day by her neighbors a few days ago
Mrs. Arnold. whose husband is in

On the very day that she seemed most
disheartened of all, she looked out

twenty eight four-horse teams and

understand what 1t was all about.
1t did not take the neighbors long
however, to show Mrs. Arnold what
they intended to do. They began to
hitch their horses onto the plows and
started of in the field. Just as fast
as enough burrows were plowed to
make place for the harrow, the lat
ter machine was put into operation,
