HANCOCK POMONA, l3.

The meeting of Hancock Pomona " 18th
Brooklin grange Feb. 8 was one of
the most enjoyable meetings held in
this county for a long time. The
day was perfect, the travelling good and
every body was there. The meeting was
called to order on time by the worth
master, and the roll-cail of officers found
but few absent.
Miss Marie Jordan, the efficient secre-
tary of the host grange, gave the address
of welcome, and B. K. Sylvester responded.
The representatives Of the various oranges
in this jurisdiction reported that they all
were in fiourishing condition. The de-
gree team Of BROOKLYN grange mastered the
work Of the fifth degree and conferred 1t
upon class of thirty-eight candidates in
ar able manner, under the leadership Of
Prin Allen.
Frank Closson opened the topic, 'To
what extent are We helped by the
granger" in the absence of o. l.. Flye. He
was followed by many OF the .'talkers'.
Then many OF the members spoke on the
following subjects: (a) The animals that
bring me the best returns. (b) The crops
that pay me best. (c) The things do on
the farm that are the most satisfying.
These all proved interesting and instruc-
tive.
Mrs Gilbert S. Candage rendered a
pleasing original poem which showed that
some people will buy pig anyway!
Brother Roy Henderson was called for,
and responded with a song, which was
well received. Fred Green, although
naturally OF very bashfuI and retiring
disposition, simply had to give one OF his
inimitable readings, which only served to
whet the appetite for more, and he was
forced to give another. These features
certainly were great hits.
Herbert Il. Hale, of North Brooklin.
chairman Of the brown tail moth contest
proposed an amendment to the vote taken
at the last meeting whereby it was voted
to offer two cash prizes to the oranges
gathering the largest number OF nests in
proportion TO the membership, and it was
voted to give the committee authority to

The United States department OF agri-
culture calls attention to the fact that
American foul brood has been found TO
exist in Hancock county.
The department has no means of know
ing how long the disease has existed in
this region. but desires to notify bee
keepers OF the trouble and 10 suggest that.
IL not already informed concerning the
disease, they inform themselves at once.
Very frequently colonies OF bees are de-
stroyed by disease and the loss is at
tributed by the bee-keeper to some other
cause. Farmers bulletin No. 4i2, sDThe
Treatment OF Bee Diseases" gives a de-
scription OF the brood diseases and
methods OF treatment. 1t will be sent
free on request to the Secretary of Agri-
culture, Washington, ID. G.
Attention is also called to the fact that
the brood diseases do not at all injure
honey for human consumption, SO that
there need be no fear on the part of pur-
chasers OF honey.

Dear Aunt Madoe:
Still tramping. To-day, June l6, we go over
to Boston. We take electric cars. both sur

enough on our starting out, but now, at / p.
m, it rains hard. But at 2so it is clear again.
How tickle! The air seems to be, and is, cool.
This minute the weather is as fine as fiddle
in perfect tune. But how long will it remain
so? That is the question. Perhaps for half
an hour, maybe longer or shorter, but not too
long, sure.
At any rate, whatever is and whatever is to
be is all right and will be all right / can
imagine that if each of us had our own way in
the making Of weather, we would be in a
think we had better hold our tongues from
grumbling about il. We cannot change it to
our liking, anyhow. Just now, at sunset the
sky has blue, cold look.
don't think that this day all through can
properly be called as much of an ideal day as
was yesterday, but have no doubt of it ft-
ting perfectly in the great plan of days. The
wheels of the worlds machinery are running
smoothly, whether we think so or otherwise.
The thing for us to do is, catch on and go
with the general trend of the great varieties.

CHRISTIAN ENOEAVOR.
Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Reo;nnino Feb. 1S, 1912,


Topic.-"No" and yes" when to say
,hem.-Ps. lvii, LII. Lied by the lookout
eommittee) Edited by Rev. Sherman II.
Doyle, D. d.
The question of when to say mo"
and when to say yes seems very sim
pie, and yet the destiny of every man
both for time and for eternity is deter
mined by his ability to say each at
the right time and to stand by what he
says. When Jesus stood before Mat
thew. the publican, at the seat of Gus
tom and said Follow me-" everything
depended upon the answer to be given.
By action Matthew said Yes" and
from that moment the eternal saliva
ton of his soul was assured. When
the rich young ruler came to Christ
and the Master said unto him. Come,
follow Me-" the same issue was involv-
ed. In this instance the one addressed,
welded to his wealth, by action said
NO." and this determined contrary
destiny for himself. Thus in each case
the issue of eternity was involved in
a Eyes" and No" and how vastly
different the results! The supreme
time to say yes is when Jesus calls.
The supreme time to say No is when
Satan tempts us to disregard the call
of Christ.
Times Of decision are ever upon us.
Life from almost every standpoint is
constantly requiring of us Yes" or a
mo" Virtue and vice are ever ap-
pealing to us In some form or another.
In the intellectual world it is ever a
question of right thinking and OF
wrong thinking. In the business world
there is always the issue of honesty or
dishonesty, in the social world always
the problems Of justice or of injustice
We cannot shun or ignore the Ques-
lions Of right and wrong, of good and
evil, of serving God or of serving NAM
mon, of belonging to the kingdom Of
Christ or the kingdom OF Satan. Like
the psalmist of old. each one of us also
can say: my soul is among lions. 1
lie among them that are set on fire,
even the sons Of men, whose teeth are
spears and arrows and their tongue a
sharp sword" But If, like the psalm
ist, amid all life's temptations and ar
rows we can exalt God In our hearts
and in our lives, we need have no fear
of the results God delivered him, and
He can and will also deliver US il we
put our trust In Him.
"Yes" and mo" should never be
decided by policy or custom. We
IL ~ 49, ~
is the best policy, but because hon.
esty is right. In Rome we should not
do as Rome does, but always and
everywhere do right regardless Of the
customs of those among whom we
may be thrown If only for the time.
Wherever and whenever a moral ques-
ton is involved there is but one thing
to do, and that is what Is right, and If
a question of doubt exists we should
always give the benefit of the doubt
to the side that seems to be right.
Before saying "yes" or mo when in
doubt we may well ask ourselves the
question, what would God have us
say?' The answer will usually be
easily evident, and if we obey it there
viii be little danger of our making
mistakes. Moreover, the grace of God
is always sufficient to enable us to do
the right and to shun the wrong if we
are willing to say yes" to the right
and mo" to the wrong.

boiler and always have both parts boiling
| and the upper part sailed before the maca-
| roui is put in. We like it served with cream
| sauce, and are very fond of it with cheese.
| The original Italian way of cooking it is
whole. Take a broad. low pan and nearly fill
| with boiling water. Put in the salt. Then
| the whole long sticks Of macaroni are put in
and curied around in the pan. The water
must not stop boiling when the macaroni is
put in. When it is cooked until it is tender it
is taken out and curled around in a deep
round dish, and little hot milk and melted
butter is poured over it, 1t is served to the
guests curled around dishes. Perhaps some
of the members might like to try it this way.
