FIVE HUNDRED WOMEN ATTEND
SHORT COURSE

More than six hundred rural wo-
men, 464 of whom were registered
for the entire week, attended the
sixth annual Rural Women's Short
Course at the University OF Mary
land, June 18 to %.
The attendance was well beyond
that of former years and several OF
the larger fraternity houses near the
campus in addition to allavailable
dormitory space were required to
provide necessary rooming quarters.
The courses Of instruction during
the week covered such general sub
jects as foods and nutrition, cloth
ing. household management, house
furnishings, landscape gardening,
home dairying, poultry, health, par
liamentary law and citizenship. In
addition. there were numerous spe-
cial lectures and demonstrations on
subjects which the women found
helpful.
The outstanding features OF the
week, perhaps. were the special ex-s
ercises on Thursday when the title
of Master Farm Homemaker was
conferred on three rural women in
recognition Of their domestic accom-
plishments, and somewhat similar
ceremonies on Friday when fifty-four
received certificates for their faith
full attendance at the Short Course
during four years. As9 -
Mrs. Annette w. Smith, Westmin-
ster; Mrs. Chester r. Hobbs, Mt.
Airy, and Mrs. L. A. Sutton, Ches-S
tertown, were the wome nto receive
the Master Farm Homemaker hon
ors. They had been nominated for
the honor by five Of their neighbors
and were finally selected by COM
mittee on the basis OF thei ranswers
to more than i've hundred questions.
The title was conferred by the Farm
er's Wife, national farm women's
magazine, in cooperation with the
Home Demonstration Department of
the University Of Maryland. Miss
Leonore Dunnigan, representing the
Farmers Wife, presented gold pins
emblematic OF the honor.
Another event that aroused much
interest during the week was the
two dallar dress review. Fifteen
counties had three representatives
each in the review and the dresses
shown represented the best from
more than 1,100 that had been
made. Cost of the dresses shown
from $1.25 to S2.OO, but
would have sold at retail up to S25.
1t is said by Miss Helen Shelby, clo-
thing specialist for the University OF
Maryland Extension Service.

Though Lenaburg started in as a
kid outfleldcr in 1912, he hasn't been
a gardener all his life. He has
played every position on the dla-
mond.
Louis started baseball in southern
Minnesota and Iowa. where he spent
his boyhood days. He played mostly
in the district Of Waterloo, Cedar
Rapids, and Nintcn between 1912
and 1917. when he entered the army.
During those five years, he pitched
mostly. In the army he pitched over
so games.
Pitching a doublcheader for q
base hospital team at Saveney,
France, Louie threw out his arm and
had to give up pitching.
Went to Oklahoma
Leaving the army, the big fellow
went to Oklahoma in 1920 and 1921.
He played semi-professional ball all
over that state and also in Texas
and New Mexico.
Lenaburg's best game was record
ed when he was playing with Gin
ton against Cordell, Okla, Lis Smith
who had just been released by the
Philadelphia Athletics. was pitching
for Cordell. Connie Mack, Athletic
manager, had said that Smith had
a million dollar arm and glass
head. Indy got two homers and
double that day.
In 1921 Lenaburg. playing with
Clinton, faced Pete Donohue, then
pitching for Baylor University.
Texas. Donohue is now playing a
big part with the Cincinnati Ma
tionals, league leaders. Lenaburg
made one hit in four trips to the.
plate that game.
Came to North Dakota
In 1924, Oklahoma climate forced
Lenaburg to move to North Dakota
where he secured a position with the
u. S. Veterans Bureau. During the
summer Of 1924. he went on a hit
