Seventy new members were taken

sion of the organization has been call
led for February / to complete arrange
ments for this affair. The premium list
ds being arranged.
The "strawberry" meeting will be
held in June. 1t is likely that it will
he held in the Centerville Park.
In delivering his annual address
president Stevens said in part:
You know Shakespeare compares
This world with a stage, upon which
each of us plays part. Today we will
lcall the earth vast play ground, and
life a great game Of puss in the corner
Here lies the political corner, there the
Journalistic, over yonder the educa-
hional one and so on. You occupy an
horticultural corner, snug and indepen-
dent, with just enough of this worlds
goods to bring contentment without
ANY of the cares of wealth. Yours is
an ideal position indeed.
But let us study this game from it's
beginning. None Of us would wander
Through life without some object, with
eout deavoring to achieve something
though it be nothing more than per-
'sonal happiness, and as labor is the
price set upon every thing worth hav-
hing we must labor to accomplish any
thing. No man is born into the world
whose work is not born with him.
There is always work and tools to
work withal, for those who will.
with most persons there is an in
stinctive tendency for certain pur-
suits, and that tendency should make
the decision of lifetime.
However not every one of us has
the opportunity to follow the tendency
of his own heart, a very strong nature
will sooner or later overcome any OBJ
stacle and find it's own sphere. But
many are they who depressed by cir
cumstances relinquish all hope of be
coming eminent in one profession, t.
become bread winners in another.
''If you are in any degree successful
in one occupation, hold it until you arr
sure of the next.
Let not ambition lead you from ;
humble position to one which you
have neither the ability to reach b,
fair means nor the talent to hold afte
you obtain it. Better be a good ho'
carrier than a bad poet.
