Chicago, Dec. *1.—The grit of ru ral boys and girls in finding oppor tunities for self - advancement against obstacles is graphically il lustrated in the records of the national 4-H champiohs in leader ship and achievement just announ ced by the National Committee on Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work which conducts the contests annually in co-operation with state and federal extension agents. The boy leadership champion, Hugo Graumann, aged 20, of Gran ite, Okla., determined not to let 4-H club work suffer when, in 1931, the county commissioners voted out the ther , n the elght yeara ht ^ county agent. He rallied his club mates, laid out a program and with their help carried on so successfully that his county became a famous 4-H center in the state. It sent demonstration teams to the state fair which captured two champion ships. The 4-H county fair was conducted with great success in spite of decreased premiums. To cli max his efforts Graumann ran a club mate for state 4-H president and had him elected. Now he has succeeded in having a county agent voted back. At the same time the boy has carried on a heavy program of practical projects. The total in come of his eight years of wprk is $4,423.75. Doris E. Clark, age 18, Goodman, Marinette County* Wis., chosen na tional girl leadership champion, succeeded in three years as a local leader in creating a live interest in 4-H work where it had been looked duced 7,900 birds which were fin ished for the best markets. Lillian Murphy, age 19, Bremen. St. Joseph County* Ind., national girl achievement champion, ac quired such skill in home arts she was chosen a junior leader. Ea this capacity she trained 22 dem onstration and judging teams which made fine records. In coach ing them she often had to travel distances and face hard weather. She personally took part in 44 pub lic exhibitions and contests, and through her work found a way to enter Purdue University this faR. Beautiful silVer trophies from President Roosevelt are awarded the national leader champions, knd similar trophies the achievement champions by H. A. Moses, West Springfield, Mass., paper manufac turer, who was once himself tl struggling farm boy. NOTICE OF TAX SALE Plum Branch, S C., December 18, 1933.

Jesus”, he says painfully, “remember me, when thou comest into thy kingdom!” Read that, oh ipen, and bow your heads.
