Would you prefer manicured nails
and a $l695 Easter dress or dirty,
bhstered hands and SIT chicken
brooder?
This Is the choice now confront
ing members of q class of nearly
two score women comprising Mary
lands first farmerettes, which the
female contingent sponsors hope Is
the advance guard Of national
women's land army.
"I'll take q chicken brooder any
time instead. of a new dress for
Easter" says petite Mrs. Brockett
Muer of Olney, Nd, wife of Wash
ington title lawyer and mother of
four children.
Mrs. Muir declares she isn't kid
ding. that she's serious and that the
5 cents difference in price between
the two items from which she may
choose has In no way Influenced
her decision. The same assurance
comes from other members Of the

Twice each week they swap chic
afternoon frocks, the alluring silks
and satins from the fashion centers,
for soil-stained coveralls at the Uni

They have enlisted to relieve an in
creasingly acute farm shortage and
perhaps to set an example that will
sweep the country.
Dr.. T. B. Symons, dean of the
university's. extension service, is
aware that farmers think city wom-
en- would pine for urban comforts
and are skeptical about their farm
ing talents. But despite this pre-
judice, farmers are going to be
mighty glad to get the help of these
women before the wars over, he
says.
In q classroom In one Of the
university's many Colonial build
ings sits q steamfitter's wife who
is anxious to learn how to tend her
3-acre plot.
There's q woman in q smart Law
ender dress who carries a harle-
quin lorgnette. She's an attorneys
wife with an apartment-nurtured
desire for farm life.
One Thing in Common.
Next to her across the aisle Is
one who speaks with a travel
smooth French accent, the wife of
a gentleman farmer with hundreds
Of acres.
But they have one thing in COM
mon-they're all in complete earnest
about the job they've tackled.
Reading pamphlets on how to
pack apples without bruising them
and how to raise chicks without los
ing any is far cry from the law
books so familiar to Mrs. M. NJ.
Nowinski Of Washington-an attor-
ney.
Il am essentially a city person
and I suppose this Is just a re-
pressed desire for a garden" she
says. II have always wanted one
and have always lived in the city.
But we have no children and I'll
De able 10 go away and do what
work they ask me to do on the
farms"
Mrs. Moran McConihe, wife of
Washington real estate dealer, says
she Is going to give UP everything"
and devote her whole attention to
the farm she, her husband and
their two children are taking in
Potomac, Md.
1t takes a lot more muscle to
pitch hay than to hold a little slam
In hearts, so, in addition to book
and field learning, the women will
get calisthenics.
This is a hardening-up period
for them" says DR.. Symons, "just
like for the boys in the Army.
They'll be able to pick crops and
do much to help the farmer, par
ticularly in the stress of harvest"

RADIANT LIVING
OgTWARD BOUND
By REV. C. M. GRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church. Cecllt0n, MD.

If you have a vivid imagination,
thank God for it.
God has given us the power OF
imagination to enable us to escape
from the dull drabness of confined
living.
Take, for instance, that man who
is shut up all day in his office, a
prisoner of dull routine. There he
sits day by day chained like a
slave to his desk, his eyes glued
to the tasks at hand, seeing nothing
but what is presented to his physi-
cal eyes.
Often when so incarcerated by
enslaving routine, l have leaned
back from the desk, and, shutting
my eyes, imagined myself to be
again on the tilted afterdeck of an
outbound schooner, plowing thru
a rough sea to some fascinating
port beyond the distant horizon.
With the twang of the sea air in
my. lungs and with my ears filled
with the music of whistling ropes,
swapping canvas, and creaking
blocks, l again stand spellbound at
the wheel and glance aloft at the
full spread of her windfilled can
vas, and then watch her long nose
as it dips into the onrushing surg
ing sea, shooting up great sheets
of drenching water.
What if you are a prisoner at a
desk, or tied down to a bench, or
bending over a tub filled with
clothes. Bestir your God-given
imagination Catch the spirit of
being Outward Bound!" Get a
new interest. Take up a new
study. Seek some further exper-
ience in spiritual living.
Then each morning, as you
lump from your bed and are slip
ping into your clothes, there will
be a new glow upon your face, a
new zest in your step, a new note
IN your voice, new aspiration in
your heart, for you will feel that
you are today outward bound for
some worthwhile accomplishment.

TILE PLACE WHERE THOU
STANDEST, by Paul Scherer. Har-
per and Brothers, New York. $3.50.
Twenty-Five superb sermons that
help person find meaning for
life in a chaotic world. There is no
attempt to escape reality in these
pages, but there is wrestling with
the things of this existence. The
victory of faith, the strength Of
hope, and the passion of holy love
characterize these brilliant utter
ances and heart-winning messages.
Paul Scherer holds fast to the best
of yesterday, grips firmly truth for
today's living, and is not afraid of
tomorrow. His preaching is great
and timely. Back to the ordinary
things that shape human history!
Simple things that don't look at all
as If they could ever be a match
for any one Of the gigantic, COM
plex forces OF evil which are Just
now trying to frown yon out of
your religion and scare you out of
your witsi Nexer mind any of 1t.
Make nothing Of the people who
tell you that these defenseless,
homely virtues of the Christian
faith cannot ever accomplish any
thing in day like ours. That's
the DEVILS own deyice to wreck
the stuff out of which God is
making His futurel When the story
Of that future is written, no man
may pronounce your name; but if
you carry it on, this that you haye
in your hands, many a man there
will be who would strike his colors
to your memory if he knew"
THE CONVERSATIONS OF
JESUS, by Frederick X. Stamm.
Harper and Brothers, New York.
81. A good book in a series of re-
prints which should be helpful to
many. There are thirty chapters
that give effective treatment to the
contents of the Master with life.
"If the Church is to go on and
make its call clear to men, it must
first of all bring the impact of the
of Jesus upon individ-
ual souls. Men are not captured by
a program, but by a person. Not
by teacher, but by Man. What
we find in the New Testament is
the report of new life quickened
by contact with Jesus Christ. He
comes to us as One unknown, with
out a name, as of old by the lake
side He came to those men who
knew Him not. He speaks the same
thou Me-and sets
us to the tasks which He has to
fulfill for our time. He commands.
And to those who obey whether
they be wise or simple, He will re-
veal Himself in the tolls, the con-
Hicts, the suffering which they
shall pass through in His fellow
ship, and as an ineffable mystery,
hey shall learn in their own ex-
lerience who He is.'
