The dancing school last Wednesday night was well attended. It was de cided to continue the school indefi nitely. When men, old and gray, and with one foot in the grave, whose minds should be occupied with thoughts of benevolence and humankindness in their last days, are found scheming to uuderhandodly injure their fellowmen, it is certainly strong evidence that in their better days, little of true manhood seldom found a home in such hearts.

They claimed to have been do -eived, and had they known" that the young people were going to dese crate the occasion by dancing they and thoir loved ones should not have given thoir help to the entertainment, This is of course Christianlike. De liver us irom sucn mocfiery I it was told those particular ones direct that there was to be no dance given m connection with the enter tainment as a means of raising funds, as is done in many places, and they were reminded of the fact again the night of the entertainment, but after the entertainment was over, if the young folks desired to play or dance, that was their own affair and none of the sohools.

Last year there was little done before April 1. This year, most of the seeding is done and even notatoes are mostly in the ground. We should have a big crop as the ground was in fine conidition to work. 1 It is generally said by farmers that there is no pay' in buying grain or high-priced feed for hogs. Here are some flgres that soera to disprove the savins. The writer recently aiueu j ejsi,t hogs, 9 months' old, that dressed 1655 nounds and brought $124, : xhey had consumed just about $00 worth of Durchasod feed. uiOBtly rolled barley, which was mixed with whey. Considering that two-thirds of the manurial value of feed is re turned to the land, when fed to ani mals, there surely was a fair profit. They were Duroc Red hogs, and were pushed from the start.

He bought new wagon and was trailing it out irom .Portland, with frequent proud and happy glances to the rear, but finally became absorbed in building air-casiles. He pictured himself as making a sensation on the streets of Logan with his new possession, re splendent with yellow paint and red stripes. He also thoueht of the im mense loads of produce he would haul on it, mayiiap to tafce a prize at the uowis auu jjars rair. Turning a sharp corner, he made a wide detour ana glanced back to see if it was com ing aronnd all right. Horrors! It had disappeared! He put whip to the gray team and when the proper con nections were again made, there was a crack in the atmosphere that took some time to close up. 0. D.

We'll go kahoot with you, Sam, and then we will both wear a feather in our cap. In response to the remarks irom onr worthy colleague in regard to the dancing school, we will say that we are not mistaken, and we will give you a few reasons for the statemeut. X irst, near whore we were born ana raised there were four different churches, and each respective family within reach,, of , those churches be longed to one or the other, by which each member of ,, those families were taught to respect their fellow being, their country and their Gotj. While we somewhat differ with tile princi ples of onr local church, that is no reason why we should criticize the same. Second, the young men are convinced that they must attend danc ing school in order to get to danoe in private assemblies, because the giilf re getting so, stuck up they will not dance with anyone who does not at tend, so they will pnngle up their last hard-earned half dollar and give to him who neither spins nor weaves, despite their needs at home. We may as' well try to raise onions in a patch of weeds as to raise boys and girls 011 a dancing floor. You admit that 6ow of the young folks may act the hood lum going home from the ball room, I Do they learn that in church? We del not altogether critioize dancing, bntl we do retrain irom giving up onr coin when we are so badly ii need! of it at home. In regard to your de fense of the management, we will i that he has at one time decoyed a maul in the notion to play for him, despite! excuses by the latter that he was not I in practice, and after the ball tb management took the liberty to criti cize the musician. Is there any jus tice in that? Your argument remind.'! us of the following rhyme : Wie dor acker so die ruibchen, Wie der vater so die buibchen, Wie die mutter so die toecher, ' Gewoelich nocha bis, 1 schlechter.
