BEARD S community
agricultural club
One hundred and fifty citizens;
of the Beard’s Church commu-l
nity met at Beard’s Church last j
week and organized the Beard’s;
Church Community Agricultural j
Club. A meeting had been held |
two weeks previously and this |
big turn-out was the result of a
call then made to get together
and profit by co-operative effort.
gr. W. A. White was elected
President and Mr. J. W. Mc
Daniel Secretary. After the or
ganization the club immediately
got busy on the hog cholera ques
tion. Messrs. R. P. Ford and W.
A. White were elected to vaccin
ate hogs for the members at such
compensation as shall be agreed
upon between them and the hog
owners. The subject of clovers
was generally discussed and much
valnnhlp information disseminat- 1
ed anent this i mportan tcrop. Mr. j
G. G. Strickland, County Agent, j
was present and participated in
the work of organizing.
While the men were organizing
the ladies of the communinity,
with Miss Ruth Anderson, Coun
ty Domestic Science Agent, were
just as busy planning for co
operation in bettering home con
ditions. It was not decided wheth
er to act as an auxiliary to the
Agricultural Club or form a sep
arate organization. But the la
dies did decide to hold a big can
ning demonstration in the near
future, date to be announced.
Miss Anderson and Mr. Strick
land are planning to procure the
organization of at least six such
community clubs, with delegates
sent to regular meetings of a
contral body with county-wide
jurisdiction.

EVERY CENT given to the RED CROSS—the Cross of
Humanity—will be spent to ease the suffering of torn
and bleeding American boys—our boys and our neighbor boys.
The Red Cross will take your place
at the bedside of your wounded son.
If stricken down on, the field of
battle his agony will be relieved by cooling draughts of
water from a Red Cross canteen. Tender Red Cross hands
will carry him to a comfortable, protected Red Cross Hospi
tal, where trained American Red Cross nurses will watch
over and-care for him.
