than one. The commissioner has too
much to look after, hence necessary
work is left undone. The old system
of pathmasters is far preferable. The
speaker thought the county system
should be voted down. Messrs. Sher-
man, Brookins, Fauth. Hammond and
Giles also condemned the new system.
The ladies' topic, Preparing the
Winters Clothing"-Mrs. M. L. Peter
son said in reference to this, 1t is wise
to prepare an abundance of nice warm
fannels. Mrs. w. J. Brookins believes
in commencing very early in the
season to get winter garments in read
mess so as to be prepared for cold
weather when it comes.
A pleasant feature of the meeting
was the presence of J. ID. Post, who
gave graphic description of the west,
where he has spent the past year
looking in vain for better place than
Michigan for himself and sons to locate.
He has returned to his family and
friends satisfied with his home state.
Mr.. Post says that the people out west
think an eastern man is either foolish
or crazy to go west as the financial
stringency is felt much worse there
than here
In speaking of western Washington
Mr.. Post said that in Michigan we
would grumble if we had six weeks of
March weather, but there they had
sixteen weeks of disagreeable, rainy
weather, and could not even raise good
hay. Their hay is black and mouldy,
green wheat being principally used
for hay. Potatoes do not ripen, fruit
is tasteless, cabbage soft, parsnips and
carrots good if left in ground, beans
grow well if one has dry kiln to cure
them in. In eastern Washington they
irrigate and raise wheat, fruit and
garden stuff A good home can be
bought here much cheaper. This in
teresting talk concluded the program.
The next meeting will be held with
MIR. and Mrs M. L. Peterson.
