ter into several other activities.
! During the year four regular coun-

selves. Livestock and poultry pro-
ject tours, in which club members
visit each others project, play an
important part in the boys CLUB

livestock judging team which COM
petes at the Tucson Livestock

livestock Show. Other judging
contests are held at the County
All Club Fair, Arizona State Fair,

cub activities, including contests
neld at the University of Arizona
it was not until 1884 that a fair
was held. This first fair, though
not as extensive as are the fairs
which are now hell, was brought
about largely through the efforts
of Harvey Tyson, Who was at that
time All Club leader and teacher
in the Florence public schools.
Success of the first fair in bring
ing All Club Members and par
ents together resulted in estab-
fishing the annual All club fair
as a regular institution, and with

What History Teaches

Practically everything that is happen
ing to us today happened to others III some
form thousands Of years ago-according
to the psychologists who found the rec
ords on clay tablets, baked 5000 years
ago. or to the historians who began to
write some $500 years later.
They tell us about sit-down strikes,
hours of labor, slavery bonuses, collective
bargaining, cost Of living. old-age pen
sions, silver standards crooked politl-
clans, Women's rights and in the Bible
itself we have the story Of Egypt's seven
years of plenty, and seven years Of de-
preston with bread lines and food
commissioner.
During all Of these experiences pana-
ceas were suggested to meet the prob
lens of the times. Some Of them work
ed out, but many failed It's strange
thing that some deluded leaders are to-
day offering the same old quack remedies
that were tried and failed in the days
when they had to be written with point
ed stirks instead of with typewriters.
But it is still more remarkable that
plans and principles which proved to be
basically sound are being disregarded
today. We have learned that Dictator
ships and autrocracies are not conducive
to the freedom and happiness Of the
whole people; that the character of
nations greatness is determined by the
character of it's individual citizens; that
no question is ever settled permanently
except upon the basis of justice; that
right human relationships are more inn
portant than the creation of great orga-
nizations; that the source Of happiness
depends not SO much upon what we have
as it does upon what we are.
These and many other things which
history has taught us may be applied to
problems facing us today They may be
applied to personal relations, to the Ia
Dor problem, to national questions, and to
international affairs Therefore, let's
stop looking for short cuts and patent
remedies, and let's profit by what history
taught us thousands of years ago.

defines the powers Of the government it
Self, making the peoples liberties secure
against oppression from every source
The first ten amendments to the Con-
stitution are known as the Bill of Rights.
It is the purpose Of the Bill of Rights to
restrict national power, SO that these
rights should not be taken away from
the people. Their main purpose IS TO
give the people authority to maintain
their natural rights. Certain restrictions
are placed upon citizens for various rea-
sons. especially in some States, but in no
case may the Federal government estab-
lish such restrictions merely upon the ba-
sis of color, and, by another amendment,
State governments are similarly restrain
ed
The Bill Of Rights includes such prln-
ciples as freedom Of religion, freedom oi
speech freedom of the press, the rghl
of the people to peaceably assemble, ana
the right to petition the Government tor
a redress Of grievances; the right OF the
people TO be secure in their persons,
houses, papers, and effects and against
unreasonable searches and seizures.
Jefferson and Franklin believed sucn
rights "came from the Creator and that
they are derived from the laws OF the
universe ITSELF Only in lands where
liberty has been crushed is that belief
outlawed. This desire for freedom IS IN
herent in man. Patrick Henry's declara-
ton Give me liberty or give me death
finds an echo in every true mans heart.
tt Is this for which America made its su-
RENE fight in its beginning, and it is for
this that people will continue to fight un-
til they shall achieve that freedom which
will give them the fuller life they desire,
the hunger for which is planted in every
mans heart by the Creator.

Leadership

Where is the man, who looking out up
on the suffering masses, has not felt the
urge to answer the call for leadership?
Today, more urgent than ever, comes the
demand for true although not titular
leaders. To what does it avail us to
gain the respect of man by mere title
alone2 You and you and you, no mat
ter how obscure you may SEEM rise up
and take your stand for justice
Tc die for a cause that is lost must be
death without resurrection. To die a
martyr holds its appeal to real leaders in
the fact that. death brings light to the
Worthiness of great cause.
There are some individuals who pre-
tend to be our leaders. Withdrawing
themselves to an ivory tower, they look
down upon man and pour out IN unde-
served criticism upon them. TO really
understand life we must dwell among
the living. If men were made to live
alone God would not have created .soci-
