enough pledged votes to be elected on
the first ballot. But, don't you know,
the ways of women with the ballot are
past finding out? The elusive flea isn't
in it with the way a woman will juggle
with her vote-just for fun She simply
hates to tell for whom she intends to
vote, and she is often known to say
that she voted for the winner when 1t
is perfectly well known that she didn't
do anything of the kind. Mrs. Gilman
is also a Past Department President and
woman of thoro charm of manner,
diplomatic. but most awfully firm when
the majesty of the law is her theme.
You will never come any games over
Mary Gilman or Belle Harris, either.
They simply detest Jobs" and can
scent 'em several Departments away.
Mrs. Gilman is also good parliament
tartan, and she knows Relief Corps law
from the ground up. You see. the Re-
lief Corps law was Born in Massachu-
sets; in fact, was filched from the Re-
lief Corps statute books of that State
when adopted in Denver. She has had
a lifelong association with dear first
National President Florence Barker,
Sarah z. Fuller and LiZabeth Turner,
and loves the work as mother loves
its child. So does Belle Harris. The
two women undoubtedly have the lead
for the place. The voters will have a
fight-no contest, for neither of
these women is fighting for the
place The voters will have a
strenuous time deciding which of the
two to select, and, having selected, will
probably go off and cry because they
could not vote for both.
Mrs. Jennie /. Berry. of Iowa. will
also be a candidate. and will undoubt-
edly develop a good deal of strength
Mrs. Berry is a young woman of great
strength of character, and will be Ma
tional President some time. but she can
afford to wait a little longer, when, with
ripened judgment and more years. she
can hold down our splendid organiZa-
ton. Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball, of Po-

All the names presented to the Ma
titnal Convention for the Presidency are
tackled onto mighty good women. You
can just shut your eyes and draw at
random from the list, and get woman
perfectly capable of running" things
for year and doing it right.
The Sunflower State is out en- masse
for Mrs. Belle G., Harris. 1t would be
difficult to find a more capable woman
than Mrs Harris. She is strong in every
way, bright. energetic, an excellent par
liamentarian. Past President of her De-
partment, Past National Senior Vice
President and now Chief of Staff. Ii
Mrs. Harris should not win out this
year she will be a formidable candidate
for next year.
Mrs Mary L. Gilman, of Massachu-

Bryan and the ve,ernn..

Editor National Tribune: note your
remarks in issue OF July 16 about the
Denver pension plank" Is IL not sur
prising how some people can swing
around to suit the occasion? And Mr..
Bryan is no exception to the rule. In
November, 1896, wrote an article for
a local paper calling the comrades at
tention to his letter of Nov. IS, 1892, in
which he said, "One cannot help being
curious to know how many more years
it will take to exhaust the generation
which feels itself injured by war 1t is
safe to say that never did generation
display such remarkable longevity" !

The 9th Pa. will hold Reunion at
Winchester, Va, Sept. 10, 1908, on the
occasion of the dedication of the State

 All mines today were once pros poets. The Homestake. as well as ali other dividend payers, Were once poor prospects, and sold their treasury stock at 9 cents per share or less.

About Pecan Culture.

We continually read in the news. papers Of phenomenal yields from De. can orchards. The profits from these orchards are almost fabulous and pc. can orchards undoubtedly pay the most handsome dividends Of anything known in horticulture. Pecans are the most valuable of commercial nuts and the supply can never equal the demand. The trees grow in any south ern soil and require but little atten- ton. Anyone wishing 10 improve his property should write 10 the Southern Nut Nursery Go, Of Lafayette, Louis lana, for their free catalogue about pecan culture. This concern owns and operates the largest pecan nur- sery in the world and makes a busi- nesi of selling pecan trees.
