WORTH WHILE PRIZES . EXPECTED TO AROUSE CLUB WORK INTEREST Prizes of $175 offered for corn, club members by the Richmond Young from $25.down to $5 for the state Duroc from $25 down to 5 for the state Duroc !pig club, in which all Wayne county club members will be registered, and similar prizes offered by the county and township farm bureaus and the breeders associations for pig, sow and litter, and dairy and beef calf clubs, are expected to arouse a high degree of interest in Wayne county club work this year. The registration in the sow and litter club is practically complete with 12 numbers, but many additional enrollments are expected in corn, pig and calf clubs. A Jersey dairy calf club has been promised for the Perry township neighborhood and a beef calf club probably will be organized in western Wayne county also. Closing Dates Dates for enrolling in pig- and corn club work close May 15, the time for corn club enrollment having been extended. In spite of the liberal prize offerings, enrollments have been slow, and there is a possibility of easy winnings for the present members unless they have more competition. In both corn and pig clubs many more boys and girls have shown a desire to enter than have signed up so far. More liberal provisions are made this, year in state pig club work. Instead of limiting entries to the pigs which are given by lot to club members, the members may pick two additional pigs from any herd, including their home herd, and register them. Then at state fair time, the best of the three is picked to show at tha state fair. This will remove the handicap given some good club members who may happen to be allotted a pig which is interior to another they may have a chance to secure. It is probable that the Poland China association will make a similar provision. Prizes in State Prizes in-the state Duroc Jersey club range from $25 down to the seventeenth prize of $5 for the pigs; and from $15 down to $5 for the best record books, for which eight prizes are offered. J A trip to the 1923 Purdue Round-Up in May is another inducement offerea

Twins Welcomed, Triplets Cause Horror Among Blacks Spiritualism is an a flourishing condition among the black tribes of Uganda. Belief in a future life is universal among these primitive Arrlcans, and they are quite given to attempted communications with the Great Beyond. . They regard the cow with great reverence, and many and varied ceremonies accompany the milking of cows and the consumption of the milk. When twins are born special ceremonies are .held in celebration of th event, but triplets are treated as monstrosities, and are got out of the way as soon as possible. The "medicine men" are accomplished hypnotists, and wield great influence by the display of their powers. They are reputed to be great healers and this also, it is believed, can be traced to hypnotism. v , Death Valley, California, now produces 20,000,000 pounds of talcum powder a year." "
