as fuel, claims to avoid the usual trou-

cylinders, each of size to yield about
$50 pounds Of reduced iron, and these
cylinders are placed In the furnace

compressed into blooms. A little sill

Farm and home work loses drudg-
cry and becomes an interesting game
for boys and girls as a result of the
club work organized by the United
States department of agriculture and
the state colleges. These clubs set
standards of achievement in home ac-
tivities and dignity common labor.
Boys and girls, both rural and urban,
In the clubs have their point of view
changed so they want to make fur
ther preparation and study In the
business of farming and home making.
The work is as permanent as the
public school system because 1t is
backed by permanent institutions,
state and federal, and is definite
part of the cooperative extension pro-
gram in every state in the union.
Things Club Work Does.
Club work socializes community life
through the boys and girls and gives
young people real motive in all
their work. They are trained through
1t for community leadership and co
operative work Of every kind and are
taught that it Is infinitely better tc
be proprietor of farm land, farm
animals, machinery, crops or kitchen
equipment, than to be mere wage
Garner. The state and national gov
ernments in 1913 employed 9S5 club
leaders to superintend the boys and
girls club work in the counties and
states, while several hundred more
were employed during the summer. An
average of ten projects a state was
conducted during the last year under
the supervision of the club organiZa-
ton.
Results for Junior Farmers.
Certified reports were turned in last
year by 744,703 boys and girls in the
clubs. Total quantities produced by
these junior farmers were:
313,77S.7 bushels of corn GAG, 1903
bushels potatoes; 2,9s7,9s3 square
rods Of home garden; vegetables. fruit

Sympathy as a Fine Art

Sympathy is one of the fine arts. 1t
should enrich. not impoverish:
strengthen, not weaken; inspire while
1t comforts. 1t is easy enough to say
you are sorry. 1t is easy to grieve with
your friend over his trouble and pity
him for his mishaps. But the sympathy
which Is fine art does not encourage
him to give way to despair. 1t stimu-
lates. 1t puts hope In place of heart
ACHE. 1t points on and up. Do not
wrong your friend with the sympathy
which will make him feel like plying
himself.

He went to investigate and found
the surgeon probationer, clad In

he had been sleeping on the ward

A ghost, In naval language, is

noisseur In noises.
The steering gear clanks heavily at

But ghosts are extra noises and
should be avoidable. Some misplaced

warm bunk and found the cause Of
the trouble and the ghost Is laid.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
An assistant county agent in Middle
sex county, Mass, noticed that many
farmers selling produce at one of the
community markets tool, no pains to
make their goods attractive to pur-
chasers. On several occasions the
agent was able to help farmers make
better displays of products.
An instance occurred at Hayerhill.
One morning the agent asked farm
er how his tomatoes were selling and
was told that practically no sales were
being made An examination showed
that the box Of tomatoes was partly
hidden by other products and that the
box showed some bruised, some poor
ly colored, and an occasional
specked tomato. The lot as whole,
however, consisted of well-shaped,
well-colored tomatoes. With the con-
sent of the farmer the agent picked
out six rather unsightly tomatoes and
placed them in another box, properly
arranged the remainder and placed
the box in a slanting position on the
stand.
Before this box was well placed In
position a customer inquired the price

Other customers followed and the box
was quickly emptied. The farmer In
his spare moments began refiling the
box, but before 1t was filled other Gus

Work In One County.
The boys and girls in Saunders
county, Nebraska, were unorganized
until last year, and, like any other
unorganized group, did little work.
Eighteen boys and girls there tried
to do club work by themselves, but 1t
Is not much fun to raise extra large
pumpkins or have your pig make
wonderful gains unless you have some
body with whom to compare results.
The stimulus is gone unless you can
measure your work up with some one,
and there isn't much fun in any work
unless you can make contest or
game out of it. The club organization
supplies this and the rapid way it
has spread over the whole country
indicates it has met a real need.
In 1918 the fathers and mothers,
the chamber of commerce, and the
county agent in Saunders county de-
cided the boys and girls were not get

important to be neglected in this way
and that what they needed was some
one to superintend their work. Money
