call her the girl wonder and admit
that Hillside is one of the most pros.

Gently taken complete control she ..as
assisted her uncle for several years.
Her father offered to pay the expenses
Of a college course. but the girl pre-
fefred farming to college life and in
sisted on helping her uncle.
While at school she passed her va
cations with her uncle and soon was
able to do the work of man. She
was not satisfied with the knowledge
of the laborious part of the work, but
took a deeper interest in agriculture
and is now considered such an expert
that farmers in the vicinity seek her
advice.
1t is an interesting sight to watch a
pretty girl. neatly dressed, giving
orders to and overseeing the work of
corps of farm hands. some Of whom
have been engaged on farms for more
than quarter of a century.

Miss Biting has always been con

B Will the sick and suffering cheer,
Or hearts despondent. bruised and sore
Thy helpful words of comfort hear.
In sorrow loved ones weep fer thee,
And thy departure friends bemoan;
Yet not grief-stricken, bereft should be
When summon God to heaven His

Never blossomed in bright sunshine
A lovelier and purer flower,
Transplapted now to Kingdom Divine
Where is the glory and the power.
