and many Of her most thrilling
stories were Of those stirring times.
After the death Of her husband, who
was killed in battle, she cared for
her children, provided their food and
clothing, and often rode many miles
alone on horseback transacting bust
ness affairs which she alone was lert
to manage.
Hers was wide and varied ex-
perience, and her life and character
such as her descendants would do
well to emulate. Indeed, l hope that
if / ever come to time when | shall
tell stories Of my life to my great
grandchildren, my own experiences,
which at present lie mostly in the
future, will have given me one-half
the strength Of character, the under
standing Of life and the nobility OF
spirit that made Of my great grand
mother the beloved woman of my
chiIdhood's memories.

LIFE ON A FARM IN THE DAY OF
MY GRANDMOTHER. -
Ok Teams In Olden Days Only Mode,
of LOcOmOtion.
tBy Winnie D. Rpid)


It is a trite but true saying that we
do not fully realize the value Of our
dearest possessions until we have lost
them. Certainly l never realized,
until the dear voice was hushed for
ever and the stories and recollections
recountad by her were only a mem
ory, the wealth of experience and
human sympathy expressed in the
tales which my great grandmother
used to tell as we sat around the
hearth On cold winter nights.
Born in 1880, she was ninety years
Of age when she died. The expert
ence of her long life had their be-
ginning i'll the country neighborhood
surrounding the town in Mississippi
now known as TylertoWn. In the
busy life that she led, there were
few interests which would be con-
sidered worth while by a girl of to-
day. The girls of the family not
only managed the affairs Of the
household, doing the cleaning, cook
ing, and sewing, but worked in the
fields, helping to cultivate the crops
which supplied food and clothing for
the family. .&
Much Of the time Of the girls and
women was spent in making cloth.
After the cotton had been harvested,
the fibers were separated from the
seeds by hand. This was a labori-
Gus process, requiring many hours Of
St. Tammany farmer., 1922-03-11

painstaking labor. When the cot
ton fiber was free from seeds, it was
prepared for spinning by a process
called "carding," which consisted OF
placing the cotton between two
boards covered with bristling wires
and pulling the boards or cards
across each other by handles. The
fibers were then spun into thread on
the familiar old-fashioned spinnins,
wheels and woven on hand looms
into strong, coarse fabrics from
which alt of the clothing of the
family : was made. Grandmother
said that she never had dress which
was made from machine-made cloth
until she was grown.
Another interesting occupation OF
the women folk was soap making
In some country districts, soap is
still made at home by using lye and
fat, but I've being unknown in grand
mothers day, a solution made from
the ashes of oak wood was used
This solution was cooked with fat
and allowed to harden into soap,
except in time of such scarcity of
fat that none was to be had for
soap-making. In that event, the
clothes were boiled in the ash so1u-
tion to remove the dirt. By this
process, my grandmother said, they
were made as clean as hey are in
the modern laundry.
Since the railroad was in my grand
mothers day thing unheard of, the
securing of provisions would have
been great problem except for the
fact that most Of the provisions were
produced on the farms. Flour, co..
fee, and sugar were practically the
only products bought, and these
were considered as luXuries. Among
the very first things that grandmoth-
er could remember was the two
weeks journey to Covington, La,
for provisions The supplies, which
had been brought on barges to Gov
ington were carried on OK wagons
to the homes in the surrounding
country: The oxen, usually from
two to four yokes, or pairs, OF them,
would travel at their leisurly pace
until night fell, when a camp would
be made by the roadside. Enough
supplies would be purchased at one
time to suffice for three months, and
during all that time the family, to
whom the trips to Covington fur
nished almost the sole contact with
the outside world, would be practl-
cally isolated.
The Civil War was one OF the
mile-stones in grandmother's l11@,

able at any time to inform shippers
or consisnees Of the exact location
and the probable time of arrival or
delivery tc connecting lines.
The equipment of the Illinois Cen
tral System enables it to maintain
this splendid freight service. The
company owns LOO locomotives and
69,l27 freight cars. Since the re-
turn from federal control $50 loco
motives and 1900 freight cars have
been purchased. Orders for 5000
additional freight cars have been
placed recently.
Cars are unavoidably delayed at
times, but this is negligible in COM
parlson to the great number of cars
handled daily. When a car is de-
layed, it is placed in preferred
class, and is handled as fast trains
in order to gain as much of the lost
time as possible.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL FREIGHT
SERVICE.

The Illinois Central System freight
service is founded upon prompt and
regular movement of freight and
| wants, according to statement to
the public male by President C. H.
Markham. ~....= .
Rapid movement Is given perish
able tritic, and the Illinois Central
System is among the leading rail
roads Of the country in handling this
type of business. Fruits from the
tropics and domestic fruits and veg
etables from Louisiana, Mississippi,
Tennessee and the Rio Grande Val
ley of Texas move north over the
lines of The Illinois Central System in
solid trainloads. During the past
six months these trains have MADE
early morning deliveries at their des-
tinations 50 per cent on time. 1T
northern points, cars are delivered
to connecting lines for distribution
throughout the East, the West, and
Canada.
The Illinois Central System also
ranks among the leading railroads
in originating coal and lumber traf-
.fc. These commodities are moved
largely in solid trainloads to prevent
detention at terminals. Fast NOV
ing merchandise trains are operated
out of the principal cities on the sys-
TEN. Solid trainlads Of meat and
Westinghouse products are handled
between Omaha. Sioux City and
Chicago, and fast through trains
from Council Bluffs to Chicago carry
California fruits and vegetables.
A bureau in the Office Of the car
accountant at Chicago receives tele-
graphic advices Of the movement of
cars loaded with perishable goods
and other high-c1ass freight and is
