POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
The News is authorized to announce
W. H. Matthews
as a candidate for the office of Treasurer
of Union County, subject to the action of
the Democratic primary.
True economy consists in getting
all one can use profitably, and in
using profitably all one gets.
A man lacking all attributes of
brilliancy will get along pretty well
if he has a fair share of sound com
mon sense.
The trouble with lots of people is
that they expect to set the world
on fire without either kindling wood
or matches.
A St. Louis woman wrote her will
in thirty-five words. Writing her
will and speaking her will are quite
different propositions, however.
Many a man is so tender-hearted
that he refuses to swat the mosqui
to because he hates to lay violent
hands on his own flesh and blood.
People may sympathize with a
man who a few times in a life time
makes a fool of himself, but never
with one who insists on giving a
continuous performance.
Woman have always been more
intrepid then men. Frinstance, in
California the other day a couple
was divorced. The woman was
remarried within a few minutes.
The man waited a couple of days.
Typewriter factories in the East
are said to be converting their
shops into shrapnel plants. If
some of them make no better amu
nition than they have made type
writers we pity the soldier who has
to use it.
What has become of the old
fashioned boy who would work all
afternoon at the woodpile for a
dime and not turn up his nose at a
nickel for spending money? Prob
ably wondering how he can raise
the price of a box of coffin nails.
The value of the automobile in
dustry in America should not be
overlooked. In the year ending
June 30, 1915, there were manu
factured in this country 703,000
motor vehicles valued at $523,
463,803. This is an advance of
36 per cent in the number of cars
and more than 10 per cent in the
value over the figures of the previ
ous year. I

Notice.
The Union Saw Mill Company

ber of said Company.

Eight Studies In Education
Through Club Activities.
EDITOR'S NOTE.
The Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Arkansas, in co-operation
with tiie United States Department of
Agriculture, will offer this year,
through this paper, a free correspond
ence course in "Boys’ and Girls' Club
Work.” consisting of eight lessons or
articles under the editorship of Mr. W.
J. Jernigan, in charge of demonstra
tion club work for Arkansas. These
lessons will appear in this paper at
intervals of six weeks. Those who
wish to take this course should write
to the Director of Extension Work,
University of Arkansas, Fayetteville,
stating name, age, occupation, and a
word about his (or her) general edu
cation, and stating that he (or she)
proposes to carry the work through
for the eight lessons. A farmers' bul
letin will be sent to supplement lesson
No. 1. and later for each lesson if the
question blank be returned for the
preceding lesson. These blanks will be
sent with each bulletin. The lessons
on Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work will
consist of the following: (1) Educa
tional Value of Club Study.” (2) "Prin
ciples of Corn Growing for Boys’
Clubs,” (3) "Fundamentals of Can
ning," (4) "Science of Growing Pigs,”
(5) "Some A B C's on Poultry Growing,"
(6) “Primary Pules of Cotton Grow
ing.” The next two lessons will con
sist of definite suggestions for the
club work. Extra proof sheets for
each lesson will be kept for those who
may decide later to undertake the
course. It Is hoped that several hun
dred teachers and others interested in
work for the boys and girls will take
this course.—J. H. Miller, Director Co
operative Extension Work.
I. Educational Value of Club Study.
Education has been defined as “that
training which fits for the duties of
life.” If this is a true definition of
education, and we certainly believe it.
Is, and if it can be shown that the
club work in any way flt3 the boys
and girls for their duties in life, then
it must be conceded that there Is an
educational value in the club work.
Corn Club boys are instructed per
conally and through bulletins and let
ters in the matter of il) Selecting
their acre tor demonstration. (2) the
value and importance of sowing a win
ter cover crop on this acre, (3) the
proper methods and value of prepar
I mg seed beds, (4) the selection, stor
ing and testing of seed corn, (5) the
proper methods of planting and culti
vation, (6) the keeping of daily ex
pense account of all work performed
on his acre, (7) the submitting of this
record at the end of the year, (8) and
finally is asked to make an exhibit of
nis products at the fairs.
In the study and practice of the
above instructions the boy is the prin
cipal actor, and his stage of action is
his acre of corn. His acre of corn
may be likened to Jjis laboratory and
the daily practice of application of the
principles taught him, are the experi
ments or tests that he makes, and the
fact that during the last two years
| the Corn Club boys have made an
average yield of over forty bushels

per acre as compared with an average
of less than twenty for the whole state
is proof positive that the principles
taught were not only safe and sound,
but hat they found daily application
through the boy on his acre of corn
laboratory. In the performance of all
these activities or duties the boy is
caused to think, plan and reason from
year to year as he makes different
tests on different soils or in different
laboratories. All of this will give a
training which will fit him for his du
ties in life because he has learned "to
do by doing.” He has used mother
earth as his laboratory, has learned
her principles, and has applied them.
What has been said of the Corn
Club boy is also true of the Pig Club
boy. In fact the Pig Club member is
usually a Corn Club member too. The
PigfClub boy has for his laboratory
the pig. and the tests that he makes
are his daily care and the feeding of
his pig. He learns, as one pig club
member said in reply to a question as
to what he had learned that would
help him next year, "that clear water
to drink, good pasture the year round,
plenty of shade and a little corn
makes good cheap hogs, and further j
that these things are mighty good to
keep off cholera." He learns what a
balanced ration is and the value there
of. He plans his crop to meet these '
needs., Doubtless he wonders if his
body too does not call for a balanced
food. Dealing with animals usually
makes one 'kind and sympathetic. His
efficiency as a producer of wealth is
increased as a result of the applica
tion of the proper methods of feeding
and caring for his pig. He, too, has
learned "to do by doing.”
The Canning and Poultry Clubs of
fer at once a profitable and pleasura
ble livelihood for girls. The Canning
Club girl has for her laboratory her
one-tenth acre. She Is taught how to
plan this garden, how to prepare the
hot beds, the birth place of the little
plants, how to feed and care for the
little plants until they are old enough
to put into the field, how to cultivate
the plants on up to maturity, how to
fight the common diseases and in
sects, and finally how to can and pre
serve the products of her garden. In
all of this work from the beginning
of the sowing of the seed up to har
vesting and canning of the products
the girl has been the chief operator; ,
her hands have been busy day after
day hoeing, pruning, harvesting and
canning. Tills work is done in the
open; she therefore develops a sound
oody; she enjoys her work because it
is hers: her hands have done the
work; her interest is in her garden,
and her aim is to produce a product of
high quality and thus maintain the
Pour H brand standard.
