid exhibit from the can
ming club girls.
While it is true that a number of
club gardens made very little, or in
some cases, no yield at all, there were
some that did remarkably well, con-
sidering the many disadvantages of
the past season. Some of these girls
will have money to bank when their
canned goods are sold
Girls don't forget to either start
or add to school or college fund
when selling your goods this fall A
substantial education earned from the
proceeds of your club work will be the
greatest prize that one could wish for.
Labels for the canning club goods
are delayed, on account of the great
demand for them, necessitating a re-
print. Orders will be filled after Oct.
25th. Write or call at demonstration
Office.
Instead of having dinner given by
the citizens for the club girls this
year On Children's Day at the fair, it
is suggested that the girls give the
dinner on this occasion themselves.
Each girl is to bring something pre-
pared by herself. What about it
girls? It is nice to be entertained, but
isn't it also good to let your friends
see what you can really do by way of

You can't give too much considera.
ton to food conservation. Sixty
million men have been withdrawn
from the worlds productive force in
the last three years and of these sew
en- million have been killed or Grip
pied. The other fifty-three million are
fighting or helping the fighters. The
United States now has at least three
million men in its army and navy
and the work the army and navy
makes necessary-a we have only
begun. The number may rise to ten
million before we are thru. Don't
waste scrap nor penny-not only
France and England, but your own
children may need it before we are
thru.

our corn club boys join US. Some are
no doubt pretty good cooks; those
who are not might take few lessons
of the canning club girls.

Berlin's children are going to
school barefoot. If we don't manage
to check the rapacity of spectators,
our own children may be doing the
same stunt next year. There is no
reasonable excuse for the present

in the world than ever before, and
methods of manufacture are more
complete.
