FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: An answer for Jennie g.
Kempiler on skating rinks. First, allow me TO say
that while am not infatuated with the so-called
modern evil, go once in a while for exercise or
amusement, and will speak of the rinks here. Miss
kempher says that in her estimation they are a
low degraded place for girls and boys of high char
6cter and reputation. Well, think that is rather
Strong language. A large number of Erie's highly
respected and society people frequent the rinlls,
and, as Tar as can see, they either il does not
hurt them morally. And as to the socsaiied "veno-
nous reptiles, in other words the young men
who have unfortunately fallen into the bad rs we'll
as evil habit Of drinking, would say that think it
has helped great number of them. l will speak
of what know TO be q fact. Several OF the young
men from honored and respected families who had
fallen into sinful habits of drinking got to going
TO the f1nks- IL xas an amusement they liked and
they gave great deal Of time to it consequently
they gave UP the wine room entirely. Now
don't think those young men have corrupted any
one there. There are probably many more such
eases that i know nothing about; STILL on the
other hand, I'll admit that some sad accidents and
corrupting have occurred, but there is execution
TO everything, Taking it all In ALL think the good
has overpowered the evil. Just notice the Chicago
rink regulations adopted March Il. Nobody could
ask for anything better than that. The Erie ripks
gave the receipts nights for the benefit of the
poor. Let this subject be little more discussed
among the young people.-James III. Mortimer,
tScn OF a veteran of the 18th Pa Cav..) Erie. Pa.

Before beginning to feed heavily, the sows
intended to be kept for breeders should be
separated from the rest and given plenty of
nourishing but not fatteniHg food. Select those
with long, straight backs. and be sure that
they have at least 10 or 12 teats. Sows will
sometimes have more pigs than teats, remind
ing one of the Government after Presidential
