Woman's S League.

Next Tuesday evening the ladies
of the American Woman's League
will give an ice cream and straw
berry social on the court house
grounds, the proceeds to be used
for the promoting of the Harrison
Chapter, the success of which is a
matter of interest to each and every
citizen whether or not they realize
the fact. We have worked hard for
our chapter and the fight is not vet
over. We need the cooperation and
interest of friends as well as the 10y
atty and earnestness of members.
Next Friday has been set aside as
Subscription Day, and upon that
day the ladies will be liable to call
upon you and solicit your subscrip-
tions to any or all publications that
you are in the habit of taking, and
perhaps induce you TO add few
new ones TO the list. Remember
that il costs you no more TO leave
your subscriptions with us than in
any other way, and by leaving your
subscriptions with the league you
will be helping your town to sooner
realize the advantages that will
come when the Chapter House is
completed. 1t should be matter of
pride with you to see this come to
pass as soon as possible. That it is
bound to come is certain. but
whether in one year or two depends
upon the loyalty Of its members,
and the loyalty of its members de-
pends in a certain measure upon
each and everyone who reads these
lines. Every little word of commen-
dation or condemnation has its
effect, and perhaps it is Just your
very influence that will cast the die
f n or against. Why not speed the
happy day for Harrison? Remem-
Der the league is too big concern
to feel the weight Of your criticism.
The league is going to succeed, If
anyone fails it will be your town to
get its chapter house, and that will
not materially affect matters at
headquarters Why not be on the
right side? ia Chapter House can
be secured this year for Harrison
why not have the satisfaction of
knowing that you helped promul-
gate the cause? We, as league men,
bers, will get the advantage of our
organization whether Harrison ever
has a Chapter House or not, but we
would be sorry to see our town lose
so great an advantage. fyou have
been accustomed to getting your
reading matter at club rates tell us
about it, We will be glad to let you
have it in the same way, Remem-
Der that we want YOU to pay no
more than you would have to pay
elsewhere For each and every sub.
scription that will be gathered in by
the ladies next Friday we want TO
thank you in advance. 1t will sure
ly be appreciated. Now do not for
get the social Tuesday night, Re-
member, all the Strawberries, ice
cream and cake you can eat for 10
cents.

A Day in the Country.

With strawberry time" came an
invitation from Mr.. and Mrs w. H.
Price to the Ladies of the Home
Mission organization to come to
their home on Baker Prairie" and
spend the day. On Friday the
great body moved and when our
procession was in full swing, there
were a score or more of the II. Ms
driving straight to Nature heart" p"
The country road with its stretches
of field, meadows and woodland,
and perfumed breath of blossom,
frightened the delights of the morn
ing and softened the rough places in
the going.
On our arrival the hearty welcome
from Host and Hostess was typical
of our old time hospitality and
strongly suggestive of a royal long
ago. The dwelling commands a
lovely view of Bakers Prairie, and
is in accordance with the spirit of
its surroundings. The wide-roofed
piazza, the ample and spacious pro-
portions of living room and the
Dining hall were not only assurance
of welcome but of the purest Ozone
of the mountain.
Mrs. Milum carried the Society
Work Basket which meant there
was something to do and all forenoon
or till dinner time all hands were
busy and tongues went wagging
over current" events of the day.
Of course drawn work and stenciled
scarfs were much mixed with Spring
ward-robes, Paper hangers and
Civic improvements but the domi-
nant thought was an expressed
sympathy for the living, loving ac-
cessories of the homelife-( the hus-
bands that could not come 1t is
said a good dinner was the primal
cause of the establishing Of our per-
manent seal of Government at
Washington D. c. and while Mrs.
Price had no politicians to soothe-
she fully understood the happy
effects a good dinner would have on
the housekeepers from town.
In the afternoon we had our liter
ary program for May and our de-
votional exercises were a fitting
close to the local work of the day
Stewardship in giving the one
tenth was stressed by Mrs. Wom-
ack. Tithing lis great aid
to spiritual life and as Christians we
are not only stewards of things ma
terial but of the manifold grace Of
God" We were glad to have Mrs,
d. f Evans of the Presbyterian
Church as our visitor and sharer of
our good times" AS the evening
shadows heightened, our circle dis
banded truly thankful individually
and collectively to Mr.. and Mrs.
Price for day in the country.

Many persons feel offended be-
cause their comings and goings are
not mentioned while those of others
are, and wonder what the matter can
be. The explanation of the matter
is that the editor means to be impair.
tial, but some escape mention. The
likes and dislikes of an editor have
nothing to do with it, and while it
is not pretended that the editor is
more than human he knows that
the success Of his journal depends on
his fairness and impartiality to all.
The Harrison times., 1911-05-20

TO see the opportunity is one
thing; to seize the opportunity and
wisely use it is another. Many do
the first but the number who do the
second is relatively small.
TO postpone the doing of some
kindly act TO an indefinite future
rarely amounts to anything. The
only sensible plan is to do kind acts
and say kind words as we pass along.

HOUSE ANXIOUS.
Awaiting Senate Action
On Canadian Agreement.
Fear Embarrassment in Call 10

Democrats Argue Free List Need
Not Stand In Way of Measure.

Washington May 21.-Democrats il
the House Of Representatives having
disposed OF practically all of their leg
islative program. except the WOO
schedule which is almost ready for
action. are worried over the puzziine
situation in the Senate, the chief fea-
ture of which is the Canadian reel
nrocity bill. The House Democrats ar
gne taat they took the reciprocity
agreement lust as it came from the
International conference and the Pres
idcnt. and passed it as matter of ma
tional policy without trying to encum-
Der It or embarrass the administration
with tariff riders. The farmers free
list bill, which followed Il, they argue
WAS an affair Of their own and need
pot stand in the way of the reciprocity
measure. for whose consideration the
extraordinary session of Congress was
called. Now they say that Republican
senate il juggling with the Canadian
agreement. Should the bill embodying
L be amended and the Democratic
House called upon to consider it in an
amended form the House leaders fear
that they might be placed in an embar-
rassine position.
one Democratic leader said today
that there were two forces at work in
The senate to amend the bill. one force
sincerely trying to strengthen the
agreement and the other seeking to
muddle affairs.
The Democrats are determined to
stay IN session until the Senate has
taken some action on the bill. If the
reciprocity bill is passed oy the SEN
ate after the House has disposed Of tie
wool schedule. some Democrats think
that the House would not insist upon
ANYTHING more than clear Indication
from the Senate that it would not act
on the other tariff bills. and that it
would agree to summer recess.
House leaders are gratifed that they
are out of the woods on the wool revision
question The WAYS and means commit
tees decision is that the revised wool
schedule Will not place raw wool on the
free list. but will cut the existing rate
very materially, from II cents a pound
to five or six cents a pound or its equiv

The bill providing for statehood for
Arizona and New Mexico will come up
for passage, By agreement. in the House
