When l finished my 1921 year of
club work on Nov. / and sent in my
reports, thought might possibly
win some prizes in the county in one
Of the three projects I had completed,
but little did I think of winning state
championship. Therefore, imagine my
surprise when our county club leader,
A. A. Penn, telephoned me saying I
had won the state championship in
canning, which meant a free trip to
the International Stock show at Chi
cago. The expenses of this trip were
all paid by the Hazel-Atlas Co., which
in itself was most generous gift,
aside from the instruction and pleas
ure which was gained from it.
On Tuesday before Thanksgiving I
started from Forbes to make the trip
alone to Fargo, where we would leave
for Chicago. On reaching Glendale
I learned the trains would not make
connections and I was invited to re-
main with Mr.. and Mrs. Penn, where
I had a most enjoyable time until
Thursday morning, when I left over
the Milwaukee railroad for Fargo,
reaching there at z p. m. Of the same
day. I was met by Miss Dunno, as
sistant club leader, and by State Club
Leader Killing and wife. was very
pleasantly entertained at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Killing until the next
afternoon, which was Friday, when 1
left Fargo in company with Mr.. Ril-
ling, who was to chaperone the party.
We met the other winning club mem
bers on the train. Our number was
made up Of two girls and four boys
and by the time we reached the Min
nesota state line our journey was we'll
begun.
We arrived in Chicago Saturday
morning, where the girls stayed at
the New Southern hotel and the boys
at the Y. M. C. A. hotel.
Twenty-six states were represented
by $50 club members in the Boys and
Girls Club tour, so that alone was
quite sight. We made many friends
and acquaintance in Chicago whom
we shall always remember with pleas
ure.
On Sunday morning we divided into
two groups, one going to st. Mary's
church and the other to Orchestra
hall. In the afternoon some Of the
members went out to the live stock
show while others went to Lincoln
park, where we saw nearly every
specie Of animal and bird known. We
then went through the Art institute,
where we saw paintings and statues
Of ancient times.
In the evening all the club members
went to the Sunday Evening club,
where we enjoyed ourselves very
much.
Monday was international Livestock
Show day. The members all assem-
bled at the Y. NJ. C. A. hotel at $3.50
and left for the Livestock exposition
on a special train. We saw the stock
judging and all the grain and seed ex-
hibits. At 2 o'clock in the evening all
the club boys and girls from all over
the United States met at the Y. NJ.
C. A., where they had National Boys
and Girls club rally. The club mem-
bers from different states gave club
yells and songs and several demonstra-
tions were given.
Tuesday was Packing House day.
The members divided into four groups
and then went to the packing plants
of Swift, Armour, Wilson and Norris.
It was very interesting to go through
the packing houses and see how the
meat was prepared for market from
the time the animal was killed until it
was wrapped and ready for sale.
We had very nice luncheon at the
plant Of Norris & Co. We then went
to Wilson & Co.'s plant for dinner at
o'clock. We had a very nice dinner
and a fine program was given in honor
Of the club members. We then went
back to the international Livestock
exposition again that evening to see
the evening program. This was an in
teresting part Of the stock show.
Wednesday we went through the
new Field museum. This was one of
: the most interesting buildings we Wis
tied while in Chicago. There were all
species of mounted birds and animals
and all kinds of ancient relics and
weaponc. In the evening we went to
the theatre. The members all liked it
so we'll that they went to another show
the next night.
Thursday was the grand final day.
We went through the store of Mar
shall Field & Co., the largest store in
Chicago. Some Of the members Wis
tied the Mccormick Harvester Co.'s
plant, where they were served lunch
con. The club members were all leav-
ing for home the next day, so they
went back to the hotel to pack up.
