Some Surprises That May Not
Surprise You.

Mile was having some trou-
bles with her little old geogra-
ply lessons and SO the busy edi-
tor picked up the book and tried
to help her a bit.
This led to a more extensive
examination of the maps and the
said editor learned some things
that rather surprised him. For
instance. he found that the Pa
mama Canal was exactly south
of Buffalo. The western point
of Alaska is farther west than
the Hawaiian Islands. Travelling
from one corner Of Texas to the
farthest corner is as far as from
the northeast corner Of Texas to
Duluth, way up there on Lake
Superior. The greatest length
Of California is the same distance
as from New York City to the
Mississippi river! The eastern
most point of Mexico is directly
south Of the state of Indiana,
and you can almost jump from
it over ON to the island of Cuba.
Some country of itself, that same
Mexico.
We usually think of the Gulf
of California as an arm of the
Pacific ocean and therefore far
thest west, yet part Of its
mouth is about south Of Denver.
Mild British Columbia is as far
north as Labrador. which eastern
folks look upon as the last word
in zero weather. South Alaska
is i'm the same latitude as south
Greenland. You grow wheat,
vegetables and wear Palm Beach
pants in the first: the ice and
snow never melts in the latter
Lake Winnipeg, which you rarely
hear about, is as big rs Lake
Erie,
When a man has left schoo
10 or % or 30 years and ha:
spent his time doing any hine
else but teaching. it is amazing
how much learning he has lost
The foregoing geographic fact
about our own continent lies be
fore us wherever we look at
map and yet the majority of u
are greatly surprised when W,
come across them. But the fac
is we were all taught them once
they have simply slipped from
us.
Next time YOU meet n rC T,
ply. get acquainted With il an
you'll pick up lot Of surprise.

That's the kind Of thing boys
and Urls clubs are doing in Min

girls are now learning the best
methods of farming and home
making and discovering that it
play. But. more than that, they
are inducing their fathers and
mothers to introduce improved
methods.
Reaching the farmer through
his son might be the title Of an
Illuminating story, written from
the experience Of the boys and
girls.
There is n story that is told
of little Finnish girl. Mayme
Iyring, Is years old, of Sandy,
Minnesota, who was the cham
pion potato grower of the boys
and girls clubs of the state in
1919. This little 13 year old girl
raised 6G4 bushels of potatoes to
the acre. the record crop in the
history of the state, and made a
profit of 1923. So far has her
fame travelled that the Finnish
government obtained a picture
Of her and is to publish her
story in Finland as an inspira-
ton to boys and girls there.
The extent to which this work
has grown among Minnesota
boys and girls may be seen from
a few significant figures com
piled by the College of Agricul-
ture Every year more than
$4,000 is spent in prizes to the
boys and girls participating in
the different contests, and eve
~ penny Of it is worth while.
according to the state officials
who make the appropriations.
Boys and girls club work is one
thing that gets unqualified sup
port when it comes to making
appropriations in Minnesota,
A thousand boys and girls are
given free trips to the state fair,

herds.
Besides engaging in contests
and earning new methods, the
boys and girls are getting prac-
teal results rs farmers and
home makers.
The boy is required to keep a
systematic record Of his work
showing his expense and his in
