THIS CLUB WORK PAYS.


ID. A. Stone, district club leader and
spent part of the day at the hiob
school selling" the club idea to the
garis and boys of Kamiah high. The
visiting girls told of the work be;no
done by the Nezperce club in SEWING
paking and canning, and Mr.. Stone
also gave a talk on the general fea.
lures OF club work, for boys as well
as girls. A paper was then passed
around among the girls of the high
school to sign up for membership, prac-
tieally all of them joining one Of the
three divisions. Seventeen took the
sewing section, nine baking and can.

Later Mr.. Stone hopes to get the
Kamiah boys interested in calf, pig
and poultry clubs We have one small
pig club in the valley now with four
members, but it should be much larger
and we hope the boys viii take hold
of the proposition when the call comes
again. VIM. E. Hamilton is the locaf
club leader.
Nezperce young people have been
interested in the club work for several
years, and it is quite the popular thing
up on the prairie. Several of the boys
have taken prizes at stock shows with
their pigs and calves and some who
have been in the club for several years
are now in the business of breeding
blooded stock on a commercial basis,
and making good. Two of the girls
who were here last week, Misses More
land and Roupe, were champion can
ming demonstrators of the ten counties
of North Idaho at the Lewiston rair.
There are some $50 boys and girls
enrolled in this work in Lewis counsyJ
and the Progress is hoping that Kar-
iah boys and girls may take lively
interest in it along with other paris
of the county.-Kamiah Progress.
It doesn t take lot of figuring to
ascertain that this club work on the
part of the young folks is in consider
able measure responsible for the i'm

Several years ago boys and girls
arm clubs were organized in Lewis
,ounty and interest in the work was
sept up and increased under the able
leadership of Miss Maude Near, who
leld the position of county club lead
r here for several seasons. After the
,ffice was finally dropped, for lack
f funds, the general interest Jagged
inf there were a few boys and girls
n this community who had gotten the
pirit of the thing and they kept
