I said the Amish People of Elmira had made eighty cook stoves in the past year. Somehow the "y" was left -ff making it eight. Mrs. A. Downes, Mrs. RhY Elliott, Mrs. Jack Stapleton and Mrs. E. Foster went to Elmira which is north of Waterloo on Saturday to see the Amish Market there. They went with the Newton- ville Women's Institute.
