A Public Institution
The Extension Service of the
Connecticut Agricultural College
is a public service organization. It
is a division of the College that
takes the results of investigational
work of the Experiment Stations
and of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture which have
practical application to farm and
home problems, and endeavors to
get these scientific discoveries in-
to common practice.
The work of the Extension Scr-
vice is carried on by a staff of men
and women who have had practi-
. cal experience in farming and in
home making. Some of tllése
workers are. specialists in the va-
rious branches of agriculture and
home economics andwork
throughout the state. These state-
wide workers have headquarters
at Storrs. The other Extension
workers, generally known as agri-
cultural agents, home demonstra-
tion agents, and boys’ and girls’
clubs leaders, are located in the
counties and have headquarters
at the respective county Farm
Bureau oflices.
The state and county workers
are carrying out one program of
work and their activities are care-
fully coordinated so that the
greatest possible efficiency results.
The work is conducted through
lectures and demonstrations at

Funds for Extension work in,
Connecticut come from the Federu
ill appropriations of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. the Fed-
eral and State appropriations to
the ('onnectieut Agricultural Col-
lege, State and County appropria-
tions to the Farm Bureaus, and
dues from Farm Bureau members.
County appropriat ions,-—reprcsent
90 per cent. of all funds used for
the support of Extension work in
the state. and 10 percent comes
from Farm Bureau dues.
Since the Extension work. in-
cluding that carried on by county
workers as Well as by state spe-
cialists. is supported by public
funds, it must of necessity be con-
ducted for the benefit of all citi-
zens of tch state. The activities
of the state and county extension
workers, therefore, are not con-
fined to Farm Bureau members,
members of the Grange, members
of agricultural societies, onto any
other organization or group. All
citizens of the state, whether
members of organizations or not,
are entitled to assistance from
state and county Extension work-
ers without charge.

‘According to reports the legal
gentleman was betrothed to a lady
who has recently acquired a di-
vorce as a sort of sine qua non to
the marriage. The gentleman had
a key to the lady 's apartment and
when she arrived home the other
night, accompanied by friends, she
found her legal fiance in posses-
sion of her home, sweet home.
She called assistance, alleging
that the legal gentleman was un-
der the influence of illegal liquor,
but this allegation was denied by
the legal gentleman later. He
said that while he was waiting for
the lady, having partaken of only
one cocktail before dinner, he
amused himself by setting cock-

Say. what do mm by a Regular Girl?
' -Weil. thnt’s a lit pausing to state.
Her hair has. perhaps an irregular curl
Or maybe it's perfectly straight:
-And maybe she's pretty and maybe she's not,
And maybe she's stately or short:
But somehow .or other you always can "so:
A girl who's the regular sort.
There’s always ,s. regular feminine charm
To all of her regular ways.
There's is purity. too. which no evil can harm,
There's honor and truth in her gaze:
But there's an irregular whimsical twist
To some of her thoughts and her acts,
Which mshes'hcr exceedingly hard to resist,
For mystery always attracts.
She‘s eager and joyous and vivid and smart,
She's healthy and wholesome and sweet.
Her- IteguEar smile-gives each masculine heart
A slightly irregular beat; .
A Regular Pal you can bank on for life
\Vith faith no hard luck can dis-pen.
And—a Regular Girls makes a Regular Wife
And a Regular Mother as well.
