The Otwell Farmer Boy Round-Up 
Vice-l resident Stevenson of the United States said, “This is the most in¬ 
spiring sight I have ever seen.” Four miles—four abreast—from 8 States and 
40 Counties in Illinois they came on horseback to The Otwell Farmer Boy 
Eoiiiul-ui). Governor Yates, on a black horse, led the parade and I reckon it 
was the largest crowd of people who ever came to our beauitful city in one day. 
I had 50,000 of these farmer boys in Illinois, growing fine corn for the World’s 
Pair in St. Louis and while I have never said it, the United States Government, 
in a special bulletin, gives credit to this wonderful exhibition of brain and 
brawn and spirit for the starting of the Four-H Clnhs and kindred clubs among 
tlie farm youth of this country. 
Where is there an infiuence in all the world, so potent for good as the 
physical and spiritual uplift of the farm youth of our land?

P. S. The Otwell Tree Planting Club of America planted a 
million trees last year. 
AT OTWELL’S they bring their lunches and eat whenever and wherever 
they want to. An old rattle trap is as welcome as the latest model. There is 
only one grade of hospitality at Otwell’s in May. W. B. 0.
