Calkins In the rural districts and T. D. Kirk pal rick in the city work, attracted wide attention among the visitors in general and the parents in particular. "This has been a successful year in the work among the school children Eaid Miss Calkins. "The building for the club work exhibition is full this week and it will be necessary to ex tend the building in time for next year's fair. The children are taking an interest In the work, and their suc cess is demonstrated by the fact that several of the boys' entries in sheep, calves and hoga won prizes in the open classes."

This lad, John Flem ing, won a third prize at the Salem fair and a first prize in the local fair on his prize hog. According to Miss Calkins, it is unusual for a child to complete more than one project in a year. Another boy, Gilbert Wagner of the Fairview school, had on exhibition a hog and a loaf of bread at the begin ning of the day. Toward noon yes terday, during an unguarded moment, the hog helped himself to a large bite from the loaf of bread. Later the entire loaf had disappeared, and when the boy was asked what had happened to It he admitted that after he had I chased the hog away he had felt . hungry, so he had "finished the loaf 1 iimself."

We will have -to establish larger barn facili ties for tiext year, according to pres ent indications.".
