Seven thousand girls! Can you
conceive what that represents? What
it means? Girls who tomorrow will
grace as mistreses seven thousand
Florida homes. Girls who will rear
and train the next generation. Is
there not way to illustrate what
they represent?
One man has said that it costs
about $3.50 a year to raise a boy or
girl. The average age of our seven
thousand club girls should be about
IT, If we accept this mans estimates,
we find that the average club girl in
being reared represents an expendi-
ture of about $500. But there are
1000 of these girls. All right, the
club girls of this state represent an
expenditure, to bring them to the
average age, of $48, 300, 900.
Then the home demonstration
agents of Florida are playing a large
part in the training of a part Of the
states investment, a part that is con
seryatively estimated to be worth
$4S, 100000.
But this girl-club work is not the
sole work of these agents. In fact,
it is mere trifle in comparison to
all they do. Their community leader

civic-clsb and farm bureau work and

cifc ocean. He began to search for
Linkville.
Time was when Linkville was one
OF the principal towns of Oregon. Dan
remembered the place because some
of the time-yelloWed letters his grand
father had sent him had been mailed
at a town that bore this name. But
he couldn't find LinkvlIe on the man.
Later he was to know the reason
that the town, halfway between the
sage plains and the mountains. had
prospered and changed its name. He
remembered that it was located on
one of those great fresh-water lakes
OF southern Oregon; so, giving up that
search, he began to look for lakes. He
found them in plenty-vast. unmeaS-
ured lakes that seemed to be diStrib-
uted without reason or sense over the
whole southern end of the state. Near
the klamath lakes, seemingly the
most imposing of all the fresh-water
lakes that the map revealed, he found
q city named klamath Falls. He put
the name down in his notebook.
The map showed a particularly
high, far-spreading range of noun
tains due west of the city. OF course
they were the Cascades; the map said
so very plainly. Then Dan knew he
was getting home His grandfather
had lived and trapped and died in
these same wooded hills. Finally he
located and recorded the name of the
largest city on the main railroad line
that was adjacent to the Cascades.
The preparation for his departure
took many days He read many books
on flora and fauna He bought sport
ing equipment. Knowing the usual
ratio between the respective pleasures
Of anticipation and realization. he did
not hurry himself at all. And one
midnight he boarded a west-bound
train.
He sat for a long time in the veSti-
bule of the sleeping car, thinking in
anticipation of this final adventure of
