WHAT ONE GIRL DID

The following is the interesting ex-
p~erience Of Miss Carrie LYDIA, Ii years
old, Of Route 2. Miss LYDIA is one of
the most energetic members of the
potato club. She writes:
"On one-eighth acre of irish pota-
toes 1 made 20 bushels and sold them
for $40. I bought a calf for $40 and a
pig for Sc, leaving me 81. After this
| sold the calf and pig for 5 war
stamps and $40 in cash. This makes
a total of $50 in less than II months.
l am one of the club girls again this
year. Have worked my potatoes three
times, have them clean and they are
looking fine. 1 failed to get the prize
,as. yGlr c. tnc humble: OF DGshels
made, but girls, 1 am trying for a
prize this time"

So II has been at the armory all

motor mad is evident TO the vcriest
tyro. And the show has had a good
effect on both buyer and seller. IL
has brought about better feeling
on both sides. and has done much To
abolish the old fashioned idea that
automobile dealers were a group OF
men who were coming money AT the

been plainly laugh; that the men who
sell motor cars are the same Kind
az men as those who sell any other
'commodity. and that their methods
are as honest and legitimate as
those OF any other merchant.

show has been a winner In the way
