by the superintendent of streets,
Ward, this afternoon. Ridiculous
as it may seem, that material will
have to be put back every time

A number of boys and girls CLUBS
were organized last spring through
the efforts of County Superintendent
S. D. Faris, there being ten different
projects or lines of work, corn, pota-
toes, garden, canning. poultry, pig,
sheep, calf, baking and sewing, the
members of any one club being privi-
legged to carry on any one of these
or a number of them at the same
time.
Plans are now being made to In
crease the number of the boys and
girls clubs throughout the county,
and from now on the different schools
will have an opportunity to start
some of this work, as plans have been
made with Miss Wilder, county agent
of the home bureau, to assist in the
training of the boys and girls, If the
teachers of the community will make
1t point to see her when she holds
the regular home bureau meetings
about the county.
Many of the clubs brought in very
successful exhibits from last years
efforts, and as that was just the be-
ginning of the plan, vast strides will
evidently be made among the chill
dren during another year, the interest
having been aroused to such an ex-
tent that all will be interested in
participating in this educational and
remunerative work.
