In spite of bad roads, the at- tendance was good, more than sixty people, young and old, being present and partaking of the excellent din- ner served by the ladies. The club now has a membership of 26 fam- ilies, Peter Lund, M. P. Sande and Alonzo Nellis having joined since the March meeting. Miss Jennie Oase, who teaches the Pony Lake school, entertained a few of her friends Thursday evening, last week. An enjoyable time is reported. Rev. 0. P. Grambo conducted ser- vices in the Lutheran church Good Friday. The attendance was not large. Why? Is the struggle for ma- teria] existence so hard here that we bhave no time for things spiritual? The first Wednesday in May the <lub will meet at the home of H. ‘Wesley Wright at two o’clock in the afternoon, sharp. Be sure to come early as the program will be given before the dinner is served at 5§ -o’clock. Miss Alice Jacobson, teacher of the Campbell Lake school, spent Easter with the home folks. 'D.

You know that you cannot afford to waste much seed with that old drill as, at the present price of seed, it will not take long to make up the price of a new drill. If you have no drill at all but sowing your seed broadcast, have you ever figured what your grain costs you and then also figure the difference in the yield you will receive in using a drill that sows vour seed at an even depth and also sows it evenly over your field? We carry the Van Brunt Drill in 10, 12 and 14 Single Discs. These single disc drills are also inter- changeable for a double disc or a sawing lumber on Saturday after having run their saw the greater part of the winter.

Mr. Farmer, the share that you will have in helping Uncle Sam and standing back of your country is by planting every acre of land that is in any way available for crops. The different states are beginning to realize this, and Wisconsin, for in- stance, is being organized in a sys- tematic manner to carry out the league of farmers and to have every one act as-a unit in providing the necessities that are sure to be de- manded of the farmers in this coun- in the very near future. Have you planned to put in every available acre that you can? If not, now is the time to get ready and do your planning, and while you are planning do not forget that you can- not depend on hired help as you could a few vears ago, so it is up to you to get the machinery that will cut your labor and put you in a posi- tion to get over as much land as pos- sible with what dependable help you have.
