Franklin Co. Farm
Bureau Establishes
Membership Record

In the matter of membership the
Franklin County Farm Bureau has
established a record which the off,
Gals say has never been equalled IN
this, and perhaps not by any county
in the United States. During the past
year but 20 men and SO women have
failed to renew their membership.
There has also been a very large ad-
dition of new members. The total
membership last year was 5S7, and at
the present time the membership is
1888, including PSI men and 532 wo-
men. Plans are under way for in
creasing the membership to 1000 or
more the coming year, and it is be-
lieved that this can be done.
Miss Louise Quincy, home dem
onstration agent of the Franklin
County Farm Bureau, will conduct
two millinery conferences with the
millinery instructors OF the various
communities, the entire county haV-
ing been divided into two parts. The
communities in the southern part OF
the county having had training
classes in millinery will meet at the
Farm Bureau Office in this village,
Saturday. August %, and those in the
rest of the county will attend a SIM
liar meeting, Tuesday August 81. The
blocking of felt hats, new subject
in this county, will be taken up this
fall, instruction in this subject being
given by Miss Helen Spaulding, the
new state clothing specialist. Styles
in fall hats will also be discussed,
both with regard to frames and trim
ming, and samples of new hats, ma
terials. frames and trimmings will
he rboU,p If is expected that every
community having Farm Bureau
branch, will be represented at one OF
these conferences. The first of a

MT, VERNON FARM BUREAU

The Mt Vernon Farm Bureau will
start a brand new wrinkle in auto
tours, Tuesday. August II, when
they will combine a dairy tour and
a barn meeting on the same trip.
They plan to get together at tue
farm of the local Farm Bureau
chairman, j. H. Blanchard, at one
o'clock that afternoon and visit some
of the leading herds in town. At
one of the stops the barn meeting
will be held.
Richard T. Talbot, Extension Dairy
Specialist, will have charge of the
barn meeting, the first to be held in
Mt. Vernon. But it will be just like
the barn meetings which have been
so successful in other parts of the
State where they have been held to
forward the better bull campaign.
Mr.. Talbot will attend a meeting at
the home of w l.. Spaulding. Bel
grade that evening and give an adj
dress on dairy feeding.
Mt. Vernon has very active
Farm Bureau local. Last year they
increased their membership from 35
to Sc, and they have been conduct
ing a good program of work during
the year. Two progressive Mt. Ne!-
non farmers F. w. Foss and viii
Parlin have recently bought better
bulls.
The Mt Vernon poultry club held
their August meeting Wednesday of
this week. o. NJ Wilbur, Extension
Poultry Specialist, was present and
gave demonstration in Gambling
eggs and lecture on producing
quality eggs. The discussion after
the meeting turned to the subject of
disease control, and one lady re-
marked that the information she Sc
cured regarding coccidiosis alone
more than repaid her for attendance.
The poultry club has accepted the
invitation of the Fayette Poultry
Club to attend the poultry field dav
at the Milo Hubbard Farm in Fay-
cite, FRIDAY, September 10.

POULTRY DEMONSTRATION

o. M. Wilbur, extension poultry
specialist, will be at the home of Mr.
Jewett on the Cathance road in
Topsham, Aug. Is, at 10 A. NJ, to
give demonstration on how to kill
and pack poultry for market. 1t is
hoped many will be present.
The primary object of this is to
teach the people the proper method
of sticking for ease of dry picking
the birds. However, at the same
time these birds are sent to market
a corresponding number of live birds,
from the same flock will be sent ITO
the same firm. The object of this
is to show whether it pays to dress
the birds before shipping. Generally
the difference in returns gives one
ample pay for time spent in dress
ing and packing the birds.

Helpful Hints Sent In
By Journal Readers

Put the furnished silver into a
pan, cover it with thick sour milk
and let it stand for half an hour.
1t only needs washing to make as
bright as a new dollar. Every little
crevice or places hard to get at are
as bright as the rest, and it does
not wear the silver as much as
securing.
When ironing, stand on a soft
thick rug, and you will notice that
your feet do not become so tired

Will Add Motorcop
ToTown's Law Force

Something new will adorn the
police court docket of the city OF
Winslow in a short time, when the
newly made office of motor cop is
filled. This office was established
by the council at their first meet
ing Tuesday, and as soon as mo-
torcycle can be obtained, the work
of rounding up speeders and their
like will start.
Ordinary crimes, it is believed
will be completely outnumbered by
more modern offenses. 1t was
pointed out that speeders use Wins
low streets practically unmolested
and that the speed cop will boost
the city's revenue from fines, and
at the same time make the streets
safe for pedestrians
In order that the new officer will
not have to give up the chase at
the city limits, he will be made
both a city officer and deputy
sheriff, and his activities will cover
many miles of county roads, al
though he will be stationed in
WinSlOW.

