 cept at 11.00 when they will each hold 

 separate sessions for the election of offi- 

 cers and town directors. This is the first 

 year the ladies have attended, and a large 

 representation is desired. Make this an- 

 nual meeting the largest gathering of its 

 kind ever held in the county. Last year 

 16 towns were represented. Why not 

 have every town represented this year?

 shire County who is interested in agri- 

 culture, is invited. Remember the date, 

 Saturday, January 5, 1918 at 10.30

Concluded from page 4 



"I had done a little pickling before the 

 Fair, but had not liked it very well for, 

 my hands burnt terribly after I had 

 pickled ripe peppers. 



"The week after the Fair, mother had 

 some peaches to can and some peppers to 

 pickle. She had always done this her- 

 self in previous years, but this time 1 

 offered my services, and she gladly ac- 

 cepted them. I thought that I would 

 take the pickling for a change. The 

 onions I was to pickle were small but 

 powerful, and after working but a short 

 time, I asked mother if she'd "swap 

 jobs." I think I like canning better than 

 pickling, and intend to do more next 

 summer. 



"Now, I know that this is not e.xtra 

 good, but nevertheless, having worked 

 pretty hard at the story and fulfilled all 

 requirements, I do hope I get a pin."
