OVERCOATS! 



Our line of overcoats this fall will 

 bear close inspection. I he mate» 

 rials are in the coats and the 

 prices are very reasonable con- 

 sidering the times. .Some few 

 coats were carried over from last 

 year, due to the mild weather 

 last winter. These coats are 

 priced the same as last year and, 

 while they last, they are a mighty 

 good buy for someone.

WOMEN FARM BUREAU 



WORKERS MEET 



Over 100 women gathered at the First 

 Church Parish House, Tuesday, Novem- 

 ber 4 foi the session of delegates and pro- 

 ject leaders in the various towns of the 

 three Counties. After reports of the 

 Home Demonstration Agents, Mrs. Edith 

 C. Salisbury of the United States Rela- 

 tions Service of the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture gave a most interesting and 

 insti-uctive talk on "The value of One 

 WoiTian's Influence," illustrating it with 

 the story of the white apron which was 

 made by a little girl in a district school, 

 material and instruction being furnished 

 by the teacher. When the child wore it 

 home the contrast was too great and a 

 clean face and hands, also a clean dress 

 followed, first for the little girl and then 

 for her brothers and sisters and finally 

 the reform extended to the house and 

 ya- d and then to the village. Small be- 

 ginnings have large endings. After Mrs. 

 Salisbury's speech a basket lunch was 

 served, coffee being provided by the ladies 

 of the farm bureau. The luncheon hour 

 was an especally social one, during which 

 lots of valuable hints on various phases 

 of social economics were exchanged. The 

 afternoon program was largely devoted 

 to the clothing projects and reports were 

 given by leaders from the various towns. 



I In the afternoon Mrs. Reid, the clothing 

 efficiency expert, from M. A. C, gave a 

 valuable talk on her subject, beginning 

 with the fundamental necessity of a 

 healthy body to wear the clothes made 

 by efficient hands. For this three things 

 are necessary, flat heeled shoes, a full 

 diaphragm and a high chest. She told 

 the program for the classes which have 

 been held and their work was illustrated 

 by a claoS from Sunderland who dis- 

 played the very pretty and useful gar- 

 ments they hrd made. Mrs. Reid spoke 

 also of a class in Montague, who had 

 recognized the educational value of their 

 work and had made wonderful progress 

 not only in eflSciency but in saving time 

 and material. A pretty waist made of 

 one and one-half yards of goods was 

 shown, also a dress made of three and a 

 half yards. One of the ladies made a 

 dres^ with eight button holes and some 

 '.rimming on colkr and cuff.'- in two hours 

 and twelve minutes. Mrs. Reid's desire 

 is ta eliminate put'ering and give con- 

 fidence in one's ability that neither time 

 nor goods be wasted.
