Sabbath School Convention.

Audubon County Sunday School
Convention convened at the Nj. E.
church, Audubon, September II, at
2:3O p. m. The attendance was not
large at any session, but the spirit of
the convention was splendid from
start to finish. The meeting was
promptly opened at time indicated on
program and the topics regularly taken
up. The addresses of Rev. NJ. J. Con
ner on "Faithfulness' and of Rev. j.
H. McSparren on 'sHow to Secure
Punctuality and Regularity of At.
tendance," was full of thought and to
the point. Mr.. f. G. Winton of the
American S. S. Union and Miss Mary
Barnes. of Des Moines State Field
Workers OF the 1nter-Denominational
s. S. work, We're present and gave ad-
dresses in the evening session.
Mr.. Winton has charge of district
of sixteen counties for the American
$. S. Union, while Miss Barnes travels
over the entire state for inter-denomi-
national work. Miss Barnes gave
much inspiration to the S. S. workers
in her talks on the "Home Depart
ment' and Primary S. S. Work"
Her reports of the International S. S.
iiNeutlou lieit III tAlldnla, VA. was
inspiring and helpful. On Wednes-
day forenoon the program was again
regularly taken up and addresses made
by those on the program. One adj
dress of special force by Mrs. d. G..
Mott. She showed how S. SIS not
only kept records in figures which
We're cold hard facts, but that they
possessed characters as the individual
and made records by their sympathy
and love which should abide into
eternity. The paper by Mrs. H. U.
Funk on "Child Study was one of
the strongest and most helpful given
at the convention.
In the election of officers E. B.
Cousins was chosen president; H. l..
Wissler, vice-president; LJ. U. Smay.
secretary, and A. H. Roberts, treasurer.
Thus closed another session of Con.
vention of Audubon County's S. S.
workers. All who We're in attendance
felt that it was good to have been
there. The only regret being that it
came at time when so few could at.
tend. The NJ. E. Conference being in
session at Denison and so many S. S.
teachers engaged in school work.
Plans are being set on foot for several
county S. S. normals to be held il

One Thing and Another,

Special Agent Taylor, who has been

that cattle fed sugar beets or pulp

the grain they eat, and the refuse
shows no whole grain.

Ow oat grass sowed at the rate of 16
pounds Of seed per acre has proved

fact that after the first crop of alfalfa

still other cuttings Of alfalfa, and the
first cutting is somewhat heavier than

Written in memory of Herbert
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bert Sherman, and grandson of the
Rev Charles Walker. of Audubon
township; who was killed in a
storm, on August 18th, near Willard
South Dakota
His dear face was camly smiling.
When the wreck was cleared away,
One would surely thought that Herbert
Was but sleeping where he lay.
Not a scar was on the body,
Not a look of pain to mar,
But they found the boy was sleeping,
Not to wake till over there.
Cross his breast his hands were folded;
Hands that always did their best.
But dear God, thou knowest best.
Mothers heart is almost broken,
Grieving for her eldest son,
Tongue cannot describe the anguish
In fathers heart since Herbert'S gone.
Four bright sons, three winsome daugh
tiers,
Still are left to help and cheer.
But one chair will e'er be vacant,
And their hearts will e'er be sore.
You have had the richest blessings.
Baby'S kiss and childish JOY,
And when life's sad cares are DER
Be prepared to meet your boy.
And adown the ages ringing.
Comes the promise ever true
He will comfort the afflicted,
He will be friend to you.
MRS. PERRY ANDERSON.
