gathered in the corner store on Satur
day night for a farewell surprise par
ty to Mr. and Mrs. Milford Jennison,
who left on Tuesday morning for their
home in Elgin, Ore. Progressive five
hundred was in order during the even
ing and Roy Carter won the first
prize while Mrs. Prestige received
the consolation, which upon being
opened proved to be a coiled snake
made of paper. It was so real an im
itation that it caused a panic among
the ladies. The older people enjoyed
old-fashioned square dances and were
as young as the youngest. Later on
the younger set demonstrated the
modern method in dancing. Lillian
Stendahl and Prof. Swails gave read
ings in their usual entertaining way:
Throughout the entire evening there
was one continual round of pleasure,
and it will long be remembered as a
most pleasant occasion. Mr. and Mrs.

beautiful silverware as a token of es
teem. Those present from out of town

farm. Lew Stendahl furnished the
rig and, by the time all were piled on,
4t comprised as iolly a crowd as ever
started forth. The sleighbells jingled
merrily, interspersed with the louder
tone of cow bells, and all went well un
til about two miles from town when,
either intentionally or accidentally,
that rack began to tip and a general
spilling was the result. No serious
mishaps occurred and amid much
shouting the crowd arrived in good
season. The evening was spent in
popping^corn and having a taffy pull,
the latter, as usual, making everyone
rather stuckup. One thing was plain

One Ohio farmer's plan is typical.
When his eldest son was 15 years old
he went to the bank and borrowed
$350 to buy a registered bull and two
registered heifers. In eight years
this investment has grown into a
pure-bred herd which has provided
schooling for three children, a com
fortable home for the family and a
permanent, prosperous business for
himself and the boys. I didn't have
to beg the youngsters to. stay on the

liking the cattle." Pure-breds do

Of course you want your children to have a better
chance than you hadevery good father does. You
want your daughters to marry well and you want
your sons to have enough capital and sufficient edu-
cation to begin their farming careers almost at the
point you have reached after years of toil.
Many a farmer has found in pure-breds the solution
for the two outstanding problemshow to keep the
children contented with farm life, and how to start
them out so that they are bound to achieve success.
