Just This
If we're thoughtful just this mtnutc
In whate'er wo Bay and do;
If we put a purpose In It
That is honest thro' and thro
We shall gladden life and rIvo it
Grace to make it alt sublime;
For though life is long we live it
Just a minute at a time.
Just this minute we are going
Toward right or toward wrong;
Just this minute we are sowing
Seeds of sorrow or of song.
Just this minute we are thinking
On the ways that lead to God .
Or in idle dreams are sinking
To the level of he clod.
"Yesterday is gono; to-morrow
Never comes within our grasp;
Just this minute's joy or sorrow
That is all our hands may clasp.
Just this minute! Let us take it -
As a pearl of precious price
And with high endeavor make it
Fit to shine in paradise.

and the ladies coming along for a visit
with old friends of the pioneer days
It had been many years since they had
visited Beaver and particularly Mrs.
Martin who had not seen the friends
of "the good old days" for some fifteen
years. In the early days when they
were at home with their parents N. J.
Rhodes and wife at the ranch on the
Cimarron they were frequent visitors
at Beaver and leader of the young so-
cial set. Only few now remain but
all were more than delighted to see
"Clara" aa the is best known by the
"old bunch" and to talk over old
times together.

Minute
2ND DISTRICT MEETING FEDERATED
CLUBS
In company with Mrs. O. H. Cafky
and Mrs. E. L. Fickel the editor of
The Herald enjoyed the 2d District
Meeting Oklahoma Federation of Wo
men's Clubs at Weatherford last
week and the session throughout was
one of the most interesting that it has
been our privilege to attend. In the
first place the genuiness of the wel-
come extended by the club women and
the citizens of Weatherford could not
have been excelled for we arrived in
the midst of a terrific sandstorm but
the good folk were there to meet and
greet us and to make us comfortable
in their hospitable homes. It looked
good to see the famjllar faces of Rev.
L. L. Shaw and wife formerly of Bea-
ver and their ton Howard the latter
a Boy Scout who escorted us to our
temporary' homes and bones they
were in fact. The disagreeablenets of
the weather waa altogether lost sight
of in the warmth of tfc? hospitality ex-
tended on every hand anyway the
storm was short-lived and with the
opening of the first days' session Tues-
day April 11th and continuing through
out the following two days the weath
er was ideal.
An exhaustive rep rt of the proceed-
ings of the session cannot be given on
account of limited space but we do
wish to touch upon the high lights of
the convention all of which centered
around the home the child and the
which wbs the subiect of "Countv Co
operation" or the relation of the town
and country women and the need for
their co-operation and kindred interest
in the development of the home the
town and tho rural community. Some
! one has said and aptly that we are all
just "folk and people under the skin"
and truer words were never spoken.
The same sun shines above us. the fra-
grant flowers and green grass come to
greet us and in the end the Grim
Reaper is no respecter of persons in
the lovellng process which brings us
all to six feet of Mother Earth so why
j should we not unite in a great common
cause and give our best effort far a
common numanityj
Legislative matters were also dis-
cussed. The Women's Clubs are not
non-political out they are non-partisan
and while endorsing the "two great
. parties and urging the women to affili-
ate with cither one or the other they
are urging at tho same time un under-
standing ballot and a vote for the best
always regardless of political affili-
ation. Their vote will be 'recorded for
the interest of the home the women
and the children and no politician will
long Burvlye be he republican or dem-
ocrat who assails either.
Many many good things were said
concerning club work and the need for
such association together of women for
the social mental and mora uplift of
community life in general. We only
regret that all club women in fact all
women of Beaver county could not
have had tho opportunity to receive
inspiration and help as did those who
- I attended tho 2d district meeting.
In the selection of officers Beaver

sic. Mrs. Cafky most ably responded
to the address of welcome by the
mayor and also gave an inspiring
toast at the chamber of commerce
luncheon. She haa the exceptional
ability of saying just the right thing
at the right time and in the right way.
Her talks were enthusiastically receiv-
ed and the clubs of Beaver county
shone forth in the 2d district meeting
in the reflected Hght of her brilliance.
Woodward waa selected aa the next
meeting place.
MAUNBT-TIURSBAY CELEBRATE
BT SCOTTISH RITE CLUB
An entertainment given by the Scot
tish Rite Masons of Beaver county was
held at the K. P. Hall Thursday night
April 13 1922 to commemorate "The
Last Supper." The origin ofjthe beau
tiful ceremony of Maundy-Thursday is
not definitely known but seems prob-
able that it comes to us from the
ancient ceremonies of the Jewish Pass
over and the custom of breaking bread
on ceremonial occasions only among
friends. The following musical pro-
gram was given prior to the passing of
the unleavened bread:
Song by the Young Ladies Glee Club.
Reading Inn Carter.
Duet MIsscb Anna Hughes and Ves-
ta Carter.
