| about 1890 o'clock, and by 1859
| were all nicely located in the house.
AS usual. the first thing on the
program was the bountiful dinner,
| which was served to the satisfaction
| of all.
After dinner, tho president, P. c..
Willoughby, called the meeting to
| order, and a song was rendered by
the club.
The president appointed as a COM
mittee on flowers: Mrs. Hurrell, Mrs.
Henderson and Mrs. Partridge.
A motion was made and carried by
the club, to not support any news
paper that is opposed to local op.
ton.
Question, No. 1-"How Would
Manage my Work if l Were Wo-
man." was assigned to Mr.. Day. He
said he could not very well answer
the question fairly for, at present, he
has to officiate in the house and out
of-doors.
Question, No.2 -"How Would I
Manage my Work if / Were a man."
was assigned to Mrs. P. G.. Willough-
by, who said she could not tell just
how she would manage, but thought
she would do a lot different from
some men.
Song by Mrs. Stewart, entitled:
"My Wife Gone to the Country"
which was rendered In very pleas
ing manner.
Question No. 3-"Is Cream Sep
arator a Help to the Farmers
Wife," u. d. Hurrell thought it
made more work for the men which
no one will dispute.
Recitation by Miss Eleanor Will
loughby entitled, 81 was an old, old
Lady" was nicely spoken.
Question No. 4.-"Should a Child
Have an Industrial Educaton?" Mr..
Hurrell thought it would be very
beneficial Mrs. G. NJ. Getman thinks
the industrial school needs a great
many notifications to meet the re-
quirements of the present day. p.
G.. Willoughby does not think the
county schools, or the lower grades
in the high schools as beneficial to
the pupils as they were twenty years
agoSto prepare them for a business
life. Geo. Detwiler thought the
schools of today are much ahead of
the old ones and the book knowledge
and the theory today is what pro-
cures the high priced jobs. w. S.
Carson believes that every child
should have an Industrial education,
and that Industrial and commercial
education go hand in hand through
the business walks of life.
Question No. 81 Glow learned to
cook and sew" Mrs. F. G. Love said
her first education sewing came
from her mother when she was a
small girl and started to piece her
first quilt. when her mother would
say, Sew the next seam straight
and make each stitch shorter" And
her first lessons in baking were pro-
cured when ma" went away, for
she always liked to be dabbling in
the dough.
w. S. Carson read very able pa
per on the different kinds of birds
that inhabit this part of the country.
A vocal duet by Misses Edna and
Lillian Wilkie entitled Help to Set
the World Rejoicing" was received
with applause by all present.
Mrs. e. Place read very able pa.
per OH local option.
Question No. 6: what influence
has the liquor dealers association"
z. D. Hurrell thinks they organize
to protect themselves against local
option. Mr. Carson said that any or
ganized force could accomplish more
than any individual could, and thinks
if the saloon men did not sell to min
ors, where would they get their
whiskey pickles?
Geo. Detwiler stated that even the
city of Chicago had petitioned for To-
cal option.
Song by Mrs. Stewart, entitled
Where is my boy tonight?" which
was very appropriate with the local.
option movement.
Question No. Z: Considering the
nigh price of feed how much should
the farmer receive per pound for
butter?" f.. O. Place submitted
some expert tests on the subject
from the government and stated the
farmer should receive thirty cents
per pound for every pound sold In
the United States.
