SECRETARY’S REPORT OF THE FARMERS’ INSTITUTE.

Continued from Page One.

many advantages and many dangers In dur way. “The Daughter’s Share” was next discussed by Mrs. Kline. She thought the daughter should be taught what to be afraid of and what not to be afraid of, but should be done in such a way that it would not excite the curiosity in her nature to know the things for herself, that have been pointed out to her as dangerous. She said if the daughter was a good piano player and could not flop a pan cake there must be something wrong with ma. It w’as her opinion that a girl should be required to prepare at least one dish every day for the table. Should mend her own clothes and learn to be an independent factor. No girl should have everything she wanted and pointed out a queen’s daughter who was found playing with a rag doll because she said she had everything else she wanted, in other words the desire to acquire a certain thing is of more pleasure than if it comes to her unsought. Miss Lizzie Lane read a paper “Why We Have a Girls’ Club.” This paper was very closely allied with the previous talk of Mrs. Kline. She point out the social, ethical and educational advantage of girls’ clubs for broadening the girl’s mind,. Mrs. Wm. Day gave an excellent paper on what does it mean to be a good housekeeper,and home maker. No Jasper county farmers’ institute is ■ ever complete without a speech from Barney Comer. This time it was “Future Price of Farm Products.”

He spoke of the great advantages the farmers’ boys and girls enjoy now over the boys and girls of twenty-five years ago. We are now better taken care of in everyway. Better rigs to ride in, better roads to travel on, better houses to live in. Rural delivery at our doors with daily newspapers from the city with news from all the world. How different from years ago when corn sold at 15 cents per bushel and hogs at 3 cents per pound. The point ''was that the corn belt and the world is limited to the Argentine Republic and a few states in the United States, and a committee was once sent to Europe to teach the people how to cook and eat corn bread, corn pone, corn cakes and corn mush, and now all Europe eats corn and our people eat corn and our population is increasing at the rate of 1,000,000 each year.

Corn will increase in price per bushel, and land that will produce corn will advance in price till it will sell for $250 per acre. So, if you have corn land, hold to it. If you have none, buy some before March Ist. Raise corn, for it will always be worth cash, and raise pork, for in ten years from now meat will be so high that we will not eat it every meal. The evening session was very good. Mrs. Eib read a very interesting paper on social duties. Mrs. Eib is quite a leader in her neighborhood in Sunday school work as tvell as social affairs, and an article from her pen on this subject could rfbt fail to be of interest to the audience.

The author of Hoosier Hunting Grounds was on deck with his comic papers and as his company or' companions in arms deserted him on the eve of the battle, Johnnie was forced to sing two or three quartettes all alone. But he was equal to the occasion and filled the house with mirth and meriment. Long live Bill Bat. Mr. Thompson gave one of the best talks ever delivered at a farmers’ institute. Subject, “Position of the Farmer Among Men.” Space will not admit of going into detail on this very valuable talks. Committee on resolutions gave out the following: All children excused from school should be required to attend the Farmers’ Institute and teachers report names of attendance. We recommend that the County Council be authorized to appropriate money for the boys’ and girls’ clubs in connection with the Farmers’ Institute. We recommend that the treasurer make a report of all money paid out and received. WM. AUGSPURGER, JOHN W. NORMAN, ABNER C. PANCOAST, Committee. Committee on nominations were: D. H. Yeoman, A. J. Bellows and A. G. W. Farmer. President, Samuel Sparling; Secretary, Marion I. Adams; Treasurer, John W. Lesh. Ladles’ Auxiliary: President, Mrs. Burton; Secretary, Mrs. Comer; Treasurer, Mrs. M. I. Adams.

ounces. Mix, shake well and apply to the face night and morning, allowing it to remain at least ten minutes, the longer the quicker results you will have. In extreme cases apply four or five times daily. The filmy powder deposits on the face may be wiped off after a reasonable time. Do not use soap, instead wash the face with oat meal anti-a little powdered orris root tied up in a cheese cloth bag, and no matter how bad your face- is, or what the cause may have been, this will surely cure It. This prescription is perfectly harmless and can be used on the most delicate skin.

Multiple Crow Killing Record Claimed by Chauncy Wood.

Here is a unique record: Chauncy Wood, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Wood, killed 18 crows at one shot the other day, and believes his record has never been excelled in Jasper county. If others can beat it we shall be pleased to hear from them. Chauncey explains the manner in which he killed so many at one shot. They had butchered hogs and some of the offal was dumped back of the barn. t The crows were soon making a feast on it and Chauncy slipped into the barn and emptied one barrel into tXe bunch. An inventory showed that 18 had fallen at the ene shot. < Boys, buy your girl a chafing dish for "Xmas at RhOadqs' hardware store.

Thos. C. Eastburn, brother of Mrs. Fred Waymire, of Barkley township, died last Friday at his home in Gilboa township, Benton county, and his funeral was held last Monday, being attended by Mr. Waymire and two children.

Mrs. Waymire, mother of the deceased, died on Oct. 17th and was buried Oct. 20th of the present year. Deceased was also married on Oct. 17, 1891, a queer coincident of dates./ Mr. Eastburn was born and raised in,.Benton county and was a prominent’jfarmer and one of the most substantial* men in that county. He leaveSa wife and three children, the oldest 15 years and also one adopted son, 10 years of age. Some two years ago Mr. Eastburn bought 500 acres of land in Barkley township, this county. A peculiarity of the deaths as above recorded was the fact that Rev. Goodwin, a United Brethren minister of Montmorenci, performed all the funeral services and also officiated at the marriage of the deceased.

Gertrude, 12 years of age, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. J. Kannal, has been suffering since Tuesday of last week with-what seems to be a mild attack of infantile paralysis, affecting her left arm and right leg. The local physician called into consultation one o( the leading specialists on nerve disorders in the country Sunday, and it was decided that nothing more could be done for the little girl than could be accomplished at home. He stated that the disorder is caused by a germ that works in the spine and that the x result is not necessarily permanent, but that with careful treatment full recovery sometimes results. Gertrude has always been in-perfect health, an unusually vigorous child. ' The affliction is felt keenly by the* entire community who trust that the little girl will be restored to perfect health. For your Christmas dinner: Grapes, celery, sweet potatoes, apples, cranberries, all kinds of fresh vegetables. You get the best goods and the lowest prices.

Explorer Cook Branded Fraud By Copenhagen Scientists.

Dr. Frederick A. Cook, a few weeks ago heralded as the hero of the age, because of his claim at having discovered the north pole, is now pronounced a fraud by the special committee of scientists appointed by the University of Copenhagen to investigate his proofs to the discovery pf the north pole. They shattered his claims completely and contemptously pronounced him a faker. Cook is in hiding, which the committee says is the sign of a guilty conscience. Knud Rasmussen, who had been one of Cook’s most faithful friends, was a member of the committee and endorsed the findings. Possibly Cook believes that’ “it was better to have claimed and lost than never to have claimed at all." He made a short but money making lecture tour.
