meat shop. Harry is able to butcher

on the wrist from me. There are some
parts of this ranch that do not get
written up very often because they
are steady full crew from day to day.
And week in and week out every day
of the year. The laundry, hotel, and
sewing department-there is little to
say about them, but they are so inn
portant that they have to operate re-
gularly. Our meals are always ready,
prepared and served by a crew Of
faithful women; sick or well they are
on the job seven days in the week to
minister to our physical necessities.
The following. named ladies are our
benefactors three times day: Mes
danes Crawford, Ferree, Hamilaon,
Matt, Murrell, and Alexander, as a reg
ular force, assisted by some others and
the school girls. Dad Crawford is I'M
der the protecting wing of these ladies
and is never allowed a minutes loaf
ing. Daniel is also connected with the
hotel crew, but is laid up with lame
foot. Mrs. MerreI and Mrs. Jacques as
sist at the chamber work. This indus
try never shuts down and we all know
it, too. But if these faithful cooks
should decide to take holiday or two
we could at best-fast. The laundry
is also an industry that possibly few ap-
pfeciate to its full Importance. Clean
illness is next to Goodness" and we
have Comrade Beavers and the wom-
en-, Mrs. Beavers, Mrs. Kemp, Mrs.
Nash, Mrs. Sexton, and Mrs. Tackett
for keeping us in clean duds, and, be-
lieve me, they are doing fine work,
and we appreciate their work immense
ly. The laundry equipment is fairly
good and we will add to it as the in
dustry grows. The sewing room is al
SO steady, plodding job, from which
we receive no kicks or grunts. You
would hardly know there was a sewing
room if it were not evidenced by new
shirts, overalls, and dresses, and many
necessary articles they make there. The
ladies there are Mrs. Rhodes, Mrs. Syn
oground and Mrs. Langridge. Every
week ! shall try to introduce you to
some more of our women members.
and let you know that there are no par
asites here. Mrs. Gaddis and Rose Bel
ohradsky have a new pic of work go
ing at tn store to keep them out of
mischief. They have a set Of quilt
ing frames suspended from the ceiling
and are making comforters every day
during leisure hours. Others step in
once in while and help them out.
Some initiative, Ell! what?
