The Home Demonstration Pays.

ing to hold down the tax rate.
AS legislative bodies are so fond
of doing, it began its economic

tions for constructive work, the
ones that bring in the biggest re-
turns. By a narrow majority
the home demonstrators $400. 90
was refused. The people of the
little county town had seen the
value of the work, however, and
speedily raised the money neces-
sary to secure the government
appropriation and keep the dem
onstrator.
This county is largely noun
famous. Often she has no means
of transportation. Sometimes
she walks as far as ten miles to
attend a meeting. Now the far
mers Of the county are making
up money to buy a car for her.
