iiafi CLUB SHORT COURSE. BREAKS PAST RECORDS Raleigh, N. C., July 18?Boys and girls from the farms of North Caro lina took charge of State College dar ing the week of July II to 16 and broke existing records for attendance at a Four-H club short course by en rolling to the number of 624. "It was the finest short course that we have ever held at State Col lege," says L. R. Harrill, club lead . er. "There were 421 girls and 203 boys enrolled for the various courses of instruction. They came from all over the entire State with some of the most distant counties sending the largest delegations. Currituck county down on the coast sent the largest delegation of girls with 24 present. Gaston county led in sending boys with 34 enjrolled. The students were selected club members who have won recognition in their home counties by industrious club work and achieve ment in the projects which they are undertaking." Many of the boys and girls had won scholarships which paid all their expenses; civic clubs and other organ-] izations sent some of the delegates while a large number paid their own expenses, said Mr. Harrill. A large unmber of the club members came to Raleigh in school trucks accompanied by their county and home agents. It was necessary to call to the college a number of the home and farm agents to assist ity handling the students and in giving the courses of instruction. About 14 home agents and an equal number of farm agents attended the course. Swimming parties in early morning and late afternoon, vesper services on the eampus at night, sight seeing trips in the afternoons and class room work during the morning hours occupied the time of the club mem bers. The course ended with a big elub banquet in the college dining hall on Friday night. This followed a ball game between teams represent ing eastern and western North Car olina on Friday afternoon. 0 r, > SERVICE AND SUCCESS -? ) It isn't the cut of the clothes that you wear, Nor the stuff out of which they are made, Though chosen with taste aqd fastid ous care, And it isn't the price that you paid. It isn't the servants that come to your call, It isn't the things you possess, Whether many or little ? or noth ing at all? It's service that measurers success. It isn't a question of city or town, Nor a question of doctrine or creed. It isn't a question of fame or re nown, Nor a question of Valorous deed: But he who makes somebody happy each day. And he who gives heed to distress, Will find satisfaction the richest of pay, For it's service that measures success. ?J. Haigh Baxter, in Public Service.
