The grown-upS would do well to
emulate tkeir example. On every hand
are instances where, by the use of i'm
proved methods, boys and girls are Sc
curing larger crop results with a min
imum of effort, and by proper grad
ing, packing, and marketing methods
receiving a maximum of reward for
their labors.
Some of the finest eggs in the coun-
try are produced in Kansas and Colo
RADIO through the activities of boys
and girls. Boys and girls in every
state are prize winners for dairy, beef,
and pork production. In New Jersey,
through proper grading and packing
methods, the boys and girls generally
top the egg markets by at least cents
dozen. When eggs were so cents a
dozen in Massachusetts last year the
eggs marketed by boys and girls clubs
brought 81 dozen because of their
superior quality. Boys and girls
poultry generally sells at a higher
price than the prevailing market level.
A Young Business Woman.
There are many individual instances
of notable achievements by boys and
girls. One is that of a fifteen-year-old
girl in Massachusetts who marketed
about 5000 cans of high-grade fruits
and vegetables last year. The prod
ucts were so well put up that the Col
ony club of Springfield, Mass, desired
to contract for the entire output. At
the present time this young woman
has difficulty in meeting her orders,
which call for 5000 cans of produce
this year. There is a potential bust
ness woman who is destined to be one
of Americas highest types of useful
citizen.

At Lincoln, Neb., there is a boys
and girls garden club that has Great
ed a new departure in the marketing of
garden products. The members of the
club-4,O 900 strong-produced more
garden fruits and vegetables than
they could use. How could they dis
pose of the surplus crop? An open
air market was suggested. The board
of trade and chamber of commerce
favored the plan, and a Saturday
morning open-air market was created.
At first the business men of Lin
coin complained that it would inter
fere with the regularly established
produce trade; later they learned that.
on the contrary, the boys and girls
Saturday market created a larger de-
mand for produce during the week,
and they are now enthusiastic over the
has become a regular factor in the
economic scheme of things at Lincoln
and, curiously enough, 50 per cent of
the members of the club are girls
1t may be popularity believed that
the marketing end of farm production
should be conducted by the men. That
may be true with regard to some com
modities, but marketing experts of
the department of agriculture main
tain that sometimes women are better
qualified to handle the marketing
work in connection with poultry,
eggs, and canned products. The pro-
duction of poultry and eggs is largely
a matter attended to by farm women.
Canning Is left entirely TO the women.

If farm products can be marketed to
best advantage by those who have the
greatest intimacy with them, does it
not follow that the departments con-
tentiOn is correct?
Several hundred thousand gallons of
apples are used in Spokane, Wash,
each year in the manufacture of bak-
erS pies. Two years ago 10000 gal
Ions of apples annually were shipped
to Spokane from the state of New
York. Today, although the demand
Is greater, the quantity of imported
apples has been reduced considerably.

That accomplishment was made posi-
BILE by 40 young girls-girlS between
the ages of ten and eighteen-who
knew that thousands of gallons of Gull
apples were going to waste on farms
in the vicinity Of Spokane. Through
the assistance of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and Washing
ton state agencies, a girls canning
club was formed, with the result that
these small Gamers are furnishing
Spokane bakers with a large part of
their canned-apple supplies. Not only

studying and working out problems
that will confront them later on. And

NAME JUDGE CAV
Elected Chairman County Ad-
visOry Board of S. A.
Social Conditions Here To Be
Investigated, Plan.

Probate Judge Ralph H. Cav today
was elected chairman of the Shawnee
county advisory board of the Saliva
ton Army. c. B. Crosby was elected
vice chairman and ]. c. Mohler was
named secretary-treasurer. Other
members of the board are w. w. Eden,
Harry Wright, Lou Vesper James 3.
Doncyson G. L. Hooper, Oscar
Swayze and Charles Adams. Organ
ization of the board was perfected fol-
lowing an explanation of the home
service program of the Salvation Army
by c. D. Kidder, special representative
of the research department of the
army.
In adopting the home service pro-
gram the members of the board passed
a resolution saying that an investiga-
ton of social conditions in Shawnee
county will be instituted and as many
OF the sixteen major forms of relief
and institutional work as may be found
necessary will be used in correcting
these conditions
1t was pointed ont at the meetRg
that there are many cases of juvenile
delinquency in the county in which
the children are sent to the reform
school because there is no other place
to send them. 1t was shown that this
is especially true where the child is
not vicious in himself but is Maynard
and untractable merely because of
improper home atmosphere.
The recent wave of delinquency
among the young girls of Shawnee
county was scored by one man pres
ent at the meeting. 1t was then
pointed out that Salvation Army res
cue and maternity homes at st. Louis
and Omaha are instantly available for
the handling of such cases, and it was
shown that the formation of the coun-
ty advisory board would tend to de-
crease the shameful ends which come
to many such girls when they are
forced to flee from the scornful fingers
of their, neighbors and friends.

Tax-exempt securities can be pur-
chased to yield from q per cent
to per cent. Figuring on a y per
cent Yield of tax-exempt bonds it is
estimated that a taxable bond would
have to yield 211z per cent in order
to bring the same return as a tax-free
bond to 4 person in the highest in
come tax class to a person with an in
come of say a hundred thousand dol
lars. a taxable-bond would have to
yield 8 per cent in order to bring the
same return as a tax-free bond; to a
person with an income of fifty thou
sand dollars. it would have to yield
y per cent. This calculation takes

I2cs are taken into account, the ad-
vantage of tax-exempt as against tax
able securities would be still further
enhanced.
