A majority of those who were the initial workers in this cause, are not church members neither are they morally bad. They realized the dire need of our young boys and girls and they are going to work for their betterment. Now we jure anxious to see the stand the church, the Endeavor Society and the Aid Society take in the movement. Theyre praying, preaching and working for a betterment of conditions of the Soul and we wonder if they will put their shoulder to the wheel and work for better educational facilities bo that our boys and girls may receive proper instruction, that they may be better able to battle with the social and moral crises that will confront them in a very few years. It is up to the Church and these other societies that are working for a betterment of mankind to take a hand in the question that concerns ever home in this township.

Moisture of a substantial nature began falling in Centerville and adjoining townships Monday of last week. With a little warmer weather follow-ing, good cheer and hopefulness may permeate the dispositions of many of our farmers who were beginiDg to look down their noses. There is not much doubt but that if anything like the proper amount of rainfall and warm growing weather prevails this spring, that Eastern Kansas will register a bumper crop of corn. Seld- Jm, has the farming ground been in itch, a seasonable shape as this year and it is no wonder ot course that everyone interested wants to see good growing weather conditions. Then too, it must well nigh be a necessity this year, for from a judge of business condition some are pretty close to the end of their rope, and there mudt and will be a change from past seasons, for the better Kansas may be depended on.
