town there is a man and his wife from
Oklahoma and a man from Ohio whose
wife is a Nebraskan. One meets peo
ple out here from all of the several
states.
On December 30th the Superintend
ent arranged with a supervising teach
er for horses for Mrs. McKim and me
to go on a trip through the mountains
east and north of here to the north
coast of this island (Luzon).
We stayed in a mountain barrio j
(small village) one night where they
had never seen a white woman. The
Superintendent sent a policeman as
our guide.
We got in about 4:30 in the after
noon after riding all day. The Barrio
Lieutennnt blew several blasts in his
horn made from the horn of a carabao.
All of the folks gathered at the house
where we were to stay for the night.
The first question was in regard to
our business. Since they could not
understand why a man would be inter-.
ested in rocks and the guide knew it,
we had to talk about school. By the
number present one would judge that
they could well have supplied the
necessary pupils for several.
Somewhere in the barrio they found
two chairs. We were seated in these
in one side of the house while the old
men of the council perched on long
bamboo benches on the wall; the old
women and kids squatted or layed or
the floor in another part of the room;
the young men and the elegible girls
had a couple of narrow benches outside
the house on the porch which invari
ably leads from the main part of the
house to the kitchen.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.
I l -- .
The Edward Steskal home was the
scene of a wonderous affair on Sunday
evening, March 17th, when a real ban
quet was served to more than thirty
immediate friends and neighbors in
honor of Mrs. Steskal’s birthday an
niversary. It being St. Patrick’s day
the arrangements were made and
carried through to a successful con
clusion by the committee in charge.
The appropriate colors of the day was
in evidence from all directions and
artistically displayed. This seems to
be an annual affair and we are always
on the alert whenever this day rolls
around; we are always assured of a
good old Irish stew. All present re
ported a splendid evening and felt
fully compensated for their effort
even though the roads were in bad
condition.
The evening was spent in games,
tricks and extemporized opinion on
various problems that is baffling the
rural element in every community to
day. Jack Murphy presided as toast
master and his sientillating wit in in
troducing those at the table was a
big factor in making the affair so suc
cessful and enjoyable. One of the
most energetic speakers noticed that
most of the newspapers prophets
claim we are going to have a bumper
crop this year. VVe are used to those
bald-headed statements and they ought
to hit it once out of four at least. We
have noticed in the past these stati
tions who blat from thpir fore sight
prove themselves poor stratigists ini
the end.
Several of the farmers are having
farm sales becoming inactive in that
capacity sacrificing their source of
revenue for a mere pittance and mov
ing to town, similar to the gay ninties
when the people stayed, knew a mile
was a mile, not a trifle to be obliter
ated by stepping on the gas. The joy.
ful orchestra of the present prosperity
may drownd out for a time the discord
but at the present time things, more
serious provide occasion for the ex
change of ideas among the farmers
who are determined to battle against;
odds.
The winter has been unusually se
vere and from the scarcity of grain
and forage much stock is suffering for
the lack of feed to pull them through
until grass.
The past three years of short crops
makes it hard sledding for the aver
age and a heavy burden on a great
many and many eyes will be focused
on Washington to see how the new
executive will handle the situation
next month.
About one o’clock an assortment of
sweets were pasted around that was
relished by the young folks while the
men waded into the cigars.
Those present from outside were
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Lynch and daughter
Velma, from Albion; Miss Becilla
Bruder. Atkinson; Leo and Helen
Steskal, O’Neill. Wm. Murphy.
O'Neill; Mr. and Mrs. John Steskal,
O’Neill. The program was closed by
a song from Miss Muriel Murphy en
titled, “The Hat Me Father Wore.”
Rong by Pearl Steskal, “Give An Hon
est Boy A Chance.”
All extended their best wishes to the
hostess for many returns of the day.
