HOW SHE DID IT.
Bright Southern Girl Pays for Home
Witk Canned Vegetables.


!! Witk Canned Vegetables.
! Washington, Sept. 1S.-Wher
fourteen year-old Ruth Anderson O
Etowah County, Alabama, told tht
carpenter she would swap vegetables
from her garden for improvements
to her home, he laughed and SAID
, GLOW many beans will it take tc

But Ruth did not laugh; she
meant business.
Here is the story as tod by the
United States Department OF AGrl-
culture:
Ruth was the second girl i'll fam
lily of eleven, and their house was
small and crowded. 1t was dark, too,
for lack of glass in the windows, ano
her greatest desire in life was to
have pretty, attractive nome Win
a porch and plenty of light and
space.
Ruth told the carpenter that she

u considerable quantity Of canned
vegetables. She had a canning OUT
fit and had learned the right way 10
use it by getting into The canning
club which had been established III
the county by The Department OF
.Agriculture's home demonstration
acan.. The carpenter saw that huth
was in earnest and agreed to begin
remodeling the house in return Tor
supply Of fresh and CANNED vege-
tables.
Ruth went TO work with a will to
keep her part Of the bargain. In one
vcar -. put roo cans Of tomatoes
and 75n cans OF beans. She became
50 expert that she won a canning
