The following article about a real
club girl is of value to many. 1t Is
interesting to note that the busy boy
or girl is the one who accomplishes
the most in club work. Such seems to
be the case of Cora Houk, of White
Bluffs. She shows by her records
that she can raise a pig, a sheep and
a calf at a profit, as we'll as sew and
can this year. Finishing five club pro-
jects successfully is commendable.
Her records give the total values of
the projects to be $236.7s; the profits
amount to $1O9.65. The most enjoy
able work to her is canning, for she
canned 3241s quarts of fruits, vege-
tables and meats, besides making 81
glasses of jelly. The following is
what she writes about her canning
club work: 81 have joined the can
ming club for the last four years and
I have enjoyed my work very much.
Last year, I was the assistant local
club leader, and the leader being away
the greater part of the summer, it was
left for me to do the work. This year
I was appointed the local canning club
leader. This was the first time any of

profits are $91.27. Mamma was away
good part of the summer, so / had
the canning to do mostly by myself.
I told the club members that the one
who had the best record book, would
be the one I would choose to go with
me to the county contests. The girl
who had the best record book was
Monica Shanahan. She won second
prize at the local club exhibit on her

won the first place in the county in
canning. Then September Goth we
went to Yakima to compete with the
other teams in the district, and we
won the prize, but we did not expect
to win. We then had the privilege
of staying all the rest of the week.
We canned again with the girls from
the other districts and won the third
place in the state.

that we have run into good show

sight to complete his lists. When the
lists are completed there will be an
other call for the adjutant general

RESIGNS FEDERAL JOB
FOR INDUSTRIAL WORK
FOR ARIZONA MINE co.

A. f. Eldredge naturalization exam
iner for the southern district of Cali
fornia, Arizona and Nevada under Fred
Jones, examiner in charge, yesterday
resigned from government services to
become assistant industrial superin-
tendent of one of the largest mines in
Arizona. Mr.. Eldredge stated that as
yet he did not care to give oct the
name of the corporation with which he
will be identified after April 10.
The program which he viii carry on
will be largely along the lines of indus
trial work in its broadcast sense and
will be confined strictly to the miners
of the corporation by which he is en-
ployed. While the idea is not entirely
new in the east. it has never been tried
out on an extensive scale in this state,
and Eldredge has the enthusiasm, the
sympathy and understanding of men,
and the executive ability to do big
things with a big job, according to the
mine officials. His two years work
among the foreigners will be of i'm
menSe help to him in facing the trying
position that will be his.
The idea of the industrial superin
tendent is to get in close touch with the
miners, to win their confidence and to
help them in all possible ways. He be-
lieves that one of the primary factors
in making men happy and contented
is to teach them how to help them
selves rather than to lead them. The
value of cooperation will also be i'm
pressed on the miners by Mr.. Eldredge,
who will encourage the spirit between
the employer and employee.
THE miner has the right to expect
fair play. just as the mine official has
the right to demand il, and one Of the
big things is to teach these men the
meaning of fairness said Eldredge.
While he said he did not feel at liberty
to discuss his plans, he admitted that
he proposed not only working with the
men at the mines, but carrying his
work further by going into their homes
and offering advice whenever he felt it
was needed.
His Americanization work in the
past will serve him we'll in his new po-
sition. for Eidredge will endeavor to
teach the foreign miners that this is
America and the principles upon which
the nation is founded" He will also
advocate the use of the English lam
guage by the hundreds of foreign min
ers employed at the mine.
