ouslE voted that the members take part
IN the Independence day parade to be
heId on Monday of tercentenary week.

VIII be In tho city during that week 1t
Is expected that the parades of auto
mobiles Will be one of the brightest fea-
lures of the celebration.
Il resolution was also passed by the
club to the effect that the club mem
beers heartily endorse Mayor Rurke's
stand on the enforcement of the State
law limiting the speed of automobiles to
Ten mites an hour inside the limits Of the
city The members also approved of
using the utmost caution in passing cleo
trlc cars as passengers are apt to swing
or the platform Unexpectedly, thus maxi
ing an unavoidable accident. even IL the
machine is travelling at a lesser speed
than the law allows,
The members stated that many grocery
teams in the city were driven at a
speed much in excess of ten miles an
hour, which is even more dangerous at
mat speed than automobiles for tho
drivers Of teams can not lessen their
speed or stop their vehicle nearly as
quickly as can TIE drivers of automo-
blles
Complaint was also made that MANY
teams We're left standing about the civ
without being hitched. This is a viola
ton of the city ordinance and causes
automobilists much trouble, for in somo
instances they are Obliged to stop their
cars and attend to the animals person
ally.

BOOKKEEPING ON THE FARM.
Important Point That Seems TO Con.
earn GsRfcuiturists Altogether
Too Little.

IL may be necessary to give up all
cherished hopes for our life. work az
planned and partly entered upon, and
betake ourselves to farming to get
the outdoor life and activity which In
demanded If we expect to remain in
good health. We are like boys at
school now, and must endeavor to
learn how to do everything required
In the best possible way. If future
conditions demand less detail in any
OF our methods we shall cast out what
is useless; on the other hand, greater
elaboration and omre care may be
found requisite to attain the ends
desired in a satisfactory way.
We are determined to learn all we
can by experience of our own and
from the experience of others. For,
whatever we do in the years to come
in the line of outdoor work, be il
truck gardening, light farming, raising
poultry, or bnoeding live stock, it is
our intention to be thoroughly bust
ness-like and aggressive to the extent
that changed conditions of health de-
mand. Whatever we do shall be we'll
done and according to approved
standards--and there is no better
guide to profitable activity for the ag-
gressiye. ambitious business man than
an efficient method of accounting, as
simple as circumstances permit.
Many farmers now struggling 10 pay

gagged properties might be happy and
prosperous and owe no man II they
could be brought to the point Of will

A Few Words to Fools.

There is fool born every minute.
so we are told, but there is also a
great mortality among them. There
are fewer active ones alive to-day
than there were last week, or than
there will be next Monday morning.
IL seems useless to say much to this
kind of people. bus we do wish to give
few suggestions In the interest of
those who are not fools. but friends
and relatives of fools.
Bnless you are "a expert boatman,
do not take boe' out on the water
and in no event unless you are able
TO control all those who are in it.
DO not try to see how deep you can
dive nor how far you can swim into
danger.
Do not try to see il your automo-
bile can make 40 miles an hour as
guaranteed by the. man from whom
you bought II.
Do not blow your brains out simply
because the girl doesn't like you or
because you can't pay your debts. Let
others do the worrying.

Holland Lives Up to Her Pictures.
Holland is one European country
that looks like her pictures. There
is no better use for the word quaint
than to apply it to Holland. The
farmers really wear wooden shoes.
The land really is diked. Black and
white Holstein cattle really pervade
the landscape. The men really wear
blue jeans shirts outside their trousers
as they work in the fields. On hun.
dre6b of heads of women in any
crowd the silver hair baskets, covered
with lace net, really may be seen. The
girs and women are really red
checked, without artificial coloring.
Inc fields really abound with via
flowers and windmills really sway
them gaunt, awkward arms in the
Wind. There is no sham, no pomD
