Chautauqua SeCretary's
Report

The Chautauqua Circle held its regular
meeting in the school room Sunday Dec.
10th. The roll call disclosed three men,
bers absent. President, Mr.. J. S. followed
by announcing the Quarterly meeting for
January 7th.
The first paper was read by Mr.. H. NJ
subject:- 1.-THE High Price of Paper
Mr.. Ms paper was full of good ideas and
criterion in valuable information. The
author in the preparation of his subject
delved deeply into the industry of all that
goes into the making of paper and the
causes and conditions which has brought
paper up to the present uncalled-for high
prices, also the effect this high price has
had on all nations, and the remedies that
are needed as viewed from the authors
standpoint.
The second paper was read by Mr.. ]. B.
subject: t:-" Patriotism Mr.. B. has
proved that he is real enthusiastic patriot,
and believes in paying true heroes and
tribute to the Stars and Stripes-and to quote
dictionary passage lone who loves his ma
tive land Mr.. B. zealously supports
his native country and interests. Mr.. BIS
delivery was excellent and sprinkled with
inspiring phrases pertaining to the greatest
happiness for the greatest number;- love
and true patriotism for his country.
The final paper was read by Mr.. S. E. c.
SUBJECT System for Farmers in
which MI. c. presented a system of Cook
keeping that he has devised for farmers,
yet SO slmplifed, child may act as ac-
countant. Mr.. c. clearly brought out the
fact that it was just as necessary for the
farmer to know where he is at in his deal
ings, as it is for the merchant and banker,
and that such a system would prevent
trouble and misunderstanding, especially
on the part of renters and owners of farm
lands.
Mr.. c. has been working for some time
in perfecting this system and is striving his
utmost, with the kind assistance of valu-
able and helpful authority, to make it
reach high standard of proficiency. The
Circle wishes him every success in his great
achievement and does hope that it will be
numbered among the real Goth century
scientific and progressive ideas; and sys-
tenn that will take root and show farmers of
the U. S. the light of way to an easy and
technical system of keeping tab on their
business. The author also submitted three
sales plans and brought out numerous other
points of interest TO DrOve that the SvStem
was real necessity. Not having had the
necessary time to finish his paper it was
postponed until the next regular meeting.

In the minor leagues he outslugged the
others
His fielding stunts were talked of near and

He ran the bases like Tristan Speaker,
He was acclaimed scintillating star.
In the major leagues he was a dismal fail

He couldn't pull his fancy fielding tricks,
He couldn't hit, he couldn't run, he warm

One day he landed back into the sticks.
Again his playing was revelation,
He pounded far aheld the willy curve,
He had the goods to make of him a major,
Everything except major leaguer's nerve.

LeaUes From Our Poets
Joys

You needn't be rich to be happy,
You needn't be famous to smile;
There are joys for the poorest of toilers,
If only he'll think them worth while,
There are blue skies and sunshine a-plenty
And blossoms for all to behold;
And always the bright days outnumbet
The dark and the cherries and cold.
Sweet sleeps not gift of the wealthy;
And loves not alone for the great;
For men to grow old and successful,
1t isn't Joys custom to wait.
The poorest of toilers have blessings
His richer companion may crave;
And many man who has riches
Goes sorrowing on to the grave.
You ii never be happy tomorrow
If you are not happy to-day;
If you're missing the joys that are present
And signing for joys far away.
The rose will not bloom any fairer,
In the glorious years that may he;
Great riches won't sweeten its fragrance,
Nor help you its beauties to see.
To-day is the time to make merry,
Tis folly for fortune to wait;
You'l II not find the skies any bluer
If ever you come to be great.
You'll not find your joys any brighter,
No matter what fortune YOU win:
Make the most of life's sunshine this min
ute,
To-morrow's too late to begin.

We are making Progress only as we journey
on the way

Struggling meath the weight of sorrow, and
with bleeding hearts all torn,

"Well done, good and faithful servant. -
How far have you come today?
Yes, the road is marked by milestones carved
of words and deeds of love.
From the path down in the valley, reaching
to the heights above,
To the heights, far from the shadows, where
the sunbeams ever play.
They are made of deeds of kindness
How far have you come today?
Have you soothed weary heartache; Have
you given the hungry bread?
Have you cheered the weak and trembling,
banishing their fear and dread?
Have you given a cup of water to the
thirsty? Did you pray
That your love might reach the lonely?-
How far have you come today?
There are darkened minds to Tighten, there
are SIM sick souls to save;
There are hungry hearts that perish while
our sympathy they crave.
There are men and women, heroes, battling
bravely on the way;
Have you helped them to move forward?
How far have you come today
Have you been kind to little children? Have
you kissed away their tears?
Have you soothed their little heartaches?
Have you quieted their fears?
1t is deeds of love and kindness that lift us
higher on the way
Have you done your duty, brotber?-
How far have you come today?

We should always speak the truth in
love. 1t never appears so beautiful as when
thus uttered. What is lost in emphasis is
more than regained by the attractiveness,
the sweetness, the silent power of love.
Even a censure spoken in love loses its
sting; when administered in hatred it only
serves to enhance the evil it would heal.
Therefore speak the truth in love.

Poem by John Wells

The older that boy gifts
The better seems t me
He recolects the folks an jokes
An things that used to be;
Like other night whilst sittin' there
An rompin' through the years.
An driftin' on the Back urds way,
l swan, ! heard my mother say:
"Go wash your neck and ears
1t took me back fer forty years,
An PSI a boy again.
With same dislike fer water that
Was natural to me then;
l seemed t feel my spirit rise,
And feel my boyish tears
A-rolling down in same OIL way
Like when my mother used to say:
"Go wash your neck and ears
+ Clean neck and ears you recolect,
Was purt' nigh disgrace
There want no sense in washin' cep,
Perhaps body's face;
We used t think that Mas was made
To add to boyish keers,
An stand around in bossin' way,
When boys was tiredest, an say:
'Go wash your neck and ears
An Wit I'll warrant that tonight
You'd like to 60 to bed
In same OIL room, with locust bloom
A-droppin' overhead
On shingle roof, an hold your breath
With all your boyish fears,
An hear your mother softly creep
Upstairs and ask y "Gone to sleep
Did you wash your neck and ears?''

Don't be cordial like an iceberg. Smile.
Rocks thrown at us frequently do more
good than bouquets.
IF your town stops growing it S because
its people stop growing.
Keep your face in the sunshine and the
shadows will fall behind you.
Some people knock SO hard they do not
hear the invitation to "Come in.''
Take your hard knocks and expect them
also, and be proud of your bruises.

Mathematics offers difficulties, but
there are problems outside the realm of

1t matters nothing what the particular
duties are to which the Individual is called

the sphere which is filled or the effect which

virtue in the soul, in the energy with which
Gods will is chosen, with which trial is
