CLUB WORK in COUNTY HAS
RECEIVED GREAT IMPETUS;
PROSPECT FOR 1928 GOOD

Club work i'm Carter county has re-
ceivad wonderful impetus during the
past year, and prospects for 1928 loom
large on the horizon at the present time.
Active clubs have been organized in
many OF the rural communities. and it
| is the purpose Of the home demonstra-
tor Mrs. Minnie B. Church, to have the
county completely covered in the coming
year
The work of club members has been
demonstrated on many occasions, but
never to greater advantage than at the
county fair where their extensive ex.
hibits created more favorable comment
than any other displays shown, and
not only at the county fair, but at the
state fair at Oklahoma City, and the
Muskogee free state fair
To Improve Conditions
The whole purpose of the clubs is to
| show, and give the neighborhood the
feeling that they were not merely Slip
! ping aimlessly along, but to make ru.
raj life more attractive and especially
interesting to the younger generation,
who eventually must take up the bur-
den of farm life where their parent
leaves it off.
Every phaze Of club work has streng-
thened the organizations, and has been
OF material value not only to members,
but to the entire community
To the activities Of rural boys and
girls clubs must be added the work
accomplished by the womens farm
clubs, in connection with them, instead
of bearing all the burden of this great
farm work, the boys and girls have
had a faithful ally in the women's
clubs, who have helped to surmount
many difficulties i'm the work and made
1t easier for the younger generation to
comprehend the task before them, with
the result that where ever an active
club is at work the results obtained are
easily disccrnable. and the community
spirit engendered has worked wonders
for the betterment Of all.
Making Life Better
Thinking women in rural communities
everywhere are obtaining a greater sci
entific knowledge of how to cloth and
feed the family, and from this know
ledge through club work are making
| farm life more attractive than ever be-
| fore. This phase OF the work alone is
doing "A lot toward keeping the young
| people happy and coutented in the
rural communities.
The work has infected the Indian
citizens Of the county who are now
supporting several active clubs. and
tnr work that tho1 have accomplished
i'm the past few years under the direc-
ton Of the field agent, the home dem
onstrator and from the women's clubs
in the community whore they reside,
has been most remarkable.
i The annual exhibit shown by Indian
farmers and Indian women of the farms
mt the county fair. and Mt the state
fairs demonstrates that they are taking
more than "A passing interest in the
work and in many instances their dis
plays have been such as to create envy
i'm the breast of many Of their white
neighbors.
Mrs. Church Encouraged
Mrs. Minnie Il. Church, county home
demonstrator, who has done 30 much
toward organizing the clubs and better.
ing conditions among farm women of
he county feels greatly encouraged
ivor work done in the past, and has
lopes that within the newt year, she
will be able TO report every rural com.
nmity organized and an active club
in charge. In this she is ably assisted
10y the farm agent o. l.. Putnam, who
is an ardent club supporter and who is
thoroughly versed in all that takes TO
MAKE this work successful.
1t is not all work with the club mem.
bers throughout the county, although
members do not let the season pass
without taking advantage of every op.
portunity To produce a good crop, but
with cares for the time laid aside, the
summer camp at oil Springs offers a
fw days diversion that is the greatest
