| I-auo u potleTu lCr Soou, let us
hope. Her rNickens and ducks and
Turkeys are better than any others
Her dinners arc tho iinost ever soen
her hams tho sweetest, gravy the
reddest, coffee tho clenrest, milk the
coolest and hor vegetables consist in
raro up.to date things which hut few
have heard OF before All such as
this is talked Of and suggested hy
her appearance, and if shc hr II good,
sensible, Christian woman. it will not
be long til! You will begin 10 SOC the
effect of b1r good examples. Where
| the pillow, Eavr been stuffed into
broken pancs You will see new glass,
little flower beds will appear in the
yards OF the settlement, the unsight, .,
ly woodpilc will be moved back of
the house, the rickctv old fence will
br repaired and gates put upon
hinges: all Of these things and moro
will add new charm, and this in
imitation-~N provided, always, that a
beautiful character in womanhood is
the foundation stone for the rich
woman'S hnndiwork.
or course, the very rich people
care notblng for expenses, but all
good mon and women should care.
and will care when they SEQ it in
that light, that their example of ex,
travagancc is damaging to the coun-
try and that thousands Of fools live
in an eternal strain striving to follow
tn" pattern set by them. There is
not doubt but what Young America
is running too fast a schedule. The
tcnsion is too intense to keep up ap-
pearanccs, and when wc consider
that tho whole thing is nothing
more than Il vcXution we should
work together to stop it. Crimes
and criminals arc OH the increase,
and much Of it can hc accounted for
through tho cXtravagancc or dissipn-
tlons of the times Tho cxtravu-
Sance has caused many young man
t. tako desperate risks. Some arc so
lucky rs % never have their sins
find them ont, but enough Of them
are found out to set every good man
and woman at work to correct the
evil. Wo like to cuss and discuss
any other evil. If the society poo
PIE of the towns would make it pop-
nlar to spend thoir outings in the
country about them it would keep
the money around them and be a
saving beyond measure in the muttcr
of expense. IL it is for health that
these people visit tho resorts, can
promise thc"l that there could be no
healthier thing than to live in the
rural districts and romp over the
fields and woods just rs the young
people Of our district are doing and
have over done. AS old AS | am
would walk milo and wait an hour
to SEQ n crowd Of sweet country girls
coming up n path loaded with dog
wood blossoms and honey -sucklcs,
and | would like for every ono to
have their halr down, and red sacks
and white aprons. Blooming with
health, happy birds and as innocent
as doves, they make Il picture to
have rs we'll oxclnim: "God bless
tho country and bless tho girls"
There h"s boen ono little ripple of
dlscontcnt at things in our settlement
tbs past wo,k, and but one, but I
am asked to writo Of it.
~ now flag has been introduced or
trying to be introduced. 1t is an
other ono Of tho ''isms" started ND.
"nd OF course Pm against it as
have been against all "isms."
This time They want all Christians,
irrespective of church or creed, to
rally under universal flag. 1 told
them that the old stars and stripes
was good enough for me, while
Brown blasted it as n Spanish trick.
Spanish or no Spanish, thero is going
to be lots Of people agreeing with
the idea If this succeeds, then
fanaticism will have full sway-of
course, it will be tho flag of flags and
tho champions Of all tho "isms" will
wave it above their ranks.
do not mention this in idlo talk
Tho movement is on foot to estab.
llsh such n flag, and never yet have
SOCn n word noninoS - J., tLo lo,o
