Women as Gardeners.
' 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. This is

General Crowder says, it may be
(possible to arrange an order of

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. I
