CLUB BOYS, CLUB GIRLS, MEET
US AT EMCAMPMENT
Say, club boys and club girls, meet
us at the county-wide encampment at
East Texas Fair Grounds next week
—Wednesday, August 81, Thursday
and Friday, September 1 and 2. This
paper is getting hold of so many good
things for our clubs for the coming
year that our Editor can hardly wait
to tell you about them. Of course,
most of you will be hearing the “call
of the cotton patch” next week—and
some of you will say to yourselves
that you can not afford to take any
time off and attend the County-wide
Encampment.- Here’s how to get
around that argument: Work a little
harder, a little earlier and a little
later, between now and then. After
you return home from the encamp-
ment we are sure that you will work a
little harder—and with a whole lot
more pep.
So you can afford to attend the en-
campment. You must invite your
friends and churns who are not club
members. The boys can invite their
friends and churns, and the girls can
invite theirs. Here is the reason for
that: The club work of the boys and
girls is just now really getting a good
start in Smith county. Smith county
has more members in her boys and
girls clubs than any other county in
East Texas—but by this time next
year we want Smith county to have
at least two to three times as many
“4-H” in designating the clubs is this:
now. So invite your friends who are
not club members. Tell them that ev-
ery one will be welcomed as royally
as the club members themselves. Ex-
plain to them that the meaning of
"4-H” is designating the clubs is this:
That every member of a club has
pledged himself or herself to culti-
vate and dedicate his (or her) Heart,
Head, Hand and Health to better and
more efficient service for home, com-
munity, country and God, to work
more efficiently for the better things
of life. (That's a fine purpose for
4-H club members, and others too, to
‘ have, isn't it?).
There are some fine things for us
fine things in our regular school work,
in our club work, in our home-study
work, and in all our relationships to
our hearts, our neighbors and our
fellowmen everywhere. Let us all
attend the county-wide encampment
and we can have a better idea of
what these fine things are; and, by
joining our thoughts and our efforts
together for the coming year, we can
work more effectively and have a bet-
ter. understanding of these fine and
useful tilings end the best way to ac-
complish them. Our Editor will have
something to tell you about these mat-
. ters when you come to the Encamp- | |
ment.
Look at the program for each of |
the three days. It appeared in last
week's papers, and you will find an |
outline in this issue. We are going
to have a good time at the Encamp-
ment. We will study some; we will
hear some good lectures, some of
them by men and women whose sole 1
occupation is working with club folk 1
In the Farm Extension Service of our
great A. & M. College, and some by
others who are the best friends that 1
the boys and girls have. And then 1
we are going to have some fine en- 1
tertainments by several clubs whose (
It is the wish of parents that their
children have good health—that they
may develop strong bodies as well as
active minds. There are the right
kinds of food for children, and the
wrong kinds. Fortunately, parents do
not have to experiment with their chil-
dren in order to learn the difference
between the proper and the improper
diets, because medical science has al-
ready made the discovery.
In listing the goods that make up a
health-giving diet for children, the
Texas Health Department places milk
at the head of the list.
The Health Department declares
that a general diet for children should
include from a pint to a quart of milk
of safe quality daily. Other items of
of the suggested diet are two vege-
tables each day, one of which should
be of the leafy variety; fresh fruit ev-
ery day if possible, and dried fruit on
days when no fresh fruit is given.
Cereals should also* be given once a
day with milk or cream, as well as
bread and butter sandwiches; soft
cooked eggs; very little sweets (none
between meals); very little meat; no
tea or coffee. :
Chemistry is “catching up” with
cotton, observes the National Indus-
tries New Bureau. The extraordi-
nary growth in the chemical manufac-
turing business of articles made from
cotton during the past twenty years
has constituted in the aggregate an
enormous expansion in American busi-
ness, the News Bureau points out.
- Some of the articles now being
made from cotton are toilet sets, eye
shades, fountain pens, frame specta-
cles, motion picture film, sporting
power, leather substitutes, poker
chips, automobile curtain windows,
washable window shades, rayon, fibre,
some types of dynamite, and Duco
finish, used for finishing automobiles
and furnitue and surgical and opti-
cal instruments.
IN MEMORY OF VESTER TAYLOR
He's not in the Sunday School;
Nor is he at home—
He’s not in the field at work,
For he has gone over there.
We miss him in our fun at school;
We miss him while in sorrow—
We miss him all the time,
For be has gone to Our Father.
We do not think of him as gone;
We only think of him as sleeping.
We do not wish him back with us,
For we know he is ever resting up
there.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY HAD
SOCIAL MEETING MONDAY
The ladies’ missionary society of the
Troup Methodist church had a social
meeting at the church Monday after-
noon. Fourteen women were present.
Mrs. J. C. McRae and Mrs. W. C.
Youngblood served refreshments, con-
sisting of ice cream and angel food
cake.
Bru TOPIC OF W. IL. necuUs
Starrville, August 23—“Budgets
and Money Values for the Home” was
the subject of study at the last meet-
ing of the local W. H. D. club, which
was held at the home of Mrs. Joe
Lowry. Several papers were read on
the topic and the discussions by other
members showed that all are giving
thought to this very important phase
of household management. Budget-
ing the household expenses is a mat-
ter that will add a measure of effi-
ciency and economy in the operation
of the home, according to the expe-
rience of many who are trying it.
The Club at this meeting also de-
cided to have another community ex-
hibit at the East Texas Fair this
year. Some time was spent by the
members in friendly conversation dur-
ing which the hostess served delight-
ful refreshments.
The next meeting of the Club will
be on Friday afternoon, Aug. 26, at
the home of Mrs. Will McNutt. It is
hoped to have a 100 per cent attend-
ance as we expect Miss Huffhines to
be with us then. *

Announcement appears in this Is-
sue that a School of Terracing will
be held at Bostick Switch on the Dixie
Highway, near Tyler, on Sept 5 and 6,
and that there is in sight a prospec-
tive attendance from some sever or
eight East Texas counties. This
school, as you will observe from read-
ing the notice mentioned, is to be a
practical school. Different kinds of
terracing levels will be shown and
their uses demonstrated. Terraces
will be laid out, and different kinds
of terracing-building machines and
ditchers will be shown in actual op-
eration. It is to provide plain, prac-
tical instructions, and is meant to aid
the land owner who has lands that
need to be terraced.
A. K. (Dad) Short, well known ex-
pert on land terracing and land con-
servation formerly with the A. & M.
College, will be present. Mr. Short
is now in the employ of the Federal
Land Bank of Texas. That institu-

TUNCTIONAL inactivity of the
T kidneys permits a retention of
waste poisons in the blood. Symp-
toms of this toxic condition are a
dull, languid feeling, drowsy head-

are not functioning as they should is
often shown by scanty or burning
passage of secretions. Many readers
have learned the value of Doan's
