Social and Lawn Fete.

The social and lawn fete given on
the lawn of ST. Bernard's church last
Wednesday evening was a complete
success socially and financially. The
hours were from until o'clock in
the evening aud during this time there
were present large assem- blage, the
lawn being nearly inadequate for the
people wins made this evening such a
delightful one. The grounds were
beautifully lighted, with japanese
lanterns which were hung on wire in
rows from the church to the parson-
age and from the road to the rear end
of the lawn where the postoffice was
located. PlentJ of flags, bunting and
| numerous flowers were used as decora-
tions The tables on which the eat
| ableswere served also contained neat
decorations. The evening was pleas
ant one, the atmosphere being very
warm, and of the ice cream and cake
that was served we can say that it was
ve,y good and appetizing Eleven
tables were on the lawn and all occu-
pied from beginning to end. Besides
this there was also the postoffice which
added much to the evenings festivit-
les. The ladies in charge of the affair
deserve much credit for their work and
the manner in which they conducted
the social aud lawn fete given on ST..
Bernard's lawn Wednesday evening.

Couutry Life.

Country life has ever been celebrated
Ia song and story for Its freedom from
the many shams and demoralizing in
fiuences Of city life which tend so
largely to narrow the sympathies of
the city-bred person, and to make him
callous, selfish and artificial, says the
Small Farmer. Life in the country en-
ables the mind to expand and the ca
pacities for enjoyment to grow in a
natural and healthy manner. The
pleasures that are supplied by nature
are not only more accessible than the
superficial pleasures of the city, but
they are also more refining in their in
fluence. The lives of Americas great
men bear striking tribute to this
truth. Most. If not all, Of our illus
trious men were born in simple coun-
try homes where plain living and high
thinking" early developed those sturdy,
upright qualities Of mind and heart
which in after years helped to make
them mighty leaders In every depart
ment of human effort-Green's Fruit

When to Plow for Corn.

Usually it is better to plow for corn
In the spring, because If the land is
plowed in the fall 1t has a tendency
to become solid-that is, run togeth-
err more or less by the winter and
spring rains, and this results in keep
ing the ground cold in the spring.
Corn, above most other plants raised
on the farm, requires warm soil rath-
er early in the season. Plow two to
three weeks. If the land is in good con-
dition, before the time of planting.
