It was througn the kindness of Montgomery Ward & Company, that this wonderful event in my life was made possible. I became interested in the Boys and Girls Club work three years ago when Mr. E. Peterson visited at cur school and told us about the The rather comical. first night on the train, Afton and never-the-le- ss I were playing when we pushed the bell by mistake.

Swifts ,On the 4th day of April 1925, The Happy Hour Cooking Club of Wilson, Uintah county, was organised with Mrs. Pearl Redmond as loader, and six members.

The County Fair was Meld at Vernal, and from there ipy ooking was sent to Salt Lake City t .1 the State Fair. I received word to be ready to go A the 25th of November. Miss Af-tc- n Bingham, of Vernal, winner of the Cudahy Packing Co prize, and thyself left Roosevelt in company with Mr. E. Peterson, our county r tent. That night we met our State Cub Leader, Mr. D. P. Murray, and club winner from Sandy, Utah. Mr. 1 jlbert Thayne. The next day at c ze oclock we left Salt Lake City c our journey to Chicago and the X :ys and Girls National Club Con- & Companys. We first went to the Hog resting room. Upon arrival at the Stoca Yards, hogs are inspected by a U. S. Government Inspector. They receive a shower bath and are given time for quiet and rest. After this the hogs are taken to the hoisting wheel pens where they are raised by an automatic hoisting wheel which raises them to a sliding rail. Here an operator dispatches them and then they pass to the scalding vats. The capacity here is 750 hogs per hour. The hog then passes through a dehairing machine, where hair and bristles are removed. The next pen is the stamping pen. Here the Government stamps is placed upon each of the market cuts. There are sixteen stamp markings on each hog. This stamp indicates that the animal has been passed by the Government condition. Inspector and is in A- -l There are two pork cutting rooms. In the first one, the hogs are cut into three parts, the second is where further division of the parts takes place. The sides are rolled, the baWe con cuts graded and trimmed. demeat smoked to came the then partment. Here is a ham selected and placed in a solution of sugar, salt and water. It is hung for 36 hours over a smoldering wood fire to give it its desirable color and flavor. There is also a room where the plant employees eat, and a bit" school where the children under 17 who are employed by the company, may study. The teaching is done gh school teachers under the by Supervision of the Chicago Board of Education, while the building, text books, and equipment are furnished by Swift & Company. That same day we went on a for girls to Kitchen and special trip Home Furnishing department of Marshall Field & Company and from here all the club members gathmd at the Grand Ball Room, Sherman Hotel for the Grand Rally and Banquet.

As a gift and souvenir the company gave us two pairs "of scissors and to each member of the Cooking Club, a Boston Cook Book. After our visit to this plant we took cabs to the plant of Northwestern Yeast Co., where we had an educational trip through the factory. From here we were taken to the American Furniture Mart, where a buffet luncheon was served to all the members. During the afternoon we left on special street cars for Lincoln Park to see tropical botanical gardens and the Zoo with its roaring lions, wildcats, tigers, chattering monkeys, the baby hippo, bears of all kinds and birds from every part of the world. That evening in the ball room. Hotel LaSalle, a banquet was served to the entire delegation. During the banquet a program was given and was broadcasted by the radiophone station WMAQ. Grand final day was Thursday. Early Thursday morning we left for the plants of the International Harvester Company. This is the largest plant of the company the largest farm implement factory in the In this main manufacturing group one finds the administration, office, inventing, designing, experimenting, drafting, and engineering departments. The point that most interested me was the Tractor works which is a work which begins with the main frame at one end of the chain and at the other the tractor rolls out on its own power, all painted and ready for shipment. Five of these tractors are completed in one hour. At noon we were guests to a luncheon given by the International Harvester Company, who presented each of us with a little wisp broom and a beautiful picture of the entire group of club members winning the free trip to Chicago. In the afternoon we went to a photoplay through the courtesy of Balaban and Katz Corporation, to the Chicago Theatre. The final banquet was given in the gold room, Congress Hotel. We were the guests on nine Chicago railroads. This banquet was broadcast over the radiophone, station KYW. Fred W. Sargent, president of the Chicago & North Western Railway Company, gave the address, special music was given by the Pullman porter male quartette, and Banjo Bill KYW radiophone artist. At the stock show we saw some of the worlds most beautiful horses, sheep, cows and hogs,. In the show the horses were deckecl in their most brilliant plumes, and we also saw the Uintah Basin Seed, which later gold-handl- ed -- en-worl- took first prize. The next day we made prepara- tions to leave the city and that night we departed. We felt sorry at our leaving, but knew that we would be glad to be again among our own dear mountain land and the Great Uintah Basin. We gained a superlative degree of satisfaction and pleasure to know that we had merited the honor of the trip. I am forever boosting club work and trying to live up to our motto: "Make the best Better.

County Agent For Duchesne County county agent for Duchesne county is now nearer actual realization, provided the Farm Bureau acts with initiative and energy, than it has been for some time. E. Peter-- it has been for some time. It is possible E. Peterson, Uintah county agent will be willing to undertake the job of guiding the agricultural destinies of both the Duchesne and Uintah counties. . It thus appears that the county has an opportunity to secure a competent man at a very reasonable expense. It is likely that the matter could if the county commissioner would agree to defray part of A ns The Farm expenses.

With a county agent who has been unusually afficient in this activity to get it under way here, the county could establish thriving clubs in the different towns. The advantages of a county age' t are too well understood and appreciu. ted to need explaining here. It is not a question of whether to employ one, it is a question of how to get t one. A number of agents in the state are taking care of two counties. One agent has three counties under his supervision. This indicates that the plan is practicable. So this phaze of the situation need not concern us.. Our problem is largely a matter of taking a few decisive steps to secure Mr. Petersons appointment.
