about joining any of these clubs
must make a definite decision at

business and want to succeed to
become members.
Membership cards are being
printed this week, and will be
distributed among the various
schools of the county at an early
date. This card will show condi-
tons of eligibility to membership
in any of the clubs.
Boys and girls who need fnan-
clal aid in securing pig, calves,
or poultry. may secure same by
filling out blanks so indicated on
this card.
If you are not certain that club
work will make you a better and
a happier boy or girl, write to
Thomas O. Mabry, Verona;
Frank McSween. Tupelo; Clint
Long, Saltilo, or Miss Mamie
Paulk, Verona. These younsters
are succeeding and know how to
have a bank account.
Be certain to secure a member
ship card from your teacher. or

ucation by the first of February.
Then fill out all blanks and re-
turn the card to the county SUI

The aim and purpose Of the Round

The boys who were practicing
At the plant recently were
not In the employ Of the company and
overstepped the bounds Of harmless
mischieyousness in the opinion OF the
management and for that reason re-
course to the Law was thought advis-
able In order to set an example.
The throwing OF apples in and about
the factory. causing not only distress
% tho employees but also considerable
loss OF time. was entirely uncailed for
and had no justification in fact. &C
cording to the Round Crest people.
The offense with which the boys
were charged and upon which they
were found guilty was the actual
breaking OF the peace.
1t is the intention Of the Round
Crest company hereafter to see that
their employees are not thus bothered
OF moiested and II was in order to
teach the boys the seriousness Of the
trouble they had caused. that they
werc brought into the justice court.
