for the state championship, which
will be played o ff at the Vaughai
street park on a date when the Coas
league is playing, the juniors playing
a part in a double-header.
It is estimated that more than
three hundred teams will compete ii

year.
Harold Horner has been ap­
pointed as 4-H club chairman o f the
community and is over all leaders
of the 4-H clubs in that vicinity.
Last year, for the first time, the
fair board changed their juvenile de­
partment to the 4-H club department
and all children eligible for awards
must be enrolled in 4-H club work
and must have his or her final report
filed with the county club agent or
the club department superintendent
before receiving premiums.
The chairman, Mr.
Horner, will
distribute all material to the local
leaders and he sees that all clubs are
functioning as properly as possible.
The chairman acts as sort o f over­
