Prof. Herbert L. Flower said In an
address on eugenics in Boston:
Youths point of view is better

of eugenics.
Here, for example, is dialogue to
prove my claim:
"A beautiful girl said on a white

SURPRISED REV. o. INGVOLD-
STAD.
Hens Help Ladies' Aid With Easter
Offering.

We take the following article from
the Marshalltown Times Republican,
which will interest many of our
readers, as Rev. Ingvoldstad is for
mer DEBORAH resident:
'The ladies oe the Strand Luther
en- church at Dunbar have enlisted
the aid of their chickens in collecting
money for missions. At the meeting
of the missionary society, held We'd
nesday afternoon, report was Civ
en- showing that the ladies contribut-
ed $12.S3 for their Easter Offering
towards missions. Rev. o. Ingvold-
stad, of this city, who is also pastor
of the Strand church, inquired how
the money was raised. by means of
the chickens" the ladies replied.
VISIONS of the good ladies killing
their choice hens and dutifully sacri-
ficing them for missions In heather
lands came before Rev. Mr.. Ingvold-
stad. These were speedily dispelled,
however, when the ladies informed
him that they had merely sold sixty
eight and one-half dozen eggs and CIV
en- the proceeds to the church. More
than that, those sixty-eight and one
half dozen eggs were all laid in enc
day, and Easter day at that.
The ladies of the society had
agreed to contribute to missions the
proceeds from all eggs laid on Eas-
ter day. Altho they declare the hens
had no special knowledge of this de-
cision, yet the fact remains that
some several hundred chickens in the
twelve families came thru nobly on
Easter Sunday with a total of S22
eggs, which netted the sum of
S12.S3. One set of hens, however,
evidently misunderstood the instruc-
lions, and laid great many mere on
Easter Monday than on Easter day.
This oversight was overlooked, as
the same hens had done fairly well
the day before. Provided too many
calls are not made on the Dunbar
hens for such extraordinary results
the aid society feels that it has a
source of revenue which may be safe
ly counted upon to produce results
most any time.

prising and up-to-date farmers of
Canoe township is using an l. H. C.
Mogul engine, pulling three plows.
On his farm this spring and is blowing
up hundred acres or more The work
is being done by Will Burns, brother
of J. p. Burns, of DEBORAH, who is
the agent for these engines here.
The engine is doing great worn and
turning up on the average of ten
acres a day. A great many other
farmers have become interested IN
the work the engine is doing, and
have requested Mr.. Burns to do
blowing for them. 1t not Only saves
the horses, but lots of hard work for
the men also. Mr.. Burns recently
sold one of the engines to Dan
Shoemaker, who lives near Frank

A SUFFRAGE VICTORY.

"Oh, don't you think" the maiden
cried,
THAT woman ought to vote?
Just let me pin this silken badge or
color, on your coat"
NAY, politics are not her sphere"
The youth replied, because
It's woman's place to make the home
And mans to make the laws"
He noticed that her cheeks were pink
Her eyes were soft and blue,
Her tresses, like the suffrage badge,
Were golden-yellow too.
And SO he could not very long
Her arguments resist;
He yielded to her spell and soon
Became suffragist.
He voted for the suffrage cause
And wore the badge with pride,
And won the pretty suffragette
Ere long to be his bride.
Among the gold chrysanthemums,
Before the altar dim,
She Stood vision all in white,
And voted Eyes for him.
They're dwelling in a cosy fiat
Without care in life;
For woman's franchise still they
work,
The husband and the wife;
And when on last election day
The happy pair / met,
10, side by side they proudly wheeled
A little suffragette.
