VOL. 2. Boys Corn Club and School Fair. x lt is up to Cartersville and Bartow county to show their apprecia tion o' the worthy objects of the Boys’ Corn clubs and Bartow County School i air by stepping forward with every manner of co-operation to make the fair to be held here next month a success. We will not fail to do this when we take time to consider how important it is that our boys and girls be encouraged in the study of useful arts and that boys be given ah impetus to continue the scientific culture of farm products and the bettering of life conditions on the farm. We may need to be reminded that the general purpose of the Boys' j Corn clubs are to encourage the youth to engage in the study of soil and j its conservation and adaptability to the growth of different plants and : products, the scientific and systematic cultivation of corn, cotton and \ other products and the improvement of home and school life and the j elevation of the dignity of agriculture in the economic and social af- | fairs of life. It starts with the endorsement of the United States government which has given it the sanction of its aid and encouragement but the Sev enth congressional district of Georgia is the first one in the United States to organize itself and to enter upon the work of making real the hope of all who want to see agriculture take its proper place and that boys be taught high ideals and to learn while studying books systematic, scientific and intensive farming. To Honorable Gordon Lee, our representative in congress, is per haps due the greater credit for the early development of this plan in north Georgia because through his generosity in the donation of SI,OOO for prizes and promotion expenses a campaign was started which has resulted in the formation of clubs in every county in this district and a consequent report of rapid progress. He has reason to feel proud of his achievement in making his district first in this endeavor which will mean so much to the wealtli of the district and the worth of its citizens. Of equal importance to ns of this county is the school fair which has for its purpose the demonstration of the theory that boys and girls while in school can be taught at the same time some gainful occupa tion or trade. * The boys from all over the district will be here. We must entertain Ihem:*nd lend encouragement to what may be and doubtless will be a future in the acquirement of knowledge of the secrets of nature jaiuFaffl in making the coming generation a hardy race and a familiy of happy men. We must also show our faith in the boys and girls of our own schools who will have their score and more of booths in which will be displayed every form of genius as evidenced by diffcult makes of bas kets, rugs, mats and woodwork; exhibitions of sewing, cooking and cann ning and what may be done in the growth of cotton, corn, cerials, fruits and vegetables. We must go to see the chickens and other poultry dis plays, the hogs and cattle, the big things that can be done by the boys end girls and that make for sustenance and wealth. We may be taught to know that we have here a great county and a congressional district filled with boys and girls of worth and genius. While they are being taught it may be that we may likewise be educated by being shown something we did no t know before, that here in Georgia we can grow the biggest and finest specimens of the greatest number of products and that we have coming on a citizenship which will enable Georgia, especially north Georgia, to hold and maintain the highest place along these lines. Let all Bartow county and Cartersville unite in making this fair a great and crowning event in our history. There is nothing more enob ling than to encourage the development of productive wealth unless it is the development of character and our schools and the Boys’ Corn clubs have for their purpose the development of both.

To those who have not kept ir touch with this movement, the fol lowing article by one of the prom inent workers of Atlanta will prove of great interest and is replete with information: The organization of the Women’s Missionary societies is but one of the remarbable series of movements among women that made the 19th century known as the woman’s cen tury. The outcome of this was an en tirely new conception of woman’s sphere and activities, not alone in one country but throughout all na tions. Strange to say, this effort di rected first for the women in for eign lands has resulted in organis ed efforts for women in our owr land. ' In the United States we are cele brating this golden jubilee, because 50 years ago the higher education o f women took form in the founding of colleges for women, and many op portunities for philanthropic work rapidly developed. Since that time women have been prominent by their self-denial and practical la bors. Homes, settlement work, wom en’s clubs,' free kindergartens and all similar organizations have given eloquent testimony to the value of organized effort and personal serv ice. Now what has been the result of this effort in other lands? This same spirit of helpfulness BARTOW LUMBER CO. TO CLOSE OPERATIONS.

This fair in ail its features will be very fine. The Seventh congressional district has a very large enrollment of corn club hoys and is the only district to organize and make a display as a district. Reports from the adjoin ing counties indicate that quite r lively interest is manifested by the hoys and people, and we confidently expect one half of the eight hundi t members to he present at this, their first show. It is indeed an honor to Cartersville and Bartow county t have this distinction, hut through the splendid work done by our Bar tow county boys and girls in our schools last year, we were able t secure this show. Our School i needs no introduction to our Barbu county peplc, but we are glad tr state that I lie prospects arc good for a much better fair than was ever held heretofore. Our displays will ; be larger and better and of course our children are learning more and . more each year about displaying j their products. The Bartow County Poultry Asso ciation will make its initial how to the public and will exhibit some of the finest birds ever shown in tin - j staf r*.

While in Atlanta they discussed fi nances w 7 ith the relation to this sec tion, “Why is it that the southern banks are compelled so often to bor row money from the east to lend in turn to the southern farmers to move their cotton crop?” was one of the questions. “I can tell you in a word,” responded an insurance ex pert who happened to be one of tin* party, ‘the amount of money sent north and east during the past year for fire insurance premiums alone equals fully one fourth of the bank ing capital of the entire south. It is such drains as that that make it nec essary for the southern banks to borrow cash back from the north and then the individuals who have tc borrow from the southern banks find it more difficult, and more ex pensive for money is necessarily cheaper when if is more abundant As one solution of the financial problem in the south, the speakers suggested the keeping of insurance money at home wherever it is pos sible (o put it in absolutely, reliable southern companies.
