would not. Yet you will knowingly
do something that will put you in
hell. Why don't you do the thing
that you know will put you in favor
with God? Most people are willing
to do 1t. it's only necessary to bring
it before their mind.
Whatever God has promised to give
us we ought to have faith to ask God
for--salvation or blessing or any
thing else in the world. when Jesus

The io4th Psalm. the 35th verse:
Let the sinner be consuT ed out OF
the earth and let the wicked be no
more"
This always seemed to me to be a
queer verse OF Scripture, II is verse
more often misunderstood than any
other and read by many to justify
their living in sin. 1t contains a
thought which I don't ftnd so well OK
pressed in any other verse not on ac-
count of It's peculiarly, but because
Ii Is used by men to justify their liv-
ing In sin. There is much unjust criti-
cism of David. who lived virtuous
and upright life. He said: Let wick
edness Of the wicked come to an end"
1t shows David's sympathy toward his
fehow-nen when he wept when he
heard OF others SHINING. But they
would not be saved. Some kept on
SHINING and living In sin. He saw
what was the need OF the commu-
nifty and the nation agd said:
20 God, IL men won't stop SHINING
Notwithstanding your commands. then
let them be- consumed out of the
earth"

able to report on the merits OF the
feeding proposed. Mr.. Partridge
then asked for an expression of
feeling relative to holding u school
in the spring similar to those in
past years. All who spoke favored
the school. and Supt. j. H. Leonard
OF the Model Dairy Farm strongly
favored the idea.
Relative to the campaign the
past summer against the grasshOp-
per pests, Mr. Partridge urged.
that while good work had been
done, yet the drive had not been
completed until the farmers had
burned the mass OF weeds along the
fence rows and bitches to kill the
grasshOppers lodged in them and
also destroyed the grasshOpper eggs
laid in and around these weeds
Mr. Partridge urged that it was
very important to burn these
weeds.
Relative, to the Dairy Tour it
was the opinion of the majority
present that great good would be
derived from the tour and that it
ought to be pulled of. Mr.. Leon
ard of the Dairy Farm declared that
this was one way for local dairy
men to keep out of q ruby 60
ing and seeing how other dairy
men operated
1t was finally decided that all the
local dairymen as nearly as posi-
BILE participate in the tour and
that Tuesday, Nov. 4th or Tuesday,
Nov. 11th would be the date, de-
pending on the condition of the
weather.
1t is the plan for the dairymen to
leave Holly at 8 o'clock in the
morning and finish at Lamar at
in the afternoon, SO that all could
get home in time for the evening
milking.
The following tentative tour was
proposed by County Agent Sweitz
er who has the matter in charge
leave Holly at s a. m. and go to Mar
shal Creek farm, thence to Wagon
er & Gilbert's, to Harry Heath's,
to Turpin & Dewitt's, to Roy
Blody's, to Martin & Williams and
finish at E. p. Gilbert's.
1t was earnestly urged that there
be no delays and that everybody
be ready to move at each place.
Jens Jensen, who is always practi-
cal, suggested that a mechanician
be taken along in the last car of
the caravan to provide against
long delays in case of tire or other
trouble.
President Partridge suggested
the necessity of developing more
oratOry during the winter meetings
of the club, SO that q fuller express
sion of ideas and greater diffusion
of knowledge be gained. 1t is hop
ed that the winter meetings may be
made more interesting by every
body taking an active part in dis
cussiOns.

per Valley.
AUTOMOBILE TRIP WILL
DE MADE NEXT MONTH
Date Bet for Tuesday November
4th or 11th, Depending ON Condi.
tion Of Wssthsr-Dairy School
Next Spring Being Planned For.

The attendance of the Holly Cow
Club meeting last Saturday night
was some what below normal,
probably due to number going to
the picture show, not wishing to
lose out on the serial that night.
Further evidence of it being an "Off
night" materalized in the late ar
rival of County Agent Swietzer, who
was to be one of the main speak
ers, whose fiivver went on q strike
on the way down from Lamar.
The principal feature up for dis
cussiOn was the Dairy Tour sug-
gested q couple of weeks ago in
which it was proposed that all the
dairymen and their friends in the
Holly district take an automobile
trip to the various dairy farms in
the upper valley in the vicinity of
Lamar and Wiley.
The evenings program opened
with business session during
which Secretary C. F. Hampton
gave financial report showing the
club to be in good financial shape.
A review OF the summer picnic of
the Cow club which collideds with
the fourth of July celebration this
year developed the opinion of a ma
jority that the club picnic would
better be held on q day by itself
rather than to combine it with q
town or other celebration.
President w. s. Partridge briefly
outlined recent session of the
County Cow Testing Association
held at Lamar, in which it became
necessary to jig up the financial
end of the association, whereupOn
the land company and the various
banks OF the county came to the
rescue in fine shape and put the
association out of debt, and pro-
vision made for the payment of the
salary OF the cow tester, Mr.. Rob
ert Boerner, q highly efficient dairy
man recently secured from WiscOn-
sin.
President Partridge urged that it
was a duty the farmers owed to
maintain the association; that the
benefits derived were well worth
while. He noted that recently the
Holly district had made a poor
showing, whereas it should be the
leading district of the county. He
said we had too few cows that were
producing 40 pounds of better fat
per month. He attributed the ap-
parent falling off to scarcity of help
and the making of more money
than formerly out of general farm
crops.
Mr.. Partridge also read a letter
from Prof. Clark of the Agricultur-
al College relative to the holding
of the annual dairy school here in
the spring. The letter also con
tanned Recommendation that the
dairymen follow his outline Of feed
ing between now and the date of
the school so that they would be
