A group of Winnebago City peo-
pie are making an experiment that
may solve the vexing problem of
domestic help. Some eight or ten
families have what they call a CO.
operative kitchen and they have en-
ployed a young man and his wife to
furnish their house as "a dining-room
and prepare noon and evening meals
for the members. The house is
centrally located and the members
live near. The women of the club
take turns in arranging the menus,
two serving each week. The club
has been in operation two weeks

table. is provided at far less cost
than ten individual tables The
loss in the homelife of the family
gathering around the table is COM

ness. This arrangement was
entered into not so much from choice
as necessity and the same necessity
is forcing others to some such solu
ton of the domestic service problem.

were light till the 9Th, and con

in finishing the shock thrashing,
cutting corn and flax, and making
hay from the good crop of late wild
grass. Nearly all the flax in the
southern half of the State, except
the latest, is cut, and there seems
chance for the latest to mature The
splendid corn crop is ripe, and
great deal of it is ic shock. Potatoes
are not as promising as usual; where
the tubers are best there are not
many in a hill, and in some places
there are complaints of rotting.
