Organization seems to be the
watchword in this lively town, as we
have farmers society of equity, a
socialistic club, a singing school, and
now we hear of the organization of a
dramatic society, and there certainly
would be excellent material to pick
from in this community.
We have had some heavy rains
lately. The roads suffered from
these downpours and are in some
places in bad condition, and almost
impossible.
The farmers society of equt
makes things lively for our growers,
as there are continuous lectures
scheduled for all the meetings on
crop growing and other interesting
topics. At the opening meeting on
April 9th, the president gave an in
teresting talk. On May IL, Mr.. AL
britton of Fort Mccoy gave a very
interesting lecture on sweet potato
growing, and on May % his partner,
Mr.. Reese, lectured on rice growing
For June Sth Mr.. Wilbur of Eureka
was to give lecture on onion grow
ing, but on account of inclement
weather this was postponed to June
%. Oother lectures on important
subjects will be given in the near fu-
ture. All farmers are invited to join
this society, which is of national
scope, as it intends to make its work
ings felt in all matters of public char
acter. The officers of this society
are: J. NJ. Landolt, president; w. A.
Wilbur, vice president; NJ. A. Peters,
secretary, and J. A. Rodges, record
ing secretary Meetings will be held
in the FIT. Mccoy school house every
second and fourth Saturday in the
month.

Miss Pris created a diversion by light

in all it's glory before he went back.
The early winter twilight began to

Then thoughtfully she hung Toms

When the big house was reached
there was a delightful holiday smell
IN the air Of evergreens, oranges and
freshly burning driftwood. Lily was
taken upstairs to come down later,
her blonde beauty radiant in the white
lawn and blue ribbons in which Miss
Matte had dressed her. With a
child's adaptability she seemed to fit
in perfectly with her surroundings in
contrast to Thomas in his coarse
blue Bingham and heavy shoes. She
would bring the spirit of youth to a
house, long accustomed to the deco
rous ways of sober middle age. A

The two children sat on the edge
Of their chairs in the bleak asylum
parlor, where three holly Wreaths in
the curtainless windows proclaimed
that it was Christmas. Both were
dressed in the institutional blue and

shiningness about their faces which
told Of the recent and vigorous ap-
~plication of soap and water. Lily was
cream and roses with appealing long
dashed eyes that would have secured
her a home many times over If she

one wants to adopt a boy. Even the
blonde ones were unclaimed, so what
chances had Thomas, brown as to
hair and eyes and skin, although my

worked Matron had reluctantly given
up the idea Of placing the two chill
dren together. A desirable home had
been found for the girl with two prim
maiden ladies and little brother had
to remain behind. SO the tiny folks
were to spend their last Christmas
together with Lily's new guardians.