A LARGE NUMBER
ATTEND OPENING
NEW CITY LIBRARY

A large number of interested
residents attended the opening OF
the new city library at the City
Hall last Friday afternoon from
two to five o'clock, when the re-
Gently completed reference and fic-
ton collection was presented fol
inspection by the Winslow Wo-
mans club, under whose direction
the library has been progressing
and who have made it possible that
WinsloW may now have more than
500 collected volumes, which are
to receive additions.
The library has been made pos
sible by the drive sponsored by
the club, and literally responded
to with donations by local residents
and the energetic and sincere work
of the club members, who are de-
veloping funds, with which to add
new numbers to the collection.
Books as presented for the pub
lie, at the opening last Friday,
have been arranged as to authors
and titles as near as possible, while
a complete and very modern Dewey
Decimal filing system has been in
stalled, in order that confusion and
added work may be eliminated. A
membership card, at the cost of 81
per year may be secured by all
residents of Winslow, which en-
titles the holder or any member of
his or her family the use of any
volume in the collection. The
number of books to be taken from
the library at one time, however,
has been limited to one.
Children are allowed the same
privilege as parents, and if at a
later date, the demand should deem
it necessary, special cards will be
prepared, since it is planned to
specialize in books for the yunger
people.
Just at present it is planned to
add twenty-five books, including
the latest fiction, to the collection,
while new volumes will be added
from time to time, as the commit
tees find 1t possible to do so.
Material and circulars from the
agricultural department Of the
University of Arizona will be filed
and available at all times.
The libary hours, for three days
week have been announced by
the committee, who also state that
if the demand becomes greater and
will warrant their doing so, more
open hours will be added and an
nounced at later date At pres
ent the committee, composed of
Mesdames Frank Farnsworth, G. B.
Henderson and Horace Evans, will
have the library open on Tuesday

WINSLOW SCOUTS
RECEIVE HIGH
MERIT BADGES

For bravery, quick thinking and
quick action in living up to his
Scout duties and saving the life
of Miss Marjorie Seleen, at Clear
Creek last May, Parr Lancaster,
Eagle Scout of Winslow, this week
was awarded the highest honor
that can be accorded a Scout by
the National Council, when Robert
H. Waldraven, Scout Executive Of
the Grand Canyon Council, pre-
sented him with a National Certi-
ficate of Honor during the Rotary
session Wednesday.
Executive Waldraven made brief
presentation address in which he
explained what the award means
to not only Lancaster, but to Wins
low and Grand Canyon Council and
Scout Lancaster replied with a
short word of appreciation explain
ing that he not only considered it
an honor to receive the award but
felt proud that he had received the
Scout training which enabled him
to think and act when a life had
been in danger.
Following the award to Lancas-
ter Executive, Waldraven presented
the Eagle Scout badge to Scout
George Jackson of Winslow, who
is the seventh Scout here to re-
ceive such a we'll earned reward
from the National Council. Scout
Jackson said he was proud to have
ATTAINED this degree and hoped to
earn further merits in Scoutdom.
A brief explanation of the sum-
mer camp was given by Executive
Waldraven, who asked that every
Rotarian do his best to have every
Scout in Wnislow attend.
The Rotarians heard fine talk
on the schools and their present
day detectives by DR.. Fenton of
Tempe Teachers College, who was
here as the guest of Prof. G. H.
Madden, having come here to de-
liver the Commencement address.
With Clyde Matthie as chairman,
the Rotarians enjoyed fine pro-
gram, Sam Proctor giving COM
prehensive review of the road sit
uation as far as Northern Arizona
and the Old Trails is concerned,
particularly with respect to Wins
lows position, and this led up to
further discussion as to formation
of an active chamber of commerce
when A. J. Renaud and A B. Nell
son took up the lead resulting in
the mass meeting held Wednesday
night at which the chamber was
formed, fuller report to be found
in another column of this issue of
