Team Work Counts

Team work always counts whether
the team is composed of mules or
men. This pulling-together spirit is
developing rapidly in the country and
is certain to get big results.
Shelby County reports the follow
ing lineup of county organizations:
"On Saturday afternoon, April Goth
joint meeting of the Execution Com
mittee of the County Agricultural
Board, the Fiscal Court and County
Board of Education, was held at the
Court House. Reports of work accom-
plished during the past months were
submitted by the Home Demonstra-
ton and County Agricultural Agents
The County Board of Education voted
to present to the County Agricultural
Board loving cup to be used as a
trophy in club work."
Even County Fair Boards are be-
ginning to get in line and help boost
the club work in some sections of the
State. Daviess County reports:
"The Daviess County Fair Associa-
ton has offered the sum of $500 to be
used as prizes for Girls Club work
Two years ago we had to solocit
prizes as well as space for our club
exhibit and it is gratifying to note
that this very generous offer includes
all the space we may want for our ex-
hibit and came quite voluntarily"

"This great love Of the American

Hatch Many Chicks

A produce company at Harrodsburg,
Ky, put in Mammoth incubator this
season to test the demand for baby
chicks in that territory. Although the
first hatch is Just now off, the demand
for day-old-chicks has been greater
than the supply. The manager of the
company writes:
1T looks as if next year we will
either have to give up this work or
put in larger machine
1t would appear from the above that
the baby-chick business had great
possibilities in Kentucky.

under Army trucks, any place that af-

hugeness of the educational programs
set up for the A. E. F. There are sew
eral thousand of our men attending
the Sorbonne and the University of
Paris. In England there are hundreds
at Oxford, Cambridge, and the Uni
versities of London, Edinburgh and
Glasgow. They are attending art,
technical and agricultural schools. OF
course some persons are inclined to
think these men would rather be COM
ing back home but the truth Of the
matter Is that these are the men who
form part Of the emergency force that
is being kept over there. Those who
show an inclination to improve their
education are given leave to go to
these schools. At the same time they
are close at hand If their units should
need them.
"In addition to the number of men
granted leave to go to these various
universities there Is the Army school
at Buenne This school is commonly
known throughout the A. E. F. as the
Khaki College. Here the instructors
are the ablest men of the Army and
welfare organizations and in addition
a large number of specially qualified
INSTRUCTORS who were sent over from

The courses range from beginners
preparatory schools to full college
grades with the widest possible range
of technical, agricultural and arts

trees and shrubs which the father of
his country planted of trees and
srubs which the father of his country
planted with so much care. All this

enjoyed the beauties of nature; but
he seldom commented on them, at
least in his diary. One April day
when the shy young leaves were max

diary:

the belief that the bomb was placed be-

found fragments of the bomb sufficient
to reconstruct it. They said it had been
made of a piece of iron pipe about 10
