NO FURNACE At co. FARM
THE COMMISSIONER WILL Do
NOTHING AT PRESENT.
other Pressing Needs of Greater
importance Say the Board
of Commissioners.

\ committee of ladies from the City
Federation waited upon the county
commissioners last Wednesday after
noon To see if it would not be pos
sible To convince the board of the
necessity of a furnace at the county
farm. The ladies' of the committee
were Mesdames Ewalt, Jennings. Hill
and Miss Jennie keim. Club women
and large per cent of the people
feel that ii would in the end mean
economy, to say nothing of the com
fort of the aged and helpless who
must stay there, to put furnace at
the poor farm. The idea is one far
from providing luXuries for indolent
ones or encouraging idleness. II
Is purely humane act; Il feeling of
pity for the aged inmates who are
unable 10 care for IA stove or light
without danger to The whole struc-
ture, and so must TO certain ex-
tent suffer from cold They feel
that it is entirely optional with the
commissioners who is sent to the
farm and that good judgment would
prevent the unworthy from reaping
the benefits of the real needy.
The commissioners, while fully ap-
preciating the interest shown, seem
to feel that to a certain extent, the
placing of what many would consider
luxury at the county farm would
encourage idleness, and desire to
be there. They claim. and it is true,
that there are many families over the
county in which are many helpless
children, who need care and could
but must have county assistance.
They feel that the inmates of the
county farm are comfortable and pro-
yided for far above the average in
mate of a like institution. Another
thing, the county has had heavy ex-
pense for paving and other unforeseen
conditions, and the commissioners all
feel that they would not be Justified

county general fund. And so for the
present at least, there will be moth
ing done in regard to placing the fur

A Fad With Younq People.

1t appears to be a fad in these
progressive days for young people
to attend church simply to visit
each other All through the service,
little groups can be seen whispering,
laughing and apparently innocent of
the fact that those about them came
for different purpose. We are
creatures of habit, but we ought not
to cultivate these habits that annoy
those in the same pew that came to
hear the sermon and enjoy the splen-
did music Remember the maxium,
that there is time and place for
everything, and surely young ladies
and gentlemen would not make the
house of God a place of amusement.
People expect at times to be dis
turbed by children, but are certainly
surprised when young ladies and gen
tlemen so far forget themselves as
to attract the attention of all about
them Do not form the habit of
visiting during church service, it is
not the proper time nor place for
that pleasure.
