Good Will Farm is busy with much
building at present. Aside from two new
cottages, Walter Hnckley, one of the
professors at the school is building
"a fine residence on one of the hills that
overlook the Kennebec. The founda-
ton is already completed and the SUI
perstructure is being built.
The new Grange cottage for girls at
Good Will is in process of construction,
and work is proceeding satisfactorily.
Grange cottage, which was destroyed
by fire, last winter. was built by the
Changers of Maine. Soon after its loss
the State Grange decided to rebuild.
and a building committee was duly APP
pointed. The original plans were revised,
a few changes were made, and the cot
tage is being built with additions and
improvements. The foundations of the
front part are unchanged but an extern
sion of the back part will add to the APP
pearance of the cottage and at the same
time give additional room which, was
much needed in the original. The exte-
rior of the cottage is nearly completed
and it is expected that the building will
be dedicated within a few weeks.
A cottage being built at Good Will that
people are more or less interested in is
the one being put up by the boys of the
homes. The work is being done entirely
by their skill and hands, and is now
nearly completed on the outside. The
work is being so we'll done that 1t proves
that the practical side of life is being
taught at this wonderful institution un-
der the direction of its founder. George

WOMEN IN BANKING
Finance Thoroughly Under

Whatever generaliZing you do about
women in these days is likely to be
met with facts which convince you
that you spoke hastily.
| Not long ago I said that women are
not supposed. to know anything about
finance, and urged them to find out
some of the simpler things And then
came proof that generalized rashly.s

,cient part of the machinery Of the
American Bankers Association I re-
ceived first-hand demonstration that
a woman may know about finance, In

learn about cooking or nursing or
household economies. Then I learned
that women are taking places OF trust

who is a bond seller, and | believe
that she does as well as most sales
men. The other day l received a
clipping describing the work done by
a Texas young moman who Is editor
of financial periodical.
This young woman, Miss M. Lena
Riddle. went into the State banking
department as clerk. She became
chief clerk, and from that position
graduated to the editorship of the Off
cial organ of the Texas State Bank
ers' Association. She is a frequent
speaker on banking subjects, and she
has organized department OF woman
bankers for the Texas association. In
Texas twenty-one women are bank
presidents, cashiers, and assistant
cashiers. From the clipping / quote
two brief paragraphs:
Miss Riddles most notable work
has been the compilation of a digest
of Texas banking laws. 1t has at
tracted wide attention among lawyers
who know something of the task in

There is not a single trace of the
average mans conception of the bust

bust health, beauty of face and fig

LIVERMORE, Cal, July 1.-The
discovery of a new pest which threat

but attacked the top of the vines.
Soon after the pest begins its work
the vine withers at the top and the
blight progresses downward as the
borer continues its ravages.
Unable TO identity the BEETLE, a
number of samples were gathered and
forwarded TO the State Horticultural
Commission at Sacramento for the
purpose of ascertaining the identity
of the pest, and, if possible. the
means To be employed to annihilate

The Commission identified il as the

that an expert would be sent to the
