are some fine side trim excursions to be
provided from Montreal At very low rates,
meantime Such a chance Is worth i'm
/ proving.
We hope to present the readers of the
/ WATcHMAN, later, with letter from an es-
teamed ex-'owumau, Barney ID Flint, now
WaoOburu, Ore. giving his observations
of that section Of our country. His long ex-
/ perienCe as "A farmer here and his great can
! dor ought to make his opinions valuable.
| Mr.. Flint and wife find enough to do there
as Christian workers, and we here, know
that with them, opportunity for service is
| always a call to it, and they are quick to re-
spoud to such calls
The fine weather last Sunday, Children g
| Day, was favorable for a large attendance
! on the church services in our village. The
audience rooms Of the 'hree churches were
! radiant with flowers, and the children 8
| exercises were enjoyable and profitable In
the morning Rev, p. p. Womer preached a
| very interesting sermon to children from
| the text, THE stork in the heaven know
! eth her appointed times" The moral les
sons drawn by the preacher from the habits
| Of this wonderful bird were excellent.
| The children's exercises at the Congrega-
tional church were given in the evening be-
| fore full house.
We recently interviewed Fred, son of
/ Guerdou Martin, about his late trip to Liv-
erpool, England. He went as an empoye
on steamer from Boston, that TRANSPORTS
some 800 head OF cattle. He had to work
| five hours day in caring for the animals
! Experienced hands get 1927 month and
are supplied with board and return pas
sage They have their own expenses to
pay while on the other side. Mr.. Martin
had week in Liverpool. We Judge that
the right sort of young man might not
find it difficult to get a chance in this way
| for trip across the Atlantic.
THAT visit has cost me fifty dollars" So
| one OF our late farmers is reported to us to
! have said to a member of his family Just
! after the departure of summer city visitors
at his home. He was a kind hearted, hard
| working, and not physically strong farmer
and was bearing with so many others of onr
farmers, the heavy burden Of declining val
ues of real estate. 1t was not to be WON
dered at il he felt he could i'll afford to have
another straw added to his burden. While
we believe it is in the power OF many city
visitor to the homes of their farmer friends,
to bring into these homes that which
should make these visits most welcome,
| would they always heartily welcome their
country friends into their city homes for
stay of weeks?
Our old townsman, Warren Poole, of
Dover, Ill, who buried his wife few
months ago, has Just buried a greatly loved
son, Edward Warren Poole, who was in his
twenty-fourth year. Both father and son
visited our place last summer, the son for
the first time. He made very pleasant
impression here was well educated young
man and had chosen electric work AZ a cali
ing. For time he had been with the Gen
eral Electric Company OF Schenectady, N.
Y, where he had a good position Last
fall he was Frustrated by hemorrhage of
the lungs, to which he was subject, and
never recovered. He was Christian and
died in the triumphs OF the Christian faith
wi 90 To 10 har
father.
1t is pleasure to look as we have lust
done at Photographic group of the four
sons of our ex-townsman, Marshall Seayer,
son of the late Cyrus Seaver, and now
resident of Manson, la. One OF these sons
has the artistic instinct, to have conceived
real, live picture, that he calls "The New
Woman" 1t is an out door scene and
likely at his Iowa home. Under a tree sits
his sister in an easy chair, reading a paper
and apparently taking life at its easiest
little way from here is washtub, on
which in large letters is the legend "The
New Woman" At this tub stands a man
washing clothes, and near by is the clothes
line, on which he has hung part OF his
washing to dry. This picture was proto-
graphed, and sent to a well-known pub
Usher in Boston. Tho proprietor of a Lon
don, England. magazine, who CHANGED to
see 1t there, was so pleased with it, that he
wrote Mr.. Seaver asking for the privilege TO
publish it in his own magazine.
