by interbreeding they are likely to

NEW YORK, Dec. For the

So asserts Robert Herrick, for

thorship published in the current
issue of The Bookman.
To-day youth means largely fe-
male youth, so far as writing goes,"

BN United Press
KANSAS CITY, Dec. mo
work-no-eat" rule has ended the
popularity of the Kansas City mu-
nicipal farm at Leeds, as winter
haven.
Those days in which prisoners
caused themselves to be sent to the
farm for the winter in order to
have place to eat and sleep passed
this year, and the reason is the
requirement that the prisoners must
work if they expect to eat.
In other winters, the number of
inmates at the farm has totaled
approximately 200, but so far this
year the number has never gone
above 100.
The reason, James j. O'Rourke,
superintendent, declares, is that
the rock quarry, roads and coal pile
require too much work.
If any one shirks, he is taken
separate table and denied food the
others are given.

CLUB MEMBERS WIN
STATE FAIR TRIP
County Agent Sheldon AnnOunc-
es Names of All Club Win
ners Who Make Trip.

The winners of trips to the Farm
Boys Camp at the State Fair for
1928 have just been announced. Their
placing has been based on their ac-
complishments in Boys and Girls Club
Work during the past few years.
These boys will be the county rep
resentatives at the Farm Boys Camp,
which has charge of the ushering in
the grand stand at the State Fair.
Alfred Werner, Wabasso, and Will
lard Lord, Walnut Grove, both con-
testants in the baby beef contest, and
William was also in the corn club
contest, were tied for an excellent
score at the boys and girls club camp
at the County Fair in 1927, each re-
ceiving medals for high honors.
The alternates for these boys in
case they cannot attend for any rea-
son are Ralph Omtvedt, Belview, in
the bee club and Leadership projects,
and Howard Ballard, Wabasso, in the
colt club work. He was also enroll
ed in the pig club work, but lost his
pig in the early part of the feeding
period.
These boys are to be especially
commended upon their winnings of
this outstanding trip. The Farm
Boys Camp is considered one of the
finest trips that can be awarded to
any boy, where all expenses are paid,
including meals and lodging. Boys
for this camp must be 16 years of
age or over because of the fact that
they have a real responsibility to
carry out in the interests of the State
Fair Association.
Undoubtedly these boys will do an
excellent job in the work that will be
asked of them according to the re-
cords which they have made for them
selves in ushering in the grandstand
and at the club camp at the County
Fair.
