Why 1t Is "Ham Meadow"

Ham meadow is the name given to a
field near Dresden, because it was
bought from the proceeds of sale Of
a ham. A farmer sold tourist ham
for $S7, and Immediately purchased a
five-acre meadow with the money. This
land has now been christened locally
with the name of the Ham Meadow. y

The Spirit of Service.

If the spirit of service permeates every
day life we will constantly do things to
help people We meet. A pleasant greet
lng is worth while, while sour word or
ook depresses. Everybody carries some
sort of load, but there are different
ways to tote it and as the old darby said,
The Republican journal., 1917-12-27

Singing makes the load light" and
sense of humor helps one over hard
places. After all it is the spirit that
counts most. Difficulties have way of
melting before a cheerful, resolute spirit
and looming insurmountable to a timid
approach. So many people are in the
same boat with expenditures threatening
to overlap income, that nearly everyone
IS doing his utmost to economic, and
how uncomfortable this may seem Just
now it will work out readiustments dis
tinctly worth while. Dropping a lot of
useless things from necessity, we will
find life better worth living without them
for wits are sharpened w hen matched
against obstacles and new paths discov-
cred when we are forced out of beaten
ways.
Conservation.
Conservation does not mean penurious-
ness, nor the cutting out of beauty and
comfort from life. 1t means that we
must make the most of everything at
hand and find ways to make waste minis
ter to our wants. Often in factory the
utilization of the waste products brings in
greater returns than those received for
the original goods, and in the home some
of the daintiest, most appetizing viands
are made from left overs. Clever plan
ming, accurate cutting and neat finishing
often produce very attractive garments,
from things usually discarded, and if our
purses are long enough to compass new
clothes in place of these, others can turn
them to excellent account
Women associated to secure garment
for the children of the war ravaged coun-
tries, are making thousands of nice little
shirts and stockings from underwear that
would have been formerly used for clean
ing cloths, and from stockings with only
the upper parts whole. Patterns for this
work are easily obtainable and there is
no end to the need for such garments,
b 9th here and abroad.
Little Things Worth While.
All sorts of small contrivances that
slessen labor, economic cost, or make for
comfort and convenience in living, are
distinctly worth while. There may be
nothing new under the sun, but there are
a lot of things that people don't know
about and perhaps their next door neigh
Dor does. A woman's exchange for help
full hints is needed, and an yone can start
the movement.
