Farm Bureau Membership.

Due to bad roads the Farm Bureau
organizer whos helped In the member
ship drive the first week in December
was able to reach only small part
of the county. In the townships that
were reached about so per cent Of the
farmers interviewed on the subject
signed up as members of the Organi-

which was done during the past year.

Tractor School.

Arrangements have been made with
the tractor specialist of the Iowa State
college to hold a tractor school at
Webster City January 16 and II.
A large number of tractors have been
purchased by the farmers Of Hamilton
county during the past two years.
Many of these men have stated that
they feel the need of training which
will enable them to get most out OF
their tractors with the least expense
for fuel, repairs and delays.
1t has been thoroughly demonstrated
that an unframed operator will not run
Il tractor economically or give it the
care necessary to insure it long life.
A horse, when doing heavy work, may
be ruined by farm hand who doesn't
understand how to take care of a horse.
The tractor likewise requires intelli-
gent care.

= Owe is, of course. the greatest moral
force in the world. Lightning is
- one of the greatest material forces.
"All for love and the world well lost"
So runs the creed of those who believe that
love itself justifies everything. Love comes
unbidden, and often unwelcome, it is true
But stilLin this world the majority q peo-
pie hold that love, precious, delightful,
glorious as it may be, is but one of many
factors. There are loyalty, consideration,
faith and duty, and as the Prince of Love
Himself pointed out, selfsacrifice. In all
the catalogue of Loves, Greater love hath
no man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends" said the Saviour
And all this is apropos of the latest ro-
nance of Robert Edeson, and of how he
took this philosophy as embodied in his
newest play. Loves Lightning" to him
self
In his play, Loves Lightning" a COM
edy drama, written in collaboration with
Ada Patterson, and produced in New York
this Spring, Mr.. Edeson made his hero,
Bob Clark, say:
"le0 love llSntuluS SlTlheS a man II 3
all over with him"
And it was distinctly all over with Mr..
Edeson, so far As the life into which he
had apparently settled down for life was
concerned.
The play of which Mr. Edeson was one
parent tells the story of a Manufacturing,
mether-seeking bachelor, content with his
life lot, save in the one particular of his
need Of a mother. He is frank critic of
younger woman or women who are his con-
temporaries. He is candidly, honestly
averse to marriage. He finds the mother
and adopts her. He is happy, well moth
cred bachelor, rejoicing in his serene life
when loves lightning shivers the mold in
which his self-chosen existence is cast
That is precisely what happened to Mr..
Edeson, with the exception that Mr.. EIDE
son has the benedict rather than the bach
elor mind. He had had two marriage idyls.
The first was with Ellen Burg, an eminent
German actress, somewhat older than him
self, and who bore toward him the love Of
both wife and mother. The first Mrs. EIDE
son died

said. He visited the Dutch Oven and the

lage. He was dipping again into the once
abjured stream of metropolitan life.
One day there came the inevitable fac
ing of facts.
The husband and wife faced each other,
both earnest, both pale. eye to eye, soul to
soul
You are right" he said Il won't play
the part of a coward or liar. wish it
were not so, but / love her"
So by a shaft of loves lightning was the
carefully prepared mold of his life broken
As unexpected, as unwelcome as the in
trusion upon Bob Clark's bachelorhood was
the visitation to Bob" Edeson for there
was Mrs. Bob. And there was Roberta
1t was fair-haired little Mrs. Bob who
solved the unhappy problem. She II was
who cut the GOrdian knot
No one can guide the unruly heart rea-
soned Mrs. Bob" The stroke from the
cloud was unlimited. No one wanted it
to come. No overwhelmed it. But il had
come, swift terrible, annihilating a home
and the united future of Mr.. and Mrs. Bob
and Roberta.
IF you are sure you love her, there is
but one thing to do she said, with mis-
leading calm. Il would not want you BY
my side while your thoughts and heart
we're with her"

and Miss Patterson had written, the line
which Mr.. Edeson wrote:
When loves lightning strikes man, it's

Bob" Edeson yielded Strongheart
House, the carpenter shop in which he
played, the boat house and the surf from
the Sound, the garage and the calm ambi-
ton Of years-he gave up his map of the
future, the self-created mold of his life.
Early retirement from the stage no

life that was to be the goal of his moderate
ambitions, knows him no more. In so far
as that phase of his existence is concerned,
he is dead.
Mrs. Bob, admiring him as greatly as
ever, still his devoted friend, lives at
StrOngheart House, which he has given
her; manages Strongheart Garage, which
is also his gift.
THE simple, sincere life of the country

The False Philosophy In the Lines
of Mr.. Edeson' Newest Play
That Induced Him to Cast Aside

The player of heroes mourned her sim
cerely for two years. Then he became the
happy mate of the former Mrs: Charles
Macksy. Mrs. Msckay was one of the
bellies Of Boston. Through her father,
Lynn Boyd Porter, who wrote fiction thrill
ers under the nom de plume Albert Ross,
she was wealthy. On divorcing Actor
Mackay she resumed her maiden name.
George Porter.
The couple built one Of the most beauti-
full homes on the north shore of Long
Island. The great, square, hospitable house
in gray they named Strongheart House. 1t
is a habit of actors to name their estates
in grateful memory Of their chief success.
Mr.. Edeson had many successes, but be-
sides his lovable creation Of the Little
Minister he is most famous for his char
acter Of the Young Indian chieftain, Strong
heart.
There could be no question of Robert
Blossoms happiness at Strongheart House,
which is one of Long Islands show places.
On its broad verandas and in its spacious
rooms he entertained old friends and new.
He built a carpenter shop at the rear Of
the house where he might indulge his fancy
for the saw and square. There were ken
nels, boat house, a diving pier. He had
not merely the esteem. he had the affection
of every man, woman, child and canine in
Sag Harbor.
He was the great man Of the hamlet. He
loved it as it loved him. When he made
speeches at Old Home Week, or when he
turned local orator on the Fourth Of July
he used to say. "In every town l visit al
ways register, Robert Edeson. Sag Har-
bor.'
1T is a great little town. / intend to
spend the rest Of my life here. Here are
my friends. We will grow old together"
The folk of Sag Harbor believed 1t and
cheered. Bob" Edeson believed it and
smiled. The sky was blue.
But he reckoned without loves light
ming. A cloud no larger than the hem OF
a girls skirt appeared upon that sky. 1t
grew. 1t overspread. From 1t flashed
forked lightning. From 1t fell a thunder
bolt. 1t was loves lightning, before which
few men stand untouched and unsecured.
1t shattered the mold in which the actor

Ginghams are to be called upon to
do service for school wear, all the
year round, now that war eats up all
the wool that formerly went into
serges and other strong stuffs. They
are as sturdy as the Scots-one can

woven in all the plaids and checks
that were ever thought of. They are
the foremost of the strong, firmly

taking the place of wool in dresses

Until something in textiles more
beautiful and more becoming than
crepe georgette and chine, is
invented, we may expect them to re-
main the theme of the story of blouses.
The delicacy Of georgette and the
suppleness and sheen of crepe-de-chine
are unrivaled and with this they are
as durable as. heavier fabrics. No
blouses wear better or wash and clean
so easily. The new blouses for fall
and winter are still of these lovely
:repes-they are still silk and bead
embroidered, but there are a few new
style notes that place them as belong
ing to this particular season.
Among these are new methods Of
shaping and finishing neck openings,
the use of batiste for collars, cuffs,
vestees and frills. The Introduction
Of two contrasting colors in georgette
Is an idea carried over from last sea-
