A Southern Woman's Tribute to
Heroes Both Blue and Gray.

1t was just bunch of white roses,
but the ribbons that tried it together
told it's history--one was blue and the
other was gray. 1t was to be placed
on the grave Of boy who had fought
for what he believed was right and the
gentlewoman who was to put it there
believed that all animosity had passed
by, and the blue and the gray might
be firm friends. So the bunch she car
ried for her own boys grave was tied
up in this way and in her hand was
another one tied the same; it was to
be laid upon the grave of the stranger.
That stranger whose name was even
unknown to her, had died fighting like
brave man, and therefore deserved
to be remembered and to have tribute
shown to his courage. think it a
beautiful idea-this one of decorating
the graves of all the soldiers, but l
like it better when the custom is car
ried even further, and when not a
grave in the cemetery is overlooked.
1t seems to me goodly and proper
thing for the living to remember the
dead, at least once year, and it
seems kind and loving thing to mark
this remembrance with sweet flowers.
AS people, we are not very emotion
al, and if there is any way in which
we can bring our kindness to the sur
face, it should be done, and so the en-
enlargement of the day sacred to the
memory of those who have gone before
is worthy of much consideration. Dec
Grafton Day must essentially be one
entirely free from any feeling butthat
of generosity and loving kindness. 1t
doesn't make any difference which
side man fought on-he died for
what he believed was right, and for
that reason he deserved to be remem-
bered by those who are living. Dec
grafton Day ought to mean the union
of the blue and the gray; there ought
to be flag for that purpose for the
colors blend so beautifully that the
result is exactly the tint of heaven
itself.

MIND STUFFED.

In many of our schools nowadays
there is too much examining. Minds
crammed with matter and not having
he remotest idea as to it's value or
ase. Page after page is gone over
and learned "by heart" Books gone
through and laid aside. Scholars
tired ind worn out and yet how little
do they really know. The most sim
pie, practical things of life they can
not solve; are mere blanks and total
failures. Minds stuffed and cram
med and yet can apply it to anything.
More notwithstanding to knows
what is wanted, and less examining,
and there will be less IVORY, less ia
tigue, less friction and more light
hearts, brilliant minds and successes
in life.

THE CHURCH As
ASOC|AL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for ReIgion-New
Field for the Rural Church.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty of the rural church
Is as much part Of its obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
1t is expressing true religious in
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was~over-
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to a broader interpreta-
ton of the functions of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
OF those who have sought to make the
world a fit habitation for the children
Of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty of the
rural church. The true christian re-
ligion is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship While following after
righteousness, the church must chal-
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex-
pressed While Icherishing ideals Of
service, the rural church which IT
tains the fullest measure of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as 1t can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with its members as through the
avenue of social functions
The country town and the rural
community need social center The
church need offer no apology for it's
ambition to fill this need in the COM
munity, If an understanding of it's
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of a
rural community is exceedingly com
pick; it contains many social groups,
each of which has it's own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter-
est of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.

Social Needs Imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as a rule, a
vague conception of the meaning of
pleasure and recreation. 1t is to fill
this void in the lives of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
the necessity of providing entertain
membership among the young, The
children and young people of the
church should meet when religion is
not even mentioned. It has been
found safest for them to meet fire.
quently under the direction and care
of the church. To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is social nature to both old and
young. but the social requirements of
the young are imperative. The church
must provide directly or indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk-
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools of the old days In one
way or another the social instincts
of our young people must have oppor-
tunity for expression, which may
take the form of clubs, parties, pic
mics or other forms of amusement
One thing is certain, and that is that
the church cannot take away the
dance, the card party and the theatre
unless it can offer in it's place a sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.

Universal Instinct for Play.


In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth
DDS by which human society has de-
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pieasurable; in play the in
stinctive aversion of one person for
another is overcome and the social
mood is fostered Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun-
tiles and in the play-day of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved As individuals
come together in social gatherings,
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con-
stitute cultured and refined society
1t is plain therefore, that the
church which aims at perfected So
ciety must use in a refined and ex-
allied way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself
Of the universal instinct for play.
If the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among it's membership, it will
fill large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type Of manhood
and Nomarfnod

ANOTHER OLD CUSTOM TIME
HAS REMOVED.

With the passing of time has come
the passing of many old customs fam
lily traditions are long forgotten.
This is particularly true of one of
the oldest of customs among house
wives, that of daughters following
their mothers in the use of foods and
housekeeping methods.
In the olden days if mother did a
certain thing this way or that way,
daughter did likewise, regardless of
newer and improved methods.
If mother used a particular brand
of food, daughter was blinded to
better kinds merely because mothers
had used the same brand for years.
But now both mothers and daugh-
tiers have changed their methods and
investigate and compare, not by price
alone, but by actual results obtained.
The old order is changing. The
candle has given way to the electric
light; the old fashioned fireplace to
scientific heating methods. Millions
of housewives have changed their
brands of coffee, tea, extracts, baking
powder and other foods. Calumet
Baking Powder is one of the most
popular brands on the market today
because of the uniformity good baking
results obtained by those whD use it

her work was of high standard

PLEAD GUILTY TO STEALING
WHEAT.

When Judge Business court was

on the docket-that of the State VS..
Fred Owen, who was charged by Pet
er Aschenbrenner, the complaining
witness, with having swiped, carried
off and disposedo f seven sacks of
wheat the latter part Of September,
which was the property of said Asch-
enbrenner.
The defendant was brought to the
court by Deputy Sheriff Eler, and
when arraigned, plead guilty to the
charge. Owen has wife and family
and does not appear to be bad actor
and until recently had not been under
suspicion.
The cath was letout of the sack by
Owen while under the influence OF
liquor at White Bird, and he told OF
the theft to a number of supposed fast
friends-but it happened that there
was Judas in the party, who betray
ed him, and communicated with the
sherif's Office.
After hearing the plea Judge Bush
