many visitors met at the spaciou!
home of Mr.. and Mrs. F. w, Love
| March 4. ~
After all had warmed and ex
changed greetings, President Rush
called the meeting to order. Al
joined in singing the opening song
and Chaplain Sherman conducted
the devotional exercises.
The names of Mr.. and Mrs. II. B.
Half were presented for membership
and accepted
AS to whether the self-supportins
barn roof was strong enough for the
use of hay sings, Mr.. Sherman said
that it was just as we'll for the roof
to have the heavy weight of hay and
sings in the center of the barn AL
SO that it was a good roof to with
stand high winds.
Mrs. ]. D. Sherman who has had
many blossoms this winter. told Us
that she puts water on SCOT from thu
chimney and lets it stand for
day when she pours a pint of TIE
SCOT water into a gallon of clear
water, using this to water the plants.
She also uses ammonia water.
Housekeeping and Home Making.
In part, Mrs. Fauth says: "a good
housekeeper may be utterly devoid
of the qualities which make her m
ideal home maker, and much de-
ponds on the disposition of the house
keeper and the cooperation she gets
from her family.
"A systemized plan for doing the
household duties is a great help,
not so iron clad as not to Withstand
Interruptions, but general plan for
doing the work as quickly and as
conveniently as possible, leaving a
margin for general culture, such as
reading and social intercourse en-
abling her to better fill the high posi-
ton of wife and mother.
"The skillful hand and the Gull
tured mind are the home-makers'
most valuable assets.
"The first lesson t. learn in the
home-making art is TO ne content
with simple and common things. The
ornaments which make the fuwliest
dwelling beautiful and the poorest
family rich are kind looks, pleasant
voices, gentle manners, cheerful
hearts and simple affections.
Manners and order are excellent
virtues in the family, but carried to
excess prove to be daily torment TO
to all in the house. A good home
maker exercises good sense in dis.
eliminating between what must be
done and what may be neglected,
and yet be neat at all times.
Seek your happiness now from
the grateful Improvement of present
blessings and a cheerful submission
to present trial and then what ever
change the future may bring it will
find you the possessor of happy
home"
Mrs. Auiler led a very spirited dis
cussion.
What Will be the Result of the
Action of the Board Of Supervisors
Last Fall-1st the effect on the sup
ervisors; I'd, the effect on local OPP
ton?
Mr.. Sherman said the effect on
the supervisors was not the best,
while local option, in his opinion,
will carry by much greater MAORI
ty. Mr.. Love says seven supervis-
ors stood their ground like men and
the others ought to be ashamed of
their actions. He believes and hopes
local option would carry fifty to one.
The Comparison of the Lives of
ashington and Lincoln. Mr.. Love
gave a sketch of the life of each and
Mr.. Fauth read an article on the
character of each. Lincoln as well
as Washington was the man for the
day." There might be another
but never another Lin !
colin"
Clayton Potter spoke of Lincoln's |
ieep sympathetic feeling for all hui
nanity, both the north and the south |
luoting the statement. '.He was the J
greatest character since Christ" !
