ern California branch of the woman's

and as proof that these young women
are capably filling the places of men
called into the army or other activities
connected with the war, it was pointed
out at the headquarters of the service
that many of their requests for help
came from ranches near those to which
units had previously been sent.
Volunteers in the woman's land army
sent out from Los Angeles include
teachers, stenographers, saleswomen,
mattresses and school girls. Most of
them have been employed in gathering
and preparing for market deciduous
fruits. Activities of others have in
Guided driving tractors, dairying, plant
ing tomatoes, harvesting various crops
and making hay.
The dairy industry has taken large
diaries near Los Angeles, women hav-
ing largely replaced men as mixers.
OF the first units sent to the diaries
only few of the young women had
MIXED before, and most of them were
unaware that there is "wrong" as
well as fright" side to cow until
they had been kicked over by out
ragged animals.

For Reflection.

There's nothing so unimpor-
tant as self-importance.
The man who is always well
coined at home is usually well
coined everywhere else.
Success is nothing more nor
less than doing well at the right
minute something that the world
wants done well.
The reason some men succeed
Is because they are determined
to make the knockers and the
scoffers take back what they
said.
