FAYE VERNA HOME
FROM HER TRIP.

To All Members of the Social Cor
ner: 1t gave me pleasure during the
week TO learn that a dear friend and
Sister of the Social Corner was anx-
iously awaiting Faye Verna's letter de-
scribing her trip out into the wide,
wide world, and 1 remembered that l
had not even dared to tell the Social
Corner folks | was going because it
hardly seemed that ] would get away,
and now that l am home again it all
seems like a lovely dream.
Words would fail me to describe to
you all the joys and pleasures of that
delightful trip to New York, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey. even If / tried.
While many of our Sisters were at the
New London county fair, we chat is,
Hubby and I and our four year Odd
were going towards New London for
we started on Labor day. We thor
oughly enjoyed the lovely moonlight
night on Long Island sound. and the
view of New York city which was be-
fore our eyes in the early morning
hours OF Tuesday. Then that ride
across the state of New Jersey on a
PENNSYLVANIA railroad express train
and about noon the reunion of an alb
sent member of the family and much
loved friends who made our brief stay
IT, Pennsylvania SO very pleasant that
time moved on wings with almost
lightning speed.
It would take too much space in this
most precious part of our Bulletin for
me to tell you of the places we visited
and the friends we greeted: but !
must tell you of my visit to the old
hcme where many happy care free
years OF my childhood were passed.
Time had wrought many changes in
the neighborhood. as many new homes
have been built. but the old home and

they did when I left there "A years

THE BLUE WILLOW WARE.

Social Corner Editor: For the bene-
fit of Widow Submit and others who
have interest in the willow ware l
send copy of the Chinese legend
which furnished the subject for all of
the different verses written about the
willow pattern.
Some years ago Tiffany, the jeweler,
became interested in the willow ware
and as a present to his customers he
had the history of this china traced
back to the beginning. He had a search
made throughout England by compe-
tent geneologists which cost him hun
dreds of dollars, but he was rewarded
by getting a good history of the willow
ware and the legend which has made
it famous. Probaly it is as correct as
any that will ever be obtained. The
willow ware is not all alike (any more
than the poetry and l could tell some
of the different kinds and dates, etc,
but think this letter would be too long.
The legend is the most entertaining, SO
send that as the first donation from

ANNA'S WAY OF TRAINING
DAUGHTERS.

Editor Social Corner: Here is one
little glimpse into our home life a few
years ago:
I have often thought I would like to
tell mothers of girls how I helped my
girls when in their teens, to know
how to manage when they should be-
come house and home-keepers, special
ly along some lines. We felt no need
of servants with three Mother Help
ers' in the family. My girls had lived
very quiet lives; and had but little
opportunity of learning the ways of
the world, outside of our simple home
life. We always practiced the little
courtesies with each other; and the
girls had been taught to have due re-
gard for others in many little thought
full ways.
Along a certain line 1 felt as if it
would be wise to give them a little
special training. I wanted them to
learn how to prepare and serve a.
course dinner; how to set the table
with all the extra dishes which this
would demand; also, how to use finger
bowls, and several other little things
There was only one day in the week
when we were all together. and that
was Sunday. Here l ran against an
obstacle to my plans. Would it be
right to take Gods day for any extra
work? I thought the matter over seri-
oasly, and saw a way out of my diff
Guilty. We would prepare everything
possible on Saturday, even to the pol
ishing of the silver. l talked my plans
with the girls, and they were delighted
and very enthusiastic over the pros
pect.
For our first dinner we prepared on
Saturday: CampbelPs soup. with dainty
crackers for accompaniment; had
roast all ready for the oven; three
kinds of vegetables ready for cook
ing; gravy thickening stirred up: jelly
all ready to serve; Spanish cream des-
sert kept on the ice till ready for it:
cohee ground: fruit dish filled and
nuts cracked.
After breakfaet Sunday morning I
turned the dining room over to them,
having previously instructed them
about the different plates, knives, forks

BURKE AND DAIRYING.

