After the program we were takeI
on a tour of the packing plant where
we saw the killing, dressing, inspec.
ton, sorting, canning, and storing Of
| the meats.
We were entertained at luncheon al
| the Chicago Athletic Club as the
guests of the Chicago Livestock Elk
change. From the luncheon the boys
were taken for tour of the Field
Museum of Natural History, while
the girls visited the Chicago Institute
of Arts.
At $50 we assembled at the an
nual All Club banquet in the Grand
Ball Room of the Sherman Hotel.
Mr.. George e. Farrell of the United
States Department of Agriculture act
ed as POSTMASTER Mr.. Farrell won
the favor of all the group by his won
derful spirit and hearty good nature.
George Hull Porter, of the Chicago
Association of Congress, gave the ad-
dress of welcome. He told us that
the greatest sight in Chicago was not
the growing sky line, the towering
building of stone and mortar, but the
great mass of school children, for
they had made Chicago what it is and
will make it what it is to be.
Mrs. Chester Sewell, chairman of
the Home and Community Department
of the American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON, gave a wonderful message
and appealed to the boys and girls
through her charming personality and
method of talking. Mrs. Sewell men,
toned several things that club boys
and girls should not be negligent OF.
These were good English, their par
ents, courtesy and politeness to elders,
and sympathy for Gods lowly crea-
lures.
James Speed, editor of the South
ern Agriculturist," spoke to us on the
topic of Keep Your Eyes Open"
The next thing on the program was
the All Club Style Show, supervised
by Miss Spencer of Cornell University.
The representatives of each state ap-
peared on the platform in two diff
ferent costumes, and the winners were
later placed in order of their placings.
When Athelene Scheid came in, rep
resenting Minnesota, Miss Spencer
said, "And here is Miss Minnesota.
Doesn't she look just like school, and
all ready for business?" The Mime
sofa delegation cheered heartily to see
Athelene placed high in the final
Judging.
The Health contestants were anxious
to hear how they had Jared and each
state delegation was equally anxious
to learn whether or not they could
claim the Health Champions. Miss
Alberta Hoppe of Iowa, and Miss
Janet Rushing of Mississippi, tied as
National Health Champions with
score of 9S.6, and Warner Griffen of
Kentucky, was declared King of
Health, with score of 96.6.
Another interesting award that was
being looked forward to was the win
ner of the Moses Memorial trophy,
awarded annually to the boy or girl
making the best record in the leader
ship project. Twice the cup had gone
to Oklahoma, once to boy and once
to girl. This year the trophy was
awarded to Kenneth Hinshaw of
Washington. When the group dis
banded the Texas delegation stood at
the door and presented the delegates
from the other states with cotton balls
and small jars of preserved figs.
Tuesday evening it was hard to quiet
down as everyone was so excited and
busy talking about the wonderful time
they had had and about the prize

guides and ushers conducted us on a
tour through their extensive mail or
der department. They fill over thirty
thousand orders daily, and one is i'm
pressed at the high rate of speed at
which all the employees work.
An excellent program was furnished
by employees of the company and we
were all delighted to again see the
ten highest scoring All Club Health
girls in play put on under the di-
rection of Miss Coon of the National
Dairy Council. Montgomery Ward &
Company had generally furnished the
railroad fare for trip to the Con-
gress for one girl from each state in
the Union, and at the program that
