( Crowded out latt ; week ) J wonder if our editor would give the Cherry county women a correspondence column to swap experiences and exchange ideas and recipes ? Many of us live far from neighbors and I believe we all would get much pleasure and benefit from a weekly visit on pa- pei * . [ Would be pleased to do so. ED. | As so many little children die it seems to me it would be timely to have a little talk on the proper care and food for a child up to three years old. Will mothers who keep their children well please write ? Miss Kortz , accompanied by Mrs. Walcott visited the schools in eastern Cherry county last week. E. L. Hutchison and wife start ed overland for Buffalo county Monday. Mrs. Hutchison will remain at liavenna for medical treatment. Mr. Hutchison took a bunch of horses with him to sell , and was accompanied by John and Harry Roberts. Misses Elizabeth and Anna Barth , evangelistic workers , arc again at Sparks. About a year ago they took part in revival services at Sparks and some 65 young people were converted. As but little ef fort was made by the church to instruct or care for these young men and women none of them came forward in baptism. If the shep herd don't feed the Iambs they are apt to wander away. These sis ters are a power in song , in pray er , in exhortation and have a won derful influence over the young. THEY WERE LOST. On a fair autumn morn On business intent , A matron and maid From Valentine went. While chattinjr so guilv The lime quickly passed , But the circling -and hills Were noted at last. It is certainly time We turned to tne river , But that road wandered on , And they knew with a shiver As they followed its windings , That north , south , east or west Had quite vanished away , And we're lost they confessed. They turned , and retracing' Weary miles without end , Till the low sinking bun Brought the home of a friend. Dust } ' and dinnerless The } ' found at this retreat , With sighs of contentment , There was something to eat. Their jraunt ponies whinnied Their very jreat pleasure At the rattle of corn In the half bushel measure. Dry measure's our liking They agreed with much noise. We're weary , so weary Of old Avoirdupois. EAGLE. Contest Notice. U. S. Land Office , lirokcn I5ow.
