prominent society woman and who
was much interested in social

Miss Heathcott was installed as

THE UNITED CHARITIES

It may be news to some people in Prescott that'such an organization ex- ists in our midst, but such is a fact and we hope to interview every resi- dent real soon and solicit his and her membership. Please do not wait for that but come right in. It is an op- portunity for real service in an organ ized capacity where no act of charity by one is overlapped by that of an other. Each case is thoroughly in- vestigated and help extended as is thought best by committee of as good men and women in the organi- zation could find.
 To belong to the United Charities relieves one of contributing to Tom, Dick and Harry as they appear at ones door from time to time.
 We pay our money into the United Charities and then when these solici- tors for aims present themselves to us, they can be referred to this committee who probes into their case, and help is given from the general fund. Every body should belong. The way of payment is made easy,-by month ly subscriptions.
 There is, indeed, a necessity, in wide-awake Prescott, for such an or ganiZation. It has existed since May, and it would be interesting to know how many cases of real need have been relieved. The organization has held several meeting of interest and helpfulness.
 Remember it is under any special church, but is a Union of All Citizens to help in most worthy cause.
 Separate, We can do little, but corre- lated into a union of effort, much can be accomplished. We therefore, ap- peal to every body to come to the help of this body of contributors, the com mittees of which are conducting their part without remuneration. Every cent for charity They are only too glad to help minister to our unfortu- nate.
 The organization will be glad to re- ceive clothing or anything else nee essary for house. keeping. A room at the Court House is fitted up to take care of any such donation, and can be sent to the Clerks office where Mir. Calhoun will receive it. If preferred they can be sent to either Mrs. Els worth. Mrs. John M Putnam, Mrs. R. L. Blakely or Mrs. Levi Moore. This committee will accept anything that can be used. For instance: A woman was left penniless. What little she possessed, had to be burned on account of probable infection. Some one had bed-stead and springs stored away doing no good to anybody. They were the very things needed, and therefore somebody was made happy
 So let us rummage among our store rooms, and put these laid aside things where they will serve purpose. Our premises will be more sanitary in con- sequence, and somebody's needs will be met.
 Again we beg of Every Body to help. We solicit members from the country.-A member.

Advice to City People Who Want to
 Farm

The following is an extract from letter published in the current issue Iof Farm and Preside:
 "The fatal mistake of many city people taking to farm life is a rush of enthusiasm before properly plann- ing the future life. They give up good jobs, scant of means, and perhaps they over-invest, depending upon their new efforts and resources to meet expenses that should have been previously provided for
 There arc many thousands of city wage-eaners who could vastly better their conditions by having their fam lilies on small farms of ten, fifteen, or twenty acres properly prepared for production by soil improvement before actual settlement"
