FARMERS' MONTHLY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY 



A Business Bank for 



Business Farmers 



This is a message for business 

 farmers — for those progressive 

 crop and cattle raisers who know 

 that to get profits from farming 

 there must be knowledge not only 

 of crops, but of markets, of prices, 

 of soil treatment, of other factors. 



This bank's primary object is to 

 help farmers of this section to pros- 

 per. Our complete banking facili- 

 ties and our dependable sources of 

 information valuable to farmers are 

 at your disposal. 



We'll be glad to serve you.

The habit of Saving 



Is at the bottom of most 

 big successes in the busi- 

 ness world. Begin the 

 habit by opening a savings 

 account with the Hayden- 

 ville Savings Bank. One 

 dollar is enough to start 

 with.

A REAL HOME 



"The home is to the house what the 

 soul is to the body. You many cut oif one 

 of my legs and I still live; two of my legs 

 and I can yet smile; one of my arms, and 

 I can talk, argue, eat, work ; take the oth- 

 er arm away, and — if my blood lasts, I 

 still am I. Sever me limb from limb, or- 

 gan from organ — but you do not touch 

 me. When the blood is exhausted and 

 the mortal frame can do no more I shall 

 wave you a gay farewell and escape. But 

 you have not touched me. I shall have 

 slipped aside somewhere to build, like the 

 chambered nautilus, more stately man- 

 sions for my soul. 



"The home is like that. Fire may de- 

 stroy every vestige of the house, every 

 article of furniture, every shred of cloth- 

 ing,but — if there was a home there, the 

 fire has not touched it. Floods can not 

 wash it away. Winds can not disurb its 

 foundations. For it is built of spirit, 

 and what is built of the spirit is not sub- 

 ject to material disaster." 



—Delia T. Lutes, 

 "A Home of Your Own." 



Millinery News 

 The Home Demonstration Agent has 

 been having a very interesting class of 

 girls at the People's Institute every Tues- 

 day night. Thirty-five girls made felt 

 hats for themselves and friends. They 

 have also made some very clever flowers 

 out of the pieces of felt that were left, 

 and by means of these flowers, they are 

 able to bring the color of their hats down 

 onto the coats, making their costumes 

 more complete ensembles. 



Granby and South Hadley have had 

 their last meeting with Mr. W. S. Man- 

 chester, representative of the Sherwin 

 Williams Paint Co. They had an aver- 

 age attendance of thirty-five at the three 

 meetings. The Granby women were very 

 faithful, but they said they got so much 

 out of the meetings, it was worth the ef- 

 fort they had to make, to get to South 

 Hadley. They have done some interest- 

 ing things, too, as a result of these meet- 

 ings. But we will tell you about that 

 later. 



At the third meeting of the South Had- 

 ley Falls Food Selection group Miss Foley 

 gave a very interesting talk on meal plan- 

 ning for food value, economy and variety. 

 She also demonstrated her points in the 

 dishes of California Chicken and Apple 

 Snow. Both dishes are favorites in 

 Hampshire County. 



The Goshen and Cushman women have 

 finished their work on children's clothes. 

 At Goshen the last meeting consisted of 

 work on alteration of patterns. At Cush- 

 man there was an exhibit of homemade 

 and ready made garments.
