We intend to let it stay rite where 1t
is, and it doc seam funny that Mr..

think of moyin old Fish Pom, fur don't
they know that in movin it they'd
LIKELY turn over sum of there stills,
and too, set it down on some other
kommunity. They doc tell me that
there is places on this ole earth where
there's nothin but space but am sure

myles from home and have never
struck one of these places yet, an
even if they did the transportation
wud be orful by. Uno, whin we talk
of the things we are goin to doc,
some of our men folks will only laff
and say that we'll never do enything
in polertics, that we wimmin talk too
much erbout our valors, and that we
can't keep a secret at all. In behaf
Of my feller wimmin I wish to denie
both these charges. In the fust place
we don't speke i'll of our frens unless
sumbody else has said it fust, and the
men do ditto and the same. AS to
the matter of keepin secrits, am sure
I've KEEP my age profuse secrit for

or,nsTYLE REPLIES TO sPOTTER
pouhss the Presence of ''Wimmin' al
Meeting.

Three Mile Township, Nov. 22, IL.
Dear Mr.. Edditer:-Have bin think
in fur sum tyne previously of ritin to
yore paper but was JUS AFRAID you
Wud not publish my peece. But have
bin readin Mr.. Highball Spoilers ar
tucles and it has put me to thlnkln'
so spoke to my old fren, Sarah Jane
Doolittle, about hit, so she tells me
to doc so by all meens. Now, Sarah
Jane is well informed, for shes trav-
eled erbout considerbul, and can talk
so nice erbout home equinoxes and
mental deficiency for wimmin. Now
as to miself, I never cud talk much
but cud alters shout with my pin.
Don't think I'm puffed up erbout my
ritin erbility, fur aint, Mr.. Edditer,
but lots of folks have been sayin fur
sum tyne that 1 ort not to hyde my
lite under quart measure.
Well, enuff sed erlong this line, to
cum to the rale objec of this peece
and to make short story long. I'll
say that while l have every respec
fur Mr.. Spotter, still I muss say I doc
differ sum with him. In the fuss
place don't believe there was emmy
wimmin at that meetin he spoke er-
bout, for if there was they mus have
bin skeered. That 'meetin is so kar-
acteristic of the men-fus heap of
talkin and nothing else. Anuther
case of sumthin attempted nuthin
dun as the poit has so bootifully said.
In the secon place hes maxim all
manner of complaints erbout the bad
.rodes and the men benin the jobs.
Now if Mr.. Spotter wus much of a
filosopher, think he cud see so easy
that it wus not the bad rodes that
caused so menny cars to be over
turned, but rather the bad drivin and
the bad whiskey benin the drivin.
Uno I don't believe you'll hear of so
much complaints erbout bad rodes
an so forth when we wimmin cum
into power, fur rally don't suppose
we'll have many cars to turn over,
perhaps only an old grey mule and
jersie waggin, but anyway We'll try
to be continted an happie an if we
make a bad bargain We'll make the
best of it. Certainly, as Sarah Jane
has said, we'll not be human para
ehutes, fer we'll go to work and &C
complish sumthin if its only to hush
the squalls of yellin kid.
Uno in the third place, don't think
we wimmin folks wud ever think fer
one minnit of movin ole three myle
township to e more desirerbul place.

FRANK MARCELLUS WILL
HAVE A MODERN HOME

One of the worthy and honored
couples of the Meridian community
will soon see the dream Of years re-
allied in the shape of a comfortable
home. Mr. and Mrs Frank Marcel
lus are planning to finish at least
the lower part of their new residence
within the next two months. The
MareeIlls ranch is 41a miles south
east of Meridian, in what is known as
the Five Mile neighborhood, and not
far distant from the new Five Mile
school house,
What is especially noticeable about
the place is the wonderful possibili-
ties for landscape gardening around
this home. The old house, which oc-
cupies an elevation above the SUR
roundings, and near which the new
house is being built, is in grove of
trees, and the finest white maple in
the Meridian country casts its shade
over nearly a half acre of ground,
the tree being of unusual size. Mrs.
Marcellus says the tree was planted
when they located on the place, about
20 years ago, and as the variety did
not seem native to this country, it re-
quired much care on her part to keep
it alive, for several years.
There is creek bed that winds
thru the grounds, making sylvan
dell in which the birds make thetr
home, thru this is a driveway leading
to the main highway. There are cob
BILE stones, sandy soil and running
brook that distinguishes the place
from the surroundings, and only the
lack of the necessary funds has kept
Mr. Marcellus from developing this
entrance to the homestead as il
should be. 1t is the Plan of Mr.. ant
Mrs. Marcellus to put this place in .
more attractive condition and it ii
this hope that is keeping them young
| in thought and purpose and they art
decidedly opposed to the idea thai
when couple have reached certain
Iage they should settle down withou
lambition but the very fact that they
have only just commenced the beautt
sying of their ranch, indicates tht
possibilities of every person SO sit
uated in the Meridian community
| The house is two stories, of squar,
colonial construction, with the home
like style of the front constituting
one large room, which is SO populai

THOMAS w. POTTER MAKES
. SUCCESS WITH DAIRY HERR

Thomas w, Potter, who has a nice
.80-acre ranch four miles southeast
of Meridian, has as good a bunch of
Holstein cows as there is in this VIC
Unity He milks from 10 to Is cows.
while his pasture contains some good
young stock, steers and calves Mr..
Potter has tried various ways to in
crease the income from his ranch, i'm
cluding the raising of clover seed,
etc, but he says that the dairy COW,
especially this year with the cheap
hay, is the salvation of the farming
industry.
While of course he believes that to
get something from COW balanced
ration is necessary, yet he says he
will feed his hay of which he has a
large amount, to the cows and with
the silage and perhaps little ground
barley, he will get them through the
winter in good shape and with but
little extra expense. He will feed
about three-fourths of ton of hay
to each COW per month this winter,
and from the same COW will get a
Meridian cheese factory check of
Iabout $12 per month. This is
better than can be done in any other
line just now, especially as he has
two mammoth stacks of hay conven-
lent to the stock. The milk tests
around per cent.
Mr.. Potter has been on the place
for several years and although COM
paratively a young man, he has de-
yeloped his farm into one of the most
productive in the community.
Mr.. and Mrs. Potter take time from
their farm work to help with all com
munity enterprises and are good cit
izens

4bouf Our GlDu IoZzs

for a farm home where there is a
large family, Mr.. and Mrs. Marcel
tlus have six daughters, who have all
heartily co-operated in the plan, and
each will have one of the rooms up
stairs
Those ladies who have wrestled
with the problem of how to handle
the frequent increase in the number
OF those to feed, in the way of extra
help at haying and threshing time,
etc, will be delighted with the ar
rangements Mrs, Marcelius has plan
ned for the kitchen and dining room.
Besides having a service, making it
easy to get dishes from the kitchen
to the table, there is splendid ar
lIangement of cupboards which will
be the envy of any housewife. Ey-
erything is modern and up to date,
and there will be electrical devices
to save and help in the preparation of
a meal.
These worthy people are entitled
to these good things of life, and we
hope their new home will come up to
their expectations. One chief desire
of theirs is that they will have a
place to more comfortably accommo-
date their many friends when they
come to see them.
