t 'nntiiuii'<( from pag^e II, c-olumn 8 

 To help him cajry on his task in a 

 proper way, instructions are sent to him 

 from the Agricultural College which are 

 based on tried practices that have been 

 found to be superior ones. Demonstra- 

 tions, judging contest and other methods 

 are used to help him to proceed with his 

 work the best way. The keeping of rec- 

 ords is required. In this way club work 

 is developing the principle of Education. 

 After the members are enrolled they 

 are grouped into a club organization, 

 preferably each having the same project. 

 The club holds meetings to discuss their 

 work and plan to do things together. 

 They work cooperatively and hence club 

 work encourages CO-OPERATIOX. 



We believe that this organization is 

 based on three great principles of prog- 

 res.s — Work, Education and Cooperation 

 and that herein lies "the strength of club 

 work."

Want to be President ? 



It is the ambition of every American 

 boy to be President some day. Did you 

 ever stop to think that this wish has come 

 to more farm boys than any others? 



Seventeen of the thirty Presidents have 

 been faim boys. Into this group fall 

 Washington and Lincoln, our national 

 heroes. The first five Presidents — Wash- 

 ington, Adams, .Jeffeison, Madison and 

 Monroe — all began their careers by romp- 

 ing ai'ound on their fathers' farms and 

 plantations. .Jack.son, Van Buren, Polk, 

 Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce,, Grant, Garfield, 

 Harrison, Harding and Coolidge were 

 raised on the farm. 



When Harding was a boy, he attended 

 a little district school, ran barefoot and 

 drove the cows to pasture. 



And now, like sixteen of his predeces- 

 sors, Calvin Coolidge hails fi'om the farm. 

 He, too, ran barefoot as a boy and at- 

 tended the little red schoolhouse. 



The habit of Saving 



Is at the bottom of most 

 big successes in the busi- 

 ness world. Begin the 

 habit by opening a savings 

 account with the Hayden- 

 ville Savings Bank. One 

 dollar is enough to start 

 with.
