JESSE DRuLEY CROSSES OVER
BY William r. sanborn

JESSE DRULEY CROSSES OVER
1t was with a feeling OF deep regret
and of sympathy for the bereaved fam
lily, that the news of the sudden pass
/ ing of Jesse Druley. a native son of
Wayne county, was received BY a host
of friends. not only in Richmond, or
in Wayne county, but over a wide
local area.
"Mr. Druley was a kindly man of
genial manner; one who loved his fell
low man and showed it in his daily
walk" said a neighbor from Boston.
He will be greatly missed. His sud
den taking off is a shock to the people
of our township, over all of which he
was intimately known and respected.
The story of his crossing the Great
Divide has been told and today an
impressive procession of lifelong
friends are making their last sad call
at the family home in Richmond. With
these are mingled more recent ac-
quaintances, made during the six
years of his residence in Richmond.
Well known in both town and coun-
try the news of his passing, suddenly
anu LII liz pllluS VI lllCS oS lnC SdOCC
of almost universal regret.
To the people of Boston township,
in which he was born IS years ago,
and to his neighbors and associates in
Richmond, where he had lived for the
past six years, Mr.. Druleys death will
be accounted a personal loss. As an
influential and progressive man he
will be missed in many circles in
which his presence was an inspiration.
In a conversation with the cashier
of the Farmers State Bank, of Boston,
we learned that resolutions of condo
: lence and regret are to be drafted by
the officials, a copy of which will be
presented to the bereaved wife and
9 children. Mr.. Druley was active in
the organization of the bank in 1912
was a large stakeholder and served as
its president up to January of this
year, when he retired because of the
pressure of outside interests, but still
retained a seat in the directory.
The funeral services will be held al
the family home. 80 South Thirteenth
street, at 8 O'Clock Getty timeD or
Thursday afternoon. The laying away
will be in Boston cemetery.
e Country Club Work
At this time there are approximate
ly 500, 900 children between the ages
D of 10 and IS years that are enrolled
in boys and girls farm and home
. project clubs in the United States
Large as this lumber may appear /
: is really but a small per cent of the
mass of children who would be ben
2 efitted by such training, and whom the
e club leaders in the various states arr
. anxious to enroll. 1t is estimated
that there are at least three and one
4 half million such boys and girls il
this country, which means that bu
S one in seven are yet enrolled.
With reference to this work, W.
Palmer. state leader of the Ohio clubs
says: Club work can be, ought to be
q and is being started by county agri
cultural agents, as an integral par
2 of the county program of worl
I through the farm bureau. 1t woulc
be impossible to over appraise thu
value of the start which has been Civ
en-, and which is being given, clul
5 work by Ohio county agents. The!
I start it right, not as a thing tacket
: on afterwards, but as a farm bureau
community project, as demonstration
i work.
ITO start it properly. however. AM
: to carry it over the first period of de
velopment is all, it seems to me whicl
properly can be expected of a count
agent. The work expands. Help be
comes necessary.
! At this writing there are som,

Ohio clubs. In proportion TO the mum

state the enrolment makes up but

one year of club training in farm am
