That women are ridiculed for trying, to save grain, for a famine is true, her- ta inly,, ridiculed hare; at home among the believe in saints, and by; thDse.wlio profess-tthe future fall of BbyIon and its attendant consequences. They think the Ihelp of women too linsignificarit' to fleet anything in thisxlirection. i President Young did not think : so, he bslieved in the ilnanclal ' ability men to systematically organize and institute such enterprises as i would ultimately-succeeIn produclDgr the greatest results. Ve have v repeatedly been told that all that women could I do in this respect would be i only as W drop In !i "1 ' the bucket.
