 a chance to get pure-bred Jersey calf. Young America liRes the best Give a boy charge of sure enough, classy anil nal and leave it to him to take care Of it. There are few things which will pay better than a Jersey COW we'll handled, and to start score or more boys in Jefferson county along the right path with something to pet and raise that is worth doing means that while you have helped to insure the milk situation you have at the same time aided the boys in making some money and getting love | fer live stock.
 | believe that the time will come. and that before long. when there will be hun- dreds of calves in the hands of Jefferson lcounty boys. 1t may be that the job will get beyond the Chamber of Commerce and hope it will. for want to see the day when some of our bankers, mer- chants. manufacturers and professional men will say to some pFpmising lad who 7, may be suggested to their attention by tthe principal of some' school in the county as dependable. Let's be part nors; I'll stake you to a calf, and we will divide up later on the proceeds"
 I am in favor of the ''big brother movement, but one of the best ways tc help boy is to make 1t possible for him to help himself. There is something about the care of live stock which seems to call out the best there is in a lad It teachers him tc be humane ard to lovs ] animals. It schools him in the righ' kind of discipline. for in feeding, water Ting and housing his pet he learns lthr oukh daily experience the need of do. ing hiss task thoroughly if he expects tresults.
 i | hope the Rotary. the Kiwanis. thu Civ1tan and the Community clubs vii each offer prize to- be awarded to tns -four boys who make the best record wttf ttheir calves. It would mean q very smai l sum, but would be stimulating eacf year. The cowman likes . money pre- I mium, but he loves to show his ribbons I am sure that Chairman Brown cal easily work out plan which the foul lclpbs will be glad to carry out.

Office of the judge of probate. He
gave his horse and buggy to his neph-

In the illness of the other members of

untiring in ministering to them. Du-
ring the weary hours of the night, as
well as in the day, Lucy was always
ready and willing to serve her white
friends, and those who know of her
loyalty and faithfulness are greatly
pleased that Mr.. Brunson thus took
recognition of this faithfulness and
rewarded Lucy.
