YOUR NEIGHBOR'S GOOD WILL

It is not always easy to be agree able, kind and just to neighbors, yet this is our imperative duty if we would make use of our opportunity to serve. All neighbors are not kind; all are not agreeable, all are not just, consequently there is temptation to treat them as they treat us. That seems to be human nature.
 But most of the coolness and lack of interest among neighbors is re- suit of misunderstanding. Most of the distrust and selfishness among men IS for imaginary reasons, Those we know seldom disappoint us. To krow ones neighbors well generally is to admire them and have something ia common with them.
 For this reason, it is best to under stand your neighbors and let them have chance to understand you. Then the minor faults disappear; the peculiarlties are overlooked and the minor objections forgotten.
 Fortunate indeed are those who are charitable enough to sympathize with theil neighbors even when they seem not to have deserved it. The fact that you do this will do more to gain the respect and honor of your neighbor than anything else you can do
 Farm life will depend very largely upon the manner in which the people of the community regard each other. Neighborhood harmony is essential to contentment and happiness among
 "'g people on the farm Since the s"ture of the neighborhood must de-
 e'd upon the young people, it is worth while to make any reasonable sacrifice to keep friendship and good will among neighbors in the commun- ity.-Farm and Ranch.

AUTO AND /. c. OF |.
BRINGS FARMER NEARER CITY
AND CUTS DOWN COSTS.


The future Influence of the auto,
mobile on our methods of life is hard
ITO foresee. But is is certain that this
influence will be tremendous. The
motor car is bringing the world to-
gether. 1t is eliminating distance. 1t
is bringing the country nearer to the
city, the east near to the west. It, is
helping the people of the different
parts of the land better to understand
each other
Would you imagine that the auto,
mobile may ultimately solve the
problem of the high cost of living
II will.
The middleman came into existence
originally because the farm was SO
far from the city. With the gasoline
propelled vehicle the farmer can now
reach the city market in a few hours
His need for the commission merchant
is not so great The value of the
food distributor is consequently les
sening. The automobile will some day
bring the farmer direct to the con
sumner, and also the consumer direct
to the farmer.
The standard of living on the farm
is, of course, reyolutionized by the
automobile. Not only has the auto
mobile brought about the possibility
of city shopping for the family but 4
also aids mechanically the operations
of the former through the various ap
pliances for pumping, thrashing. ste.
The coming of the city motorist in
to the open country has led to good
roads better hotels, improved vii
lagos, and a beneficial influence or
the thoughts and manners of the farm
jewellers. You might be surprised Il
the village pastor told YOU that the
popular priced automobile had greatly
increased Sunday attendance on the
part OF the far dwelling parishioners-
1t is hard to foresee the end, how
ever, for no man can tell the develop
ments of the automobile tomorrow
The progress of the motor industry In
the last decade reads like a stor!
from the Adrian Nights. Any MAI
even the next five years is indiscreet

CHAPTER X ELECTS.
MRS. NELLIE BALDWIN CHOSEN
PRESIDENT OF THE p. e. o.

The anausl luncheon of Chapter x
p. Il. o., was held in the banquet
room of the Lacey Hotel on Saturday
afternoon. About forty ladies We're
seated at the tables, among them
out of town guests, Mrs, Jorgenser
of Gillespie, H., Miss Edith Warren
of Pella, and Mrs, John Ryan OF
New Sharon
A number of Chapter X members
who can seldom attend the meetings
We're also in attendance and their
presence was much enjoyed.
The p, e. o. colors, yellow. and
white, were used in the table deco
rations of dainty spring flowers and
in the place cards. Following an ap-
petizing four course luncheon was a
program consisting of musical mum
bers by Mrs. A. r. Bowie, a paper on
Iowa's Proposed Park at McGregor,
written by Mrs. c. E. Sawyer and
read by Mrs. Martinstein, and a talk
by the president, Mrs. Baldwin.
At the business session the Treas
urer's annual report showed that in
addition to their chapter expenses,
Chapter Y had given over $3.50 this
past year for educational and philan.-
thropic work. Generous gifts have
been made to this fund by non-resi-
dent members, who, though circum-
stances prevent them from actively
participating in the work of the
chapter, are nevertheless deeply in
terested in its welfare. ....
The, election of, officers resulted as
follows:
President-Mrs. Nellie Baldwin.
Vice President-Mrs. nellie Ross-
enblatt.
Recording SecretaEy-Mrs. Ozella
Redman.
Corresponding Secretary - Mrs
Nellie Allen
Treasurer-Miss Lillian Kilburn.
Chaplain-Mrs. Lizzie Blackford.
Guard-Mrs Francis Johnson.
The president, Mrs. Baldwin, will
represent the chapter at the State
Grand Chapter meeting at Fairfield
in April, and will represent this dis
trict at the Supreme convention at
Omaha. Mrs. b. o. Jerrel was chos-
en- as her alternate.
The members of the chapter are
assured that good year is ahead of
them, under the efficient leadership
of the officers chosen. Each year
seems the best; each year the tie
that bands" grows stronger. Almost
q years has Chapter x been organ
lied and never has greater harmony
existed or closer friendship among
the members.

House and from which the chief exc
cutive viewed the paraders.
It was the gravity of the situation

which gave to the inaugural ceremo
MES their serious tone and patriotic
features. The parade of the day was
largely military in Its nature, although
there were in the procession man,
bodies which in sense might be said
to represent the spirit OF Industrial
preparedness of the United States fol
any eyentuality which might come.
Makeup Of the Procession.
At the forefront of the parade as il
left the capitol were. of course, the
president and the vice president of the
United States with their guards OF
honor. Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, u. s.
army, was the grand marshal of the
occasion. George K. Linkins was the
marshal of the civic organizations
which took part in the marching cere.
monies.
Immediately preceding the carriages
of the presidential and vice presiden.
tial parties and of Col. Robert n. Har-
per, inaugural chairman, was the fa.
nous United .StaEs Marine band. The
president had as his guard Of honor
the squadron of the Second United
States cavalry.
The Vice President and Mrs. Mar
shall were escorted by the Black Horse
troop of the Culver Military academy,
Indiana, the state of which the vice
president and his wife are natives.
The West Point cadets and the An
napolis cadets took part In the process
sion. In addition to these young sol
der and sailor organizations there was
as large q representation Of the forces
of the United States as properly could
be spared from post and garrison duty.
In addition there were troops from
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland, Virginia, and some other
states Of the Union representing the
National Guard.
A patriotic and picturesque feature
of the ceremonies attending the inau-
guration was supplied by the rapidly
thinning ranks of the Grand Army of
the Republic. In years past the sol
diers of the war between the states
have made the entire length of the line
of march, but this year the distance
which they tramped was shortened.
They added to the picture of the pa.
rade as they moved by the presidential
reviewing stand with their old flags
above them.
At night Washington was aglow
with fireworks and with the combined
effects of gas and electric light illumi-
nations. In addition searchlights
showed the heavens here and there,
and one great shaft Of light illumi.
mated the apex of the Washington
while another lighted up
and brought into bold relief the dome
of the capitol.

down in the last few years. Some were
at corners of intersections of the
roads,-others along the side.
