A Woman's Letter,

Hailed as 'the master of feminism,' -
Marcel Provost endeavors to make
good his right to the title by the fol
lowing bit of philosophy: ''Is a wom-
ans hat meant to cover her head? is
a woman's sunshade meant to shade
her from the sun? Are a woman's
shoes made for walking or her be-
jeweled watch meant to tell her the
time? Why, then, should a woman's
letter be meant to convey her real
thoughts ?"-Exchange.

a few days ! recognized a marked

about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and Eve cakes Of Cuticura Soap in all,
and after few d.ys I was entirely

The next great forward movement
in Iowa must be the organization of
oranges and farmers clubs through
out the state. There is need Of a tre-
mendous awakening to the Importance
Of organization as a means Of agricul-
tural advancement. The effect of
these organizations on the community
is far reaching. Men and women
growing up in such communities have
strong attachments not only to the
business of farming and home making
but for the people of the community
in which they live. The remain on

Of 10000. Quebec has nearly six hun

How Sea Birds Drink.

Under the headline. Where Do They
Get Water? a writer in the Young
Folks Catholic Weekly says: when
l was a cabin boy ! often used to
wonder. seeing birds thousands of
miles out to sea, what they did for
fresh water when they we're thirsty.
One day squall answered that ques-
ton for me. It was q hot and glitter
ing day In the tropics, and in the clear
sky overhead a black rain cloud ap-
peared all Of q sudden. Then out of
empty space over hundred sea birds
came darling from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their
fill. In the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands of miles away
from shore. they get their drinking
water In that way. They smell out
storm long way off; they travel a
hundred miles maybe to get under 1t,
and they swallow enough raindrops to
keep them going. York Trib-

ture and domestic science into the
rural schools; the establishment OF
the parcels post, postal telegraph and
telephone service; and national and
state aid for highway Improvement.
While these influences have brought
benefits, great beyond calculation, yet
by far the greatest effect has been In
the betterment q social and intellec.
tual conditions in the home and in
the community.
Constantly travelling about the state
and visiting different localities ae I
do, find that the ease with which one
can tell where the grange exists is no
ticeable. There are better roads,
cleaner roadsides. better farming. bet
ter school houses and grounds. There
Is a spirit OF progress and real com.
munity interest that makes the place
good to live In. 1t is only when the
entire home Is represented. as In the
case Of the grange. that we obtain the
highest standards and the greatest
progress in the community.
The IN Of operation with which ]
am most familiar is as follows: The
membership Is made up Of twelve to
fifteen families. The meetings are
generally held every two weeks in the
homes of the various members Of the
organization or in halls built for this
purpose. During the winter months
the meetings are held during the day,
the program beginning about 10 a. m,
At 1880 temporary tables made OF
planks or boards are prepared on
which the lunch is spread. Every fam
lily brings a basket full of provisions
The family, in whose home the meet
ing fs held, Is not allowed under any
circumstances to prepare dinner. ex
cept to possibly furnish some coffee
pop corn, etc, as this would be Sc
rious burden. When the picnic lunch
is over, some of the little tots are
boosted up on a box or chair, or on the
table. to speak piece or sing song;
thus every member Of the family has
a part in the meeting.
Perhaps there is no more effectual
part of the meeting than that which
follows the lunch. The women visit,
the men put on their hats and go out
to inspect the stock. the barns and
the farm in general.
Was II worth the while? Yes, a
thousand times over. though It be con.
sidered from a purely mercenary
standpoint. But the greatest influence
was the stimulus to better and nobler
living. These organizations are nerve
centers of progress. They develop,
they educate, they push their mem
bers out of the old into the new and
better ways. They set their mem
bers, young and old alike, to studying
their own business. This means In.
terest in the daily work, love for the
farm life and the home life. This
means a useful and happy life. II
means intelligence. II means freedom
from drudgery which is labor with
out thought"
Let me plead with you personally
to do what you can to help in this
movement which means so much to
Iowa. You can render valuable serv-
ice IL you WILL When a community
becomes sufficiently interested. the ma
tional and state grange will send a
