Dear Girls:
Just a wordeer two on Am
bition. That is the first big thing to
be considered before launching out
upon a career. What do YOU wan to
do? How much do you want to do
it? Against what odds would you
fight to retain what you have in that
line? How long would you work at
it under any~1circumStances? These
are the first questions which will
come into the life of any young girl
who is just starting out in pursuit OF
her career.
Let me quote a few lines from one
of the poets:
True worth Is in being not seeming
In doing each day as 1t goes by some
little good.
Not in the dreaming of great things
To do bye and bye"

How to be sure of
rich, mellow Home
made Preserves

Experience has taught thousands of housewives
that preserving syrup made of "a Karo (2ed
Label and u sugar is the sure successful syrup
for putting up fruit.
They get clear, firm jellies, preserves with a
rich, heavy syrup and delicious jams. Then, too,
'candying' is avoided when they use this Karo
method instead of all sugar alone.
This fine, clear Karo Syrup is wonderful help
in all kinds of preserving.
It blends the sugar with the fruits, brings out
the rich, "fruity" favor, and keeps your jams
and jellies mellow in the glass.
For Cooking, Baking and Candy Making Karo
(Red Label is used in millions of homes. In all
cooking and baking recipes use Karo instead of
sugar. 1t is sweet, of delicate flavor, and brings
out the natural flavor of the food.

Stock Board, the farmers Of this
county expect to encourage, pro-
mote and develop the production Of
live stock and live stock products
to a sull greater degree than has
been possible thru individual and
separate group effort.
From now on it Is expected that
a working cooperation Will be eff
fected between the various local live
stock organizations and that these
organizations VIII be more closely
affiliated with the Wisconsin Live
Stock Breeders Association.
l. l.. Oldham, county agent, re-
ports that the board will be COM
posed of the presidents and secre-
taries of each of the organizations
identified with the live stock inter
ests of the county; representatives
of each of the unorganiZed breeds of
live stock prominent IN the county,
three representative farmers of the
county not holding IN office in any
other county organization, the pres
ident and secretary of the Walworth
County Bankers association, and
the county agent.
This is the first step in the cen
Trailing of all live stock and gen.
eral farming interests of the coun-

have more than a little bearing
on the future business successes
of Walworth county farms and
farmers"
