Agnes Heller belonged to that vast army of American working girls whose lives consist of "eight-hour days at so much per, with Saturday afternoon off." Agnes looked just like tho hundreds of other girls who thronged the busy cafeterias at noon choosing their lunches from the price list Instead of the menu. She had joined the ranks of the wage-earners when she was seventeen after having had two years and a half of high school. Her father died when she was but a child and Mrs. Heller had supported the family by sewing until it became too strenuous a task for her and then It was that Agnes left school to support herself and mother. She did the usual thing, entered a store and was put wherever there was a shortage of help until finally she was made a regular member of the sales force in the furniture department, which included curtains, rugs and draperies. Her salary, if it might be called that, was eight dollars a week when she started on her business career.

She worked in the same store for

seven years, during wmcn ume ner pay had slowly climbed to the dizzying heights of eighteen dollars a week

with an occasional additional commission for selling some white elephant in her department or some of

last year's stock.

Mrs. Heller s health continued to fail until Agnes found herself with the cares of the household and an invalid mother added to the hard work of her store duties When her mother died after her prolonged illness Agnes was left alone. Her grief combined with the worry and strain of her months of nursing caused a nervous breakdown and she was forced to' leave the store for an indefinite period. Rested Two Months She had saved some money, not much, but enough to keep her from worrying while she took a rest for two months. Then it became necessary for her to go back to work. They were keeping her position for

her at the store, but when she told ! her physician that she was going I back to the store he would not con-1 sent. He advised her to take at least one more month off before doing any kind of work. She insisted that it was imperative that she do something immediately and he finally said that if she found some kind of outdoor work she might regain her health. This sounded like an impossible plan to Agnes. She had never done

anything in her life but sell furniture and rugs and lamps and the like. To start something different after seven years of the same thing seemed to her not only impossible but foolish. The doctor was firm, however, and said he would have to give up the case if she would not follow his instructions. It was then Agnes realized the seriousness of her case and she sat down and tried to think of some outdoor work which she was qualified to do. It was hard for she knew of few kinds of work and those she could think of were Indoor jobs. She looked through the papers, hoping to get some help there and finally this ad. caught her eye:

WANTED Young woman to act as salesman in real estate office. Good opportunity for the right person. Box 22-Z.

That would surely be an outdoor

job and it would probably be short

hours and then, too, 6he certainly ought to be qualified to sell, for what else had she done eight hours every

day of the past seven years. She ap

plied for the position and got it. Her

time was practically at her own dis

posal and she was to be paid a commission on all of her eales. She found

the work far more Interesting than the work at the store and she regained

her health much more quickly than wa3 thought possible. It was but one Ehort year before she had become as successful as many of their best salesmen who had been in the business for years. She had more money than she had ever had before and she finally started Investing her own money in

ROY TOUT'S NAME

IS SUGGESTED FOR LOYAL LEGION POST

A young woman of Green6fork, who

has sent In the name of Roy Tout for an appropriate title for the local post of the American legion, eays:

"Unless I have been misinformed,

Roy Tout was the fir6t soldier killed

from Wayne county. I suggest either Tout Post, or Genn-Tout Post or

Wayne Crusaders. The fact that the

soldier boys are forming an organization is enough to merit their having a fitting name for it"

"Loyal Boys of Wayne" Is the sug

gestion of E. C. R., of Richmond, who says that "they came from all parte

of old Wayne, with souls aflame.

Boys of Wayne Post, American le

gion, is the suggestion of S. L. C.,

"because that is what it is really to be, and because that name embraces the whole object and includes every

boy that either gave ox offered his life in the world's conflict."

There is nothing of that which our

real estate, buying houses and lots

for herself when she saw a good buy, Bought Rooming Rouse

The year the war started building

was practically stopped and houses and even rooms were at a premium. Agnes decided to take a large old house which she had bought and furnish it up for a rooming house and then sell it. She went to her old department in the store and picked out complete furnishings at bargain prices for she knew the value of the things even better than the young girl who was selling them to her. Then she went to the manager and asked him If he would not give her a special price on the things because so many of them were odd pieces left from sets and old pieces a bit shopworn. He was glad to get rid of many of them and he made her a good reduction. Agnes then furnished her house completely, but plainly, and in good taste and at a figure far lower

than usual. She then bent her efforts to selling it for rooming-house pur- j poses. It was scarcely put on the market before a woman who wanted to make money for herself and family bought it. It was Agnes' first independent venture and she made one

thousand dollars on It. That gave

her an idea. Why not buy more house

and fix them up in the same way and

why not buy other houses and furnish

them and sell them for private homes?

It sounded like a good thing to her

and she knew from experience that it

was much easier to sell her houses

while the people were still living in

them and the furnishings were still in place than it was to sell bare, emp

ty houses.

And so 6he started In business for herself making a specialty of selling furnished houses and today she is the only person in a large city of some 700,000 who is successfully engaged in that business. Others have tried it but her knowledge of the furniture business combined with her selling experience and her two years in the real estate office have given her al

most a clear field. She has finally

recovered her health and would never

consider returning to indoor work of any kind. Her case Is one in a hun

dred where poor health, instead of j

bringing failure, brought unusual suo cess.

farmers are learning the value of vaccinating . their hogs more and more each year. Aside from this trouble the county has been remarkably free of hog disease, said Dr. Clem. The neighborhoods south of Richmond, around Boston especially, he said, have been rrfost seriously affected.
