Every family but one and large |
number of invited guests were most
cordially welcomed to the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. George Rush Friday
Augusta.
After the dinner hour President
Putnam called the club to order."The
Blue Bells of Scotland" was sung and

AS to the advisability of teaching
domestic science in the rural schools
Miss Ethlyn Peterson thinks 1t both
advisable and practical. The gaso-
line stoves could be used in the school
rooms as well as the home. Mrs.
Hammond does not believe the coun-
try girls need to be taught domestic
science as almost every girl is taught
to cook, bake and sew at home. Mr..
Fauth says the girls are taught, for
one thing, food values, OF which but
few country women know anything
about.
Does the farmer take as good care
of his health as other people? Mrs.
Fauth's opinion was that they do not.
The fresh air is help to them but
their hardest work and longest hours
come at the hottest and hardest time
of the year. Mr.. Fauth thinks they
are the healthiest class of people.
They have a diversity of occupation,
fresh air and simple, well cooked
food, which all tends to keep man
healthy.
Mrs. Putnam gave some pointers
on teaching child good manners.
She says we must first study our
children as rules do not always work
on all children alike. Then we
should set a good example, using the
same manners that We expect them to
use, for children are born imitators,
and manners thus learned will come
to be used second nature, Then
these things should be explained to
the child and a strict watch kept that
he may not forget.
How has the progress OF the past
century increased the burdens of
woman? Mrs. Love: "SOme OF the
burdens have been made lighter
while some have been increased. Az
present there is little or no hard sew
ing, knitting or spinning, but the
houses are larger and require more
work to keep in shape.
Mrs. Hammond read 1.-THE Banana
Circuit" showing the different planes
ir city life.
How can we improve our club?

this subject Rub up against other
clubs and Improve the whole batch

Mothers Position in the Home,
Mrs. Fauth. "Home without the
mother is cherries prospect. Tt

She can make 1t the center OF al
{ good and bring up her children 81
3 they will revolt from evil" She alst

, thoughts for mothers.
Is the hay loader a labor save
for the man at the carrier? Mr.
Peterson has hay loader and say
? he hardly knows that he has harvest
: ed twenty acres of hay, 1t was dom
so easily. MI. Albert Schultz pre-
y fers a side rake with the loader. Tn
. loader is labor and time saver.
