A Woman Buttermaker,

The following interesting article is
from the New England Homestead. 1t
was accompanied by pictures of Miss
cry:
"When the Grange lecturers of the
six New England states recently con-
vened in Vermont they were treated to
an address by Miss Hannah Halonen,
lecturer of Wardsboro Grange and
butter maker of the farmers creamery
in that town. She is very keenwitted
and has a great fund has great fund
of practical ideas. Miss Halonen is
the only woman buttermaker in a
creamery in New England, if not in
the United States. She makes over
10000 pounds of butter year AID a
great deal of it is sold by parcel post
in Massachusetts.
"Miss Halonen was educated in a
creamery school in Finland, and came
to America Is years ago and has been
at Wardsboro Is years. Miss Halonen
said in Finland people had the i'm
preston that all one had had to do in
America was to walk along the streets
and pick up money. She has never had
the heart to write back and tell them
it is not so. New England would ben
eft greatly by finding out what peo-
pie who come here from foreign coun-
tries are prepared to do. In her own
case, not having friends here and un-
able to speak English, she was obliged
to do homework when she had a diplo-
ma from one of the government cream
cry schools of Finland

A Michigan inventor has worked

no radical changes from existing
methods now In use, bu. rather dis
tributes the applicable use of those
methods. lie has found that there are
special advantages in driving all -four
wheels where soft tires arc used az

strain on such tires, especially pneu-
matte tires, is so destructive that II Is
impucticable To drive with two wheels
for load of more than four or five

Furthermore. he claims that an
other advantage in a double" or four

due to the rush OF factories on war

lie also predicts that the railroad
car shortage will grow worse rltner
than better during the coming Il
months, and points o the fact that
while there was n shostage of only
seven thousand cars year ago, that
now the shortage is forty thousand
cars. This situation will not only
hinder automobile manufacturers in
distributing the finished products. but
also in assembling raw materials.
