Hodge. Gladys Hickland, the eighteen- year-old daughter of the family and the eldest child, is the heroine of the harvest. The Star found her mowing harley in the barn. She is a fair-haired, pretty girl, who gave up her position as house- maid in the home of Harry Camp- lin, reeve of Beeton. Now she is doing a man's work, and doing it well, and her little brothers are helping her, She had a fork in her hand, and ten feet ahove the floor of the barn, was pitching the sheaves of barley about quickly and deftly, spreading them evenly, when the Star called, At the other end of the barn, the wheat had _ been "mowed" in the same way, so that it reached almost to the very roof. Beneath her a team of horses, harnessed to a bay rack, waited patiently, while her brother, Nel- son, aged eleven, was fastening the hoisting gear to the rope that en- circled a great bundle of, sheaves. "All right," he called. In a mo- ment the great bundle began to rise from the hay rack, hauled up by a mechanism suspended from ceiling, and operated by apother team of horses. This second team was being handled by the youngest A. | fox trot had Banjo Solo Song Record No. 8620 Song Record No. 8620 Song Record No. 26038 Pipe Orzan Record No. 8615 Song Record No. 8608 Song Record No. 8617 Dealers Everywhere | | Apex Records are on Sale at | Gladys, WILSON & LEE 71 Simcoe St. North . Phone 2268 son of the house, Eldon, aged eight. Eldon weighs a little less thap the head of ejther the two huge horses he handles so well. His job was to drive the horses straight down the runway from the barn door. As they went they pulled a taut rope, hauling the vast bundle of sheaves into the air. It poised for a moment, then be- gan to travel away from the rack, passed over Glady"s head, stopped. Little Nelson, standing on his hay rack, pulled another rope, it tripped the bundle of sheaves. Down they fell with a "whoosh" and a "flop" and a scattering of barley bits and dust that pearly smothered the reporter who stopd knee deep in barley. Gladys attacked the big umeven pile at once, and began smoothing the top of the mow. The hay rack, soon emptied by repetition of those operations, drew out of the barn. Soon another rack driven by Leonard, aged twelve, the eld- est boy, appeared, and the game went on. Howeyer, it was pot nearly so simple as it sounded. Eight year- cld Eldon, who stuck to his job manfully, was erying most of the time; crying because his big horses very sue-|ing iy et the nen get 10 the fields temporarily work Mrs. but since Gladys has taken over a man's Hickland has been milking the tem cows herself. She usually handles the evening milking her- self, too. There are 40 pigs to feed. The horses are harnessed before breakfast, usually by the boys, including the youngest. The New- WEST END GARAGE The other morning Gladys took a hand at this. And anywhere from 6.30 to 7, the one hired man, Will Hendry, a youth of twenty, Gladys, and her little men get to work in the fields, This young lady, by the way, was given a medal for bravery last month. On the twenty-third of March she heard screams in the kattic of the Reeves' home and ran up, At the head of the stairs was a sheet of flame, but she knew that little Helen Camplin, five years old, and Keith, aged four, had been playing in the at- tie and were still there. So she dashed through the flames and opened the attic door. A great gust of black smoke engulfed her. She could scarcely see the children huddled on the flpor, screaming. She took them one at a time and dropped them over the bamnnister, then rushed through the flames again. Her right arm is terribly scarred from wrist to elbow, and her left was burned too. "My hair was burned off, partly, but 1 am certainly glad my face wasn't scarred."
