Ninth District Farm
ers Club Meets
Addressed BY Former Secre-
tary Of Agriculture OF
Penn. McSparren


An inspiring meeting of The Ninth
District Farmers Club was held at
the home OF MIR. and Mrs. Howard
r Brown on Wednesday, March 2,
1888
The meeting was called to order
Inv President, w. II. Little. The first
number on the program was song
by the entire club, Loves Old Sweet
Song" Then came the roll call, an
swered by each member with a joke
This was followed by reading of the
minutes. Then came reoort on ex-
periments conducted by different
members OF the club. Mr.. Brown
then read an essay written thirty
years ago by his uncle, Amos Brown,
and read by him to The Ninth Dis
trict Farmers Club in the same
house in which Mr. and Mrs. Brown
now live.
A contest, guessing the number OF
grains of corn in a jar was the next
feature of the program. Mrs G. IL.
Norris won the prize.
Clippings of special interest were
then read by Mrs. Morris and Mrs. j..
b. Fassitt. The hostess then announc-
ed dinner Rev. White asked the
blessing. and bountiful and delici-
Gus meal was enjoyed.
The afternco en- session opened with
a song, Wearing the Green" by the
club. Following this, was report Of
the Inspection Committee by G. H.
Morris.
The address of the day was then
delivered by the Honorable John Nc
Sparren. former Secretary of Agri-
culture of the State CT Pennsylvania
The theme of his address was the
situation confronting the farmers of
today.
He stressed that the ideas of do
ing away with surplus is not sound
The thing to avoid is allowing the
surplus to set the price.
Farmers have not been active
enough in politics. They have taken
passive stand.
The blessings of God have not
been upon the U. S. the last Few
years. They have been withdrawn.
He spoke of punishments which have
been sent upon us in the form OF
floods, droughts, sandstorms, fires,
explosions, earth quakes, and other
disasters. time after time.
Things that God won't stand for
are going on all over our country all
the time. One great wrong we have
committed was allowing the 18th
Amendment to go out of the Con-
stitution.
Farmers must understand that
their problems are up for their own
solution, and will not be solved as
long as they leave them in the hands
of the politicians.
The closing number was two solos
sung by Mrs. ]. B. Fassitt. This
being the 27th Wedding Anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, she chose
the following numbers which were
enjoyed by all: 20, Promise Me-"
and II Love You Truly"
The meeting then adjourned to
meet in April with Mr.. and Mrs. j.
E. Crothers.

Etiquette
and
Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beecknldn

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
have been a widow for three
months, and was married less
than four years. Previously I
was a widow 10 years. How long
should wear HACK, and should
I weal my Wedding ring? My
husband did not like me to wear
dark clothes. I used to think
one should wear black for a
husband, but certainly find
others who do not think as I do.
WIDOW.
A widow usually wears black
for a year. But nowadays she
usually doesn't wear the crepe
veil except on the day of the
funeral. But this question of
low long to wear mourning has
become such a personal one
that one really must decide for
oneself what is preferable. How.
ever, we shouldn't do anything
that will cause unfavorable COM
ment or make u; conspicuouSly
cut of step with convention.
And a widow does wear her
wedding ring. . at least until
she decides to marry again.

Announcement
Dear Mrs. Beeckn1an:
Is it considered correct to
send wedding announcements
after being married approx.
mately a year? READER.
Customarily formal wedding
announcements are not sent out
when so long a time has elapsed
between the marriage and the
announcement. Usually. after
50 long a time, the coupe tell
first their relatives and close
friends, then write to relatives
and friends who live too far
away to be told verbally. This
informal way of making this be-
lated announcement seems more
In keeping with the situation.

what you men think of girls you

Stop Watching
Others
Dear Evelyn: Papa Antheil
thinks you ought to stop watch.
ing girls who make you so wild
with bitterness and jealousy. 1t
isn't good for you. For one girl
who uses her power Of it to
lure the men into emptyjng
their pockets for her benefit,
there are thousands Of girls like
yourself who are honest and
little Sweethearts to the boys.
For a while the lying little mink
gets away with it. The boys are
fatuous over her and fall over
each other to gain her favor.
But it is all so brief an inter-
lude of popularity.
Sure, a lot Of us do make
fools of ourselves over her. We
are filled with curiosity as to
why the other boys are pursuing
her and try to outdo them. But
don't think we are not aware
she is lying and cheating. We
like the game for a while as it
does something to our blood,
but we tire of the game and the
gal must look for more fodder.
IF that type gets married,
she usually uses her wiles to get
4 divorce when she finds a bet
ter prospect.
Do Like
The Men
So Evelyn, my jealous little
friend, stop watching the wicked
INSCRIPTIONS girls and their sue
ceSses. Do like the men. Men
turn their backs on their jeal-
ousies of other philandering
men. They rarely ever give
them much thought outside of
contempt for such mems insin-
cerity with the women. They
don't grieve over the success of
these boys, not at all. Nor do
they watch them and grow Bit
ter because they can't use such
wileS.
They go about their business
and date the girls who are not
smitten by the popular male
idol with the feet of mud. They
don't even scratch and meow.
They just let it pass. Try it,
Evelyn. and you will have more
