TRIP TO WASHINGTON
Wesley Stowell Tells of His Acre of
Corn and The Trip To Washington
That Grew Out of It-Read Before
The Farmers Institute at Wauseon
January 29th, 1915.

About year ago, after hearing
Mr.. Brigham's talk at the farmers in
stitute, about this grand trip to Wash
ington, l thought l would enter the
contest.
The field from which l chose my
acre had been manured in the winter,
at the rate of nine loads of stable
manure per acre. This was all the
April while l was still in school my
younger brother plowed it, after which
flood delayed the planting until
about May 10Th.
l selected Reeds yellow dent.
drilled it, with rows 31a feet apart,
never replanted any, got a good stand
the first planting. l rolled it after it
was up and cultivated it six times.
At husking time the County Commits
sioners appointed Mr.. Doriot and Mr..
Wyse as judges. After learning that
there was no county provision made
to send boy, Mr.. Doriot's French
was aroused and he stood back of the
movement that brought about my free
trip. 1t was a jolly party that left
Toledo, with brass band of nineteen
girls from Rising Sun, with Mr.. Coll
of Swanton as our. Colonel and Mr..
McCord of Bryan as the Captain of
our car.
There was Colonel for each train,
and Captain for each car. We went
on new Pullman cars and the seats
were so arranged that they could be
made into berths. When we wanted
to go to bed, we pressed button on
the window casing and porter came
and changed our seats into berths, one
above another, and two of US slept
in one berth.
We kept our same berths through
out the trip.
1t was special train and no one got
on it except those going on the
trip. Travelling all the afternoon, we
got to Pittsburg at dark. Here we
met the rest of the party and number
ed our 1000. While going through the
city, we stopped at the Stockmen and
Farmers building and they were kind
enough to give us twenty barrels Of
apples to eat. Some of us went out
on the rear platform of the car while

SHAME.

When Mary starts to board car,
Just see how brazen bad men are;
Why don't they turn their heads, | beg
Why should they look at Mary's hat? ?
- Cincinnati Enquirer.
Those high-step cars are a disgrace;
They are entirely out of place,
The distance truly should be half;
Then Mary wouldn't show her animosi-
ty. Detroit News.
When Mary starts to dance bit
Men folks nearly have a fit;
If more clothes her form did drape,
Mary wouldn't show her disposition.

Mary steps across the gutter
Oh, the mean things men do utter,
Mary's anger gins to rankle-
Why should they talk about her
elbow?

The men all try with her to f1irt
And wonder # that naughty breeze
Doesn't chill her to the shoulder.

OHIO METHODIST MEN.

What is expected to be one of the
largest gatherings of men ever held
by the Methodist church of this coun-
try will be the Ohio Convention of
Methodist Men, March II, 18, and 10
in Columbus.
It is expected that 1000 men will be
in ( attendance representing every
church in Ohio Methodism. The pro-
gram will be exceptionally strong. A
survey of the Rural, Missionary, Edu-
cational, Social Immigrant, Industrial,
Temperance conditions will be made
and findings of the survey will be pre-
sented by lantern slides before the
addresses on the differene subjects.
Some of the leading speakers of
the country will be present. The Com
mittee in charge have been very for
tunate in securing DIR. John R. Mott,
the greatest missionary leader of the
world. He will be present througout
the entire Convention. DIR. Mott is
the most prominent figure in the reli-
gious life of the world. He was offer
ed the position of Ambassador to
China by President Wilson last year
but declined as he considered his work
much larger one. DIR. Mott is a
Methodist, but his work as Chairman
of the Worlds Student Federation,
Chairman of the Continuation Com
mittee of the great Edinboro Conven-
ton, and the recognized leader of the
Student Volunteer Movement has
taken him out into the world at large,
so that all denominations claim him.
No man living is so closely in touch
with work of Christianity throughout
the world as is DR.. Mott. He is the
author of many books, his last, "The
Present World Situation" is just off
the press and will be read with deep
interest by thousands. The committee
is to be congratulated in securing DR..
Mott for the Convention and every
Church in Ohio Methodism should be
represented by the Pastor and num-
ber of laymen.

He inherited from his ancestors the
power of doing and enduring and he
appropriated this inheritance by a
long discipline of bodily toll. In later
days he brought to the solution of the
question of labor, not merely a mind
but a body thoroughly in sympathy
with labor; in himself he bore wit
ness to the dignity of work. "He
could not have brought the mind for
his task so perfectly, unless he had
first brought the body whose rugged
and stubborn health was always con-
tradictings to him the false theories of
labor, and always asserting the true.
In Lincoln the mental and moral pow
ers were, as they ever are in truly
simple characters, remarkably blend
ed; in him was vindicated the great
ness of real goodness and the good
ness of real greatness.
Here is a forceful demonstration
that real goodness and high intel
ligence may be combined in one char
acter and that the possession of one
does not necessarily Indicate the alb
sence of the other, and still further
that the character which possesses
only intelligence is sadly lacking in
perfectness. Another quality evident
in the character of Lincoln is it's
readiness, that is it's ability to take
up new duties and do them in a new
way this was because the character
of the man was so simple that it could
always fit itself to each new need. It
was a character broad and independ-
ent and radical and it was the product
of the new America. If ever there
was man who was part of the
time and country in which he lived
this was he. But, let it never be for
gotten, that Lincoln gathered in his
character the best from his anteced-
ents, his environment and his oppor-
tunities. There were thousands of
others with similar antecedents,
similar environment, similar oppor-
tunities, some of them wrought into
their characters the worst, some of
them only the mediocre, some, those
things that make for failure, some
those things that make for true sue
cess. We honor the memory OF
Abraham Lincoln because he wrought
into his life the best; because he dem
onstrated that true greatness and
goodness, true nobility and fitness
for high position and great response
bility may be wrought out from the
humblest conditions.
What Abraham Lincoln has done
other Americans may do.
