The Woodruff and Sciota Farmers
Club met with Mr.. and Mrs. E. Hawley,
Oct. Is. The day was fine and altho it
is a busy time with the farmers there
was a good attendance.
After the opening exercises, Mrs Lee
Huffman was appointed as delegate
from our club to attend the dedication
of the woman's building at the M. A. G.

regard to enlarging our own member

equal partnership where each should

marks by Mrs. Clements and Mr.. Craw-

Labor saving suggestions for the
household. Mrs A. s. Purdy read a
well written paper on this subject. So
often people exercise the virtue of
economy in saving money and things
that perish in the using, and are extrav-
agant in things that are much more vital,
flattering themselves that they are fru-
gal managers. In order to save money
very often strength of body and brain
are wasted beyond recall and when too
late the mistake is realized In every
kitchen there should be as many labor
saving utensils to tighten the toll of the
mistress as the purse will allow We
should build our homes upon founda-
tions of economy in its broadcast and
truest sense, economy of time, strength,
labor and money Many wives and
mothers devote themselves to life OF
toll and cannot find time to be what
they were by nature intended TO be, ana
when their children need their help
find they have fallen behind the times
This is mistake constantly repeated
yet the experience of others is a lessor
hard to adjust to our own lives. W.
should only indulge in the reckless ex
penditure of love and patience and tr,
to make our homes abodes of peace

HERO OF THE HOUR.
Lord Roberts Has Accomplished
Much in Short Time.

London, March l5.-45o a. m.-The
tirst half of the campaign is over. Lord
Roberts arrived at Modder river on Feb
ruary 0. He entered Bloemfontein on
March 13. Thus, In little over a month,
he has effected the relief Of Kimherley
and Ladysmith, the capture OF General
Cronje and forces and the hoisting Of the
British flag in the capital Of the Free
State. All this has been accomplished
with comparatively tritiing losses. IL Is
email wonder that he is the hero OF the
hour in England.
:.All the newspapers eulogize him and
congratulate the country. They talk OF
the Free State as having passed out OF ex-
istence and as being now one Of the
shadows Of history.
1t ia not doubted that there may yet be
h.avy fighting, but the genius Of Lord
Roberts 10 looked to for victory over a u
difficulties. His grim reference to th'
Late President Steyn Is understood to
show that there shall be no ambiguity al
to the position assumed toward the re-
publics. The fact that Mr.. Frazer lats
chairman of the Free State raad and
leader of the opposition to Mr.. steyn,
came with the deputation to surrender
the keys, Is regarded as extremely sig
nificant of considerable difference oi
opinion among the Free Statsrs regard

Kragsr hates Mr.. Frazer on honount OF
his sympathy with the outlanderG Ths
demonstration Of the mfontein In.
habitants are also regarded as q good
auRuFy for the future Of British su-
rIemacy.
IL Is interesting, In connection with the
rapid advance Of Lord Roberts to lsarn
that the Russian military attaohe with
the Beers who were captured with the
British ssnt the following telegram TO
the Czsri "I am perfectly amazed at this
energy In action and the endurance Of the
British infantry. 1 need say no more"
There is ssill no news as to whethsr
Lord Roberts has captured any rolling
stock. II he has not, then he will te
obliged to walt until the repairing Of the
bridges over the Orange river enables him
TO bring rolling stock up.
The British oontinus pressing their ad-
vance ON the Orange river. The Beers
still hold Bethulis bridge, on the nortS
side Of the stream, but their trenches are
dominated by the British artillery.
Heavy firing is In progress and there has
been some skirmIshing.
Lord Kitchener seems TO be very suo-
cessful In reducing the extent of the
