How to Cheer Your Neighbor Up.
Winston Sentinel.

If any of your acquaintance
have cold attended by a cough
tell him his cough sounds Just
like jim Higgins who lay down
upon the grass when lie was in a
perspiration and took consumpt-
ion from it, and died after !. lin
gering illness Of eighteen months,
This will be very consoling to
the man with the cold.
If a person has a fever tell him
the interesting tale of how
your mother-ln-law's step sister
lay upon her back sixteen weeks
with typhoid fever, and immedi-
ately after that she took nleningi-
tis and never saw the light of day
again, but was blind all the rest
of her life. Add that both ty-
phoid fever and meningitis seem
particularly prevalent this season.
Perhaps another acquaintance
of yours may be in financial diff
|culties. Read to him all the new
stories of men who are committing
suicide because of business trou-
bles. This is calculated to make
him feel cheerful in his mind.
Tell him how many men you have
known made assignments and new
er regained their commercial STAN
ding. If any of them died pau
pers do not omit this from the
list. These little facts will give
him courage to face the world and
drive through his difficulties and
get upon his feet again.
If your neighbor IS uneasy about
the wild behavior Of any of his
children inform him how a respec-
table family Of your acquaintance
had a son who is now serving a
term IN the penitentiary, and that
the daughter of another friend ran
away and joined the salvation ar
my.
In general whatever may be
your friends particular trouble
for the time being, pour out to
him in every detail the woeful
stories Of people you have known
who were similarly situated. Paint
each case as black as you can, the
blacker the better. If then your
friend dies, or commits suicide or
becomes insane it will not be for
want of your sympathy.

Burton Farmers Club.

The last meeting Of the Burton Farmers
Club was held on the I'd inst, at the beau
tiful home of Mr.. and Mrs. David Thorp, Of
Middlebury.
After the opening of the club by vice
president r. G. Shepard, Me>srs. Bowles,
Randall and Rose gave their idea of a
model farm. Though these gentlemen own
and occupy fine and well titled farms, it APP
pears that they have not yet brought them
up to that high state Of perfection which
they regard as model farms.
Mrs. Devendorf. Mrs. Rose, and Mrs.
Snyder gave, in most excellent papers, their
ideas of a model home.
Blanch Shepard gave the song, entitled
1.-THE Shadow of Angels Wings.'
Mrs. Randall read very interesting
sketch of the life of Mr.. Merrill, her first
husband, father of the late VIM. Merrill.
His life was full of lessons of industry and
economy, of which young men of today have
very little knowledge. He still found time
10 cultivate his intellect and maintain
high social position among his friends and
neighbors. He was leader in church
circles and all reform movements, and his
reputation as a gentleman and christian,
was without question.
Mr.. Bowles was asked, (which would
give the greatest amount of berries, 100
rows, two feet apart, or 200 rows, one foot
apart, not allowing the runners to grow?"
He replied, two hundred rows, one foot
apart would give the greater amount of
fruit IL the runners allowed to grow; two
feet was too far apart.
Masters Chauncy and Tavern Woodin
each gave a recitation, and Miss Lulu
Woodwork, niece of Mrs. Thorp, recited
with much effect, "The Little Girls La
ment."
Franklin David, infant grandson of the
host and hostess, attended by his mother,
Mrs. Stebbins, was among the guests, also
the Misses Clara and Dora Fisher, neices OF
Mrs. Thorp. These ladies are both teach
ers and rank among the first of their class
in our county. Clara now has charge of
the Dewey school in Owosso township, and
Dora Is installed In the Sherman school In
the town of Sciota.
The next meeting will be held at the
residence of Geo. Stanlake, the first Thurs
day In October. s. G..

University Extension Lecture Course.

The University Extension management
has placed the lecture course tickets at
so cents to all students in the city schools
and to all persons under eighteen years
of age. 1t is believed large number OF
youths will avail themselves of this rare
opportunity for learning American histo-
ry.. Tickets on sale at Parkilps and Col
Inns drug stores. Fifty cent tickets en-

character Studies in American Devel.
opment" is the general topic to be discuss
ed by Prof. Sparks, OF the Chicago Uni
versity, in his six lectures before the
Owosso Center, beginning Oct. s. The
six characters to he treated in this course
are as follows: f,
Jonathan Edwardsand the early church.
Benjamin Franklin and American Di-
plomacy.
John Marshall and the Federal ju-
dietary.
Daniel Webster and the American bar
Wendell Phillips and American oratory.
Horace Greeley and the American press.
The outline of the first lecture is as fol-
lows: l.. Church and state united in the
colonies. 2. Church and state divorced
in the states. 8. Attendant changes in
religious thought. 4. Mission of the
church in America.
AS the syllabi have not yet arrived the
following references will aid for the first
lecture: American Statesmen Series, Pat
rick Henry, chapter "; James Madison,
chapter II. The reference books for first
lecture are in the school library also.
A word concerning the lecturer: Prof.
Sparks education began in London, o.
After graduating from the high school he
entered the Ohio State University, taking
the A. b. degree in 1884, and the A. M.
degree in 1889. While student he tu-
tored in history, and assisted Prof. John
T. Short in the preparation of his Prehis-
toric Races of America and Industrial
History of Ohio. He was graduate stu
dent of Harvard in 1862, assistant in his
tory in the Ohio State University in 1916;
principal preparatory department and
teacher of history in the Pennsylvania
State College in 1905; lecturer in Amer
lean history in the American Society for
the extension of University teaching in
Philadelphia, 1925; lecturer in the Uni
versity Extension Division in the Univer-
sity of Chicago in 1866. Last spring he
was made assistant in history at the Chi
cago University, and is at present study
ing in Europe. He will return the last
of the month.
From this preparation we must infer
he knows bis subject well. The best re-
commentator we know is that he is al
ways solicited to deliver a second course
of lectures.
One press notice says: "He is regarded
as one of the most effective and promis-
ing men in the extension faculty. His
subject is especially opportune, coming at
a time where there is an unusual desire
the country to understand
more thoroughly the principles and his
tory of our government"
Notice will be given hereafter concern
ing the library and syllabi.
