We are glad to know that our young
people are so Vitally interested in Ep
worth League activity. The writer GER
tainly enjoys living in a town where the
young people realize what they must do
TO have a community, not town.
Again, the thought comes to our minds.
especially after the worlds war has just
terminated, what are we doing for our
boys and for the perpetuity Of a world
democracy. Surely no organization can
do more TO teach boys loyalty obedience,
work. courage and reverence that a Boy

The farmers again held their meeting,
Wednesday evening, April 2, at the White
Hall. In the early part OF the evening
the time was devoted to getting new
members. The enrolment now numbers
over 106 members. This surely manifests
that our leading farmers mean business
Prof. Vaughn, our county agent, with
Prof. Locates and Mr.. Brown arrived on
the scene to stimulate more active inter-
est among our farmers. Not only, how
ever does Mr.. Vaughn interest our farm
ers, but even the school children say that
when he comes that you can LOOK for US
at your next meeting. In the course Of
Mr.. Naughn's humorous speech, he dem
onstrated the treatment of sweet pota-
toes to prevent insects and Fungus. After
he concluded, Mr.. jefferson, with some
Of the school children, entertained US
with appropriate singing. Then Prof. !
Locates, the extension plant pathologist, |
talked for some time. Several more |
farmers also signed to grow melons in
order that our crops can be diversified. |
The meeting then adjourned until We'd |
nesday evening, April 9, when we hope |
something definite can be done about |
contracting for tomatoes.
The Great Junior Sagamore, Seward |

pose Of raising the chiefs to their re- |

interesting and instructive talk on Red
manship and how to crystalline and pro-
mote interest in the order, after which |
his associates gave interesting talks also. |
When the Council Fire was quenched the |
refreshments. consisting Of ice cream and |
