SEED CORN

The time for picking seed corn is
again here. Do not be careless be-
cause there is great abundance of
good seed corn. There will be plenty
of sale for good seed next spring. You
will always find that there is some
farmer who has neglected to save the
proper amount of seed. Select your
seed and cure it quickly and thoroly
and then keep it dry. Remember the
important thing is not that you have
seed that will grow, but that you have
seed that will grow with strong vi
tality under adverse conditions.

JUNE MEETING OF CLUB NO. 2.

Dear Social Corner Friends: We'd nesday. June 4th, we think will go on record as very warm day. Never theless goodly number of the mem bers of Club No. wended their way to Buckingham Memorial, hoping that others might not be kept away by the excessive heat Although there was the smallest number present that Il hays ever seen there at one of our gatherings. we had a very enjoyable time despite the heat.
 Much of the time was spent in giv- ing the Chautauqua salute to the heat by using our handkerchiefs to wipe the perspiration from our faces; but the rooms there are so large and airy. if the windows are open, that we did not feel the heat as much as we would in smaller house. Each one came laden with some nice food for the table, and at noon we all enjoyed the delicious food with which the table was well filled. We could have fed several more. After all had been supplied, what was left was sold at auction by Calla Lily. -t.-t. Joan gave us some music. but the Virginia reel was dispensed with ow- l ing to the heat.
 l Deliah Deal furnished some guessing
 games in which all took part. , Everybody seemed to try to have z 1 good time by helping everyone else ts 1 have good time.

PRACTICAL ECONOMIES.

Dear Sister Viola: You asked me how to live on SIP per week, @
 If you are sure of SIP per week, you are sure of a good living.
 First, take out your rent every. week. milk money, ete.l1 imagine when the rent is out. and milk, you have about sS left. Twenty five cents for church, D cents for the poor of the church, cents for the Salvation Army; that leaves $7.60.e We will lay by 60 cents week towards shoes and Sl week towards clothes.
 Thees are a few of the things every woman who tries to get the greatest value for the money she spends for food should always keep in mind: If someone else bakes your bread, cake and pies, cooks your meat, cans your vegetables, makes your jelly and jam, pays for advertising these things and then sells them to you, you must pay him well for all this work-a high | price for this food. 1 Take for instance cereal: Cornmeal sells for cents pound in bulk. A | business firm packs the same sort of | cornlneal into packages, names it, ad- ! vertises it, and sells it for F cents q 1 pound, Now another firm takes corn. puts it through d rolling process and makes it into cornflakes, puts it into a 1 package and names it, advertises 1t, ana sells for IS cents a pound. The | amount of food in the corn products remains about the same, but you pay 1 three or four times as much for corn 1 flakes as you do for cornmeal, so when l you buy cereal always buy in bulk i farina, rice, whole.
