bought an elegant building site, one

will be built. A large brick house
that stands on the building site will
be moved to one corner of the lot and

The supreme convention of the P.
e. o. sisterhood is to be held in Mt.
Pleasant, October 5 to 8. Fully It's
delegates will be in attendance in
addition to large number of visitors.
Unusual interest attaches to this con-
vention, since it was in Mt. Pleasant
that the sisterhood had its beginning
forty years ago. Harlan hall in the
old main building of Iowa Wesleyan
was the meeting place of the young
women who effected the organization.
Started as purely local society with
no thought of expansion the sister
hood has grown to large proportions
and now has over 800 chapters in
many of the states and more than
$4,000 members.

ference of over 3S,0O0,000 bushels. Con-
ditions have been very unfavorable

that the crop will not be a bumper
one.
