Your homes are not surrounded by
gendarmes and spies. You can move
the consciences of your brothers; you
can demand that they put an end to
this horrible massacre, which sets on
the twentieth century in its infancy a
brand of shame.
If you will not do this, if our voice
rouses no response. then there are no
longer any human beings; there is only
a silent, unpeopled desert, on which
hyenas dwell. Then the proposed con-
gress of peace is, like the first, per-
fidious comedy, a PROCLAMATION, deri-
sion of the untold misery of wretched
people,

the Russian papers report that a hero
who received a decoration for courage
on the battlefield had not even shirt

that the injured rise from their beds
and rush into the lines eager to fight
again. The injured have no beds; the
moneys appropriated for the purpose are
stolen.

A Polish woman protests against this

in the name of those peasant women
who threw themselves under the car

who with their little children are thrust
helpless into the streets; in the name of
those who suffer, weep and curse.

the farmer, but thought the most sue
Ssssful speakers were those who COM
bined theory with practical agriculture
and know from experience the problems
which farmers have to solve in their
farm work.
The ladies told how they would
simplify farm work if they were men.
Perhaps the men can tell if any new
ideas were advanced.
When the gentlemen told how they
would simplify house work, the women
thought with the suggestions from the
men, if they could have things arranged
TO suit them, they could simplify the
work themselves.

Juice of Sect Cure for Locklaw

The following cure for lockjaw is
clipped from the Michigan Advocate
my, father (who has now passed
away was physician practicing over
fifty years, and cured many cases OF
lockjaw. Even after the jaws were
set they became relaxed and the pa.
hents recovered He often told Inc
that it was great outrage to let the
patient die of lockjaw as they have
done time after time in the hospitals
in this city. Then he told me what to
do-and which / have always done
whenever ] have accidentally cut my
hand or foot with rusty iron, and have
never had any serious results. He re-
ceived this knowledge from an old
French physician years ago. Take a
raw red beet, cut in half, and scape or
mash it to pulp and apply it to the
wound, and also to the palm of the
hands, binding it on like poultice.
The Juice of the raw beet will cure
lockjaw. 1t draws the poison out and
prevents it from spreading"

The Burton club was very pleasantly
entertained at the beautiful home of
Mr.. and Mrs VIM. Giles. Owing to the
busy season and late arrival of members
there was but short forenoon session
after which fine dinner was served.
The after dinner hour is always
much enjoyed by all and the time passes
far too quickly, although the program
is equally well enjoyed. The meeting
was again called to order by President
Peterson.
Song by the club, The Old Oaken
Bucket.
The question, How are we to know
the true value OF person, was well
answered by N. L. Randall, who said
that the right way to judge person
was by what they were doing. If they
were seeking the good of others they
were worth their weight in gold by
their fruits We shall know them"
Should we cultivate hospitality2
This topic created pleasant discus
sion, and we discovered the ladies were
very hospitable. Mrs Giles thought it
quite important to make things as
pleasant as possible for every body we
come in contact with, that style and
fine things were not essential to true
hospitality. Mrs. Sherman thought
that it is to our interest to be kind to
everyone, as one might entertain an
angel unawares
Mrs. Auiler said that as general
rule, country people were more hos
pitable than those Lying in the city.
Mrs. CARRIER gave an interesting sketch
of Secretary John Hay. A droll piece
of poetry entitled The Kicker" by Irv.
ing Auiler, created laugh
The arid west; what effect does the
cultivation of, have on the eastern
farmer? F. II. Rush did not think it
likely to effect the price of produce to
any great extent. G.. T. Mason said
the irrigation of the west was a good
thing. 1t was so far away it would be
long time before it could effect us.
Miss Guilford took a broad minded
view, said there was plenty of room for
everybody, that the prosperity of the
west could not injure the prosperity of
the east,
G. G. Potter's view was that there
was no necessity OF the government
taking it in hand. The people were
willing to irrigate their own land j.
Sherman also thought it right for them
to hew out their own farms, so to speak,
as the eastern farmer has DONE and not
impose a burder of tax on others.
President Peterson, as usual, had a
good idea to offer, which was, that we
could encourage the immigration of
good thrifty foreigners to settle these,
lands, would make homes for about
5000, 900 people, but would take an inn
mense amount of money and would be
a stupendous undertaking for private
capital.
The local farmers club. 1t was con-
coded by all to be capital as well as
a great help to the farmer in his bust
ness.
