WHAT FOUR CLUB GIRLS SAID

Home demonstration agent quotes
four statements from club girls in
her county which constitute ahont as
vivid argument for club work as we
have come across:
"Q) A canning club girl said:
"Last year when ! Joined the club
two or three girls tried to discourage
me, telling me it was such hard
work and everything, but I certain
ly am glad l stuck. | made more
money on canning than l ever made
before and l didn't work any harder
than usual either"
"(2) A poultry club member said
81 Just love my flock of chickens
all one color. Since Joined the
club and studied about chickens
hate to see mixed flock"
"(3) A sewing club member said
"1'm so glad l joined the sewing
club because at the end of the year
I'll have some clothing to show tol
my work"
"(4 Her cooking club sister re-
piled: "Well, I'm glad / Joined the
cooking club because I'm learning
to make things show for my work
all the time, and besides, we have
such good things to eat on cooking
days"
The Progressive Farmer has ha(
a great deal to say about getting
farm boys enrolled in corn club anc
mig club work, but we are just al
much interested in getting farm girls
enrolled in canning clubs, poultry
clubs. sewing clubs and cooking
clubs. The government is spending
at lot of money to provide the ad'
vantages of club work for your boys
and girls. You are cheating yourself
and them if you do not enroll every
child in your home between the ages
of ten and eighteen.
And don't forget that club work
will help the farm girls as much as
the farm boys,-The Progressive
| Farmer.

GooD-BYE-GoD BLESS YoU!.

l love the words-perhaps because
When I was leaving mother,
Standing at last in solmen pause
We looked at one another,
And II saw in mothers eyes
The love she could not tell me,
A love eternal as the skies
Whatever fate befell me.
She put her arms about my neck
And soothed the pain of leaving
And though her heart was like to
break,
She spoke no word of grieving;
She let no tear bedim her eye
For fear that might distress me.
But kissing me, she said, goodbye
And asked our God to bless me.

TOKEN or THEIR GOOD WILL
Soviet Government Made Present of
Entire Train to Americans Whom
They Expelled.

When the soviet government took
control in the Urals, writes French
Strother in the Worlds Work, the
workmen at Kyshtim organized their
soviet. They waited on the American
staff at the mines and said they were
sorry, but a new day had dawned, in
which the workers would be able to
own and operate everything them
selves. Regretfully, because they
liked them, they would have to send
their American friends away. The day
of their departure arrived and the
workmen and their wives and children
escorted the staff, as guard of honor,
to special train which they had pro-
yided to take them away from Kysh-
tim. The train was decked with flags
and loaded with flowers and delicacies.
Just as it was about TO pull out, amid
the friendly shouts of the newly en-
fhroned proletariat, the leader of the
soviet in great excitement called the
senior American back to the platform.
II almost forgot to tell you," he
gasped. "The special train--don't
bother to send it back; it also is a
present from the soviet to our good
friends the Americans"

AirpIane Has Its Limits.

The officials of the United States de-
partment of agriculture have been in
receipt Of many suggestions relative
to extinguishing forest fires with the
use of gas bombs dropped from air
planes that 1t has been found neces-
sary to issue a statement for the pur-
pose Of explaining that the scheme is
not feasible. For the purpose of over
coming detachment of men, a mix
ture of one part of virulent poison to
100000 of air would be entirely suf-
ficient to accomplish the purpose, but
one of 100 parts to the thousand would
not be powerful enough to quench a
confiagration. Another thing to be
taken into consideration is the diff
Guilty Of dropping the bombs with the
necessary precision. The art of strik-
ing target with any degree of ac-
curacy has not been developed at this
time, and there is no prospect that 1t
will be sufficiently perfected to the
point of becoming available for the
purpose of fighting fires.

HOME OF IDEALLY SCORPION
Region in Mexico That Is Avoided by
Travellers for Most Excellent
Reason.

Revolutionary bands and brlgands
may ride up and down Mexico, but
there is one strip of territory that even
the hardest and most daring OF them
will not brave. 1t is desert country
that extends from point near the city
of Durango to the borders of the state
of Zacatecas. about seventy-f1ve miles
long by fifty miles wide. 1t Is as
serted that myriads of scorpions infest
this region and are the most deadly OF
the species.
In the city of Durango, although re.
garded as outside of the more deadly
zone, the death rate, due to scorpion
stings, is high. This Is especially true
as to children. The alachrane, as the
insect is commonly called, is regarded
as such a deadly pest that for many
years the municipal government has
paid bounty of one centavo, equiva-
lent to about one-half cent of Ameri-
can money, for each one killed and
delivered to the official custodian OF
dead scorpions. Something like 1OO,-
600 of the scorpions are killed and
bounty paid for them annually.
Killing scorpions is a regular indus
try with many men, women and chill
dren Of Durango. One is told that
some of the natives even 60 so far as
to establish regular colonies Of the
poisonous insects in their homes for
the purpose of breeding them for the
market.

BEDSTEADS THAT SAVE SPACE
Jhree-story Sleeping Places Are the
l.. Latest Idea to Be Placed
EE on the Market.

Two-story beds, that is to say, bed
steads containing two beds placed one
above the other, have been in use for
years, but something rather novel in
this line is the three-story bed, con-
tanning three beds, one above another,
which was placed upon the market not
30 long ago.
These bedsteads, which are made
entirely Of iron, are so constructed
that they can be knocked down to oc-
cupy comparatively small space for
convenience In handling in shipment
and transportation, the three-story
bed separating into FIVE parts, the head
and foot sections and the three beds,
each bed section having a wire mat
tress permanently attached to the side
and end pieces.
At the ends of each mattress frame
are pins that fit into slots placed at
suitable heights up the head and foot
pieces To set up two or three-story
bed one simply stands up the head and
foot pieces and drops the pins on the
mattress frames into the slots and
there is the bedstead with it's wire
springs in each tier ready to receive
the mattresses.
Bedsteads of this sort are intended
Tor camps, apartments, steamers or
wherever the floor space is limited.

To Destroy crassho ppers.

Poisoned bran bait is a simple, re-
liable and cheap method of destroy
ing grasshoppers. The formula is:
Wheat bran, % pounds; Paris green,
one pound, or white arsenic, one
pound; lemons or oranges, six finely
chopped fruits; low-grade molasses,
two quarts. The mixture is scattered
over the fields. Beneficial results have
been obtained from the poison, but In
whatever process is followed, commun-
ication must unite, for IL one farm
is rid of the insects, new invasion
will come. in from the adjoining farm.
An interesting incident of all poison
bats is that lemon juice is added, thus
1t seems that it is necessary to hand
the hopper lemon in order to get rid
Of him.

The man whose memory has for
1000 years aroused signal respect and
honor in China was sage, not saint
nor a founder of a religious faith.
Confucius took the best of the various
Chinese PHILOSOPHERS of his day and
formed a cult of his own, using as
basis five cardinal virtues-righteous-
ness, knowledge, sincerity, politeness
and discrimination of good. The wis
dom Of the Chinese Solomon so de-
lighted the people that temples were
built in his honor, his wise sayings
were widely quoted and came to be
taught in the Chinese schools.

is by way Of train to Gjedser, Den

present practically all Of the Scandl-

Chewing gum to the value of so, 1884,
