County Agent, her pig made the growth mentioned above. The re- suit is that when she exhibited her pig at the Live Stock Association in Little. Rock in February, her pig stood first among all breeds and all ages, which, together with her ex- cellent record, won for her $i60 scholarship which will put her thru an agricultural school one year, Certainly this is an unusual way of growing pigs. Hundreds of boys and girls are doing about as well. It is not an unusual thing to grow cotton in Arkasisas. but to make two bales per acre is an unusual way of growing cotton, but this is what some of the Cotton Club Boys are doing.
 It is not an unusual thing to grow tomatoes, but for girls to make from five hundred to eight hundred bush els per acre is not the usual way of growing tomatoes, but the Tomato Club Girls are doing that.
 Neither is it an unusual thing to grow chickens, but for little girl to borrow s5 and invest in poultry from which she made enough money in one year to carry her thru an Ag- ricultural School, is certainly an

 THE SPECIAL SCHOOL EDITION.

Several weeks ago announcement was made thru our county papers that arrangements were being made to publish Special School Edition of The Star, and all the districts were invited to furnish some ma terial. A large number of the teach- CTS responded very promptly and to them is due very largely the suc- cess of this special edition The fact that the teachers have furnished the cuts for this edition at their own ex- pense shows that they are really iTi- terested i'll tine development of the public schools of our county.
 It is the purpose of this special edition to give the public better understanding of the condition of out schools and a better knowledge of the progress being made in the educational development of our county. It is hoped that it will be the means of arousing a greater school interest turnout the county

modern school building in every dis trct in the county.
 A few years ago there were only two or three schools in the county that employed two or more teachers. This number has increased until this year we have eighteen schools that employ two or more teachers. These schools are as follows: Acorn, Potter, Rocky, old Potter. Dallas, Board Camp, Big Fork, Cherry Hill, Hatfield, West Valley, Two-Mile, Cove, vandervoort, Hatton, Wickes, Grannis, Ozark, and Mena. This means better educational advan- tages for the boys and girls of these districts.
 There was marvellous increase in the tax levy at the last annual school election. A large number of districts took advantage of the new school tax amendment and voted the fuii tax limit of twelve mills. There Will be approximately twice as much money available for school purposes next year as in any previous year. s1'Itis will mean better buildings, bet Ter eduipment. better teachers, long ar school terms, and better salaries for the teachers.
 We have in the county twenty seven special school districts, fifteen of which have been created during

five or forty teachers. The associa- tion has grown in both interest and numbers until it is now one of the strongest teachers associations in the state. Meetings of the assoeia- ton have been held at Wiekes, Cove, Hatfield and Mena. The programs have included addresses by the lead- ing educators and orators of the state, among whom may be men tioned State Superintendent J l.. Bond. State Supervisor of Rural Schools W. k. Laseter, Supt. c. w Reid of the Fort Smith Schools, Prof. J. W. KuykendaIl, Prof. E. w. Torreyson of the State Normal School and Congressman Otis Wingo. These meetings have been the means of arousing greater school interest turnout the county.
 Another means of arousing a greater school interest turnout the county has been the Annual Edu- cational Rally and School Fair. Polk county is one of the few counties in the state that hold an annual school fair. The character of the work done by the schools of the county is indicated by the splendid exhibits of school and club work displayed annually by the various schools of the county. At first only a few schools were represented and the exhibits consisted of school work, such as map drawing, compositions, essays. drawings, etc A majority of our schools were represented at the last fair and the exhibits con- sisted of school work, domestic art, manual training, girls canning club products, and boys corn and pig club products. It is doubtful wheth- CT a better display of this class of work has ever been made by any county in the state.
 We took another forward step last year when we organized a eoun- ty contest association, and held our first literary and athletic contests Contests were held in Reclamation, reading, music, spelling and basket ball. More than twenty schools were represented in the various com tests. Gold medals were given to the first and second winners Tn each contest. Hubert Patton won first honors in the Reclamation contest with Joe Emerson, Jr., as close sec ond. The reading contest was won by Miss Madaline Wooten, with Miss lone Golf as close second. Misses WilIamina pipkin and Peggy George were the winners in the contest in music. The hOnors in spelling |went to Misses Irma Nichols and Ona Anderson. Only two schools en- tered the basket ball contest, which was won by the Mena team.
 The people of the county have manifested considerable interest in the improvement of their school buildings and equipment. Between fifteen and twenty new school build

cry encouragement possible to lift them to~the highest standard. It IS partly tine purpose of this edition to create healthy spirit of rivalry among our schools and especially to encourage and inspire the weaker districts to greater and better ef- forts.
 The publishers of The Star have spared neither time nor expense in making this edition possible and they should receive the ,thanksaof the school people of Polk county. They were very kind offering to do this much for the schools of the county and we should appreciate their efforts.
 Remarkable progress has been made in the development of our schools during the past few years. Let us hope that the next few years will see still greater development along educational lines. Let us make a united effort to place our county in the front ranks educa- tionally.
 Yours for better schools.

 Doing Usual Things in Unusual Way
 The keynote to the Boys and Girls Club Work is expressed in a recent magazine in which the ques- ton was asked, What UNUSUAL things did the managers and super intendents of a large packing in dustry do to secure such responsible positions?" The answer being, They did not do unusual things, but did the USUAL things in an UNUSUAL way" So it is with the Boys and Girls Club Work. We are not ask ing them to do UNUSUAL things, for certainly the growing of corn any where is not an unusual undertak- ing, but for boys between the ages of 10 and IS years to double, thribble and even quadruplc the yield made on similar lanos under ordinary cultivation. or for the Corn Club Boys to make a five year average of 10 bushels per acre, which is double that of the State under ordinary methods, is certainly an UNUSUAL. way of growing corn, yet this is the record of the Corn Club Boys of Ar kansas.
 Neither is it an unusual thing to grow pigs. but for little girl i3 years old to take 30 pound pig and make it gain 275 pounds in ITO days, or an average of 1 6-i0 pounds per day. at a cost of about 3la cents per pound, not including labor, is cer- tainly an UNUSUAL way of raising hogs. (And, by the way, the story oS this little girl is interesting. She had been raised in the city and knew something of the comforts of city 1 life in the way of electricity, water works, etc. Her father moved to the Harm. The little girl became dissat- isfled becauses he could not have the comforts she had in the city. She begged her father to sell the farm and go back to the city. but me day the County Agent visited her father and was telling about the Boys and Girls Clubs. She became interested at once in pig growing contest. Her father borrowed si0 from the bank with which he purchased a 30-pound pig. Thru the instructions of the
