CLUB WORK.
Cecil County Boys and Girls Make
Good Showing.

Good Showing.
The Boys and Girls work OF
Cecil County is making splendid
Roadway. At present there is an
enrolment of two hundred boys in
the eight clubs, divided as follows
poultry SO, corn 27S pig 40, potato
%. All pigs are pure bred from
SOME Of the best blood lines in the
state. The two best pigs of each
class will be exhibited at the Timon-
ium State Fair where there will be
about $1,000 offered as prize money
in pure-bred pig work. Any boy do
ing club work and between the ages
of ten and eighteen is eligible to try
out for the county Judging team to
be sent TO the State Fair. The
three boys over the State winning
high place in this contest will be
sent to the National Dairy Show at
St. Paul, Minnesota. A number of
boys growing corn have purchased
pure seed which will probably give
them a start towards growing seed
corn and show corn for the county.
Among the two hundred and eight
girls enrolled in the fifteen school
clubs many are busying themselves
IN the various school club projects
poultry work, gardening, sewing,
etc. This past year the clubs at

records.
The plans for the summer are to
hold an intensive short course for
each club, taking up canning, mil
hnery, dressmaking, cooking, Thread
making according to the needs and
desires Of the individual clubs.

with instructive work in the morn
ing and games, etc. in the afternoon.

minded and quite true. But il has
never been shown that the selfish
policy benefited the nation pur-
suing il more than would have a
more altruistic policy. and to some
nations the selfish policy has been
disastrous in the extreme.
Today, America is peculiarly sit

been more or less true. and today
IL is actually true that We can
help this country only through a
policy of altruism toward the rest
of the world; we can help ourselves
only by promoting fair dealings,
doing away with special privileges,
promoting the cause of justice. And
il altruism pays dividends-if il

it? The only obstacle l can see is

What Is the Soul?

To the Editor, The Washing ton Herald
1t seems rather unfortunate that
certain individuals have to thumb
the Bible and isolate a few quo
tations' which they mould into a
meaning of their own nature. Yet,
the question appearing in the
Open Court of The Herald, What
Is the !Soul?' has wildly verified
this statement.
A spirit is a substance essentially
simple and lacking the three di-
mansions: or in other words il is a
