T he visitors were easily retired in the first inning but after the runs came often as a result of a plentiful number of hits and numer ous errors. that In the third inning M. A.

She enjoyed the kind of public work for which she was so well equipped, and why should one not be ambitious to continue in it as long as strength would permit. F or many years she was a zealous laborer in the grange, not only at home, but all over the state, and in the State Grange, where she served im as chaplain and as a member of portant committees. F or ten or fifteen years she never lost an oppor tunity to say a word in favor of a department for women at the Agri cultural College, and after the present fine building was erected and equip ped and bevies of girls thronged its spacious halls and received instruc that helps to tion make home a success, she never tired of showing her appreciation of the enterprise. in everything Both Mrs. Mayo and her husband, the Hon. Perry Mayo, have done much in support of the Agricultural College. Here they sent their only son, who has since become an emi- nant professor in Kansas Agricul tural College. If the writer mistake not, Mich igan took the inaugurating lead in special sections of farmers' institutes where the women met for the dis cussion of such topics as most inter ested them. These meetings have been eminently successful.
