Warm Rains Revive Some Grain.

day. Other News.

The nice warm rains have caused
the grain to revive some. We can
see the farmers as they occasionally
take walks over their fields anx.
iously watching the development.
Some have decided to SOW again,
and many have bought more seed,
waiting for seasonable condition of
soil to plow. Corn already around
$3.50 per bushel should cause much
grain sowing yet. Should the oats
not be very good, it will make good
healthy roughage with that western
corn. Our sympathy goes out to
the farmers. We think they are
learning their lesson, and believe
they are learning it we'll.
Last week during those warm
pleasant days, many of the neigh
bors did considerable garden work.
Mr.. John Shelton has supplied us
all with freeze" proof cabbage
plants. They reached him during
the blizzard and froze stiff of course.
He covered them up in a dark place
unpacked until the weather was
open and warm, finding them Eardy
and the roots like little brush, rea.
DIV to grow. The ladies are all de-
lighted and wondering at the exper-
iment.
The attendance at the Y. w. A.
which met with Miss Lou Eva Park
man on last Sunday was large and
quite interesting. The girls had
considered plan for contributing
to the Training School, therefore.
the program was much help and en-
joyed very much. They joined and
formed a dollar club to which they
contributed beautifully. AT a re-
ception to be given by Miss Kath-
leen kenrick, the contributions will
be brought in.

Mr.. O'Neal Zimmerman honored
the young folks with a surprise
Valentine party given at Mr.. M. 7.
Clegg, last Wednesday evening.
About eight of the party entered to-
gether, and Mrs. Clegg who knew
nothing of the gathering, answered
the knock at the door, and just as
she closed it the remainder came
rushing in, when she exclaimed,
well, how many more?' She must
have felt like Mr.. LaPene of Bos-
ton, Mass, when his friends gave
him a surprise party on his birth
day. Mrs. LaPene said as the par
ty gathered. I'VE haven't chairs
enough, Mr.. LaPene." OH yes,
madam, he laughingly replied,
Plenty of chairs, but too much
company"

Mr.. and Mrs. j. T. Griffis made
the evening very pleasant by call
ing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lambs today.
The Sunbeams hold the monthly
meeting Oh next Sunday after Sun
day School. Their efficient and
faithful leader, Mrs. Griffis, is ac-
lively planning for her little band,
and we trust the parents may not
neglect the opportunity, but send
their children to Mrs. Gritfis, re-
membering the children of to-day
will be the men and women of the
future. That thought should be
ever with us, stimulating US, and to
make use of the efforts put forth in
helping TO make useful men and
women of our boys and girls.
