Patterson Bros, 1522 Sherman Ave. Evanston. 22-123-1te By Mrs. E. W. Wortley The Illinois branch of the Woman's Land Army of America is already started. A farm of 200 acres near Libertyville has been procured for a training station. About 80 women have enrolled for this work, and ap- plications are coming in all the time. About forty will be accepted. The course is six months, and longer if students will take it. The woman superior is a graduate of Cornell Agricultural College. There will be lectures by experts in agricultural work. All the tuition on this farm is given free. The farm is ideal, because it is so general in its scope, embracing many branches of farm work. Besides the crops it offers dairying, poultry-raising, etc., and there is a large fruit orchard. The women are to live on the farm and to have training in all branches of the work so that they will know not only how to do it themselves but will be fitted to give instructions to others in the future. Plan "Farm Shower" In order to help furnish and equip the buildings on this farm, 'the Illinois Branch of the Woman's Land Army is planning to have a "Farm Shower" in each town on the north shore within a few days.

NSWERING a telephone call by saying "Hello"' is a custom which is rapidly falling into disuse. It means nothing to the person at the other end of the line and causes needless delay. By giving your name and the name of your firm, you identify yourself at once to the person calling, and the conversation proceeds without loss of time. WSS.
