Inc annual convention OF the

was held at Mound City, NO., Sep
TENDER ~. The weather was fine, and
Mound City Union had made plans to
entertain visitors from far and near,
and were not disappointed, although
we would have been glad to have had
more people from over the county at.
tend the convention. We were pleased
to see the increasing interest taken,
the active workers and larger attend
ance than heretofore. Some that
would have come were kept away by
unavoidable circumstances.
The election of district officers for
the ensuing year resulted as follows:
The reelection of Mrs. W. +. Stubs,
district president; Mrs. c. A. Dooley,
recording and corresponding secrc-
tary; Mrs. Guy Jones, Of Bigelow,
treasurer, and Mrs. Kellogg, Of Craig,
was elected vice-president at large.

nine times out Of ten they viii tell yOE
that the roads are good with the ex'
ception of few bad mud-holes. Now
there is no reason why these bad pla-
ces should be allowed to remain bad
all winter. They are bad because Of
bad drainage and in most cases lit
tie head work would remedy the trou-
BILE and remove those mud hols which
are not only troublesome but extreme
ly expensive. When a farmer has
hauling to do hehas to reckon with
this mud-hole before he starts and
loads his wagon accordingly. Failing
to do this, he gets stuck, loses time,
breaks his harness and has all sorts
of trouble. Sometimes after freezes
and long-continued bad, rainy weather
our roads are necessarily bad. We
expect this, and make our arrange
ments accordingly. But there is no
excuse for impossible mud-holes, and
road commissioners who allow such
places to go unremedied for months
should be removed from office, for
they are guilty either of unftness or
neglect of duty.

nd the dividing line is 80 closely
drawn that when a woman weeps it
may well be supposed that she laughs
in her heart.
1t seems that woman derives Ger
tain pleasure in weeping. This is why
the play n emotion can be considered
a success. They seem to derive an
instructive pleasure in washing their
eyes with tears
What a hell of witchcraft lies in
the small orb of one particular tear"
With many women pride dries tears
when they should flow freely from the
eyes. Pride should always dry the
tears of anger. There ought to be
more tears of penitence over our neg
lect of the afflicted. over the griefs of
others, over the sorrows of the world.
The tears of woman when naturally
produced shoald soften the hardest Of
heart, but when woman exercises the
tyranny Of tears she takes an unjust
advantage of her SEEK.

Uncle John Sleeps With His WinOws
Open.

Uncle John dropped into the Pro-
gressive Farmer office the other
morning, went over to the subscrip-
ton department and asked how much
it would take to pay him a year ahead,
and rather ostentatiously, we thought,
pulled out a check book. "Sold some
cotton yistiddy," he said, "an' put the
proceeds in the bank-fust time in
my I've felt like rale business man,
payin' debts by check. The town store
keepers have been gittin all my mon
ey before, but this year it's pure vel
MISREPRESENTATION and independence,
you know, an part of it's gone in the
bank to the credit of your Uncle John
& Co."
The talk then turned upon a rather
remarkable topic-the weather-and
the frost we had the night before;
whereupon Uncle John opened up.

why lots Of folks who would raise

Here the old man stopped min
ute and laughed.
