If outsiders do not know what good
we are doing, lt is mainly because we
do not tell them.
Traveling through a still unorgan-
ized country, I was unable to find one
single farmer who knew anything
about our Union. I heard later that
efforts had been made to organize that
county, but that they had failed, it was
said on account of lack of interest.
On investigation, 1 found though that
the local papers had ever
one single communication
from the Union, and that the meetings
had not been advertised. That same
story can probably be told in many
other counties. A publicity campaign,
made in advance and well advertised
meetings, would very probably have
given quite different results.
I have found that local and even
daily papers willingly reproduce all of

Cover this with a layer of shredded

Make Bloomers for Girls. w
For summer make bloomers of ging-
ham or anything dark and aprons to
match for the little girls.* This saves
washing, while the little one is kept
cool during the hot days, as only the
apron over the bloomers is needed to
play in.
Simple Dessert.
Place slice of sunshine cake on
■ach dessert plate, over which spread
1 thick layer of vanilla ice cream. On
top of this place half of a large yel-
low peach, seed side up. Form 4

whipped cream. The effect will re-
