put out lime, and it lias given me joy to see my advice 

 taken at times. 



I believe the hardest task has been to get the girls 

 to be at all businesslike, and answer my letters and keep 

 records. I have succeeded in getting the mothers and 

 fathers at last say to the girls: "You must keep ac- 

 counts. ' ' 



I have distributecf bulletins of every kind and de- 

 scription, and carried on, as I did last year, a system of 

 sending to girls every available literary material found 

 in magazines that would help them in their homes, and 

 in their work, or that would inspire them to look for more 

 knowledge of any good kind. My special object in this 

 has been home sanitation, ridding of flies, and girls' 

 canning work in other states. 



Some folks already say: "This Canning Club work 

 is the grandest work on earth." Some, of course, are 

 not open-minded, and are stumbling blocks. I think my- 

 self that it has been very helpful to those who would 

 receive help in a moral and material way. 



I have the output of canned goods practically sold 

 and anticipate no trouble in disposing of them, and think 

 I can depend on all that is put up as being put up hon- 

 estly, and up to the. standard. 



I know I have worked very hard, and believe the 

 breaking of the soil already accomplished, promises a 

 big harvest. I think the next year will bring more co- 

 operation, and more interest, as well as more skill in the 

 work. In fact, the outlook is very encouraging. I think 

 this year there has been a real material increase of 

 nearly four times that of last year.
