full hour was spent in partaking OF the
good things provided, and in pleasant
social chat. After the call to order Mr.
Harding was called on for recitation,
and being Vigorously encored gave
another; Miss Edna Parsons gave a
vocal solo; Mrs Dexter Morris paper
on the farmers wife and her surround
ings, was Iext read; Mrs. Morris drew
beautiful picture of what a farm home
might be with the house wife the
acknowledged Queen, and love the
scepter Given sufficient means to pro.
vide for the necessaries OF life and for
the instruction and entertainment OF
the mind, in the way of books and
periodicals, which can be had at so
little cost and surrounded as she is by
that is beautiful in nature, she has
a greater chance for true happiness
than her sister in the whirl of city life.
Rev. Blanchard thought the writer OF
the paper must have an ideal home and
an ideal husband, believed that every
home should have a common purse and
that The wife should feel at liberty to
spend ten cents for a magazine. or
twenty-five cents for new hat without
asking Johns permission. Ms. Gilbert
Parsons gave one of her delightful
Rotations and because she was heartily
encored she gave another.
Is the money power menace to the
nation. was question asked VIM. Cole.
He said yes and u terrible one. Rev.
Blanchard was invited to give his
opinion. He said in part, that because
it is true that the love of money is the
root of all evil and the love of money
is in the hearts of 80 many, to such an
extent. that principle Is crowded out,
therefore, it is a great menace to the
nation. For any evil that affects in
dividuals affects the nation. He cited
. case of legislator who was sent to
Lansing from Flushing, to represent
the people, but when he came back
home he openly and without blush
said, 1 can buy any business in this
town and pay the cash, evidently he
was working not for the good of his
constituents but for money, everything,
said the speaker is tending towards con.
solidation and even the press, that
mighty power is silent. II we'll paid for
its silence. Will nothing awake the
moral conscience of the people and
arouse them to q uobler manhood!
Miss Ruth Strauch gave fine recitation.
What has become of the spirit of ''7e"
was asked of j. f. Bilhimer. He thinks
that spirit is in evidence everywhere in
the nation, but VIM Cole thinks that
spirit is buried for the time, else as
people we would not so passively sub
NIT to the rule of the money kings
Shall wo rs Farmers Clubs try to in
fuence legislation for the benefit of
farmers? was asked of Albert Strauch.
He said in his opinion, farmers should
have an equal representation with other
classes, and he believed in justice to all
and favors to none
At the meeting in December the
president suggested that all the club
members give a name to their farm
homes, and if the family could not
decide upon name before the time for
the club to meet at the home then the
club should name the home. In &C.
cordance with this suggestion, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Strauch's home will here
after be Known as Capitol Hill.
The next meeting will be at the home
of Mr. and Mrs julius Eveeth on the
21st day of February.