The Forum rejoices over the CONVEX
sion Of Governor Burke to the import
anca of the dairying interests of the
state. Time was when the governor
paid little attention to the dairying in
dustry. The Forum was compelled at
different times to call attention to the
indifference of the executive in this
respect. His veto of the dairy build
ing bill for the agricultural college
also occasioned comment.
But this has been labor Of love.
The Forum felt that if the governor
could be brought to a realization of the
Importance of dairying that he would
agree that something should be done
to advance the great industry.
Sometimes it was necessary to chide
the governor somewhat. Recalling the
old statements that the rod must not
be spared-that it hurt The Forums
tender feelings almost as bad as those
of the governor to give him an occas-
ional editorial spanking-and that 1t
was more blessed to give advice than
TO receive 1.-THE Forum stuck to the
task of converting Governor Burke.
Now that he has seen the light-The
Forum feels fully repaid for it's eff
forts.
The governor says he hopes the
present legislature will do more than
the last toward booming the dairy in
dustry. That is certainly encouraging
Now of the governor can induce him
self to do more than he did as governor
two years ago-when he vetoed the bill
in the interests of dairying-he will
have won great victory.

of the states, 1t was hoped and believed
that opportunities for such traffic were
at an end. In many Of the states they
are. Rigidly and honestly enforced as
to the printing, distribution and prep
aration OF ballots, there is no good
reason why votes should continue to
be bought and sold The Ohio law, in
all probability. was designedly left
open to evasion. That state has long
been notorious for electoral corrup-
tions. Vigilance in the enforcement Of
such law as that Of Illinois would
reduce vote buying and selling to a
minimum, and Illinois has REINFORCED
1t with one DISTINGUISHING vote sellers,
under which some convictions have
been found in localities much resem-
bling Adams county, Ohio. Strict en-
forcement of the law, and severe pun
ishment of election officers found vio-
lating it, should also be enough to put
a stop to the evil. If not, then the
wholesale Acknowledgement of the sell
ers would, in large measure, remove
the effect by removing their cause. A
larger percentage of the total vote OF
this country would be lost in that way
than most people suppose. But politics
would be purified by such losses. Our
loss would be our gain.

OHIO VOTING FRAUDS.

The wholesale electoral frauds and
graft in Ohio has startled the entire
country In one township in Adams
county every voter is disfranehised for
five yeaTs-and no one is eligible to
hold office. Commenting on the stu
alton The ST. Louis Globe Democrat
: has the following:
There are many people, no doubt,
to whom the fact of such wholesale
vote selling as has been uncovered in
Adams county, Ohio, win be a reyela-
ton. Nearly 1000 legal voters in that
county have been indicted for selling
their votes, and several hundred of
them have already pleaded guilty and
nave accepted the penalty, which is
that of Acknowledgement. This will
come as rude shock to many who
nave dreamed the dream that in syl-
van glades and messy dells, pure pa
tTiotism is still uncorrupted and the
sovereign voter Yields his ballot as

HARD ON SCHOOLS.

Governor Burke stated in his mes
sage to the legislature that he did not
favor appropriations for additional
buildings for any of the educational
institutions except the Minot normal.
This will not be very encouraging to
those interested in educational work.
The heads and trustees of many of
the institutions had hoped for new
buildings. In asome it is imperative
that more be constructed in order that
the present work can be carried on
and that the youth of the state seek
ing educations can be accommodated.
At the agricultural college there is
q crying demand for dairy building
in which instruction in that important
industry can be given.
A dormitory for the boys is almost
as essential. Other structures are alb
solutely required.
The case at the agricultural college
differs somewhat from those of others
institutions. At the A. c. the federal
government will cooperate in educa-
tional work, scientific experiments and
instruction and investigation-but one
of the demands is that the state must
at least furnish the buildings. In some
instances the federal government will
do everything else.
1t seems that when the state can
secure assistance from the government
1t is not wise policy to turn down
such proposition.
