JOLIETTE.

some weeks ago few OF the people
living in the neighborhood of Toilette
decided that there should be some sof,
of an organization in the commu unity
which would afford opportunity TO,
social life and any other benefits desired
and after some talk and one or two
meetings an organization was perfected
and a constitution adopted, with the
name, Farmers Improvement Society -
The purposes are social, literary and
more particularly the free discussion
and consideration of the problems OF
farm life as they are known in this
section. Meetings are held in the
Town Hall each Wednesday evening,
and have been we'll attended. The
programs have included the discussion
of the raising of wheat, corn, cattle,
hogs, the dairying interests, ETC., with
the men who have had success in the
various lines relating their experiences
and giving such advice as they have
found good under the local conditions.
Two social meetings have also been
held, with interesting programs furnish
ed by local talent, and some topic of
interest discussed at each of these as
we'll.
At a recent meeting the question of
reciprocity was debated, and the de-
bate was followed by the adoption of a
ringing protest against the passage of
the reciprocity bill, which was ordered
sent in the name of the society to the
senators and representatives of North
Dakota in congr S. community being
appointed and authorized to present the
resolution in suitable form.
At the meeting of last week the topic
was "Dalrying," and the chief interest
conferred about the market for the
cream which the farmer could produce.
This was given point because Of the
fact that local representatives of a
large creamery had been paying price
higher than the nearest local creamery
could afford to pay, and because of this
fact the local creameries had been COM
PEELED to run at loss, and would soon
have to close their doors unless better
supported. 1t seemed to be the unani-
NOUS sentiment of the farmers present
that they owed it to their ncighbors and
to their own interests in the end to
patronize the nearby creamtries, par
tlcularly the one at Bowesmont, rather
than allow competition IN the creamery
Business to be killed, and be at the
mercy OF another combination. 1t was
pointed out that one or two could not
bring this about, and while no definite
action was taken as a body, the atten.
ton of all was directed to the subject
and it is probable that the coming
season will see a good patronage of the
Bowesmont creamery on the part of the
farmers of toilette.
The discussion of these subjects can
not fail to be of great value 10 those
who attended the meetings, and the
people of toilette are to be congratulate
ed upon their enterprise and the en-
thusiasm with which they have taken
hold OF the organization. 1t is intended
to be permanent affair, meeting week
~ during the winter and probably
monthly the busy part of the year. III
o ncers for this year are, Mrs. G. A.
Wells. president; M. D. Assestine, vice.
president; B. j. Parson, secretary; w.
+. Storules, treasurer.

on their way to Alberta. On the other
hand the Canadian authorities are try

the money looked so much alike in

It is an easy matter-when you know

was very much more in evidence In int
old DAYS, before the Spanish-American
war, than now, but in later days, II
has been the object of those designing
the uniforms to make as inconsplcuous
as possible the mark designating the
ranks of officers, to prevent their be-
ing killed in battle by sharpshocters.
Formerly the officers wore gold braid
ed shoulder straps on blue uniforms
Now, the insignia for officers consists
merely of silver or gold colored pars'

it is possible to make them, worn on
