Cora and Poultry Clubs.

Last spring quite an effort was made in the organization of a Boys’ Corn Club and Girls’ Poultry Club over the county. Meetings were held in various parts of the county and quite a number of boys and girls became interested in "work. It was the intention of County Agent Barrett to visit and advise with the children during the summer and to make the club work really worth while to the boys and girls. When the county agent work was discontiued it left the, club work without a leader, but since that time County Superintendent Lamson has advised the boys and girls to keep up their work as faithfully as they could under the conditions. Of those who went into the work last spring about 50 have continued. At the meeting of the Board of Education December 7, it was decided to encourage the work in every way possible and through box socials and other means to procure money to make the prizes as planned in the spring. The following is a list of boys and girls who have so far remained in the work: BARKLEY Amos Deere Blanche Peterson Lowell Peterson Hazel Brouhard Alonzo Scheurlch Newell Hays Pearl Peterson Lowell Hays Lawrence Brouhard CARPENTER Lester Alter Hilda Gray Lacy Alter Sallie Knockel Robert Smalley Helen Welch Clermont Stack Carrie Pluiiner Cecele Fisher Mary Pluimer GILLAM Clarence LeFevre Goldie Hough Clarence McElroy Hilda Onken Edward Ryan Frances Ryan Myrtle Houston Irene Smallfelt HANGING GROVE Laura Maxwell Garry Snedeker KANKAKEE Dewey Myers Amanda Albin George Schreiber Charles Duggleby Nora Davis - KEENER Matie Kersey MARION Fred Spangle Amie Spangle Lila Peek MILROY Katie Guttrich Leonard McAleer NEWTON John Stockton Josephine Thomas Almira Stockton UNION Emmor Switzer Lonzo Wiseman WALKER l lric Hinrichs Elsie Peer James Alexander WHEATFIELD Archie Hendrix Eva Grube Elam Summers F:cra Short Sarah Gorden Rosa Smith Harold Kennedy JORDAN Hurshell Bice These at least have reported to Superintendent Lamson and if there are others who have kept up the work but have not reported they should do so at once. All reports both from the girls of the Poultry Club and the boys of the Corn Club should be sent to Superintendent Lamson at once.
