NO. 84 plate ft 1 Golden Rod Study Club Holds Meeting Club Has Program Pertaining Books With Several Very En tertaining Talks Given to The Golden Rod Study club met cn Thursday afternoon with Mrs W. T. Richardson at Mynard. Al though the roads were had, a goodly number of the members attended lH:ring the business meeting the committer on having receipt books minted for sale, was instructed to investigate the matter further, some new ideas having been brought to litht since the FUgpestion was laid aside at the last meeting. The send ing of flowers in case of a death among the relatives of the members was discussed and the chairman of the flower committee expressed a wish for a more explicit rule than the one which they had now. Ac cordingly the president. Mrs. Wra Minford. appointed a committee to frame a new rule for that purpose. The subject of the lesson for the afternoon was "The Estate of Chil dren in the Country of Bookland. "Mrs. Guy White and Mrs. Roy Cole wre the leaders. Mrs. White began the program by reading a part of the state extension bulletin on this subject and then she introduced Miss Olive Jones, city librarian from Plattsmouth, who from her wide ex perience in the likes and dislikes of little children in regard to books, gave a talk that was very much ap preciated by the listeners. Among the ideas which she presented were thee, that one of the best gifts that parents can give a child is not books but the reading habit; that since a child was by nature an imitator, parents should be careful about their own reading; that, while many par ents objected to fairy tales, they were not harmful since they were imag ination which is a part of life: that every home should have the Mother Goose Rhymes, the smaller-size edi tion being the best because children love the little books: that boys na turally loved backs of adrenture. So care must be taken to provide them I with the better class of this kind of books: that girls liked sentimental books best so care must be taken to give them only books containing wholesome sentiments. Miss Jones had brought a number of childrens books and magazines which were very interesting. As the members had decided that they would like to know more about conducting their meetings accord ing to parliamentary laws, Mrs. E. H. Spangler had been appointed to instruct them in these laws, which she now proceeded to do. The chair man of the music committee an nounced that she had bought a rec ord containing this month's listen ing number but owing to the change in the place of meeting because the roads were bad, the phonograph was missing so she told us about this con, position and some incidents In the life of the composer, Rubinstein. The secretary had forgotten to bring the song leaflets containing "Home Swe-t Home." so Mrs. Cole gave a brief sketch of the author's life, men tioning the fact that, like bo many of our early songwriters, he died in J poverty, ana promised to have the music at some future meeting. Af ter a delicious lunch served by Mrs. Richardson and Mr3. C. L. Wiles, the meeting adjourned. SHIPS WALNUT LOGS From Monday's Dally This locality where there is a great deal of the old time forests left among the hills along the river, is being constantly drawn upon to supply walnut wood to the market and in the past two or three weeks there has been a great deal of the walnut logs taken out. A great pile of the logs has been accumulated in the local Burlington yards and which is awaiting shipment to the eastern markets where they will be used in furniture manufactury and other uses where a wood of the strength of the walnut is necessary. The rapidity with which the walnut trees of this section have been cut in the past few years, however, will soon mean the extinction of this one time plentiful wood in this part of the state unless replanting is done to conserve for the future the wal nut treeB. TAKES UP NEW POSITION Tram Monday Dalty LaVern Glaze, well known young man of this city, is leaving Tuesday for Columbus, Nebraska, where he goes to take up a position there with the Y. M. C. A. and will have charge of the boy's class in the physical training department of the "Y."
