Mrs. Frantz remained in Texas three years and nine, months longer ill order to sell our home or rather to give it away, before she -ouid come on, so I had a good long time by myself, and to board out and almost ruiq my health With the kind of food that I get at one place. This is the best country that I have ever been in fo r health and I like it fine, although I have had my ups and lowns in the way of health, and not a well man today by any means, yet as I have said 1 work hard and accom­ plish more per day than the young ■nan- , This valley surely is fine and pro­ duces anything that, man wants to grow, except sweet potatoes, which do not amount to much'here. In farm crops wonderful results are obtained, and you will' he surprised to know what we do, grow and what produc­ tions per here are, but more o f this at another time, if you are interested in knowing.

What we need is some manufac­ turing industries, to afford labor the year round. We have a few plants that ate doing a good husiness, but need more for the good o f the city and Valley. Well I will not tell you too much at this time, but do. better at some future date. Mrs. Frantz is still teaching music and dress making also. I have been in the valley 17 years and I do not care to leave it for any other section that I know of.’ The climate suits me fine, labor conditions are not what I would’ like to see, and I am depending on labor altogether for a living, but I think it is pretty-much the same the world over. We are having a long seige of winter weather, beginning the day before Christmas, when we had our first snow, 31^ 'inches, and it has been snowhig every few days since,, at this date we have 13 inches on the level, 7 feet in tbe mountains, and a temperature rang­ ing from zero to 18 and 20 below, up and down the valley* We had.it 7 below here in the city. It was zero this morning and at 1 F« M. 18 above. Our cold Weather is dry making it more desirable than if it was wet, and we do not mind a dry cold so much either.

Well, I will stop nOW by saying that wc shall be pleased to hear from you, if you care to write, and I will answer and tell you more o f what the possibilities and productions of the valley are. Of course I am always interested in knowing what is being done in Ohio and how the people are doing, Mrs. Frantz joins in sending best wishes and kind regards to both of you, also to your mother, if living, Soliciting your reply, I am Very truly, I, H.

OR.M'CHESNEV DELIGHTSCLUB INUBfiANA The following glowing account o f an address reported by the Urban* Citizen, and delivered by Dr* W, R. McChesney, will be interesting to local people: “ Comparisons are not only odious, ■ but as a rule unnecessary. The state­ ment of a fact is ever interesting! On Saturday afternoon Dr. W. R* Mc- Chesr.ey, president of Cedarville Col­ lege, Cedarville, gave the most scholarly address ever delivered, be­ fore the members of the Women’s Literary club, “ The large assembly room,: in, the parish house, on North Kenton street, where the club holds its: meetings on alternate Saturday afternoons during- each month, was filled for this, meet­ ing and the conclusion there was lot a dissenting vojee, “The literature section was in Yharge of this Dr. McChesney’s. first appearance before the Urbana audi­ ence and the wish was expressed on every'hand that he come again next year. ■■ .'■.■..■■■'■ . ■ “ Possessing' a low, well modulated voice, the doctor spoke in easy, eloquent fashion, as he presented' to the dub the subject assigned-him tor the afternoon “The Ethics and J?hiIo- •ophy. of British Literature in the ’ *ast Three Centuries.” “The task was a difficult one, the subject covering a period o f three hundred and sixty some years, but ’tbe picture was so perfectly drawn by the speaker that the address might have been delivered with equal results ibe- fore a class in Harvard or a class-in any well regulated High School. “What are ethics and philosophy?” :he speaker asked. “ Ethics,' set up the laws for every day." '^Philosophy is the honest, (at­ tempt to find out the secret of all things that are.” “Starting in the year 1603, in the ■; days of the House .o f Hanover,‘the Yorks, the Lancasters and the StU- ,vrts, the speaker took his audience step- hy step, through the ' various '“reigns" and “ ages” up to the HtS&A- tute of the present day, phpwing jqow , the physical! mental moral or pleas­ ure-loving atmosphere affected - the literature .of its age or day and,? in contrast, what effect, the literature; of \ the day had upon the life of the day. “A ’glowing tribute Was paid to the loyalty of the Britisher to his soverign and a beautiful tribute to that beloved queen of the British Empire “Queen Victoria” ' who said that “ the Bible, the greatest book that has ever been written, had made England-so:greht.” “ In. the Puritan Age 1558-—, With expansion as the keynote were Spen­ cer, Shakespeare, Francis Bacon. Here the notation was made that in the history of our oVm country the. best motives came from the Pilgrims, pure of mind and:heart and intent of purpose, not from the Puritans.. “John Mfiton, in the opinion of the speaker, was an outstanding writer of the .Puritan Age. * “Next, in the Age of the Restora­ tion, 1680-1740, Addison, Pope, Dry- Jen,Bte<le, the literature dealing with ihurch'ahd state* “ 1740*1880, Hume and6Berkley, a •revival in church* "1780-1837, the Romantic Age.

"The meeting opened in the usual freddon, the club president, Mrs. Joseph Murphy tapping for order promptly at two-thirty o’clock, Mrs* Ross Neese acting as secretary tor Miss Minnie Deuel, who is making an * tended visit in Chicago. "Two verses of America were sung with Miss Virginia Duffey at the piano and after a brief business session, the meeting was turned over to the chairman, of the Literature sec­ tion, who announced her program. "Miss Duffey gave a brilliant piano number, quite surpassing her previous performances which have ever been of a very pleasing nature.' “Dr. McChesney was. then intro- drn ed. Mrs, McChesney accempanied her husband to Urbaua for the day and ah informal reception Was held At iho close of the program When intro­ ductions were made and sincere ex­ pressions o f delight exchanged.
