The corn canning factory is closing
operations with larger output then ever
before. Lots of our farmers hesitated
about planting sweet corn last spring be-
cause the season was so late. Many, how
ever, reasoned that the fodder would pay for
the planting even if no merchantable corn
was obtained. And now behold the result!
1t was one of the most profitable crops for
years. 1t is up to the farmer to do his
part faithfully and then trust in Providence
that seed time and harvest will prevail.
Harvest Sunday was observed in al APP
proprate way last Sunday. The church
was beautifully decorated with flags, au-

good display of the fruits of the soil ar
ranged in front of the altar in an ar

ment was tasteful and appropriate. The
members of the grange assembled at their
hall and marched to the church IN body,
wearing their badges. Rev. J. W. Vaughan
gave very interesting and instructive dis
course. The choir furnished some excel
lent music, and everything passed off pleas
antly. All the samples of fruits and vege-
tables were left by their donors to be dis
tributed to the needy.
