GRAHAM CLUB TELLS.
OF INTEREST IN " ORK


Interest in girls club work is pro-
crossing in Carter county and the
work done by Mrs. Minnie &. Church
home demonstrator has proven to
be one of the greatest benefits TO
the county in the past three or four
years. Her girls are all actively
striving for public recognition and
they have grasped the opportunity
Of becoming proficient with a zeal
that has stimulated their elders to
follow their example.
The Graham Club.
Jewell Holman, member of the
Graham club when asked for her ver-
sion Of the club work recently said
"One afternoon Mrs. Church came
to our school and gave a nice talk
about the boys and girls clubs, and
we then and there determined to or
ganize club at our school.
THE reason that l joined the cam
ming club is that | thought l would
Ike the work and l also liked to
can, and yet l am interested in poul-
try work even more than | am in
canning.
"We have had many good times
at our meetings and rallies and are
now canning in preparation for the
county fair.
One Saturday morning all the club
girls met AT the school house with
Miss Fischl our teacher and made
our wall pockets; we had a nice time
and talked about what we would
90 on rally day which was to be on
the following Thursday.
On Thursday morning we hung
CIR wall pockets and fixed the stage
fcr the evenings entertainment, when
we had everything arranged we had
% picture made Of the club in q
body.
Mr.. Hayes, Of the state a. 6 NJ
college judged the poultry, and all the
boys and girls seemed 10 enjoy watch
ing him do the work he also judged
the exhibit of eggs after which we
al went through our regular club
exercises.
Mrs. Chandler gave n very inter
esting talk to the ladies', and while
they were having their meeting. Mr.
Hayes and the boys and girls clubs
went to another room where he wrote
q club song and also club yell
which he taught US all to sing and
shout.
The title of the new organization
is the -Four H Club" and the motto
Is, Heads, Hearts. Hands Health.
The five reasons why club work is
being conducted for boys and girls as
we are taught are |. TO make better
farmers; ., TO raise more food; 3, to
raise more stock; a. 70 teach boys and
gr!s how 10 make and save money: .,
10 make boys and girls help their
fathers and mothers.
The club work has taught me how
TO raise q garden. how to care for
chickens and other poultry. how 10 can
fruits and vegetables and it has
helped me in other ways such AS
sewing and other household duties.
Il have planned TO exhibit my stuff
at the county fair and compare it
with wori; OF other girls in different
sections Of the county.
Papa plowed my garden for me al
first. then / narrowed H. In about a
week after II was plowed and narrowed
