public spirited viewpoint, it has es-

several years.
Gifts For Boys Pig Club.
Without their attention having
been called to this matter by their
parents, it is possible that many am
bilious boys will remain unfamiliar
with Gillams proposition unless
their interest is attracted to these
paragraphs, or the plan explained
to them BY the older heads.
There are possibly a hundred or
more boys between the ages OF Il
and 10 years in this section who
would like to take advantage of the
Gillian proposition-boys who
would make a success Of the ven
ture. too-should the details be
called to their attention. Why not
give them the chance? 1t can do
no harm to tell them about the plan
and it is not only possible, 'but very
probable that it will result in un-
told results for the juveniles.
With the cooperation OF county
agent. Carl Russell-who, by the
wav. is credited with having accom-
plished wonders in the advance
ment OF the county's live stock and
agricultural interests boys bis
! type Poland-C China pig club will be
organized consisting OF thirty char
ter members. They will each be
sold bred gilt sired by the great
King OF Wonders on their unen-
dorsed note, without security, at
prices ranging from $50 to I5-tar
less than the price at which there
is a constant demand for them at

Furthermore, Gillian agrees. to
cancel the note given by the BOY
whose gilt and pigs win the tirsl
prize in the club complication at
the Carter County Free Far, an
incentive which, will without a
doubt. assure the proper care and
feed for the animals.
Twenty King of Wonders Pigs.
The gifts will be ready for deliv-
erv about the first of February and
applications for them on the Gillian
plan should be filed with county
agent. Carl Russell, at the earliest
possible moment. There will be
only thirty and the boys making
the first thirty applications will gel
them.
Bob's faith in the honesty OF chil'
dren is adamant. That he believes
them unquestionably honest is evi
denced by his willingness to accep,
their personal notes for the val
uable gifts. The plan will put the

1t has been mentioned, ! believe,
it is Gillams intention to breed,
raise and develop registered cattle
and hogs for both breeding and
show purposes. The fact is, he has
already started both phases of the
business. His exhibits of both cat

Free Fair-although shown in eX-
ceptionally fast company-pulled
down several choice awards, among
them two OF the extremely coveted
