his widespread appearance.
In reference to many inquiries from
farmers as to what course should be
pursued the coming year, the demon
strator says he is convined that the
generally accepted theory of “we can
raise one more big crop of cotton’’ is
wrong, and while he does not say this
can not be done he advises the farm
ers to turn to stock and hog raising
and diversified farming.
Mr. Clark says that his one plan
since he came to Richland has been to
hammer into the heads of farmers
that they must forsake the one-crop
system.

An official call to the conference
has been sent to labor organizations in
thirty-four countries, asking that they
send delegates to the conference. Each
country is entitled to ten delegates
and to ten votes on the floor of the
congress; also to one member on the
^executive committee. So far Finland,
Czeeho-Slovakia, Poland, France, Ja
pan, Belgium. England, the Argentine
and Canada have announced delegates
fpr the congress, Belgium being the
first to announce that Mme. Victoire
Cappe, who had been chosen to serve
as an advisor at the international la
bor conference called for October 29,
would arrive in the United States in
time to serve as one of the two Bel
gian delegates at the women’s con
gress. Margaret Bondfield, secretary
of the National Federation of Women
Workers in Great Britain, who will
also serve as an advisor to the British
delegation at the labor conference, is
coming to take her place on the floor
of the Congress of Working Women.
It was Miss Bondfield who, during
her visit to the United States In the
spring and early summer, presented
to the Women’s Trade Union league,
assembled In the seventh biennial
convention of that organization in
Philadelphia in June, the resolution of
the standing committee of the Wom
en’s Industrial Organizations of Eng
land that the American league be
asked to call an International Con-
grss of Working Women to meet in the
UJttted States In the autumn. Such a
conference had been previously dis
cussed by women’s labor organizations
of varions countries and would have
been held in a European city probably
had not the League of Nations society
decided upon Washington as the meet
ing place for an International labor
conference.
The committee on international re
lations of the Women’s Trade Union
league, which is in charge of the con
gress, has as its chairman Mrs. Ray
mond Robins, president of the league;
Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the wom
en’s bureau of the United States de
partment of labor; Miss Agnes Nestor,
vice president of the International
Glove Workers’ union; Miss Julia
O’ConnorYpresident of the Balupkone
Operators’ union, and Miss Rose
Schneidermann, president of the New
York Women’s Trade Union league.
In discussing the congress,-Mrs.
Robins says: “Women must come for
ward now’ and accept theli* responsi
bilities. They can no longer have their
affairs attended to by proxy. Men
cannot bear the entire responsibility
for the world. They must be assisted
by .women, and the women should
come forth willingly, prepared to take
up their shdre of the burden of see
ing that things go right with the world.
At the Congress of Working Women
we will discuss problems affecting
women which we, as women workers,
are particularly able to consider, that
we may recommend^ow conditions of
the labor of women and children can
be improved.” ,

teadent of education, has forwarded
