farm management learned from a
woman in Pennsylvania, who haa
broken down from overwork, that she
had been carrying coal from the barn
for years. When the husband was
asked if there was any reason why
a coal bunker could not have been
provided near the coOkstove and fill
ed directly from the wagon, he
answered that there was none. but
that no one had ever thought Of It.
This one detail has been found neg

One conspicuous fact presented
itself at the Commercial Club
meeting last Monday night and
that was the abserc, of tho:e
who should be the most vitally
interested in what the club is at.
tempting to do. We refer to the
property owners of this locality,
town residents and farmers alike.
The Commercial club seems to
have been handed over to the
business men Of the town with
the idea that they shoulder all
responsibility and expense if
there be any, in furthering the
interests of the community, while
the property owner, who will
reap the greatest benefit from
whatever is accomplished in the
way of locating industries fall
heir to the advantages. With all
due regard to those who had busi-
ness engagements keeping them
away. we regret that this condi-
tion seems to exist.
