HELPFUL HINTS FOR FOWL
 GROWERS.

Dear Editor and Sisters or the Cor ner:-Mr. Editor ought to keep good natured, having so many of the sis ters calling him "dear" all the time.
 The time will soon be here to plant the garden, and I want to tell the sis ters in time to have their better CD half save a big corner for. them to plant some sunfowers for the fowls. The Mammoth Russian is the kind most used for poultry, although they like any kind. Plant a good lot, as they are good to feed in the moulting season, as they are a feather-f former and as good and much cheaper eff you raise them yourself than oil meal. When they are ripe cut off the blos- sorns and hang them up by strings to dry, for if they are laid down they are liable to get momdy; and mouldy food of any kind is dangerous for fowls. About quart is enough to give to 35 fowls It is also good to use later to fatten them for market. The stalks and blossoms are fine when they are dry for kfndling fires. They burn like oil.
 Be sure also to plant some nest egg Eourds. Then you can have nest eggs always on hand. with little cost.

A WEEK.
MATILDA.

Editor Social Corner:-A week seems to be very little thing, something which comes continually, which brings us a thousand little pleasures, a thous- and little cares. It is composed of days. of hours, of minutes. We arise, we dress, we talk, we make and re- ceive visits; we are wearied with things disagreeable, we are pleased with things agreeable.
 To each day we attach the idea of special occupation.
 Monday, what is it to the housekeep- CT but washing day! And what idea does the finest sky and the most de- lightful air awaken but a feeling of joy, because the clothes will dry so we'll; and this same Monday for the grammar, while Saturday calls up bright visions of many holiday pleas ures. A great part of a week is given to sleep-many hours passed in satis- flying the bodily wants.
 Thus many little things, constantly recurring, finish the week.
 But, may we not think of week in a different way? If life is important, the week is important also. for life is made up of weeks.
 What is there grand and sublime good or evil, that has not happened man dies. great revolutions take place in society, battles are fought, good actions, whose influence will never be lost, and evil actions which carry mis- cry to so many hearts-alI may be accomplished in one week.
 Then we will not dispute this pre- cious portion of our life: for does it not give us occasion of doing good to those around us? And may we not draw valuable lessons from the most common incidents of life?
 And in it's commencement the week gives us the Sunday, a day of peace and of sacred employment.
 The week never need pass without bringing us many happy moments, and somtimes events are contained in it which for the rest of our life are the subject of most precious memories.

A NICE LETTER FROM FAYE
 VERNA.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner:-What a dear little Cor ner this is! and how wise we will all grow if We keep learning from each other in this pleasant way!
 Sweet Lavender's oatmeal bread is just right to eat only I don't know how many of the sisters can til that 1t will keep moist long time, for my first lot hardly had time to cool I have just started enough for six loaves. Mine didn't fall one bit. I used short ening and kneaded in flour until it ceased to stick to the kneading board. It was as light as any wheat bread that l ever saw, and the cry at my house now is, for more oatmeal bread.
 imagine the most of us stopped worrying over bread, cakes and pies long enough to laugh and enjoy read ing about ''The Doin's at Socialville; ;'' and I thought when I read about the conditions in the community where Rural Delivery resides that-"there are others" I don't believe any one win try to match that story, and I guess Rural Delivery had better write again.
 I was very much interested in the letter from a Friend on "A Co-Oper- ative Family for it is pleasant to hear from mothers who enjoy theis work and are doing so much good in the world by starting the little ones on the road to happiness and prosper ity.
 ], myself, am the mother of four. and am glad that I am able to do all of my own work and sewing and find time for some Sunday school and church work. All but the baby in our family have each one their work to do. Mine are all boys, but they are not ashamed to wipe dishes and set the table, even when guests are present.
 Where children are allowed to help with the work it not only 1ightens mothers labor, but it makes the chil- dren more thoughtful of her in every way, because they realize something of the work that is necessary to make home life agreeable and healthfu1.

