Flower Mission Day
Flower Mission day was observ
ed by the Independence W. C. T.
U. at their regular meeting at the
Evangelical church Friday June
4 and was led by Mrs. Helen Kirk.
A very interesting program was
rendered with appropriate song
and scripture reading by Mrs.
Lena Moseman. Extracts from
Jennie Cassidy's life were read
and many brought flowers made
into dainty bouquets tied with
''the white ribbon" with scrip
ture verse cards attached. These
were carried by some of the little
children of the L. T. L. to the
i sick and aged.
Deep rooted in the human heart
is the love of flowers, voiceless
though they are, they have a sub
tle power to thrill all hearts. Be
loved by little children, cherish
ed by serious, deep-thinking men,
they are the only things in life
that do not change as we grow
older. Wherever the magic of
the letters W. C. T. U. is known,
the ninth of June is held in lov
ing remembrance as the birthday
of the gentle superintendent of
flower mission work, from whose
couch of invalidism have gone
forth influences to brighten and
bless the whole round world. It
is kept this year with a deeper
tenderness than ever before, for
she who has been its inspiration
and strength, now watches over
it from the Heavenly mansions.
What it meant to Jennie Cassiday
is best told in the words of her
sister: "Jennie Cassiday's heart
and soul were in her Flower Mis
sion work. In her own mind she
saw a great future for that branch
of Christian ministry. It was, to
her thought, one of the h'ghest,
as well as the most attainable
forms of missionary work. . She
saw its capacities as if they were
present already; and with her to
inspire, I feel sure a great army
was ready to march; and I know
they would have carried the citi
del by storm. Such a form ' of
ministry was peculiarly in har
mony with her own feelings and
her methods, for these were the
MORE COFFEE TALK
Dear Ladies:-
Nothing comes closer home to your husband than the
kind of coffee he drinks. Right here is where the problem of
taste comes in, and discriminating coffee drinkers are always
alert to get hold of a brand that has just the quality that goes
to the right spot.
But the problem does not end there, some brands are
one thing to-day and quite another tomorrow, and how could
you hope to please with such a brand.
It has always been my idea to get a coffee that pleases
and keeps the same quality day in and day out, year after year,
and my years of experience handling this coffee has proven
that we have it in Chase & Sanborn's Blends.
Don't forget the price twenty-five and thirty-five cents.
Once used, always used. We are getting boquets on this coffee
every day.
Yours very truly,
T. A. Riggs,

Sharpies' Tubular Cream Separator
The Tubular skims closer, under all conditions than any
"bucket bowl" machine; produces a perfectly smooth
frothless cream, which will yield more butter than it is
possible to get by any other machine. Other points
are: Runs with one-third less power than other sepa
rators, has low supply tank and can be cleaned in one to
three minutes, or one-tenth the time it takes on other
makes.
