Each member wore a crown, which
distinguished him from other peo-
pie. Two long tables with benches
were placed lengthwise of room which
were filled with people. At the close
of the program ice cream was served
to all present. the first one cost
nothing, the second, third, ETC., cost
G cents each. Many games were
introduced and played on the tables
by all. Seventy-one in attendance.
At the close of the games cream
again was served.
The admission, 10 cents, pluss the
cream proceeds amounted to a nice
little sum which will go toward pay
ing for lights.
One hundred percent of club men,
bers were present and took and ac-
tive part. This club is moving along
fine and not only helping themselves
but the entire community.
The Importance of the Club
A club is very important in many
ways.
It will help the boys and girls to
be better farmers and farmers wives
in the future. 1t encourages the boys
and girls who live on a farm in that
It gives them more amusement and
more vitality. II shows them more
what they can do and how much bet
ter it is to live on a farm than 1t
is to live in city.
A boy who goes to the city to
make money often fails and is finan-
cally ruined, while a good farmer
hardly ever fails unless he speculates
too much.
Statistics sh, W that only about 81
Of the merchants are successful.
Take a casual survey Of the avecage
town and it will readily be apparent
that very few lawyers are successful,
while a large number Of so-called
lawyers are barely getting by, some
times by methods that are not credit
able. OF course a farmer is not
made a millionaire over night, but
when you get down to actual facts,
II will not require any unusual pro-
ficiency in mathematics to find that
there are just about as many sue
cessful farmers as there are success
full men in other kinds Of business OF
professions. OF course a good many
farmers as we'll as business men in
other lines have been spoiled by q
few years of abnormal profits. Be
sides, most people believe that the
other fellow has the best job.
For every farmer that goes to
town TO live and is satisfied, there
are two who wish they had not taker
this step. The main farmers prob
lem is cooperation and organization
not selling out and going TO the city
The club can gain lots by this, fol
II the club has organization and CO.
operation now, II will be easier fol
them In future life because they car
still have the same cooperation ant
organization. Also the club has
great opportunities in store. II is q
great thing for boys and girls TO &c
on picnics and TO socials and camps
was talking 10 Mr.. Buckler, ouI
State Leader Of Clubs, the other day
He said that IL the plan they were
working on carried, there would b
4 or 8 instead Of one from each
county that would get to 60 TO thu
State fair, free Of charge. So thai
means an opportunity to every boy
and girl in the club.
