"MOTHER" God lent an angel to this earth, she came in lowly guise: She was not even beautiful to our unseeing eyes She swept and dusted, cooked and darned For all the heedless throng, and ever as she worked She hummed a tuneless little song! She always had a healing word for people in distress, And tnougn her nanus were orn and rought, their touch was a j caress At last her hair grew thin and gray, her work took over long; And often times we did not hear that tuneless little song. God lent his angels to this earth to ease its frequent strain But when he saw how tired she grew. He took her home again. Wr missed her almost everywhere; For with our open eyes We knew at last just who she was An angel in disguise. Contributed. TELES TO AID HUSBAND Eau Claire. Wis.

Banning of Depart- 87 years experience and records for j rainfall, we have had out of this i long period only 4 severe drouth years ; so our chances for a normal season are most favorable. j The world is millions of years old ; and we have plenty of proof that changes in weather come about slow- j ly even though they may fluctuate to extremes, such fluctuations are Mildred Burke ( hcronlv a quiver in a long line. The: i " I I normal season is one to count on , 'and should be the guide to shape our j course. We have a right to expect j la good year in 19U7. So let us take ! .heart and bv all means lok to the; i j j future with assured hope. ! It is highly important that we dwellers in the Great Plains keep re- cords of our rainfall and use the data as a guide to our farming methods and practices. Had we so conducted our farming we would have been far j loss i j in the dust bowl would not exist.: j Nebraska rainfall over a long period; of years can be Judged by its altitude. The higher we go the less the pre-; cipitatiou and that iu the main means' that as we travel west from tne the northwest! southwest corner to corner the rainfall diminishes. This j on an average runs from 31 to 16 inches precipitation and we are f or-i tunate in having it come during the ; summer growing months of May,! June and July. June being the wet test. Now let us look at the bright side this subject. During the past S7 years we have had 4 abnormally wet j seasons and we have an equal chance ! to get one of these. How well the j dry sub soil is prepared to absorb this excess moisture and what a won derful response we could expect from the stored plant food that is avail able, for let it be known that drouth years store up plant food. With sur plus used up and prices for farm products at a high level a bumper rron w ould brine: the whole state into prosperity. Because we chanced to have two severe drouths during the past three years it nas caused a great narcsnii) and fearful loss and because they came during a world wide business denression made it doubly hard to endure. On the other hand we must j another interesting session last Sun remember that these two drouth j jay evening, meeting at the home years came at the end of a 40 year I ? f Mx. and Mrs. Walter Meicken period of fairly normal rainfall and : haupt. After the usual spirited card we have a right to expect 29 years now of good or normal conditions.
