yrY name is May Isabel t'nrna
| IVI l»n. I am eighteen years
old, nnd I work In a
tory In Michigan. Morn tlinu four
hundred other girls work there loo;
I don't aim to tell you about our Jobs.
'You can read about our work In lho
labor department report*. But I do
aim to tell you about our Big Slstet
nnd of file things she has done for u*.
"To begin with, our factory town
Isn't a town at *ll. It'* a huge baru
of buildings (tuck down In the country
nineteen mile* from nowhere. Ther«
I* a railroad aiding, a station the sl/.t
of a dry good* box, seven farmhnu*e*
and on* general *tore nnd postofllc*
••mhlned—lt'* pretty near ** big as a
hot tamale stand. And that's all. No
Main atreet, no banks nor stores, no
Ice-cream parlors, not one solitary
movie show, In all those nineteen
mile*. I/meaome? It's the rugged
edge of desolation, that's what It I*.
"I was one of the first carload 01.
forty girls that was shipped up from
Chicago. The factory wns swarming
with workmen putting In the machin
ery, and we girls couldn't begin work
foe a day or so, so we began hunting
plsce* to eat and *leep. That was a
trifle that the employment folk* hadn't
thought of. The workmen were sleep
ing nnd eating In the cars that had
brought them there, backed on tho
siding. Our only chance for beds anil
food was with those seven farmhouses,
*o wo marched straight to the farmer*'
wive* and asked for board nnd room.
Fsrfflar** Wive* Hospitable.
"I will any that thoaewomen were kind
and hoapltatile. They fixed It up be
tween them to feed ti* forty girl*, and
they gBTe us good food too. But for
room*, that wa* the question. They
could -each apare one room. That
meant aleep five or all In a room. But
right then along came the bona of the
factory and told ua the machinery wa*
ready and he'd expect us girl* to work
double ahlfta. night and day.
"Ha wanted to make use of every
minute, you see. But that gave us our
chance as to sleeping. We filed It up
with the farm folks that we'd work
double shifts nnd sleep double shift*
too.
, "So we planned It. Three icTrla
would UM> n room from eight nt liliiht
itlll nix the next morning. Then they'd
hustle over to the factory, nr.d the
three girl* who'd been working nil
night would take the room and sleep
till afternoon. It wasn't any luxuri
ous (lumber, believe me. The fnrm
women had so few sheet* and pillow
case* that', most of us went without
And towela were scarce as diamonds
on blackberry hushes. Aa to soap—
well, the general atore kept yellow bar
soap, that kind that la so full of ronln
yon could use It to calk a ship. But
we made out till the next three car
loads of girls came rolling In. Then
we went 'most distracted. Those poor
girls had to sleep In tenta and In the
oars that the workmen had abandoned
by this time, and they were lucky If
they got a straw tick and a blanket.
By this time It had turned raw cold,
and maybe yon know what late au
tumn nights In Michigan feel like. To
cap the climax the farm folks cut
down on food, and for a week it was
potatoes and beans and mighty few
beans at that.

"But, right when we were about
Ckdy to qnlt oar Jobs and beat It for
me, along came a miracle. Two
quiet, businesslike women' climbed
down from the eastbeund train one
morning. With them came eight work
men, a carload of scantling and tar
paper, another carload of cots and
blankets and pillows and sheets and
towels —brand new blankets and beds
—think *of the glory of thatl—and
bushels of dishes and rolls qf oilcloth

you that In ten days their workmen
had a scantllng-and-tar-'paper shack
put up and burlap tacked over the
walls, and the Y. W. C. A. secretary

were set those rows of clean cots, with

"Who were those women? Why,
Y. W. C. A. secretaries, of course. I'd
think you'd know that without being

last days of the hostilities he served
with the First division In the Vosges,
In charge of a hut In a narrow valley

METHODS OF GRAPE PRUNING
• .
No Other Tree or Vina May Be
Handled 80 Systematically—Es-
I aential Points Given,
(By It'll BENNINGTON.)
80 much has oeen written on thla
subject and so many complicated
methods aet forth, that the essential
points 'have been lost sight of, and
those who cannot follow these methods
to the letter Just let the vineyard go
without care.
Proper pruning la the most Impor
tant Item In grape culture, and there
la no tree or vine which may be
handled ao systematically aa the grape.
With fruit trees a great deal has to be
left to the Judgment of the operator
and. the condition of the treea; not ao
'With the grape, for there are certain
rules which must be. adhered to, leav
ing nothing to guesa.
It la not enough to cut away half or
two-thirds of the growth, for unless
you have a proper knowledge of tha
frult-bearlng canes you may cut away
the very ones you ought to let alone.
In the first place let us understand
that some of the canes will produce
fruit buds next year, while others will
- only make more wood.
It Is not at all difficult to determine
between the two. The fruit canes
have the buds close together and these
buds are short and (lump. Such canes
usually come from wood of the previ
ous season's growth, while the long
jointed and unfruitful canes come
from the older wood.
Let us remember, however, that
these long-jointed canes In their turn
produce frult-bearlng canes next year,
and one or two bud spurs should be
left on them, for the vineyardlst must
look a year ahead. The time for prun
ing grapevines is any time from the
falling of the leaves In the fall till the
sap rises In the spring, and no matter
what kind of trellis you use, Canopy,
wire or even a single post for each
vine, the essentials are the same; and
these are, that two fruitful be
left on each vine, three or four feet
long, or containing ten or fifteen buds
each.
These buds will produce fruitful
vines for next year's pruning, as It is
a well-established fact that caneß
growing out of these spurs are more
apt to be vigorous and fruitful than
those from canes that bore fruit thla
year.
| If this has been looked after this

First the tanks were constructed In
the usual manner, of steel, ana these
were filled with water so that they

feared that If concrete were poured
while they were empty slight changes
might take place when the tanks were
filled, causing the concrete to crack.
The forms for the first setting were
placed on the foundation and braced
to the ground. As each panel of the
form weighs a ton it Is readily seen
that It was a difficult task to raise ths
