A Christmas asuppose..

81 we would not change the .children's
Christmas. But suppose all the grown
up people were to say to one another:
.sThis year, instead of my giving YOU
present and your giving me pres
emf, let us club together and give our
present to some poor child who will
not have any Christmas. There are
hundreds of them somewhere Or, if
wesdo not know of such a child, let us
give our present to hospital for chill
dren, home for crippled children, for
incurables, for the aged, the blind, the
feeble-minded" This to be. of course,
in addition to what we usually give
to charities at this season. Why could
we not try this as an experiment, and
see what the result would be Chris

A CHRISTMAS WALK

In silvery softness the anthem closed
Like a slowly silenced bell
The sacred calm of peace divine
Like a benediction fell;
And out on the morning light that spread
A glimmer OF amber gray,
I walked with Margery home from church
On an old. old Christmas Day.
bland, mild day-for the rugged month
Had chosen a kindly mood,
Like wonderful mellow aftermath
From the Autumn,s plenitude.
With scarcely tang of wholesome cold
Did the Winters sbreezes blow,
As Margery walked from church with me
On Christmas long ago.
The earnest words that had touched our
hearts
The warnings, kindly and wise
Had left shadow OF tenderness
In Margery's violet eyes;
The merry hoydenish maid I'd known
For twelvemontl's flying space,
Had taken on that old Christmas Day.
new and womanly grace.
As through the tremulous opal clouds
That shifted and swayed apart,
A sun ray lighted the rosy face,
The wish was born in my heart
That down the trail of the unspent years,
Whatever their trend might be-
The soft-eyed maiden beside me then,
Might walk TO the end with me-
Absently watching the velvet flakes
By the white gale set awning,
/ breathe the spirit of other years
While the bells of Yuletide ring;
And near me, smiling with happy eyes
At our children's romping play,
Is the girl who walked from church with
me
On that old, sweet Christmas Day.

An exceptionally practical program
has been worked out for farm wo-

farmers and Home Makers Week.
AS sequel of the times, emphasis
will be placed on thrift-thrift in pro-
viding for the table, for clothing and
for comfort and pleasing surround
ings. Lessons will be given in pres
ervation of food, how to combat com
tagious diseases, and other problems
relating TO health. There will be
practical demonstrations in the home
making Of millinery and the buying
of fabrics for clothing and house
hold purposes.
With the recent organization of the
Minnesota Federation of Farmers,
Clubs, the constructive work which is
be accomplished through this, organi-
cation is more noticeable than ever
before. The strength Of the Feder7
alton naturally depends upon the CO.
operation which. the Federation re-
ceives from the individual farmers
clubs throughout the state. Stearns
county has three of four active farm
ers' clubs but this number should be
more than doubled during the coming
year.
The farmers clubs and the organic
alton Of people ia any community
work for the Improvement Of their
homes and community. A. few FAM
lilies working together may constitute
a very successful farmers club but
where-ever possible the club should
include the people Of a given com
nlunity. a rural school district is q
suitable territory to be coxered BY a
farmers club. Meeting can be held in
the homes of members, in town halls,
or in school houses.
A good active farmers club will do
for a rural community practically the
same work that an active commercial
club will do for a village or a city.
The farmers club has a tendancy to
secure the united influence Of COM
n1unity, to bring about any desired
improvement, and further it will
unite the Community to oppose any
thing not for the best interest. We
can conceive Of no way in which a
farmers club could possibly be detri--
mental to a community and there is a
great opportunity for the club to be
beneficial to the community in which
