I What Can be Done. , We have evidence every day that i this is the best country in the world ; that with little effort properly directed our lands will produce almost anything that we plant and produce it in abundance. Just to show what can be done it may be mentioned that I >r. W. Mrown. of No. 2 ' township, and one of the most pro- i gressive farmers of this connjy this 1 year gathered sixty bushels of oats | from one acre of ground and then , planted the. same acre of ground in corn and gathered ninety bushels of corn. I low much better if would be to plant a few acres and gather as , much grain as we gather from many acres.

The s, dues for active members are fifty cents a year, and for associate mem- (j bcrs, one dollar. ji The contributors to the "Civic sj Calendar" are asked to pay theii (>( monthly dues of ten cents, for the past four months, just as soon as possible. There was money enough a. in' the treasury to pay for the gar- |( bage cans, but not enough to pay j, freight. More cans will be ordered as soon as the condition of the treasury will permit. The association has (tj other plans in view towards civic jj betterment, but nothing can be done ^ until the treasury is replenished. The annual dues and the income Irom the ''Calendar" would be ample to meet the outlay required. Guarantee of Good Faith.
