by this time some farm ers will have their cows oqt on gra s onftrms where there is a shoitage of hay and oats farmers are glad to turn thei cattle out a9 soon as possible ours are still in the barn but we are looking for ward to the time when they can be turned out and i am sure the cows are anticipating that day with great longing just imagine what it must be like to be a cow to be tied up in a stall for six months on end or to be confined to a loafing barn to be fed dry hay and dry meal with salt and maybe molasses and cnsil- re as an appetizer no wonder rows kick up- thoir heels r a chase eiffch other the first time thev find themselves in wide open spaces with only strands of wire to fence them in obviously they are delirious with joy and yet cow s out on pasture remind me of women at a bargain sajc the cows see luscious green grass all around them so what happens instead of cleaning up on one place they wander all over the feld tramping down more good feed than they eat and at a bar gain ale very often women don t know what they want this dress that set of towels uie look like a bargain but there may be better ones at the ne let s move on n isn t th a j terribly uncomplimentary simile buwjou now being a woman i know it s true right now i am hoping various organizations are finding bargains in new officers women who have been in office for ears deserve praise for their loalty and scr- v ice but a change of officers is often a good thing new officers may not be as efficient but b re quiring more help other members most of necessity become more active and
