 Whole Year
(By Mrs. w. w. McNefO


 Another would possibly, word this subject, What One Gains by Attend ing the Woman's Club for a Whole Year." but when an interested club member has been absent whole year through illness she is privileged to turn the subject around, write from another view point and arrive at the same conclusion.
 One who has missed the Tuesday afternoon programs on Art and Lit erature, Civics, Household Economies, Music, all the lectures, entertain ments. Good Fellowship Day. the Ba- zaar etc, given last year by the Wo- mans club has just cause to grieve bit.

It was then two o'clock, they were going to club-but, happy thought I knew some of them would come at four o'clock and tell me all about it.

 Now when one has not seen the wonderful works wrought by man the next best thing is to listen to a good clear description of them by one who has seen them.
 We had just gotten the Popular Mechanics" which contained well written article on the Panama canal and the one paper supplied what the other had omitted. It furnished food flor thought for several days and re-

AS a remedy President Aasgaard re-
commended that We should make
serious effort TO keep together the peo'
pie of the same nationality who have
the same traditions and history and
common interests. Where such settle

them TO maintain their churches and
schools properly. Arrangements should
be made TO encourage people OF the
same nationality TO buy the farms OF
such as wish to move, so that the
community spirit can be kept up and
the best traditions and culture of
European nations finally handed down
TO our common American civilization,
Another thing that should be taken
hold of seriously by the fathers and
mothers is the making OF life more at
tractive for our country young people.
The parents should try to encourage
them in those things which will in
crease in them the desire TO stay on
the homesteads. 1t would often be
