Organizes New Heme
Demonstration Club
On April 2nd, at Williams Chapel,

home demonstration club. The fol
lowing officers were elected: Mrs. A.
M. Perry, president; Miss Hattie Ev
erett, vice president; Miss Annie Har
rington, secretary; and Miss Margar
et Everett, reporter.
The organization decided to call it
self "The Williams Chapel Home Dem
onstration Club." The business meet
ing over, Miss Trentham discussed
•—with 'the club ways and means for
farm women to make money. After
wards the club adjourned to meet a
gain April 9 at the home of Mrs.
seph Early.
At the meeting on the 9th there
was a very enthusiastic gathering,
for Miss Trentham demonstrated her
steam-pressure cooker. She cooked
chicken, carrots, navy beans, sweet
potatoes, and onions at the time
in the cooker, for 45 minutes, and
they all came out well, done. Even
the rooster, which was so old that no
one knew his birthday, came out quite
Under. Everyone tasted the foods j
cooked, and at the same time asked
questions, admired and praised the
work of the cooker.
After this a short business meeting
was held and plans for the future
work of the club were discussed. At
this meeting a number of new mem- j
hers were enrolled. It was decided i
that the next meeting would be given
over to a better-homes program, j
which had already been partially!
planned.
