NEW YEAR ON THE FARM
And end, and a beginning! Here we
sum
The intangible profits of a year
now gone;
We make our fireside plans for days
to come,
We store new strength and vigor to
go on
Into a year that will require our
best,
And so we make our plans and
take our rest.
The land lies idle the year’s yielding
past,
Waiting the snow’s clean moisture,
waiting the spring,
Ready to give itself again at last
With every furrow’s gracious of
fering.
The New Year is a time for land
and men
To pause and then turn hopefully
again
To days ahead, to long hills there
to climb —
This is a calm, regenerating time.
—Grace Noll Crowell.

THE GROOM GETS A BREAK
The Cuthbert Leader relates a
wedding which took place in Au
gusta, Wis., in which the bride
groom was featured instead of the
bride. It is as follows:
“Clarence (Tudy) Rogers, son of
Mr. and Mrs. George Rogers, of
Osseo, became the husband of Miss
Margaret Gilbertson, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Gilbertson, of
Augusta, in a beautiful ring cere
mony Sunday afternoon, June 22,
before a justice of peace at Wau
kon, lowa.
“Blushing prettily, he replied to
the questions of the justice in low
but firm tones, never indicating that
he noted the omission of the ‘obey’
question in the bride’s answer.
“He was attractively attired in a
three-piece suit of blaack pin stripe
woolen material, consisting of coat,
vest and pants. The coat was charm
ingly festooned with a white flower
in the left buttonhole.
“The vest was sleeveless, closed in
front and gracefully fashioned with
pockets. It was held together at
the back with a strap and buckle.
“His pants were neatly pressed
for the occasion and he wore them
with an air as if he little expected
it would be the last time he ‘wore
the pants’ in that family as the
familiar expression goes.
“Hose and necktie added just the
right dash of color to complement
the effect. Shoes were of genuine
leather, laced with strings of the
same color, giving a chic effect.”—
