The Art Club met with Mrs. w. A..
Heimberger Monday evening, and the
feature of the program was the man
ner in which the members were attir-
ed in costume. Each member i'm
personated some book character by
costume, and it vas a pretty array
of gowns that was brought together
in this delightful way. 1t formed sort
of a study to ascertain the character
represented. Three prizes were award
ed-one to Miss Edith Miller for nam
ing the most book authors, to Mrs.
Virgil Boyles for giving the best story
of the impersonation and to Mrs.
John Colvin for the best costume. The
evening proved a very enjoyable one
to all.
March is making a new record in
several different ways this year, and
in turning back over the leaves of
the record book there is nothing like
it in any of the past years. Beginning
with the very first day OF the month
the weather has been a continued
improvement, until it has become a
belief that the good weathe:
is going to be the same through the
month of April. No previous March
has displayed such a continuation of
good weather and it reached the eli
max Monday afternoon, when the
mercury went up to sc as the warmest
of the day. This act of the o.ercury in
reaching so high a point in March has
not been duplicated in years.
In many parts Of the county Mon
day the farmers commenced to SOW
wheat although it vas not the first
sown, some farmers having made a
start on Thursday last. Monday, how
ever, farmers coming into town from
the ror,h and northeast sail they saw
quite Il few men in the fled putting
in their wheat. 1t was sort Of a queei
comparison that some noticed. In one
field a farmer was sowing wEeat while
Just across the road arother farmer
was in the act of gathering lis corn
crop, which is bringing the beginning
and the end pretty closely together.
The ground is in fine condition for
blowing and seeding purposes, and
mas ii sufficient amount of moisture
to start things along in fine shape.
