Some Interesting Lectures '.’VEU Mania FaGE ONE by the Side of the Road.” In his address he asked the question, ‘‘Are we raising the boy to grow corn or are we raise corn for the boy?" I take it that the home life should be the end and all these after things the means to that end. We need more social life, need to come together more. He compared boys and girls on farms to clothespins in process of manufacture. They pour out of a machine like grain out of a threshing machine, but all along the line of process of making he noticed they were rough and had splinters hanging to them and before they come out a finished product they needed smoothing up and polishing. Our boys and girls are the finest in the land, but need education and good, social life in the community where they ' live. Make home look pleasant, a pleasant place to be, an attractive place and this will hold your boys. Don’t forget little things. A word of encouragement, an act of kindness, an adjusting of things to the liking of your boys will be valuable and not go unnoticed. Thursday Afternoon. Followng Mr. Kline Thursday afternoon, Mr. L. W. Oviatt discussed the subject of “Sugar Beets.” The address was drawn from several years' practical experience in growing beets on his Michigan farm and in the main, corroborated the instruction given the farmers by the agriculturists of the Holland-St. Louis Sugar company. Particular emphasis was given to early and deep ploughing, thorough fertilization, and preparation of a seed bed. The speaker demonstrated by comparative figures that under normal condition the beet crop was the most profitably of any that the fanner could grow. Mr. Oviatt is said by the management of the farmers' institute association here to be c of the best men the institute has r had here. In the words of the chairman, C. S. Mumma, “He is a Star.” FOR SALE. The well established clothing and men’s furnishing business of Peter Holthouse & Co. at Redkey, Ind. Must be sold on account of death of Mr. Holthouse.

The Euterpean club had an evening of more than the usual pleasure and profit Thursday evening when the study of “Folk Music” was taken up at the home of Miss Bertha Heller under the leadership of Mrs. F. M. Shirmeyer and Miss Bess Schrock, teacher of music in the city schools. The folk songs of the Indian, the Negro, and the Scandinavian were each con- ' sidered in turn, and the study exemplii fled by the rendition of several songs, ’ by four high school students, Dwight i Peterson, Glenn Neptune, Gladys Me- | Millen and Hope Hoffman. They gave several duets and quartets and they were finely rendered in illustration of the evening's study. Mrs. W. P. Shrock also sang and several instrumental numbers were given. Miss Faye Smith was a guest No definite plans have been made for the social evening for next week, and the next regular meeting will not be until two J weeks, with Miss Bess Oongleton. Today is the anniversary of the I birth of Charles Dickens, the beloved English novelist. He was born in 1812, and lived until 1870. Quite a pleasant time was spent Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Standiford in honor of Mrs. Standiford’s forty-fifth birthday anniversary; also in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pearce, who left yesterday looming for Kokomo, where a beautiful home is awaiting them. Mr. and Mrs. Pearce have many warm friends here aud although they will be missed much, all wish them success in their new home. I t A busy discussion of plans for the . season was held by thirty members of the Westminster Guild at the home of Misses Ireta and Mary Erwin Thurs- . day evening. A Martha Washington tea for the evening? of February 20th in the Presbyterian church parlors is looked forward to with interest, and the Guild will get busy selling tickets for this. Mrs. Gleiser’s cousin, from ( Cincinnati, Ohio, was a guest of the Guild. The Ruth Circle of the Christian ( church considered several plans last evening at the home of Miss Jessie Magley that will keep the circle very busy from now until after Easter. Three events, that will yield them money for the chuhch piano fund will be given between now and the first of | April. The Misses Mabel Weldy and Osee Armstrong will give a recital for | their benefit; a home talent play, “Little Buckshot,” will be given the last of March, under the direction of Miss Mabel Weldy; and a pre-Easter sale of fancy and useful articles will be held in connection with the Easter

flower sale of the Ladies’ Aid society. I.ast evening material for the making of aprons for sale was given out. Miss Cordula Weiland was a guest besides the circle members. On last Monday evening, while Charles Feasel was enjoying a quiet evening at home by the fire, be was suddenly greeted by about ninety-five of his friends and neighbors, who came with well-filled baskets to remind him of his forty-ninth birthday. A bounteous supper was spread from the baskets to which all did ample justice. Music was furnished by W. F. Meyer, William Fraaier, jr.; L. B. Campbell and Miss Iva Meyer, and a general t good time was had by all present. The guests departed late, wishing Mr. Feasel many more happy returns of the day. Those present were Calvin Teeter and family, Elmer Eley and family, Edward Kratzer and family, F. C. Wechter and family, William Ruby and family, Ed Miller and family, A. Morgan and family, Charles Samma and family, W. P. Merriman, A. M. Danner and family, William Roop and wife, Fred Roe and family, Mrs. N. Roe and family, W. F. Meyers and family, D. O. Roop and wife, L. B. Campbell and wife, Harry Carver and family, Mrs. May Galloway and son; the Misses Gladys Shrank, Cora Luginbill, Nora Tinkham, Mabel, Leona and Viola Dailey; Messrs. William Frazier, Giles Smelser, Frank Aumiller, John Smelser, Charles and Homer Malony, Chester Bryan, Stanton and Stanley Dailey and Fred Luginbill. The Baptist ladies who met with Mrs. T. W. Watts Thursday afteroon in the number of twenty-eight, were delighted to have with them a former president of the aid society— Mrs. Charles Allegar of Marion. A good old reunion was held, and after a period given over to the discussion of the work, refreshments were served. Two bob sleds filled with thirtytwo jolly pupils of the schools east of the city taught by the Misses Marie Daniels and Ruth Hammell arrived in the city early Thursday evening for a good time. They stopped first at tae Daniels home, where they played games, had pop-corn and candy, and were then taken to the Star theater. From there they went to the Hammell home, where more games were played and where they had lunch. The best time ever is reported. The Needles and Nods club ladies are very unselfish and when they meet they invite their husbands to go with them. Mrs. Frank Carroll provided a good time for them Wednesday evening. Contests were given, games played and a refreshing luncheon in three courses, provided. Prizes were won by Mrs. Ferd Peoples, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Blosser and Dallas Hunsicker. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Lachot royally entertained Thursday evening at i their home on Seventh street in honor of Miss Edith Huey of Orrville, who is the guest of Mias Lilah Lachot. Cards furnished the amusement for the evening after which a delicious i luncheon was served.

Although each section pursues its own definite order of work, the Evangelical Ladies’ Aid as a whole, delights to meet and get together and talk over the united work. One of these happy meetings was held Thursday with Mrs. E. B. Kern, with forty in attendance. The collection was $12.25. A cheery plan of theirs was the sending of flowers to the sick. o FOR SALE.
