greater ef iciency on the farm and in the home as well as training for good citizenship walk of life The National Boys and Girls Club News quotes President Coolidge in accepting honorary chairmanship of the National Committee of and Club work as saying is of the utmost importance there fore that we all take an active in terest in the dubs to which the farm boys and girls belong I have been personally interested in the growth of these clubs and their present membership of over 700000 a is a source of great satisfaction to me We must double and treble this num ber for there are 8000000 children on the farms of this country ably no activity is of more impor tance to the future standing pros perity and social position of agricul ture than the and arm clubs The activities warrant the belief that they will greatly aid in the solution of many of the problems of farm life and it gives me great pleas ure to accept the honojary chairman ship of the National Committee of and club When the president of the United States speaks so complimentary about dub work and every eligible boy and girl should feel honored to be long to this great organization hav ing for its purpose the training of the head heart hand and health that life may be of the greatest ser vice of Entertains Clubs Ross county agent of Shelby county Texas said at the recent meeting of county agents at College that the Chamber of Commerce and business men of Center Texas had entertained three hundred club boys and girls in annual encampment on the court house square in Center the towns people taking the boys and girls into their homes at night and entertaining them free of charge the ailed Director Walton of the Ex tension Service of the A and College of Texas said in introducing Judge Hayne Nelms of Groveton to the Conference of Extension Staff during one of the meetings last week that Judge Nelms had always been a friend to the Extension Service even when extension work was not so popular as it is now but Mr Walton said that the thing which had been of most help to him was Judge daily life worthy the emulation of any citizen and adding that has never failed his com munity in any worthy Certainly no greater tribute could be paid any man than to say as Mr Walton said of Judge Nelms has never faled his community in any worthy Most peo ple can claim service in harness for the greater part of their lives The trouble is that we are credited with not always pushing against the col lar in but are so often guilty of wearing out the back In his reply to Mr reference to a time when extension work had not been popular Judge Nelms said that no great ideas or ideals had ever at first been popular "He Did are thousands to tell you it cannot be done There are thousands to prophesy i failure There are thousands to point out one by one The dangers that wait to assail you But just buckle right in with a bit of grin Just take off your coat and go to it Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing Which cannot be done and do Exchange There is more truth than poetry in the litle verse quoted and it is applicable not only to club members but to all alike POPULAR COMMON SENSE PRICES Dr rapk Crane said recently complaint that her work is never done and that things will not stay clean is a complaint against life The housewife is the most tireless worker in the whole world and if she combines with that the arduous duty of mother she is the most overworked creature in all of life The average man works for eight hours They are long and the work is often hard Worries en compass his mind and add greatly to his burdens He is the and for all of these things he should be given full measure of praise but the housewife at home drudging day in and day out at the same menial tasks is heroic in her work That which she accomplishes either b'y cleaning the house or pre paring a good meal or making a new dress begins to be destroyed the in stant it is fini'hed She must mend the dress perhaps the second day She must wash the dishes lifter the meal has been eaten She must dust and clean again the next day the room which she cleaned yesterday Her labors are destroyed almost in stantly when accomplished and noth ing remains to show what trouble and work of preparation it has tak en Nothing is left to show for the work and trouble of breakfast after it is eaten The same is true of din rre' and supper again Each day firias her work the same as yester day Year in and year out through a whole life the story is the same It has always been a great wonder to me how the mind could stand up to their fearful reproduc tion but it has stood up and it will until the end because a mind never rests and is usually clean A clean mind has room for visions dreamer lives forever But a toiler dies in a Every housewife is a dreamer In her clean straight minjshe is mak ing and forming her visions and while her hands work mechanically at the disagreeable tasks her mind travels on to thez great field where great things and never die But more than air this a woman loves She' is the only creature that knows how to love We say it is feminine and laugh when the housewife says just' love that It is not artificially it is real and in that loving she finds the comfort and pleasure that enables her to work the treadmill over and over again Such womanly expressions as a darling hat! I just love a beautiful violet! I could kiss seem extravagant when we think of the tiny article on which the ex pression is made But it is not waste not even extravagant in ex pression for the heart and mind being clean does love admire and cherish these tiny but beautiful things day every hour brings its dirt I must bo washing my feet washing my bunds brushing my teeth sweeping my room and doing This is true of the hands of the body muscles the mind can go far far beyond these trivial if necessary things sec the mountain tops beyond the hills and find wonderment and happiness this the every day working wo man does Once I woman work while I was too ill to do any thing "but sit still She often cd and when she did I watched her face There was no sadness ncr longing there It was bright and cheerful do sigh so 1 asked of her am so she replied your "No I hardly think of that I have done it so what said 1 1 what I am thinking? Of the glorious days to come of the future happiness that is in store for all of us" the next world I asked but not that world I wish I could tell you the pictures I have of the days when I am too old for And then she sighed again work may be hard and the worries great but it (varies new faces come and go new places nejv things to break the dreadful monot ony but in a narrowed sphere there is but little change and ner mind overcomes the distances the narrowness of environment and looks into the great beyond Praise man if you will and he de serves it but' greaterfar greater praise must be given to the house wife who works and toils always1 to work and toil again There is a compensation inall things God sees to that an'3 the coni pensation is her ability to dream and to love See ouDove Under
