himer gave recitation. Dinner was

the delicious repast
After dinner the club was called to
order and song rendered by the club
Mr.. VIM. Cole gave talk on. Should
the farm and its products take prece.
dence in club discussions He said, "No,
for we are units of great nation, and
we are producing more than we can
consume, and as we are governed by
political bodies in our nation, we as
citizens and club members should study
and discuss the great questions that
come up in the nation" He believes in
bimetalism, and that it is not safe to
leave the issuing of paper money to
banks or individuals.
Mr.. A. Wrlgley said we ought not to
submit our monetary laws to the dicta-
ton of the Rothchilds or any other
equally powerful corporations or class
of men.
Miss Morris was called upon for an
instrumental solo which she rendered
with her usual ability and pleasing
manner
Mr.. Elmer Wilson's paper on, Which
is the most profitable to the average
farmer, dairying or sheep raising? in
dictated that he had had considerable
experience in the care and raising of
sheep, and that he is making success
of the business He thinks there is
more money in sheep than in cattle
The subject was discussed pro and con
and while it was admitted that we
could not get along without the COW
yet several expressed the opinion that
sheep raising is more profitable than
dairying
Miss May Ferris favored the club
with a fine recitation. The question
box was then opened and furnished
several interesting topics for discussion.
Miss Iva Bilhimer gave bright little
recitation For closing, Mr. j. Norton
and Miss Halle Morris gave a violin
and organ duet, which was greatly en-
joyed.
