est meetings Of the year.
After a social time and a bountifu
dinner, the meeting was called to or

The program was opened with the
question, Should one always express
just what he thinks? Charles Free.

withhold some of it.
Would 1t be profitable for some one
with proper appliances to go about
spraying fruit trees? Mr.. Miller
thought it would not pay the man who
did the spraying as so few make bus
mess of growing fruit, but after they
found cut the benefit of the spraying
they would probably patronize. Chas.

have their orchards pruned and Guilt.
waited and in the proper condition to
receive the application.
Our country schools, what do they
need most? Mrs. L. d. Carson read a
very instructive paper. Better school
houses are needed and better teachers.
II more wages were paid 1t would be
possible to procure normal graduates,
who know how to teach. Each child
should be treated according to his own
special case. What would be suitabl
for one would cot do at all for another.
The greatest need is the rural high
school. Chas. Cook said that if there
were high schools In the country the
city children would be attending them
as wholesome conditions are there
which are not to be found in the city.

rural high school in Indiana which
was last year placed on the U. of M.

make farming more profitable? Mr..
Smith thinks sunshine and occasional
showers is what is most needed just at
present. He favors mixed farming.
Be careful in buying new seeds very
extensively. A farmer should raise all
that he consumes. Mr.. Day said do
not sell wood ashes but put them on
the land.
What do we gain by worrying? Mrs.
@. Greenwald read an excellent paper
on the subject part Of which is as
follows:
We gain nothing good and helpful
to our lives by worrying, the cheerful
people live the longest. Difficulties
and troubles II bravely met with make
stronger men and women. Think OF
the effect your gloomy appearance will
have on those around you, for sadness
and gloom are no less contagious than
JOY and sunshine. Worry kills more
people than disease. Just keep record
for month and see If you do not
worry over good many things that
turn out all right. Don't bring worry
to the table. 1t will aid your own di.
