rntertaim*d by Mr. and Mrs. Sco!t.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wolfo!k
Scott threw open the doors of their
beautiful new home to a few of
their friends last Saturday evening
in honor of the teachers. It was
their first "At Home" and proved a
brilliant success.
A green and white motif prevail
ed throughout the house. Masses
of fragrant white roses intermin
gled with feathery fern and honey
suckle made a beautiful floral set
ting for the guests.
The ladies in full evening dress
and the gentlemen in black suits
formed a pleasing picture.
The green and white color
scheme was emphasized by green
shaded candles that fill -d the sil
ver candelabras in the dining room.'
The buffet table was covered with
cluny over green silk and centered
by a bowl that overflowed with
white roses and ferns. Green and
white mints and salted nuts filled
the cut glass and silver bon bon
dishes, peppers filled wiih cream
cheese, chicken salad on lettuce
leaves, sandwiches and coffee
formed the menu.
The evening was most enjoyably
spent in contest games, but the
crowning feature was the propos
als written by the young ladies and
the refusals by the young men
which provoked much laughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Scott proved them
selves such a charming host and
hostess that the minutes flow by
with lightning like rapidity until
the electrician, who like time, waits
for no man, warned us of the late
ness oi the hour.

WATERED STOCK
(Copyrighted by Geo. Mathew Adairs)
Watered stock is a method of
making wealth swel!t)y soaktng it
like tapioca.
Watering stock is more profita
ble than water.ng deserts or gar
dens or cattle, just before delivery.
The orofits’of a gold brick peddler
rin a district that hasn’t time to!
read newspapers are triflng beside
the guardian of our national pros
perity. when he begins making two
shares of stock grow where only
one had been before.
Stock is not watered with a foun
tain but with a fountain pen. If
the proprietor of a railroad capital
ized at $50,000,000 looks over its
stock and decides that it is getting j
dry and season cracked, he moist
ens it up by issuing another fifty i
million dollars’ worth of stock, j
The money which is gotten from ;
the stock naturally belongs to the 1
holders of the old stock. Thus ev- j
ery share of stock h is swelled into i
two shares, and the general manag- j
er is ordered to take one section
hand out of each crew and extin
guish the switch 'amps an hour
earlier each morning, in order to
save enough money to pay the ex
tra dividends.
Stock can only be watered suc
cessfully in time of great prosperi
ty. when the company which is go- |
ing to get soaked is earning a great
deal of money. After the stock
has been watered times often be
come harder, and the railroads in
order to pay its dividends must in
crease its rates. Some people are
so wicked as to insist that this
should be done, but they are agita
tors ana have no respect for vested !
i wealth.
Watered stock has been a great
■ blessing to this country, increasing
J the value and magnificence of pri
vate residences in New York, and
enabling us to introduce the justly
celebrated American Duchess in
all the courts of Europe. In the
good old days, when the financial
rainfall was greater than it is now.
a man could start with a branch
line road worth $50,000, and by
judicially bonding and watering tin
same, could in time purchase a
trans-continental system before
the one locomotive of the original
road was sold for taxes. But a
cruel and ruthless pub'ic his ob
jected to paying higher rates every
time the president or a railroad
owner gets social ambitions, and it
looks very much as if in the bleak
henceforth the preferred and com
mon stock of our glorious republic
would have to thirst in vain.
Tent Meeting.
The Tent Meeting on the street
is doing fine. Big crowds are at
tending. The outlook is good for
an old time revival. More inter
est is being manifested at each ser
vice. The services are good es
peoially the 9 o'clock children-;
service.
The meeting will continue
, through Sunday, so let everybody
come. There will be an old time
love feast service Sunday at 1 1
o'clock. You are invited to come.

Neatness on the Tarm.
The farmer who is a farm owner
should take as much interest in
how his farm and premises look, as
! the farm-wife takes pride in her
dress and personal appearance. It
does not cost anything to keep the
farm "dressed up" ana looking well.
The premises can be made to look
neat and tidy and well-kept, and
reflect credit upon the owner with
out additional expense or trouble
1 do not mean that it does not
cost anything either in money or
effort to keep the farm looking
neat and trim and in order, but 1
do mean that it will not cost as
much as it will pay. It pays to j
keep the barn and burnings in good
repair. It is an absolute bps to
neglect it. It pays to keep the.
gates and hinges in order, and the
fences in good repair. They look
better and protect the crops. You
know the crops and the loose sto. k
can't both do well in the fie'd to
gather. It is better for both for
them to be separated.
It costs something b keep w-eds,
briers and bushes cut down along
the turn rows, but it will pay to co
it. Sow some good gross along the
the ditches. after leveling the
ground, and then keep it cut down
for hay. The hiy crop can be h-tr
vested at a small cost, and ir will
pay well for the trouble, and the
ditch will be kept in good order at
a profit. Treat the turn rows and
road sides in the same wav. or
plow up the waste space when the
crop is "laid by" and plant in peas.
It is perhaps best to break, harrow
and plant turn rows to peas just
after the last plowing. The turn
rows will make lots of peas ariu
hay. When you find the fence
rows growing up it is a cood idea
to run a couple or three furrows
alongside and turn the grass and
weeds under. Keep the space
clean.
When you are through cultivat
ing the crop, plant the fence rows
to peas You can gather the peas
or cut the vines for hay. The out
lay of labor is less in the long-run
than to let these waste spots grow i
up. and wait until the late summer I
and clean them off. and the crop'
l yield will more than pay for
look neat and tidy and well kept,
and the premises will look li; e a
thrifty farmer lives there, and you
will be referred to and talked about I
as a good farmer.
