Around the Consolidated School

The Alberta Boys and Girls Club won
another big victory this week when
Henry Busch's pig Top NOtcher" won
the first place in the county contest for
this year Miss Top Notchers' Gam is
"A gnes Notcher" of the famous "Notch-
er" Duroc-Jersey stock. This pig was
one of the big attractions in the Alberta
Community Club parade of the Boys and |
Girls Club, June 10 last She then
weighed 1854 pounds. Her best litter
mate was in the same crate with her, |
but only about half as big and heavy,
showing what boys and girls club work
will do when performed by students of
the school who really make use of what
they learn in school day after day At
the final weighing of the pig she tipped
the scales at 278 pounds. She gained
daily 21 pounds in weight, at a cost of
1-3 cents per pound. Henry is raising
her for breeding purposes, adding her to
his other pigs he has raised during the
last four years as club member of the
Alberta Boys and Girls Club. Miss
"TOp NOtcher" will be sent by express
Thursday evening to the State Fair,
where she will enter the state contest
for sweepstakes and Duroc-Jersey.
Henry will leave on the same train with
his pig and enroll with the Boys Camp
at the State Fair for a week. Alberta
is proud of again getting back first
place as the hog raising center of the
county as II mas Deen unlnIeFFupIeuIy
the corn center for the last six years.
Last year for the first and only time
first place went to Chokio, won by
George Stein, one of Chokio's most faith
full and really successful students.
Another good club worker of Alberta
who is winner and going to the state
fair is Fred Henriksen. Fred is going
for the second time. having won out
first in the county corn acre yield con-
test Fred will be a captain at the fair
this year.
The Alberta canning team is drilling
patiently for the county canning con-
test to be held at Morris Thursday.
They are Veneta Morehead, Capt, Len
ora Eystad, Thelma Fougeron, Vivian
Foster and Florence Hamilton. These
are five faithful club workers and will
show up very we'll at the contest.
School session for the school year
1919-1920 will begin Monday Sept at
a. m. Every parent will kindly be
sure to have the boys and girls of
school age enroll promptly. The first day
is perhaps the most important of all.
The classes are organized, lessons are
assigned, pupils are enrolled, given their
places and in general the work is begun
in full on this day There will also be
visual instruction by motion pictures
It will be quite necessary on account of
the heavy loss of time last year to have
every student attend at once and regul-
arly or no promotion should be expected.
The school administration well knows
the fine spirit of Alberta school patrons
in cooperating with the teachers and the
board of education in getting big re-
suits for each future American citizen
