KEEPERS
"a HAVE GOOD PROGRAM
FOR FARMERS WEEK

a A cordial invitation is extended TO
all poultry raisers to attend Farmers
Week at the University of Missouri,
SJanuary 10 to 23. A short course in
poultry husbandry, which extends
Through the entire week, has been ar
ranged, with a program which should
8prove interesting to every poultry
keeper and particularly to those who
are striving for better egg produc-
Ition records. Professor j. G. Halpin,
Head of the Poultry Department, I'm
Diversity of Wisconsin, will occupy a
prominent place on the program. Mrs.
George Russell, prominent poultry
raiser and writer on poultry subjects,
of Chilhowee, Mo-, will also assist in
the program. Our friend, M. P. Hol-
liar, of Hardin, Mo-, the first cooper
ator in the demonstration poultry pro-
sject, will also be present to tell how
THE demonstration farm movement has
revolutionized poultry conditions in
his community.
Beginning at $50 Tuesday morn
ing, January 20, there will be some
thing of great interest to every farm
poultry keeper going on at every
available minute until the close of the
banquet Friday night. Farmers
Week is free to all and no person who
can possibly get away from home can
afford to miss it.

JASPER COUNTY
SETTING THE PACE

Carthage, Mo-, Dec. 24.-Jasper
county did not wait for the new year
in order to turn over a new leaf. Four
days after a preliminary State meet
ing of farm bureau officers decided
that the day of the dollar membership
fee in the farm bureau had passed,
the Jasper County Farm Bureau ex-
ecutive committee adopted the new
recommendation and placed itself on
record as the first farm bureau coun-
ty in Missouri to change from the old
one-dollar individual membership to
the new five-dollar family member
ship.
Under the new plan, the SIS member
ship fee admits the family, thereby
making farm bureau work a family
job commanding the mutual interest
and cooperation of men, women and
children. Under this plan the work
of the county agricultural agent and
the county home demonstration agent
are centralized in the farm bureau
and the two lines of, work become
parts of one unified piece of work
looking toward general development
of the farm and the home. With the
increased budget which this high
membership provides, Jasper county
may look forward sooner or later to
the employment of county boys and
girls club agent, in order to give spe-
cial Impetus to junior farm bureau
work. Why should not Jasper coun-
ty be first in Missouri. to adopt the
three lines of work recognized by the
present farm bureau law, namely, the
work of the county agricultural agent,
the county home demonstration agent
and the county boys and girls club
agent? This is the question which
the live wires of the Jasper County
Farm Bureau are asking themselves.
Some day County Agent J. H. H.
Mote will bob up and say, "Come on,
fellows, let's CO." About the same
time men like VIM. H. Black, president
of the Jasper County Farm Bureau,
and Cowgirl Blair, its secretary,
Judge ?. E. Donnel, ex-president of
the Jasper County Farm Bureau, and
all the farm bureau membership will
echo, "Let's CO." That will be the
signal for Jasper county to move up
to a new position in the foremost Of
the front line trenches. People who
have been watching Mote and Jasper
county for the last two years, will
look wise and say, "I told you So,
while old Jasper will settle down to
making plans for its next big push.

envy no mans true success,
This is my road to happiness.

Can rise to glory and excel

And in such service l can find
True happiness and peace of mind.

Harried and hunted to the grave,
Fearful of stronger mems abuse, .
But glad that can be of use;
Standing with free men, side by side,
And in my labor taking pride"

Than work that has been truly done;
No happiness is quite so sweet
AS that which comes from tasks COM

There's no pleasure to excel
The pride of doing something well.

The vast majority of Chinese men
remember their mothers as cripples.

of her own class who could walk and,
therefore, she walks in most "'gain-

The Chinese Medical Association
an Association composed only of Chi
nese physicians mostly gradunteS from
American and English institutions
have asked the entire educated commu-
nifty OF the country to cooperate in
better health for the children of Chr
ma. All the Mission Boards operating
in China felt that one Of the greatest
contributions the Young Women's.
Christian Association could offer to-
the health of China would be to es-
tabIish a normal school for the train
ing OF physical directors.
Accordingly, in Shanghai, which is
the greatest port in China, the nation
al committee established such a school
in 1914. The school has won favor
with all educationists, both missionary
and government. There have already
been nine graduates from this school.
Miss Wing Mel Chun, graduate Of
the Wellesley School of Physical Edu-
cation, has been dean of the school.
Graduates of the school are scattered
from Canton to Picking, teaching with
conspicuous success In twelve mission
and government schools.

and for little money.
In Shanghai, for instance, seventy

cessively hot rooms necessary for
apartments where fine silk Is spun.
In Canton alone, there are 10000
women In factories at a maximum

HESSIAN FLY AND
OTHER INSECT PESTS TO

The hessian fly, which in 1916 de-
stroyed six million bushels of Missou-
ri wheat, is again threatening the
wheat crop, especially in the southern
part of the State. Early seeded wheat
in many places is practically all dead.
During Farmers Week at the Uni
versity Of Missouri College of Agri-
culture, January 1928, a special dem
onstration showing the hessian fly at
work on growing wheat and the
methods Of controlling it will be CIV
en-. A similar demonstration with the
chinch bug, corn-ear worm and other
pests of field crops will also be given.
These demonstrations will be held in a
room adjoining the corn show and will
take the place of class room discus
sions of insect pests of field crops.

$4,000 Japanese Women Work
at Average Daily Wage Of Ten
90 to Twenty Cents for a
Twelve Hour Day.

There are more women in industry
In Japan than there are men, accord
to statement recently made by the
War Work Council of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association.
The world war has brought $4,000
women and girls into the daily grind
Of industry according to this state
ment 10000 of them little girls under
fifteen years of age who work twelve
hours at wage of ten to twenty cents
day, that the world may have si'k

In Tokyo alone, a city OF two and
one-half million people, there are 1OO,'
900 women employed in sixty-two in
dustries and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators, clerks,
photographers and bookkeepers to
work in silk and other sorts of fac
tories and domestic work.
Each year thousands of these wo-
men 60 back to their homes In the
country, broken in health and victims
Of tuberculosis because of the poor
conditions under which they work and
live. They are housed in dormitories
in the factory compound. These dormi-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
girls work long hours, have no recre'
alton and on finishing their long day
go Immediately to bed, oftentimes a
bed which a girl who works at night
has been sleeping In all day.
a a too fnN n.
men. the Young Women's Christian
Association plans to build dormitories
in manufacturing towns where girls
may live chegply under healthrul
physical and social conditions, to send
out secretaries who can introduce rec
reation into the factory compound and
direct games and social life.
This Is done with the cooperation
| Of the factories managers and pro-
| prietors. One of the most influential
of these is Mrs. Suzuki, the most
prominent woman manufacturer In
Japan, who is owner and manager of a
firm which exported S11,000,000 worth
of bean oil to America last year.
Recently Mrs. Suzuki decided to
employ one thousand women in her
| offices. She could not find enough
| well trained ones so she established
permanent school where japanese
girls may be trained to enter the busi'
ness world. The greatest danger
ahead of Japan, she says, is In Its
growing materlalism, and Japan's
greatest need, the development of hel
women.
