AS PREMIUMS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS IN THE FOUR INDUSTRIAL CLUBS. The officers of the Jasper County Poultry Association have been very active in promoting industrial club work for the boys and girls m the county this year.

The rewards will be made at the time of the pbultry show, which will be held the first week of January, 1918. About 295 boys and girls entered the club work last spring. Most of these have been very successful in their efforts and they all expect to make a creditable showing next winter. It is hoped by the officers of the association that the liberality of the premiums w’hich are offered will be a stimulant to those boys and girls whose interest may have declined and cause them to take up their work in a more successful manner and complete it in order that they may receive due recommendation for their efforts. County Agent Learning has been in charge of the club work this summer and the officers of the association urge that all contestants who expect to finish advise Mr. Learning of the fact at once in order that suitable diplomas may be secured for them.