A group of young ladies were earn estly discussing questions relating to the proper observance of Lent wl1e1 one of them, Alicia Hebolt, said: Girls, have an idea"
 Do tell it, then. for it seems to me mine have departed cried vivacious Blanche. Alicia unfolded her plan as follows: Lent is nearly gone, and has been observed to a greater or less extent by us. Easter is now approach ing and nearly all are thinking of the new gowns we expect to wear. I have thought of this and although it was something of a struggle, I finally re- solved to take some of the money giv- en me for an Easter suit, to show some poor person that Easter means more than outward show, or purely personal eradication. Perhaps some of you have heard of Mrs. Godder She is a poor seamstress and has two children dependent upon her needle for food and clothing There are also Mrs Ray and Mrs. McGee who have chil- dren to support. Would it not be a pleasing service to band ourselves to- gether, and talk up some plan by which they could ins Easter see the beginning of all that is good and beau- tiful?'
 There was silence for a few mo- ments. Then Grace Dunbar said: 'sIt seems to me we all feel, in a measure at least, that self has been uppermost in our minds. It is true of me and now I am going to deny myself a new hat and so help a little in this work.
 The plan of Alicia's was pleasing to all and many different ways of work Tx a. a. cided that the three families spoken of by Alicia should be aided.
 Each girl chose for whom she would work, and then the questions, what they could do, how they could make a successful effort. came up for discus sion.
 her return she served each with hot chocolate in dainty cups. and fancy crackers and cake.
 Let us look more closely at the group. Nellie Ryder is the pretty, fair haired one in the easy chair by the window. Near her is Ida Rutledge, a dark eyed girl of nineteen or twenty summers. Agnes and Beth Coleman are twins, and Katherine Lebar and Ellen Chere, such dear friends that you seldom see one without the other
 All are daughters of we'll to do peo- pie. Alicia is the oldest. Ellen Chere the youngest, loved and petted by all
 After the light lunch was eaten, the girls began to talk again of what they could do. One proposed a new dress for each child and a suitable wrap fol the others. In addition to these arti- cles of dress a speaker was to be in vited who should come and deliver an address to the children, telling them of Easter and the resurrection. Dur. ing the service an Easter egg should be given each child. and afterwards an Easter offering should be taken A MT. Goodman was mentioned, as one we'll qualified to conduct this service Grace promised to write him and bring his answer at their next meeting.
 A little later each went to her owI home, planning busily some specia pleasure for "one of the least of these that would help even a child to ap- preciate the sacred beauty of the ap- preaching season.
 On the following Friday at half aft. CT two all the girls were at Blanche S Grace read MT. Goodman's letter, il which he promised to come and holt the service Easter afternoon. Hi.

 Ma" I hope you are having better luck matching chickens than I am. this spring. What do you do when the 'pesky' things decide to quit setting. after having set long enough to spoil the eggs?
 House cleaning time is here, and warm weather will come soon; and so wish the sisters would all send in their pet schemes for Tightening labor and saving time. Most of us have a few, don't we? I want to learn all I can. so that may have more time out of doors.

or purchasing and rehabilitating the
present system, which is declared to
be so woefully inadequate TO the city's
necessities.
A movement Is now on foot to hold
meeting of business men and prop
erty owners for the purpose of receiv-
ing suggestions as 90 the best method
Of procedure. No definite time has
been settled upon for a meeting but
those behind the project are sounding
number of prominent business men
every day. with a view of learning
whether or not they are really salts
lied with present conditions.
MI Brockett has spent much time
and thought in carefully investigating
every phase of the question and he
Is now open to suggestions from any
one who desires to see the city own
and control It's own source of water
supply and the waterworks system.
He believes that the time for action
has arrived. as the present company's
franchise expires In two years, and II
It is decided. by vote OF the people,
to build a new plant, II will take two
years TO do II.
Nothing can be accomplished with
out cooperation and especially the
cooperation of the people. Mr..
Brockett understands the matter
thoroughly and for that reason is
anxious that more than passing
thought be given to a subject of such
great Importance to every citizen. ANY
suggestion bearing on a proper and
satisfactory solution of the matter
will be received and these suggestions
can he threshed out at a meeting o.

are in favor OF the city council
issuing bonds in this sum Is a
question that could be pretty nearly
determined at a meeting of property
owners
At any rate, the fight for a munici.
pal water plant has not been given
up Mr. Broekett takes the position
that the people desire better fire pro
lection but at the same time do not
wish 20 bond the city unnecessarily
by paying an exhorbitant price fol
the present water plant. And under
these conditions. he fells that they
are ripe for some decided action.
