asm. If everybody is interested
in doing better farming, you will
get greater advantages in talking
with one another and exchanging
experiences and ideas. In short. if
everybody is trying to do his best.
you simply get more fire. enthusi-
asm, "git-up-and git just as two
horses have wild, keen Joy in rae
ing with each other that they could
never feel in running alone.
Now, the best way to get every
last farmer in your neighborhood
working together along all these
lines is to get everyone of them
reading the best farm paper you
know. We don't say The Progress
sive Farmer. If you know a paper
that will wake them up better, get
them to reading that paper.
But get them to reading the
best there is, and get them at it this
fall. What's the use of our getting
old and dying here in the South be-
fore getting it walked up as it ought
to be. before getting it lined UP for
progress as it ought to be: before
making it the great. rich, progress
sive farming land it ought to be in
our own day and time?
And the very first step is to get
everybody to reading the best sort
of farm papers. books, and bulle.
tins and the time to do it is
now.

Convention

The Pythian Sisters served a
six o'clock dinner last evening
at the K. P. hall, about seventy
five guests being served. The
Committee consisting of Mes
danes Huntsinger, Leet and
Brown are to be commended on
the splendid dinner which was
served. At 1880 the conven-

the benefit of the visitors. The
degree team of this city put on
initiation services and the
Grand Chief of Iowa, Nellie
Corlis of Independence, con-
graduated the team on the
faultless manner in which the
work was done. The session
was closed by a dance. About

from various parts of the dis
trict and four auto loads drove

High School Notes

The first high school play of
the year will be given Friday
night at the Harrison Theatre,
when a cast of IL high school
students will give Josephs
Hawtrey's celebrated play "The
Private Secretary" This is a
modern English play of three
acts in which the humorous sit
uations are brought out by the
practical jokes of two fun low
ing youths, a taylor who wants
to enter the society of the
nobility, and a rich but eccen-
tial old man. The caste select
ed is capable of doing good
1t is working hard under able
direction so should furnish a
splendid entertainment. The
proceeds will be devoted to
athletics.
Base ball practise is now at
the fair ground under the d.
rection Of Mr.. Thurston.
The students did such good
work Monday after vacation
that the teachers could hardly
realize that there had been no
school for over a week.
We have been wondering
whether or not the factuly
gained any information at the
teachers meeting that will aid
them in dealing with the crop
of truants produced by the re-
turn of spring.
Myrtle White has returned
to her work this term.
Edna Arpp is still absent.
Herman Hoyer, was elected
business manager for the pur
pose of carrying on negotiations
in regard to the senior class
play.
The following committee was
appointed to select appropriate
plays: Harry Roberts, chair
man; Annabel Bisbee and

not thinging that he was going
