meeting. Delegates elected te

meetlng. delegates elected to
Branch convention at Minneapolis,
Oct. 10th, were Mesdames Kumm
and Dubois; alternates, Mesdames
Hitchcock and Parrish.
We learned from the report of
Mrs. A. E. King that the society has
81 members with an average attend
ance of 80 at the meetings, and Al
text books, GLORIA Christi" in use.
The mite-boxes were then opened
and satisfaction expressed with their
contents. In fact the financial state
ment was quite cheering. The mis-
sionary supper netted $38. Alto
gether $110 had been received this
quarter on special work, and there
is more to follow An aged member
had pieced wooden quilt and pre-
sented it to the society for sale. She
was given standing vote of thanks.
Mrs. Dubois, assisted by her young
ladies of the choir, served the mem
bers and guests with dainty two
course luncheon.

Missionary SOciety's Annual Meening.

How thoughts throng the mind on
anniversaries? The missionary
women asked themselves, have we
done all that was possible in this
work? They met with Mrs. Dubois
at the Methodist parsonage on Tues
day. Mesdames Cowgirl, Gold and
Burmeister took part in the devo-
tionals. Roll call responses were
Scripture verses.
The usual lesson study had been
dispensed with. Mrs. Lusk gave a
a paper on Famine Work" 1t
mentioned briefly the famines of
history, also those of modern times,
but dwelt chiefly on the recent fam
ines in China, India, Japan and
Russia. Causes were given as being
excessive population, drought, floods
and war. The important part mis-
sionaries had taken in their alleyia-
ton was stated. Americas liberal
ity toward the Chinese famine of
last year has done much to cement
the friendship of the two countries.
Ex-judge Booth Tucker General
Booths son-in-law) has introduced
the cassaya plant in India, giving
hope to that country. Cassava de-
fies drouth, so it is hoped that when
the rice crop fails, tapioca will sus-
tain life.
The president, in calling for the
election of officers for the ensuing
year, emphatically declared that it
would be for the benefit of the So
ciety to elect new president. She
did not succeed in convincing the
women, as they unanimously re-
elected her. The list runs as follows:
Mrs. Gold, president; Mrs. Hitch
cock, vice-president; Mrs. Kumm,
recording secretary; Mrs. Parrish,
corresponding secretary; Mrs. Bur-
. meister, treasurer; Mrs. Lusk, press
correspondent; Mrs. Sour, Supt. of
mite boxes. Thanks were voted to
the officials of last year. Also res
olution of sympathy to Mrs. H. D.
Woodwork, who met with an acct

INLAND WATERWAYS.

President Roosevelt is honestly ana
deeply interested in the improvement
of our inland waterways, and has done
public service in appointing a COM
mission to investigate and report. The
President yesterday transmitted to
Congress the report of the commission
together with a brief message, in
which lie makes a number of timely
comments The President insists that
all the uses of the streams for which
nature designed them must be pre-
served. 1T is poor business" says he.
to develop river for navigation in
such way as to prevent it's use for
power, when by little foresight it
could be made to serve both purposes.
We cannot afford needlessly to sacri-
flee power to irrigation. or irrigation to
domestic water supply, when by taking
| thought we may have all three. Every
stream should be used to the utmost.
No stream can be so used unless such
use is planned in advance. When such
stead of interfering, one use can often
be made to assist another
The measure of every nations great
ness is to be taken in the provision
which it makes for the future-for
posterity The nation which is so
blind, so lacking in foresight or so
selfish as TO squander its resources and
take no thought for the morrow will
soon retrograde and become weak. This
generation must plan and cconomze
and make provision ahead as though
It were going to live thousand years.
1t must lay the foundations now ana
prepare the way for complete develop
ment to come by and by. 1t must help,
and not kinder, the generations to come
| by robbing them of Natures gifts. That
| is the sum and substance of Mr.. Roose-
! velts timely message. He especially
! warns us that We must not allow the
! corporations to grab and appropriate
! the forest reserves, nor allow the rail
