The good women of this commun ity are taking their part in the work around the home in many new ways this year.

Having tried all fall to get some one to do the work she, decided that she could climb into the attic, and assisted by two young boys, direct the work and assist until her home is made more inaccessible to the winter winds by the use of insulating ma terial. Other women in this com munity are husking corn, unloading corn, getting in the potatoes for the winter, and other such jobs, which have always been left for the men to do, and they are cheerful and un complaining about every task.
