am sure, "Sad,e." all the sisterhood
will unite with me in thanks for your kind
Invitation to bold our reunion with your
self; and this invitation opens The column
to free discussion Of a reunion. Last
| year quite a number OF the sisters and
brothers attended the county grange pic
mic and field day exercises which were
held at the Biuehin mineral spring. 1t
has occurred to me that we might III that
gathering was held at the same place this
year, make that cur meeting place, and
| enjoy picnic dinner together.
Aunt Madge would be glad to welcome
every NJ. 4. member TO her own home and
have the reunion there, but IL, owing to
the distance some would have to travel to
attend both the range picnic and the re-
union, there were a number who could
only come to one such gathering, perhaps
more could attend the grange meeting,
and IL there should bs those who would
find the distance too far to return to their
homes that night, l am sure provision
could be made for their entertainment
among NJ. b. friends.
Please iesl free to suggest, and plan and
write about IL.

BOYS ON THE FARM.

Much printers Ink has been used In
arguing the question, pro and con, az
to why so many young men leave the
farm and drift to the cities, aud a
great many suggestions have been made
as to maj ling the hum drum Of farm
life more attractive to the boy. In
my humble judgment one Of the great
est causes for the growing distaste for
farm life among young men Is the fact
that many fathers try to make old
men out Of the boys as they are grow
ing UP. Expect them to follow the
plow six days in the week and IL per-
chance the boy wishes to take a
little drive on Sunday, he must hitch
up "old Fan and plod along like
some old deacon going to church. Now
"Old Fan" Is all right In her place. but
her place is in the pillow. And 1t isn't
right to ask the boy to hitch her UP
when he wants to take his best girl
ride. She, "Old Fam" not the girl
drags her feet along and claws up all
the dust In the road. Head on level
with her shoulders, while the city boy
dashes past her with q high headed.
knee-acting trotter, sleek as mole
The contrast Is too great. The boy
deserves better driving horse, and
he will stay with you longer on the
farm. II he hasn't a driving horse,
send him to me. have or 10 head
of good colts, and years old, am

wants to buy that way. These are good
colts and will bring 500 to $l25 In

Abba, June 24..-I4ast night was the
closing session Of the Christian church
convention. Rev. l. N. McCash, of Dies
Moines, one Of the leading ministers
of the denomination In Iowa, gave a
rousing address on "Civic Conscious
ness" The 'Fireside vs.. the Saloon"
was the golden text of his talk. Rev
MeGash was at his best and gave some
hard hits to those who are dead as far
as civic consciousness is concerned
He stated that a man may do better by
attending his party's caucus and help
Ing to nominate the best man, than to
go to his weekly prayer meeting on
that evening IL the two should be held
simultaneously. His speech was leav-
ened with kindly hurnor. which was
none the less hard hitting, as were his
statements Of practical things. ]. H.
Bryan also made a short address on
the work of the Sunday school teacher
Too many teachers are unprepared for
their work, both intellectually and
spiritually. It is of vital importance
that one who undertakes the respon-
sibility Of teaching should be equipped
sufficiently to do successful work.
