There will be a children's bread
making demonstration next Satur-
day, January rs, 1919, at 4:30 p. m.
at the Demonstrators office at the
court house. Two of the bread-mak-
ing club girls will appear on the pro-
gram. These girls are given places
on the state team if they take first
prize in demonstrating in their own
county. Corn meal mullins will be
made. We invite the children to
come and see them. We also invite
any mother or father who wishes to
come to be present. Try to make
Seward County girl take the State
honor this year.
There will be meat canning DEM
onstration at the Star Grocery Feb
ruary /, 1919. The purpose of the
demonstration is to show how we as
farmers may preserve winter meat
fresh all the year round. We con-
serve by putting up the meat when
we have a surplus and when it is in
the can we do not have to hurry to
eat it up to keep it from spelling.
We~invite our thrifty city people
to come and see how a quarter of
meat may be economically preserved
and made TO go twice as far as it
would, if bought in smaller quaint
ties and used extravagantly to pre-
vent spelling.
There will be a meat and chicken
canning demonstration at Scandret &
Fuest's February 8. Watch papers
for announcements.
The County is going to send two of
the best gardeners to Manhattan for

specialists who come to assist us in

Reconstruction for Seward County
Now that the war is over, we, are
in the great period of reconstruction. |
We have heard so much about this !
period, that we feared its coming be- !
cause of its great responsibilities as
well as its great opportunities. Great
speakers and writers of the day have
dwelt much on this all important |
topic.
The entire church world was ready /
for this great period and have their
forces reorganized accordingly. They
are realizing that we are in new
and advanced period of the worlds
history, and, not to be up with our
time is the same as lost in the race
of spiritual advancement.
The industrial world has been MAX
ing ready for the great changes
which must take place in their sphere.
Their leaders are meeting the sit
uation with a worldwide vision for
humanity.
The farmers movement is the great !
forward movement of the southwest.
Farm labor, a problem under farm
management, must work out its own
problems in each locality for no
one scientific rule is going to solve
the problem of farm labor. Women
have worked in the field during the
war and some will do so after the war
is over, while others will go to other
occupations for women. Some of the
soldier boys will return to work on
the farm, some will not. Some farm
hands will return and hundreds will
