WORTH WHILE PRIZES
EXPECTED TO AROUSE
CLUB WORK INTEREST

Prizes of S175 offered for corn club
members by the Richmond Young
from $25 down to IS for the state Duroc
from SIS down to for the state Duroc
pig club, in which all Wayne county
club members will be registered, and
similar prizes offered by the county
and township farm bureaus and the
breeders associations for pig, SOW and
litter, and dairy and beef calf clubs,
are expected to arouse a high degree
or interest in Wayne county club work
this year.
The registration in the SOW and lit
ter club is practically complete with
IL members, but many additional en-
rollments are expected in corn, pig
and calf clubs. A Jersey dairy calf
club has been promised for the Perry
township neighborhood and beef calf
club probably will be organized in
western Wayne county also.
Closing Dates
Dates for enrolling in pig and corn
club work close May Is, the time for
corn club enrolment having been ex-
tended. In spite of the liberal prize
offerings, enrollments have been slow,
and there is possibility of easy win
nings for the present members unless
they have more competition. In both
corn and pig clubs many more boys
and girls have shown a desire to enter
than have signed up SO far.
More liberal provisions are made
this year in state pig club work IN
stead of limiting entries to the pigs
which are given by lot to club mem
hers tho nora hare tuya Or
ditional pigs from any herd, including
their home herd, and register them.
Then at state fair time, the best of the
three is picked to show at the state
fair. This will remove the handicap
given some good club members who
may happen to be allotted a pig which
is inferior to another they may have
chance to secure 1t is probable that
the Poland China association will
make similar provision.
Prizes in State
Prizes in the state Duroc Jersey
club range from $25 down to the sew
enteenth prize of IS for the pigs; and
from SIS down to IS for the best
record books, for which eight prizes
are offered
A trip to the 1923 Purdue Roundup
in May is another inducement offered
in Webster township. Indiana club
boys and girls to the number of 1900
are even now enjoying the weeks &C.
tivities at Lafayette in reward for
their last years work, and Wayne
county leaders feel chagrined that this
county has no representative there it.

BILLY SUNDAY CLUB
COMING 300 STRONG

Evidence that the Billy Sunday club
of Charleston, w Va, is intending to

ship will fly to the United States
entirely under German respon-
sibility and manned by German
crew. 1t has not yet been decid-
ed, at this early stage Of the
project, whether any American
personnel will accompany the
Germans on their transatlantic
flight.
The new Zeppelin will require
a crew Of about the same number
as that which manned the R-38.
In this connection it is pointed
out here that large part Of the
United States naval department $
air personnel was lost in the az
cident to the R-38 while the Roma
disaster proved a similar loss to
the army's air forces. Thus
American manning of the new
ship will entail training OF an al
most entirely new crew.
No provision has been made IN
the contract for the United
States to share in the monetary
loss. should an accident occur to
the ship before delivery. Since
the Zeppelin takes the place OF
costs due the United States II

amount remains due until such
time as the ship is actually turn
ed over to the American govern
