THE COUNTRY CLUB HOUSE

All our farmers appreciate the
excellent opportunities their child
rem have in the provision for at
tendance in the graded schools in
the city. From four or five miles
out in every direction come great
loads of merry children to join
their schoolmates of the city in their
work in the grades.
How different from the days of
our boyhood when we tramped
through mud and snow mile or
two, some of US. eacn school day to
the old log school house! Our
Sunday school met there; there
were held our preaching services.
We learned to sing in the country.
We learned to think on our feet and
developed whatever gift of oratory
was latent in us in the country ly-
ceum or debating society. There
we went to spelling school and were
spelled down by slip of a girl from
a neighboring district; and there
our patriotic and political rallies
were held. How we Youngsters
waded into the district school IL

history, poetry, travels, popular
science etc., and but single novel.
The old school house was the meet

miss most. A few of the valuable
things which the country school
house brought us we can go to the
city and get; for the rest OF
them but few of us have a substi-
tute.
The best substitute provided SO
far in our opinion, is the country
club house. This is proven by the ex-
perience of the Highlands Improve

years ago and Immediately proceeded
to build a commodious little build

LITERARY CLUB NOTES

The Ladies' Literary Club met
Friday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Grant Stewart with the presi-
dent, Mrs. J. l.. Johnson, in the
chair. Mrs. Hoyt, of the Arts and
Crafts Committee, reported that the
Art Exhibit would be held Nov. g.
27-2S-2 9th. These pictures are
loaned to the Art Committee of the
State Federation of the Women's
Clubs by the St. Louis Artists Guild
and the Chicago Society of Arts as
a travelling a exhibit. It is
expected this will bea larger and
finer exhibit than the one held by
the Club two years ago.
For the comfort of timid women
the CLUB will see that there are
ladies at each voting place during
the day of election.
It was decided to assist the Library
this yeary to the amount of five
dollars each month. The following
was the program for the day:

HINTS

last winter we heard an excellent
discussion of the question of our
duty as to the care of the road and
roadside; and in the score cards
usedby the judges in determining
who had the best kept farm or ranch
on the Highlands, quite a large per-
centage was given to this point.
Some one has said in effect that
one mark of the best citizen is that
he sweep before their own door
step. Now, when other work is a
little slack, is the time to do some
Of the things we have learned. Loose
stones and boulders can be cleared
