Mrs. w. ]. Willoughby for the Dec.
meeting. At 1870 President Green
wald called the meeting to order, all
joined in singing Greeting Anthem"
after which the chaplain offered pray
| er.
All were pleased to hear that Mrs.
Day and Mrs. Spalding were gaining
in health, but grieved to learn that
Mrs. Clapp was unable to be present
on account of sickness. After the re-
port of all committees reading of
communications etc., the hostess an
nounced that lap boards were in order
and then proceeded to serve an ex-
cellent dinner that was heartily en-
joyed.
At 1870 the meeting was resumed,
the election of officers for the next
six months being first, with the fol-
lowing result: President, A. F. Stew
art; vice president, c. G. Day; Sec
rotary and treasurer, w. s. Carson;
Chaplain, J. U. Miller; Director, w.
N. Smith. Song "Why do bells at
Christmas Ring" by George and Don
ma Willoughby was very much en-
joyed.
"Is it possible to teach morals and
manners in a country school and
how" Mrs. Stewart thinks it posi-
BILE, but that there would be less need
of it If the children had the right
start at home by way of example good
reading, etc., Mrs. Yale says the per-
sonality of the teacher has most to do
with the teaching of morals and man
ners. Some make better impression
on the scholars than others and thus
win their respect.
Recitation, "When she went to
boarding school" was given in Master
Leland Willoughby's pleasing way.
What was your best paying crop
this year; and how did you grow it?''
MR.. Stewart says sugar beets were
little ahead, with corn a good Sec
ond. He thought every one present
knew how to grow them. Mr.. Shultz
favored beets, Mr.. Sawyer hay, Mr..
Galloway considering the labor, re-
ceived more for red kidney beans,
and Mr.. Smith favors the hay crop.
"Do you believe the raising of sugar
beets will become general and per-
manent business in this section of the
country?' Mr.. Greenwald thinks it
depends on conditions and future
| treatment received from the Sugar
Company. If we receive all that just
| ly belongs to us or are even made to
believe that we do, it will make diff
erence, but we should not raise too
many beets or it will ruin the soil.
Mr.. Stiles says We cannot well dis
pense with the company. They help
| finances generally, make greater di-
versification of crops and are a good
thing. Mr.. Stewart says beets do not
hurt the land If not continued on the
same ground too long. He has re-
ceived thirty dollars per acre more for
the second crop than the first on the
same piece of ground. E. e. Bunting
thinks the raising of beets a perma-
nent industry If farmers will organize
and demand a price that will enable
them to receive a profit. Mattibel
Getman gave "The lunch counter"
and was encored then told what a
| phenomenon" was. Clara Getman
sweetly sang ''The Gift" and The
Little STAR
The best kind of floor for kit
chen" Mrs. Sawyer would have bass
wood or soft maple covered with Ii
noleum. Mrs. Getman if building
would have cement with base of ce-
ment also with drain in one corner.
Recitation by Florence Greenwald,
The German and the dog" was well
rendered. She kindly responded to
an encore.
A recitation by Donna Willougnby
completed the program. After giving
rising vote of thanks to the host
AMI hostess the meeting adjourned to
meet January 81 with Mr., and Mrs.
T. W. Galloway, when the following
program will be carried out: What
is the farmers most valuable asset?''
Why? Mr.. Willoughby, Mr.. Henderson.
Are girls less likely Than boys to
speak to their elders when meeting
them? If so why? Mrs. Place, Mrs.
Miller
What does it cost to produce one
bushel of wheat? Mr.. Carson, Mr..
Clapp.
How does Chinese sewing differ
from ours?Y Mrs. Stiles.
