WEST 0TlSC0 FARMERS
CLUB HAD FINE MEETING

The West Otisco Farmers club held
their last meeting March 2 at the
home of Mrs. A. j. Moon, with large
attendance and fine dinner.
After the dinner a good program
was given consisting of music, sing
ing, readings, speaking and a dialogue
given by four of our lady members,
which was fine.
Just before the close of the meeting
Walter Reeves in a few well-chosen
words presented in behalf of the club
and friends present, a sum of money
to Mrs. Moon, who is soon to move
from our neighborhood, though we
hope not so far but we may have the
pleasure of meeting her and her fam
lily often.
The topic for our next meeting will
be, what kind of corn will be best
to grow for profit, and how can we
handle it to get the best results" led
by Mark Brown and Lester " Car
penter.
Our next meeting will be held with
Mr.. and Mrs. Will King the first
Thursday in April.
The question was discussed with
great interest, most of the members
being of the opinion that agriculture
should be taught in our rural schools,
just enough on the opposite side to
make it interesting.

HOW TO CUT ROSES.

There is a right and a wrong way
to cut roses. The choice of the lat
ter may seriously injure the blossom
producing properties of the plants, it
is pointed out by specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. This applies particularly, of
course, to rose plants chosen and
grown, especially for cut flower pro-
duction. Such roses will be largely of
the perpetual blossoming sort.
When a rose is cut from such
plants-tea roses or ether perpetual
bloomers-only two or three eyes of
the current seasons growth of that
branch should be left on the plant.
This should give the roses very long
stems. Succeeding blossoms should
be cut close to the ground. 1t will
seem like destroying the bush to take
so much off it, but if the object is the
production of roses, the cutting away
of the surplus wood will attain the
desired end.
If the spring pruning has not been
sufficiently severe the plant is likely
to have long, naked stalks and short
stems to the flowers. With this char
acter of growth only one or two
strong leaf buds should be left on the
branch when the flower is cut, so as
to stimulate as much growth as pos
sible from the base of the plant.
The greatest temptation to leave
wood is where there are two or more
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one is open. This
temptation to follow bad practice
can be avoided by pinching off al
Fside shoots after a bud has formed OF
the end of a branch. This prevent:
the formation of two or more buds OF
one stalk. This summer pruning vii
encourage additional blooms on varie
ties which bloom more than once {
year.

the vision of time when a woman's
home will be the whole wide world

a new knighthood, a new chivalry

Nobody knows of the work it takes
To keep the home together,
Nobody knows of the steps it takes
Nobody knows but mother;
Nobody listens to childish woes,
Which kisses only smother,
Nobody's panied by the mighty blows,
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother,
Nobody knows of the tender prayer
Nobody knows but mother;
Nobody knows of the lessons taughs,
Of loving one another,
Nobody knows of the patience sought,
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the anxious fears
Lest darlings may not weather
Storms of this life in the coming years
Nobody knows but mother;
Nobody knows of the tears that start
The grief she'd gladly smother,
Nobody knows Of the breaking heart
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody clings to the hayward child
Tho scorned by every other,
Leads it so gently from pathways
wild,
Nobody can but mother;
Nobody knows of the hourly prayer
For him, our erring brother,
Pride of her heart, once so pure and
fair,
Nobody-only mother.

held a "Dixie session." at which
number of woman suffrage leaders
from the south made interesting re-
ports of progress in that section.
Mrs. Guiliford Dudley, president of
the Tennessee Equal Suffrage Asso-
citation, delivered an address on '"The
Southern Temperament as Related to
Woman Suffrage" She said, in part:
1.-THE only business a southern girl
is ever taught, or is born with a
knowledge of, is the business of
hearts-the way to win them, the way
to hold them-sometimes the way to
destroy them, but more often the way
to cherish them through life. So
what has woman suffrage to do with
US? Our laws were bad, particularly
those affecting women and children,
but then our men were so much bet
ter than our laws, so why worry? The
much-vaunted southern chivalry was
so real that it was almost impossible
to convict a woman in court, and the
southern men, so imbued with the
idea of protecting women that the
lawmakers would not permit a wom-
an to make a contract in her own
name until two years ago.
"Now, it seems to me that with US,
much of the opposition to woman suf-
frage is founded on the supposition
that men and women are ideal crea-
tures-that men are always going to
protect women, and no woman is ever
going to need protection against men.
eve are a race of dreamers in the
south, by choice and because of eli
matte conditions. Doing things makes
no appeal to US as long as we can sit
and think about them. That is why
we are still doing the rough work of
the world, instead of turning out the
finished product; sending our lumber
to the eastern market to receive the
! mark of the master-craftsman send
ing our cotton everywhere to be turn
ed into the finest fabrics, and that is
why we haven't already got woman
suffrage throughout the south today.
| GAS long as it is a question of wom-
ans right; as long as the fight has
any appearance of being against man;
as long as there seemed to be a YES
| tige of sex antagonism the southern
woman stood with her back turned
squarely toward the cause. She
couldn't even turn around to look at
it. She would have none of it at all.
But when she awake slowly to So
cial consciousness, when eyes and
brain were at last free, after terri
BILE reconstruction period to look out
upon the world as whole; when she
found particularly among the more
fortunate classes that leisure had
come to mean laziness; when she
realized that through the changed
conditions of modern life so much of
her work had been taken out of the
home, leaving her to choose between
following it into the world or remain
ing idle; when with clearer vision
she saw that man needed her help ir
governmental affairs, particularly
where they touched her own interests
she said: "Oh, that is so different
Fright about face she turned, and
she said to the southern man: Z dc
not wish to usurp your place in gov.

Does any one remember that
there were a few people afraid
that Belington could not afford
to sewer and pave her main

Taxes are no higher than they
used to be.
The municipal taxes of Bel
ington have been reduced 10

What happened to save US
from increased taxes? Look at
the new residences and the new

have been erected; they help to
pay for these improvements.
