This manual, she said, has been translated into eleven languages and is considered the best of its kind. It tells the newcomer to the United States something of American ideals, also giving much practical information concerning problems which are likely to confront him.
 "The Stone Age" poem written especially for the occasion by Miss Marjorie Moore, elicited much praise from those present. This poem dealt in a humorous manner with her work on various committees, this work having been quite gen. erally connected with stones, ceme- tery records and memorial markers,
 An interesting feature of the aft- ernoon came when Mrs, F. J. Skin ner read letter written by Mrs. Emma Hart Willard, after whom the chapter was named, to her cousin, Elijah Burritt, a brother of Elihu Burrtt.
 Greetings from members unable to be present were read and Mrs. Russell Gold responded for the new members with a pleasing original poem. Under the efficient leader ship of Mrs. Robert Chapman those present sang patriotic songs in the course of the afternoon, the words of several having been written espe- Cially for the use of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of America"
 The meeting proved to be one of the most successful held by Emma Hart Willard chapter. and, al- though the program was more or less of an informal nature, it could not have been more interesting in regard to throwing Q light upon the carly days of the chapter and what the national order is doing.

THE SOWER

A sower went forth to sow,
His eyes were dark with woe;
He crushed the flowers beneath his
feet,
Nor smelt the perfume warm and
sweet,
That prayed for pity everywhere.
He came to a field that was harried
By iron, and to heaven laid bare:
He shook the seed that he carried
Ger that brown and bladeless place.
He shook it, as God shakes hail
Over a doomed land,
When lightnings interlace
The sky and the earth, and His wand
Of love is a thunder fail.
Thus did that sower sow; r.
His seed was human blood,
And tears of women and men.
And /, who near him stood,
Said: When the crop comes, then
There will be sobbing, and signing,
Weeping and wailing and crying,
Flame and ashes and Woe
1t was an autumn day
When next l went that way.
And what, think you,' did l see?
What was it that l heard?
The song of a sweet-voiced bird?
Nay-but the songs of many,
Thrilled through with praise and
prayer. t...
OF all those voices not any
Were sad of memory:
And sea of sunlight flowed, :.
And a golden harvest glowed!
On my face, l fell down there;
And | said: Thou only art wise
God of the earth and skies!
And l thank Thee, again and again,
For the sower whose name is Pain

other good man in him. A little
humor was also mixed in occa-
sionally, one farmer stating the
only thing he had against Tru-
man was that he was the cause
of his son checking him up. The
son was to do the bookkeeping
and all time must be accounted
for. In the summer time it work
ed out fine but when the boy re-
turned to school he could know
what his father was doing only
before and after school hours. So
the boy questions: What did you
do that hour, the next hour, the
half hour, Is minutes, ETC.? The
father said he could not lie to
his son. After all it probably
works out for more cooperation,
better understanding and more
comradeship between father and
son. T.
Superintendent F. Clarey Mel
sen who knows Mr.. Truman from
college days, the two having
been together at Peru, Nebr.,
back in 1908 to 1910, said that
the honored guest carried with
him the spirit of old Peru
which was the spirit of service
good service. The old sturdy oak
trees, the hills and the beauti-
full natural scenery combined
with the spirit that prevailed
there has it's effect on him, was
the opinion expressed by Mr..
Nielsen. |
In behalf of the Glee Club Carl
Miller in few we'll chosen words
thanked Mr.. Truman for his per-
severance in drilling them and
said that the spirit of the song
was something that he continu-
ally labored to get into it..
Words, melody and expression
must all go together to make it
complete.
Geo A. Pond of the University
Farm, St. Paul, who has super
vision over the statistical route,
was also present Sunday evening,
being here to get the new man
started on the route and to
check up as he does occasionally.
Being called upon by the toast
master Mr.. Pond said that Mr..
Truman had been an able and
faithful employee of the Univer-
sity Farm and thanked him for
his good work and wished him
success in the future. Mr.. Pond
also stated that G. O. Ruud will
be here only temporarily as he
goes to Crookston to take up sta
tistical route work there in the
spring and then it is likely that
the Askov route will be taken
care of by Martin Hansen, we'll
known to Askov people.
Mr.. Ruud was introduced and
said he realized he had a big job
to fill in taking the place of Mr.
Truman.
Mr.. Truman then thanked eve
rybody for the friendly spirit
shown. He said he had enjoyed
his stay of nearly a year in Askov
and deeply appreciated the home
he had lived in here. He had
witnessed that an old white
haired lady, while doing her dali
ly tasks about the house, seem
ingly trivial, though very i'm
portant, had time to think of
lending helping hand to
friends, neighbors and those in
need, and it is this spirit that is
good to meet.
Mr.. Truman plans on going to
California to live and will leave
