A rrSr ExrosIrInn

Dear Editor and Corner Sistersi did so enjoy the picnic at c. D. S.s fn Scotland with all the sisters, and what a treat. to meet so many old hiends and neighbors some of whom have no< met for numbers of yeers. and to gc over the same hills. up and down. and the familiar home of our sister where my sister and I have spent many happy hours the dear old home of our child- hood at the farm adjoining. which nov all eeems like dream and each spot associated with fond memories of dRy1 gone by But the dinner served by the hostesses WAS not a dream but veTy real. Much more than one could possibly eaf and although the day was cloudx thS faces had enough sunshine to make up. I saw three cheers for the hostsss snd each one who helped to make 1t . suo- cess.
 Did any of the sisters sttend ths Eastern States Exposition? It was well worth one's time and effort to go many miles as 1t was larger than ever. Se many different kinds of machinery, yer I etables, live stock and other thinEg too numerous to mention The ground was pretty well filled with tents of all nisss- with exhibits from a number of different states I think 1t is a credit to the state and all who aid in giving the 6oyf
 
 Is well worth one's time to see the dif- ferent things made by the boys and girls. And by closing the schools for day and free admission to the groundR by demonstrations, etc, there 10 greai encouragement to the young. and if otheR states don't follow this example 1t vouit pay them to do so. It is surprising whai skill the girls show in making thingH in fancy articles. sewing. canning. cook fnC ha h0<r Tn rH4rnrI
 radio. etc. It would be hard for many
 an older person to compete.
 One girl started at the age of thirteen
 to raise prize asters. She got second
 prize at, first. Later she started with .
 few hens. and calves, until now at ths
 age of nineteen she owns large dairy
 sells milk and has a large flock of henr
 and pure bred stock, and Is part owner
 of a forty acre farm. The milk cart
 with her own name. etc. certainly ioohr like thrift and shows what a child can
 do if encouraged and given chance by
 those interested in youth. If wish could write of each thing but that would take yard of paper. The
 boy ana girl sscouts drum corps went through many interesting exercises and a
 school band marching with others fur nished plent of music.
 Demonstrations in printing. carpsa
 weaving. making maple syrup. swimming demonstrations, good health lessoRi were given and there were also plenty to interest the ladies. from flowers tc fancy work and keeping track # tn, children teasing for < ride on the merry.
 go-round or the Ferris wheel. catil, , and farm machinery attracted ths men ] think it is a credit that there re nc fal1irs on the ground. Nothing -n fstrsc
 but plenty of food counters for th' hungry and the Ferris wheel, etc, t' . amuse the children.
 Also there was a large tent wit
 plenty of matrons to care for small chil \ dren so their mothers could leave thei ' small youngsters. a Red Cross tent 10 [ the injured. and the service bures
 where the Boy Scouts and police key t track of the lost youngsters. They wer n kePt busy on Friday which was chil . dren's day. for 53.57s children werV O !. the grounds that day and over 7s.oo d persons. making the largest attendanc e ever. hope it will always keep its hig d standard and show the young nothin
 only clean. educational. instructive metf t ods and things.
