Easter Bazaar
Tim AiI Sriotv nf the Methodist
church will hold an Easter bazaar at J of livestock to feed
Washington, March 10. Larger
stocks of corn, oats and barley were
held on farms March 1 this year than
on that date a year ago, while stocks
of wheat and rye were smaller.
The Department of Agriculture's
report Tuesday, in announcing the
total farm stocks, said the chief
causes of the increased holdings of
corn were the fairly large crop, the
unsatisfactory price, the large per
centage of grain that is of unmer
chantable quality, and the reduced
number of hogs and cattle on hand.
In region where corn production was
small last year on account of the
drought as in the southwest and
southwest and southeast, far stocks
of corn are low. j
Wheat stocks are considerably ;
smaller March 1 than the - five-year ;
average holdings. The 1925 wheat
crop was much the smallest since
1917, and the price has been high!
enough to attract wheat from the
farms. j
The farm stocks of oats have been i
augmented by the reluctance of
farmers to sell oats at the unsatis
factory prices that have prevailed
There is also a diminished number

Union P-T Meeting
A very interesting and enjoyable
, meeting of the Parent-Teachers' as
iKociation was held Thursday even
ing at the school house. The study
for the month was bn the training
of the child. The subject. "The Phy
sical Training of the Child" was

Child." presented by Mr. Lee Fans,
covered many splendid ideas and a
most excellent paper on "The Social
Training of the Child" was read by
Mrs. Fleming Robb.
I W. IJ. Banning gave a short talk
on "The Financial Trainingfi of the
Child."
In the near future the two remain
ing topics, the mental and the moral
training of the child will be studied.

very entertaining reading. The Fahr

From Wednesday's Daily
The finance committee of the Amer
ican Legion Community building havt
received a communication with a gift
hat has come to the building fund
hat is very much appreciated not
only for the material aid that it gives
he building but because of the sen
iment that has caused the two chil
dren making the contribution to give
their all in helping and especially as
the gift was unsolicited and given
vith the full measure of sacrifice on
the part of the children.
The donors were William Weten-
kamp, Jr., and sister, Frances, and
hty each gave $5 to the building and
express their sentiments in the com
munication that accompanied the
gift. ....
"During the world war our grand
mother, Mrs. Martha Wetenkamp,
purchased $5 worth of war saving
stamps for each of us and while we
did not understand at that time the
reason for the stamps or the sacri
fices that were made by the men in
service and all of the men and women
of the nation in the war, we are now
beginning to learn what part the
members of the American Legion
played in the great war and how
much they gave personally in life and
health in the cause of their country.
Our daddy has since sold the stamps
for us and we have the money, all
that we have, and this we are giving
to the Legion boys for their building
and hope that we will have the op
portunity of enjoying the use of this
fine building when it i3 finished and
as we grow up. We would like to give
more but this is all we have and give
it with the best wishes to the Legion
and their new building."

TO A FRIEND I NEVES HAVE SEEN
Oh friend of mine,
wherever you dwell,
Your Childhood Rhymes
have pleased me well.
Your form and faco,
I never may see
But your father heart,
you have shown to me;
And though I have passed
my three score and ten,
You have taken me back
to young manhood again.
Though it is March and
cloudy and dreare
Your cwect songs make me
feel like summer was here.
When you recalled lo my
mind those blessings of ours
The tears would fail
in copious showers
Then your humor would bring
the sunshine once more
And I would laugh and laugh
till my sides were sore.
Then I watched Marjorie
and Bud with you.
Go up childhood's pathway,
to them so new,
While my three little
girls, so full of glee,
Were toddling along
the same path with me.
My grandchildren now,
the dear little things.
Are making a harp with
with my old heart strings
There is Billy and
Junior and sweet Eloise,
I wish I could see them
now, to give them a squeeze.
D. J. REYNISH.
HE OUGHT TO KNOW
Guy Huston, who is one of the
country's largest dirt farmers as well
as being chairman of both Kansas
City and Southern Minnesota banks
and. president of both the New York
and Chicago joint stock land banks,
declares that "the bad spots in our
agricultural situation that have held
the farmer down since 1921, have
been definitely corrected by improve
ment of farm prices and restoration
of agricultural purchasing power."
He believes that by next summer
the farmers will have reached a posi
tion of financial security and a
movement to increase their holdings.
