Birthday Party at Albion.
Sunday. August 20. 1C

Sunday, August 20, 1920.
The morning was dark with storm
clouds and glorious downpour came
that gladdened the heart of the farm
ers and quenched the thirst of the
earth. The storm clouds drifted away
and the bright sun appeared. On this
day merry party came to the lonely
home of Mrs. Almyra Collins to cheer
her on her 85th birthday. The after
noon tea was delicious, the music was
fine and the songs of the beautiful sing
ers were enjoyed by all. Mrs. Collins
read poem written in her girlhood
days while attending school at Alfred.
Now can write composition,
0 what pleasing sensation,
For it always was my disposition
To plead for ladies' education.
The men they think to rule the nation
BY filling every higher station,
And regard not ladies' education;
They claim to be the first creation
If men would make this restoration
And give the ladies education;
Oh! what mighty reformation
Would ring throughout this vast
creation.
She rendered it we'll in her own sweet
way, and she has lived to see it come
true. We'll vote this fall and show to
men we're Gods best creation.
One of the Party.
