Alhlellc Meet.

The Y. VI. &. A. boys Of this town
are going to give an athletic entertain
mcut In the Armory tonight for the
benefit Of the Normal School Annual.
1t will be remembered that these
events. I'm former years when the y.
NJ. G. a. was prosperous in our town.
were Of great interest TO the public,
and il is hoped that the citizens will
patronize this entertainment. Pro
fessors Nation and Jones have IL ia
charge and their is no doubt that il
will be "a success i'm every respect.
This interest in the physical de-
yelopmcnt Of the young men Of Farm
vile should lead our citizens 10 estab-
lish strong y. NJ G. a, in which
they will also be developed socially
and spiritually as well. II is the all

Keep Up With the Children.

There is i'm every community class
Of people who seem incapable of re-
ceiving any education outside Of their
own limited experience. Life runs
along easily enough for them until
their children grow up and begin to
look forward to something broader for
Themselves. Then the battle for SUI
pregnancy begins in earnest. The
child seems ungrateful to the parent
and the parent seems tyrannous to the
child.
II is very hard for a mother who has
laid down precise ideas Of how her life
and belongings shall be arranged, and
finds that life fails to arrange itself
according to her plans; to find that her
own daughter is one Of the chief oppo-
nents Of her ideas. And yet this iseX-
actly what happens to the woman who
fails TO learn. Progression is a law
of the universe, and one who attempts
To retard its wheels is sure TO be crush
ed beneath them. There is something
pitiless in the power that so often car
ries the child so far beyond tn e parent.
Il il the law ofheaven that loveshould
90 downward to the child-not back
ward to the parent. a true mothers
love il sacrificial Of self and asks no
return. No child's love, however ten
der can equal a mothers love, and ii
i, not natural that il should. a great
deal has been said Of the duty Of child
rem to their parents when every think
ing man and woman must recognize
that the chief obligation is due from
the parents to the children. One obi
CATION is to keep abreast Of the times
with the child, 50 that the parent may
be q mentor in times Of need-a safe
unfailing guide and companion not an
incubus. To do all this is to fulfil
the highest sense the trust heaven has
laid upon parents.

pute.
But for thread
We should rise up in our might,
Women should, and make a fight
For what we consider right,
AS we've said.
Never did we want to vote;
Never, never did we quote
Those who did, or even note
Their desire.
But when thsy our rights defy
Those who make thread prices
high
Then we've got to, or they'll fly
Them up higher.
