WRITES THE F. P

Editor OF Free Press: While en-
route to the pines OF Northern Wis
consin 10 fish and recreate, it was my
pleasure 10 meet a farmer from the
state 0r~Iowa. who gave me an idea
that may prove profitable TO the
farmers around Mankato in over
coming the difficulty OF harvesting
their grain. so am passing it on TO
you.
The idea is beer keg. which will
appeal especially 10 the "drys." Two
small holes are made in each end OF
the empty keg a gas pipe passes
through the holes as an axis upon
which the keg revolves 1t is fasten
ed with more gas pipes to the frame
OF the binder Just back of the large
| bull wheel, thus supporting the
binder and keeping II from sinking
into the muddy and wet places in the
field. am told that the idea is prov
ing so successful in that section Of
! Iowa that the brewers are becoming
misunderstanding there will be fam
inc IN beer kegs.
Now Mr. Editor this is not fish
story. The fish stories will come
later when return home. about

TWO very interesting contributions
as to the relation OF the church to the
rural lie movement were made. These
were by Rev. E. c. Hickman. of Byron.
and Rev. b. n. Edwards. OF Castle
Rock. Both men showed how it was
possible for a church to share in ev-
cry activity of community. Mr.. Ed
wards outlined a plan of scientific
management" for rural church. a
system by which the leaders in the
| church may know what material they
have to work with. what the pressing
problems are. and how a church might
go about the business of solving them.
This program calls for:
A careful survey of the field, with
the recording of the facts gathered in
a card index. SO that the pastor may
| know all of the necessary facts about
all the people of his parish.

intends TO take an appeal to the SUI
perior Court. During the trial the
courtroom was crowded with patri-
otto men and women carrying and
wearing American Flags pinned to
their clothing. Large delegations of
women from the patriotic orders were
in attendance and showed great in
terest in the outcome. II was shown
that Mrs. Raymond had referred to
the flag as a dirty, rotten rag"
and that she had also made defama
tory remarks about the country. all of
which Mrs. Raymond denied. She
was forciBly elected from the grounds

so treated. she replied that she could
not understand why she was SO
treated.
