Arkansas Girls Attend
 the Club Short Course

FayetteVllle, June Io.-tSpeclal) - Club girls who are able to attend the six district short courses this year more good things are in store for them at these training schools than ever be- fore in the history of Arkansas club work
 Of course this doesn't mean that the club boys are being left out in anyway because those who are in charge of the short courses are giving everyone there a grand and glorious time and when the week of pleasant events and profitable instruction is over every one is going to go home with more en- thusiasm and determination to put more effort into their club work. Work for the girls is being divided into two sections. First, is the work for the regular number of duly elected delegates from organized clubs in the counties. These girls have daily pa riod of organized play and community singing. If all work and no play mak- es Jack a dull boy, it has still worse effect on Jill. - It makes her awfully hard to live with. Due attention is given to this work of Miss Carrie Plunkett, who has been specializing in this work at Ames, Iowa, all winter.
 The work in foods and cookery with special emphasis on bread-making, ta- ble setting, serving and table manners is planned and supervised by Miss Ger trude E. Conent, state nutrition spec ialist of the Agricultural Extension Division, University of Arkansas. full explanation of the four years course in sewing for club girls also IS heinz given by Miss Leo Griffin, state clothing specialist. Lessons in darn ing. patching and buttonhOles are given in connection with this work.
 H. B. Lansden, state poultry special ist. assisted by the resident professor of poultry husbandry, is giving ln- struction and demonstrations in judg- ing and other phases of poultry work. The gardening and home dairy work IS given either by specialists from the College of Agriculture, University or Arkansas, or by resident teachers or these subjects.
 The second group of girls attending these short courses consists of team of three girls and an alternate from each of the counties in that district. These county judging teams are com pating for the honor of representing the district at the state contest during the Farmers Short Course at the Uni- versity of Arkansas, August 16-19 1n- elusive. The district team consists of the three highest ranking girls in the district contest regardless of the coun- ty or counties in which they may live. Much enthusiasm and rivalry in this contest is being manifested by all club girls The girls are becoming very proficient in the three lines of work euuired-judging poultry, judging bread and judging canned products. Each is anxious to win out ln the state contest and get the free trip to the Tri-State Fair at Memphis, the week of September 18th.
 The district shourt course for the Little River county section will be July to 8 at Magnolia.
