The Invitations themselves
Inched to artlllchtl roses.
Tuesday evening a thronir of happy,
jolly girls, married and unmarried,
tilled the spacious residence of Mrs.
Albright with smiles, merriment and
novel beauty. The rooms were deco
rated with pink and white hearts to
express the sentimental nature of the
occasion. The variety, novelty and
beauty of the artificial (lowers in
which the gifts were concealed fur
nished occasion for delighted choruses
of "Ob's "
There were roses of all the hues
that natural roses wear; but they
were of extraordinary size, because
the hearts of Mime, were to contain
large pieces of linen folded into the
smallest bulk. One rather sinall rose
contained a letter from Mrs, Ml la
Cook Patrick, suggesting that her
present was to be found in a larger
hiding place.
The prl.u was given to the Taylor
sisters, who presented a spray of half
a dozen gigantic white roes, each of
which contained a handsome linen
present.
The luncheon was served in roses
and the rooms were lighted by wax
caudles llxed in rosebuds. Altogether
the ell'ect was rosy in the extreme
and should give a roseate hue and
fragrance to the future of Miss Williams,
One of the most mirthful amuse
ments of the evening was a contest to
see who could write out the most ap
propriate llrst grocery order of a
youthful housekeeper. Among the un
married girls there was a lamentable
ignorance of proportion. Mrs. Jennie
IMatt won llrst prize in this contest,
indicating that she Is a practical
housekeeper.
Miss Cook ami Miss Albright were
warmly applauded for the success of
their undertaking, and thylr married
friends cordially wished for them the
speediest and happiest of matrimonial
bonds.

just cause to feel proud of Mr. lletz

In J905 a branch experimental farm
was established at North Platte, Ne
braska, by the State Agricultural Col
lege for the main purpose of thorough
ly trying scientific soil culture. The
years or 1000, lt'07 aud 1008 sliow about
the normal rainfall of elghtecu Inches
each year. In IIXM the records of the
state on wheat yfelds were broken by
ithe, harvest of fifty-four bushels of
wheat per acre on this statiouin 1007
tlie records wore again broken by the
production of sixty-two bushels of
wheat per acre. 1009 was quite dry,
and only forty-live and one-half bush
els per acre were grown; 1U1U was still
more drouthy aud thirty-seven and
one-half bushels were grown. Do not
these records stand out boldly for
scientific soil culture in good years as
well as dry? Do they uot mean some
thing to you'.' The present, 10)1, Is
the record breaker for drouthy condi
tions, ami yet this rami will turu a
crop that when full conditions are ex
plained will bear still stronger evl
deuce in favor of scientific tillage.
Don't be so unwise as to say, "O, this
is only the result or a state experiment
station, for what one man can do, to
can another, if he knows how.
