FAV0ks SMALL &s WELL AS LARGE
 61GBs.

Dear Social. Corner Members: While 1 was one of ths first writer's to the Corner, Although under a difsrsnt name, I have never .Attsndsd any Of the Eather- ings but hot because I would hot liks to. I wish was near you, Etta Barber. I should be only tB6 glad to join your club. 1 eertainIy felt Sorry f6r you when ho one eafnS ih ahsWsr te your call While it would bs .vtry nfce to frteet with the large crowds it Is not possible for all of us to 20 So far With myself. it means extra work 6Sth 6sforg And after a days outing Aid -as you say. car fare means something. I do tiot know thAt know any rnefnbeSs of the Corner, Al- though Soh1s may bs my neikhbors and friends. 1 do wish there was 1 cluB Somewhere near Hs. Is thers one any whers Oh ths lins from Ash&*ay t6 No- ank?
 AS to winter house cleaning, I do that way. I always clean bureaus, boxes, chests etc, long before the stoves are taken down. It means a great kolp to me where one psir Of hands has avery thing to do. May be that is why I never get time t6 fnake rugs, etc. we all have ouF. ways ot doing things.
 I wonder if any of you go 10 the farm bureau demonstrations. have been whsre they made drgss forms and think All who can should improve the oppor- tunity to have one made.
 Next time hope to write something that will De more heipful, but felt must give a word of encodragement about the small clubs. To the busy farx.rs' wives who have a thousand and ons things to do an hSur or 50 Of pleasure means so much. You City women, who. if you feel like cooking Or washing, do So. If not you send ths clothes to the laundry and spend the afternoon with friends, meet your husband and have supper down town or step into the food shop and carry home .youfs sup5er. It is far different than getting up at five or half past and cooking s breakfast that to many of you would be lik. din ner and d%ring the day get two more meals Of ths same kind With d stack of milk thinss at each end of the day. I knoF what 1 am talking about as have lived both ways, so don't snvy the farm CTS wife any pleasure she gets. She more than asrns it and often wonders if it really pays to work so extra early, extra hard and extra late to have a day outing.

If we would have continued success and pros perity, let us see to it that we maintain the same lofty ideals that have always charactefizsd 1t in the past
 Two weeks to the next dnn4r, and the Rebekah bunch to ssrve. Let tis hope the weather will be good as wei as the din ner.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Mir. Editor ana Social Corner Readers was much amused to read Bianches new remedy for convulsions. but heard cf a man 4 few years ago that always put on a red hannel undershirt in Octo- Der and wore the same till the follow Ing May, so as to keep from having pneu- nnonia, and I must say he vas neger known to. Have even a cold through the winter months but was finally killed by tree falling. on him. as he was wood chopper ana worked in the northern part Of New Hampshire
 have been quite interested in some of the taiks of different sisters in re- gardE to odd charapters Of the days zone by, and wonder if we had had the hos pitals in those oIden days if they would have Been allowed to WSndsr around as they did don't think they ever did anyone harm. They had their freed6fn and that means so much to the human being. Even dumb Animals like freedom. but even, at the. present tine so. many are confined for different things when liberty is so sweet to us all. Even our. spirit or soul seeks freedom at times from the cares Of the world, but it seems so sad to me that 30 many little children have taken their lives because they got so tired of living. What is wrong? Years aeo all had to work. the boys and girls even harder than today. but somehow their lives seem to have been purer in 2. way than today. They had good coarse food to eat. plenty of fresh air to breathe and were brought in most cases to fear God and live in fear of doing wrong. Times have changed. Life is q swift stream or river keeping everything n motion. Lives that keep close to the home nest love the dear ones and do not wander, seems to me fully as happy as any.
 It seems sad to think of young girl only 13 years old getting So discouraged over her studies that she took poison to escape punishment at home. Don't you think father and mother to blame some do. Win the confidence Of your child. think what they too would like. don t have them expect 2 scolding or punish n1ent and you will find they will only be too glad to tell pa or ma. what they want tos and seek their advica in little things as well as large ones. older peo- pls Are only little children grown up, l you know.
