the students Of the universities and col

had its inception at the University Of
Missouri, is nov under way.
The reason for forming student adyer-
tising organizations" says Joseph B. Hos
mer, student in the School Of Journa-
lism and chairman of the conference Of
student organizations of the Associated
Clubs Of the World. lis that the teaching
Of advertising in American universities
has developed to a point where it is a
recognized part Of the curricula in more
lhan scveniy-6ve universities and colleges
and the fuiuEe course Of advertising must
necessarily depend on the graduates Of
these schools for its leadership.
This makes it desirable that the stu
dents in these seyeniy-fve universities be
come actively acquainted with the spirit
and motives Of the Associated Advertising
Clubs Of the World during their under.
graduate days. The most practical meth
cd Of insuring this acquainianceship on
the part of advertising students is through
advertising organizations in the univer-
sites"
This need has already been recognized
by advertising students. as there have
been organized at various times during
the last ten years not less than fifteen
such organizations. Al the present time
teight Of these are growing concerns aiil-
lated with the Associated Advertising

They are called county "roundups and

early fall
The clubs Of the state hold meetings
which the leaders attend 10 solve club
problems. At these meetings ihe plans
for the work are discussed.
One Of the practical results Of the
clubs is the desire tina, is stimulated to
improve the breeds Of livestock and poul-
try. A few years ago clubs we're started
with any kind of stock. but now they in
sist upon purebred stock and 10 many
places the clubs require their members
TO own registered animals. Another re-
suit Of the club work is the ability the
boys and girls are showing in judging
products. 1T is not unusual to find boys
able 10 Judge corn, poultry and livestock;
girls capable Of Judging sewing, baking
and canning, said Mr.. Emberson-
Sometimes the girls prove the equal
Of the boys in judging grain and live
stock. Lois Barlow Of Fairfax was the
winner in the beef calf club. Another
girl winner was Bessie Garinger Of Mount
vernon. who was state winner in the dairy
calf club. Missouri won first honors in
the National Dairy Contest held in Chi
eago last fall. The judging team was
picked from the Chillicoihe club. The
members were Arthur Gwin, Arthur Ben
nett and Lowell Forbes. Fifteen states
competed in tins contest.
There are many canning and sewing
clubs being Organized at this time The
purpose Of these clubs is 10 give the
rural girls an opportunity to study home
