PRAYER ANSWERED.

Dear Sisters of the Social Cornerf{
I know you will all agree with meg
that our Heavenly Father does an
swer PRAYER Perhaps there are few
people who do not recognize the power
of prayer and in cases of emergency :
even those who are not Christians will
seek the Heavenly Fathers help. a,
minister while trying to help a poort
fellow once asked him if he ever pray
ed. His answer was: Yes. parson,
when / get in a tight place" But a
most of us of the Social Corner, be-
lieve, recognize and accept the power
and help of prayer in our daily lives
Recently there was brought to my
notice an illustration of Gods wonder
full power IN making use OF the NIUE
things to accomplish certain results
when the apparently trlfl1ng mistake
of a child made the means or
bringing about an answer to prayer
and a course of events which 1nflu-
enced many lives, and 1 could but say
with the poet, truly
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform,
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
M Roena said in beautiful letter
a few weeks ago. that our hves are
made up of little things. That is true
indeed, yet how far reaching in their

Dear M. Luella What delightful

POEMS THAT CHEER
Life's Common Things.

The things of every day are all SO
sweet
The moving meadows wet with dew;
The dance of daisies in the noon, the
blus
OF far-off hills, where twilight shad-
ov's lie
The night with all its tender mystery
of sound
And silence. and Gods starry sky!
oh, life.-the whole life-is far too
fleet,
The things Of every day are all so
sweet.
The common things of life are all so
dear.
The waking of the warm halfgloom
To find again the old, familiar room,
The scents, and sights, and sounds
that never tfrs,
The homely work, the plans, the lit
of ba oy's laugh
The crackle of the open fire;
The waiting. then the footsteps COM
ing near,
The opening door, the hand-clasp
and the kiss.
To Heaven not after all the Now and
Here
The common things of life are all so
dear. Anon.

TRAINING THE CHILDREN.

Editor Social Corner: Parents must
cooperate in training children. other
wise their efforts will have been USE
less.
For exampie-If either parent has
occasion TO correct or punish a child
the other parent should never inter-
fere Or make any remark concerning
the manner of punishment. At an early
opportunity the parent who thinks
the child has been unjustly treated
may talk the matter over with the
other parent, pointing out any errors
ana offering suggestions. But. never
under any circumstances should this
be done in the presence of the child.
Another rule for parents to follow
with children is to keep whatever
promise they make to a child. even if
it is the promise of a whipping If
they think twice before making it, the
promise will be easy to keep. Don't
let them lose confidence in you Chill
dren are born imitators; therefore, if
parents fail to keep their word with
children. how can children be expected
to keep their word with parents?
It's a poor rule that will not work
both ways
Manner is another essential point
The little tot of two years, who may
be just beginning to talk, is not too
young to learn manners. How cute
and well trained a little miss of two
mel" when she wants to be taken out
of her high chair after the meal is
over.
Habits form quickly with children,
and what better habit can a child learn
than that of being polite and mannerly
At an early age teach children to
be careful of their own personal ap-
pearance; in other words-to want to
appear neat and carefully dressed.
Teeth brushed; hair combed; clothes
whole and clean, and their bodies
sweet and clean. Such habits formed
il. youth make neat men and women
who Will despise to be slovenly and
carelessfy dressed.
To be Kind ana unselfish toward
each other is another valuable lesson
the child should learn: and to be
thoughtful and considerable of the older
people.
1t would seem that at this age par
ents require a never failing bump of
patience.
And they must not allow themselves
to get behind the times. We are liv-
ing at Very fast pace these days
therefore it behooves parents to en-
deavcr to keep up with youngsters; to

Comrades-That's what parents and

MA MAKES AN EARLY START.

Dear Sisters and Brothers of the
Corner: Pa and | have been busy all
week getting ready and placing the
pullets in laying quarters. Most poul-
try keepers do this in October. 1t is
just as well to change them early, so
they will get settled and feel at home
in the new place some time before they
are ready to lay.
Changing, buying hens and bring
ing them into a new place, allowing
strangers to gather the eggs frlshten-
ing or disturbing them in any way,
will usually stop their laying for a
month or more. This is a. good month
TO buy new blood.
We took the nests down, and every
thing movable, whitewashed them, and
the inside of the house, all over, floor
and all. / put crude carbolic in the
whitewash and put it on with a spray
ar. We took the dirt out and put new
in, and washed the windows. L will
leave the top row of windows out later
and put muslin on.
I gave them dry mash of wheat
bran, beef scrap and linseed meal.
will feed milk and see how much 1
can get them to eat of as great a va
riety as l can get There is no danger
of growing pullets getting too fat.
Still, without enough exercise, their
digestive organs might become injured.
l am expecting them to lay early.
l am cutting my sunfioWers as soon
as the petals dry up. l hang them up
to dry. as when they are lain down, or
punched, they mildew.
My nest egg gourds are doing well.
will let them dry on the vines; then
they will keep.

Aline: One Christmas a friend sent
ma a scrap book. This book gave me
an idea for another Christmas. Early
in the year is a good time to begin to
save clippings. 1t is easy to make

Sisters of the Social Corner: I have
been wondering if any of the Corner
sisters rode by my home' in the Leb-
anon East Norwich stage. They look
ed so smiling I wished they would
wave their hands.
I had a friend to dinner who never
saw anyone put sugar in green corn
before boiling. I thought I was eyed
rather sharp. I put a dozen large ears
in saucepan. early, SO as to let it
partly cool in it's cooking water, part
ly covered it with cold water-half'

spoon of granulated sugar and sifted
over, and some salt. 1t improves it.

The next house entered was that
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Kelly, at 80
Mandan avenue. They too, were aD-
sent from home, and while their
trunks and bureau drawers had been
thoroughly searched it does not ap-
pear that anything was taken, though
Mrs. Kelly's watch was left within

ed it. Money and diamond jewelry
seemed to be the only object of his
search.
Shortly before six o'clock Satur-
day evening it appears that a stran-
ger purchased ch:sel at the store
of the Bismarck Hardware company,
and this chisel was used in forcing
an entrance at Hiltgen's house, but
in his haste to get away the chisel
was left at Conklin's where it was
found by the police. The chisel was
identified by Walter Tomas, mana
ger of the hardware store where 1t
was purchased, and he gave the po-
lice vivid description of the man.
While the police have an idea the
robber made his way to Mandan, ev-
cry town in this part of the state was
notified. All the trains passing
through the city were watched but
as yet no trace of thu mysterious
man has been secured.
