' It was not so long: ago that women working in the field < were regarded curiously. It J . was permissable for them to dig 1 i_ a! _ .l a fc . 1 in tne aire in tneir nower Deas. But public sentiment made beans and potatoes quite different. It 1 was expected that the wives of aliens would spade and hoe in the field. But it was regarded &3 one evidence of their pathetic struggle for foothold in life. Now in every back yard the women are hoeing and seeding as if they were men. Their costumes are not always appropriate. One sees them at it in tailored suits and starched light dresses. But probably they only went out to peep at their ' back yard nurslings and couldn't resist the temptation to clean up a little around them. The old prejudice referred to is simplya legacy from the times when women. sat in the house 1 and dd embroidery, carried smelling salts and fainted on slight provocation. In those times th&y were really frail. They would have got sunstroke . if they attempted operating a i hoe. The modern girl brought up in in athletic way is just about as strong as a man of her size. Most garden work does not call for heavy exertion, after the plot is once ploughed and prepared for seed. Weeding is hard to the novice not because of muscular effort, but on account of the cramped positions of the body. There is much in getting used to it and in suitable dressing. When women learn , that they will find it not very burdensome. I And the returns in health and < vigor will be apparent. After a < good summer in the garden \ many of our women will wonder what has become of those per- 1 sistent headaches and nervous \ spells they used to have. The | Old Man will have to pay good sized butcher's bills for the meat | they will eat. but at least the t doctor won't be called so j frequently. I Call 'Em by Name. 1 "Men appreciate heing called : by name unless they are fugitives from justice," reads a wellphrased line which we saw recently in a magazine devoted to advertising. This epigram is also a truism, and experience has taught us all that nothing helps more to create a friendly spirit between a merchant and his patrons than this personal i. ?. toucn. * Try to learn the names of as many of your customers as you can, and greet them by name whenever you see them. The chances are that there are not many fugitives from justice in your t>atron8 and the rest will like this little attention. Dave Grist, of the Yorkville Enquirer, has returned from a trip to the Central West and of the many things he saw was a variety of cotton which he terms N "bumble-bee" cotton.

Our Preparation tar War. Following is a brief summary what the United States has accomplished in the past five months in the way of preparing for war: * Passed the selective draft law and put it into effect. Created a National army of 587,000 men, some of whom are already in camp and all of whom will be shortly. Turned vacant fields into 16 large cities, with sewerage, waterworks, roads, heating and lighting syBtems, where these men will be trained. * Increased the regular army to Its full strength?900,000?by voluntary enlistment Increased the National Guard to 500,000 by the same means. ' Sent tens of - thousands of troops abroad, with equipment Floated a bond issue of $2,000,000,000 by public subscription. Provided for a loan of $3,000,000,000 to our allies and turned over a large part of it. Appropriated $1,134,500,000 for shipbuilding; $640,000,000 for airplanes; arranged for expending $350,000,000 for destroyers. Raised $100,000,000 for the Red Cross by popular subscriptions. Passed a food control and price-fixing law; fixed the prices on wheat and coal. Placed an embargo on the shipment of supplies to neutral lands. Prohibited the manufacture of whiskey during the war.

J Bread aid Baiacat "It is reported," says a North J| Dakota paper, "that one of Har- t< vey'a fastidious newly-married J1 ladies kneads bread with her gloves on." This incident may be somewhat peculiar, hut there * are others. The editor of this paper needs bread with his shoes on; he needs bread with his J pants on, and unless some of s the delinquent subscribers of this old "Rag of Freedom" pays ? up. before long he will need bread without a dam thing on. This wail should be sufficient to make the delinquent subscribers come across with the coin.
