DO 1T WITH A CLUB

Whether it is a baseball club, q
corn, calf, or canning club, pig,
potato oir poultry club, the boys
and girls are learning how easy it
is to do things through clubs.
They are learning early the value of
organization. Is this not promise
that the next generation of farmers
will know how to organize for sue
cess? One of the first activities Of
the new school year will be the
formation of clubs in thousands Of
country schools. The wise teacher
will encourage the movement know
ing it to be means Of promoting
regular attendance and increasing
the interest in school work. In ad-
dition to one or two of the clubs
mentioned every school should have
a School Improvement Club in which
the boys and girls can unite.

WHAT is REPUBLIcANIsMq

A political program in order to
win support, must always have q
certain clear cut policy. 1t must
be lucid and plain enough so that
the every day man can grasp it.
The great weakness of the Repub-
lican position is that no one can tell
what Republicanism is. 1t will prob
ably straddle the important issues
But even if it takes decided posi-
ton on any controverted question,
lit is likely to repudiate such plat
form pledges.
The Republican party today is the
most absurd hodgepodgc of conflict
i ing ideas that has called itself a
party in this country for many
years. 1t is split up into several
groups of extremists, and most Of
these extremists are more in SYM
pathy with the Democrats than with
the opposite wing of their own
party.
When a group of people having
very different ideas, but calling
themselves by one party name, get
together in Washington and UNI
1ertake to run a government, what
is the result? The result is that it
S almost impossible to get bust
less done. What one element ia
vors the other faction will oppose.
The machinery of lawmaking is
leadlocked, and the problems of the
country go unsolved.
The Democratic party is a mid
lie ground between extremes, sup
ported by great mass of people
of moderate views. 1t is not as
conservative as the standpatters of
the Republican party, nor as radical
as the Republican radicals. A party
Of that kind can agree on some posi-
tive policy and put it through. If
the Democrats win the next election,
they will put through program of
moderate reform. But if the Repub-
licans win, they will! not probably
accomplish much, because neither
one of it's factions will let the other
carry out it's programs.

Girls Bake Bread
Again This Year

Atlanta, Ga.--No rivalry between
young people who entered various
contests at the Southeastern Fair last
year was keener than that between
the girls Of the different counties in
the bread baking contest. The good
work Of the girls attracted the atten-
ton Of all classes of the visitors at
the Fair and the great interest arous
ed warrants the permanepce Of this
event as q feature Of the Fair.
Already the club girls Of the dis
tricts in the state have held competi
tive events to determine the repre-
sentatiYes to the state contest to be
held at the Fair on October II and
IL, and no doubt larger class will
contest for the distinction Of being
the best breadmakers In the state, and
incidentally, for the prizes offered.
The contest will not be open to the
girls who entered the 1922 contest or
to first year club girls. or to girls
from counties having less than 80
girls doing bread work
The team making the highest score
and the county Home Demonstration
Agent that trained the team will be
given a trip to Chicago to the Inter
national Live Stock Show in 1923.
This trip will be financed by the
Pillsbury Flour Mills, Of Minneapolis;
The National Cereal Laboratory, of
Washington, and other friends.
In addition to this the Southeastern
Fair will pay the expenses Of the
winning teams at the district contests
to the Fair Contest to a maximum of

BIENNIAL SESSIONS FAVORED

Opinion is growing stronger that
the Legislature ought not to meet
oftener than once in two years.
Only four states have annual ses-
sions. 1t looks as if the people will
force the Assembly to pass the bien-
NAL session bill next summer. It
will undoubtedly save the tax
payers a huge sum, as many bust
ness men Of the state point out.
There is much speculation in po-
litical circles over the promised ex-
ira session of the General Assembly.
In 1922, an income tax bill received
142 votes in House. This year, on
the only test vote taken, the income
takers had only 80 votes while the
opposition had 90. It will take 1873
votes to pass a constitutional amend
ment, and the old-time-s cannot fig
ure out where the friends Of the in
come tax will get the 40 extra votes
needed to pass an amendment.
When the members left here, it
was common talk among them that
if they were called back, they would
table the income tax measures again.
Governor Walker annouced in his
platform last August that he was
against an income tax. The follow
ers Of the late Senator Tom Watson,
and there are many of them in this
legislature, are true to their old
leaders teaching which was ever
lastingly against a state income tax.

rises in his own estimation who hopes
to be let down easy.
