Showing In Seven Months.
The eight women's clubs in Frederick
County under the direction OF MISS
Frances Gerber, Home Demonstration
Agent, have made great progress during
the seven months of their existence.
Clubs are located at Walkersville, Mer-
ryland Tract, Wolfsville, kemptown,
Thurmont, Urbana, Jefferson and MID
dletown. Membership in the various
clubs range from twenty to forty women
who reside on farms and in towns.
Meetings have been held twice a month
but with the apr zach of the busy sea-
son it has been deemed advisable to meet
once a month until Fall At there meet
ings the program consists of a short pus-
mess meeting, followed by some practical
demonstration or talk. Since these clubs
are under the direction of the Home
Demonstration Department of the Uni
versity of Maryland naturally many OF
TOPICS taken I'D are of Home Economies
nature, such as Nutrition and pietetlcs,
Meal planning, Value of milk in the diet,
simple preserving and properly arrang'
ed table, improvement of the interior OF
our homes, clothing-sewing machine
demonstration-short cuts in sewing, sell
ection of dress with special reference to
the stout woman and the slender woman,
millinery work; value Of hot school
lunches, poultry demonstration including
culling, diseases, etc, beautifying home
and school grounds, home sanitation.
One hundred forty five paper dress forms
have been made by the women at cost
of less than dollar apiece.
individual clubs have many special
features in connection with their club
work. Walkersville, a wide awake club,
has taken q step in advance and is plan
ming to consider topics of civic COM
munity nature. The first meeting of this
kind took place on Wednesday, May IL.
A most interested group of women OF
Kemptown Club decided, after having
millinery demonstration given them, that
that was the subject they wished to pur-
sue for several meetings. AS result OF
this meeting was given to hat making
recently. A number of very dainty or
candle and silk hats trimmed with hand
made flowers are being made.
The meetings of the various clubs are
held in the homes of the members with
the exception of Middletown where they
are held in the Domestic Science Room of
the High School. Any woman living in
the vicinity of club either on farm or

30-DAY CHECK ON LAND DEPT
 FUNDS, SYSTEM
Kuchler Method Advises State of Its Land Deals at End of Each Month; March Receipts Shown to Be $46,000
Journal-Miner Capital Bureau,

PHOENIX, April 4.-Nct cash re- ceipts of the state land office for the month of March amounted to $46,- 496.36, according to a report com piled by Rudolph Kuchler, state land commissioner, showing the amounts turned over to the state treasurer for the first three months of this year.
 The revenue for March IS slightly lover the amount which was taken in during February and slightly under the revenue for January. The pros poets are good for heavy month for April as many quarterly pay ments on leases became due April 1.
 The total revenue of the depart mcnt for the first three months under the administration of MT. Kuchler amounts to $l43,14798. Most of this money goes into the permanent school, some to the loan board and the remainder to various institutions.
 The handling of these funds are in marked contrast to the methods or lack of method employed by the previous administration. Every penny taken in is duly accounted for each month and turned over to the state treasurer every 30 days.
 Kuchlcr believes that the public has right to know just what rcve- nuc the department IS collecting each month. Hence the adoption of the system of monthly reports.
