Industrial Club Work
For Boys and Girls

J. A. Churchill, superintendent of
public instruction, has just issued a
booklet on "Industrial Club Work of
Oregon Boys and Girls for 1918, "
which he is sending to boys and girls
who may be interested in producing
things in the garden or field.
The booklet contains stories of the
personal experiences of dozens of boys
and girls who were members of indus
trial clubs last year, raising all sorts
of garden truck and livestock.
"You can help by Joining an indus
trial club and thus working to increase
the food supply" says Mr.. Churchill
in the foreword of the pamphlet. Last
year 1901 club members in Oregon
produced food materials amounting to
$31 ,1S2 80. This is a remarkable show
ing, but we hope to double the amount
of products this year. This little book
let is sent to you with the hope of en-
couraging you in this work.
"This department is cooperating
with the Oregon Agricultural college
in organizing and promoting the club
work. As state superintendent of the
schools of Oregon, l ask you, the boys
and girls of this state, to continue your
club work, and to do all in your power
to urge others to Join these clubs"

Some Old Licenses
Are Still Being Shown

That 1917 green automobile license
taos are still being used by few au-
tomobile owners in various parts OF
the state is reported to Secretary of
State Olcott in two anonymous com
municatious Just received by him. As
the secretary of state is not vested
with police powers, the duty of en-
forcing the motor vehicle registration
law by seeing that automobiles are
tagged with the 1918 license plates de-
wolves upon police officers, sherltfs
and constables.
The 1918 auto license tags are blue,
so the old tags, which are green, are
easily detected
"'What is the political influence and
favoritism that permits use of l9lf
green auto license tags, 3S,90l; 1856;

communication, which is dated at
Coos Bay and signed "Fair Play. "
''Officers always on the watch for
bootleggers (soak 'em bard), favor
some local friend to use last year

fit derived from hot food, and the
wearing qualities of the box.
Methods Of Packing Lunches.
AS has been said. foods should be
wrapped in wax paper before being
placed in the box, and the neatly
wrapped articles should be placed so
far, as is possible. in the order in
which the food will be eaten, SO that
those found first may be eaten first
without disturbing the remainder
Articles should be placed compactly
in order to reduce the size of the pack
age and to prevent the food from
shaking about. Empty space may be
filled neatly with paper, or, if made
from pasteboard the box may be cut
down to the required size. When
space seems lacking the difficulty may
be overcome by more careful packing,
by resorting to such expedients as cut
ting cookies, sandwiches, etc.
The mother who is interested In the
physical welfare of the child will see
that the school lunch is composed of
the proper kind of food and that it
has been prepared so as to be both
wholesome and appetizing.
