CHEER UP.

Never go gloomily, man with a mind'
Hope is better companion than
fear;
Providence, ever benignant and klnd'
Gives with a smile what you take
with a tear.
All will be right,
Look to the light.
Morning was ever the daughter VI
night;
All that was black will be all that is
bright.
Cheerily, then! Cheer up!
Many a foe is friend in disguise,
Many a trouble a blessing most true,
Helping the heart to be happy anu
wise,
With love ever precious anu JOYS
ever new.
Stand in the van,
Strike like a man,
This is the bravest and cleverest plan;
Trusting in God while you do what
you can.
Cheerily, then! Cheer up!

Dear Aunt Anne
Here I am, trying to write helpful
and hopeful letter for the Mutual
Benefit Column. I'm sure 1 can't.
will begin by telling you, Aunt Anne,
what wonderful time we had the day
we had dinner with the Woods broth
ers and their families down by the
shore 1t was day long to be re-
membered by us all, and the hospital

there were five of us with huge appe-

they mean to write and will now that

I'm not expecting this to get by Aunt
Anne and the editor, both.

It's too bad more are not availing
themselves of the opportunity offered
at these practical meetings. am
hoping to get some new tried and

Now is the time that Nature is be-
ginning to look her best-although
she always looks her best-sprlng,

which is prettiest? I'm sure 1 can't.

seeing beauty in things afar on.
Then let US be practical and behold
a thing of beauty right in our midst,
serving us faithfully and quietly. A
little white house, set back from the
road behind trees let us consider
it, and what it means to the COM
munity.
In these days when the country
doctor as he used to be, no longer
exists, great emphasis is being laid
upon the need of hospital in coun-
try places that shall be as clearing
place or halfway house, where
patients may be brought for treat
ment, and where doctors may visit
regularly when the greater distance
to and from the home could not be
traversed. We have just such
place right here, operating without
outside help, and it spells oppor-
tunity for those who desire to be
helpful. And in such an easy little
way we can be helpful.
Now that the time has come again
for looking over trunks and boxes, 1t
is possible that there may be old SOFT
garments to be discarded. THESE,
or such other material that Is clean
and not colored, can be used to ad-
vantage in a little hospital like this
one. at times when the expensive
commercial absorbent need not De
used. And our right hands Will
never know what the left hands have
done. for there will be no printed
list OF the donors of old cotton.
This little place serves a wlde
radius. Its beginning was made by
a woman of large heart and broad

Fewer Women Work.

1.-THE number of gainfully employed

proportionately small Among the
males, the relative number of persons
who may be regarded as their own
bosses, was found to be more than half
again as high in the villages as in the
cities, 3O.4 per cent as against 1879
per cent; but for those who are not
their own bosses the villages have less

BUGS STUDIED in FIGHT ON
THE PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS

part of the world is being drafted into
service in the wild hope that it will
help check its spread
For that purpose the Australian
prickly pear board has sent out men
to the arid regions of the Southwest
to collect specimens of the various
types Of insects that prey on the
prickly pear. Thus far, according to
Mr. Hitchcock, different species of the
mealy bugs or cochineal insects have
been found most successful. The in
sects are grown in cages at the ento-
biological station here and the most
vicious attackers of the cactus are
shipped to Australia. There the au-

occurred. In cities of from $4,000 to
100000 instead of in metropolitan
Cities but that the villages have been
expanding almost as rapidly as the
large metropolitan eenters.
''The census gathers at great cost a
mass Of facts about the residents of In
corporated villages, covering occupa-
ton, age, sex, nationality tenure Of
farm, home ownership, marital condi-
ton and school attendance. All this
material lies in the census files yir-
tuaily unused, because no provision
has ever been made for its analysis
and publication.
Through the courtesy of the CEN
sus bureau, the Institute Of Social and
Religious Research was able to make
. a special study of this unpublished ma
terial for III villages which were Sc
lected as representative of the agrieul-
tural villages Of the entire United
States, and which had a total popula-
tion of a quarter Of a million.
"A phase Of this study helps to ac-
count for both villageward and city
ward migration by showing that an un-
skilled worker who goes from the farm
to the village, or from either the farm
or the village to the city, improves
both his social and his economic posi-
ton.
"The census method of classifying
gainfully employed workers by the
great fields of industry in which they
are engaged, and by which Charles M.
Schwab and day laborer in his plant
would be classified together, does not
show this; but the institute organized
the data for the TT villages and for
purposes of comparison, the census
data for SO medium-size cities also
to get at differences in the economic
status of the people, by ascertaining
the number of employers and the NUM-
Der of employees, the number of clerks,
of skilled and of semi-skiIled work
ers, and Of laborers.

LIBRARY ANNIVERSARY.

celebrated it's SEVENTEEN anniversary
at the library building on Saturday
afternoon, November 10, with an
afternoon tea to all its friends.
Especially were the elder people in
terested in the readings from "The
Evening STAR" paper edited by the
girls sixty to seventy years ago.
Letters from our soldier boys in
1852 gave vivid glimpses of the
Civil war which history does not
furnish. The original poem, bring
ing in the names of all the first
members, was an echo of auld lang
syne to nearly all present. Many
remembered aunt Abby" Mary
Elinor and little Ruby Herrick, and
some recalled the days when Hattie
Rea played the organ and Dora
PhilbrOOk sang
The librarian reports several new
members and ten new books donated
to the library. A birthday cake,
with the usual decoration of candles,
was cut and, with fancy cakes and
cookies, tea or cocoa, served to all by
the officers of the association.
The building fund is growing
slowly but steadily, and it is hoped
before next spring to have sufficient
money for all the repairs it is
planned to make. All are greatly
encouraged by the cheering letters
from friends of long ago."
