NEW BRANCH
OF HAUSFRAUEN
ed. New Pins Designed. Dem.
onstration from State Agricul-
tural Department for Benefit
of Farm Women of This Vi.
cinity.
The June meeting of Die Hausfaau-
Highlands! farm in Briothersvalley
Township at the home of Mrs.
and Miss Ir-
ma Hay. Mrs. Merrell Hay assisted in
entertaining. The meeting was very
creditably led by Mrs.” Walter M.
Boose, Secretary, of the society’ in the
absence of the President. As usual
the day was pleasureably and profita-
bly spent. Rev. Wiant of Berlin
‘was present and delivered a splendid
address. Music, both vocal and instru-
mental was rendered thru the day by
Miss Irma Hay, Miss May Walker and
Miss Ruth Musser. The July meeting
will be held at the home of Mrs. C. C.
Heckle, Riverside Farm Summit Town-
ship. '
On the afternoon of June 14th, a
number of. interested women met at
the farm home of Mrs. Chas. Knepp-
er in Brothersvalle) township and
finished organizing a society of Die
Hausfrauen in that locality. The list
toting which will be held at the
home of Mrs. Wiliam Gnagey,
Brothersvalley Township the second
Wednesday in July. As the women in
very progressive and active in good
movements, this branch of Die Haus-
frauen is expected to run abreast of
the first society in a short time.
At the next meeting the society
pins will be delivered. These pins
in their design, like everything else
the society has done, are strictly o-
riginal and were especially made for
Die Hausfrauen. They are being
made by Caldwell & Co., Jewelers, of
Philadelphia..
As many of our miembers sell
cream this’ summer, and do not un-
“derstand nor have a tester by which
to ascertain the percentage of cream
they are selling, ararngements ar be
ing made to have a demonstrator
from the Agricultural Department of
the state to instruct Die Hausfrauen
in this important matter. The cost
of feed is too high, and the endless
care of cows, utensils and the high
cost of labor too much for farmers
not to know every corner of their
business—just what they are sell-
ing, and just what they are making
in: cold cash. Get a good &cale in
your cow barn and weigh every cow's
ilk as it is milked, mark it down.

and money it costs to produce that

PASTOR SCORES
DANCING
Rev. J. C. Matteson, pastor of the
' Methodist church of this place, at the
last Sunday morning services, read
the rules of the discipline of the
church as is required of pastors of
that church to do once each year,
and he particularly dwelt upon the
rule which forbids dancing.
He read from different denomina-
tional religious journals of the pres-
ent month’s issues in which the cus-
tom of dancing was strongly banned.
One cof these was a Catrolie periodic-
al and another a Presbyterian.
{ Then, with the words “This near-
{ly breaks my heart,” Mr. Matteson
iread from one of the Meyersdale pa-
| pers an account of a dance given in

the patronesses were Methodists and
