Everyone who has been to Norfolk
recently comments upon the illumina'

Nothing tends to give place an ar

any harm TO display good fortune

the most progressive municipality OF
its size in the East. largely because
Norfolk never allows anyone to forget
that she is alive and on the map, The
lighting of the principal business
streets Is an example of the methods
employed by the boosters across
Hampton Roads; they not only adver-
tise their town and its advantages to
the world at large-they take pains to
create and maintain an atmosphere oil

that there is something doing even

The earth has grown old with it's bur-

A Land for New Homes

Do you realize the excellent chances of future benefits bound to
accrue to you, If you make your new home in the Big Horn Basin
of Wyoming!
You can homestead a Government Irrigated farm or buy one
outright from private corporations, in either case on very easv
terms, and your farm will be located in a scenic country of splendid
climate, protected by grand mountain ranges with coal, high grade
oil, natural gas, timber, stone and cement material, all around you.
Add to this the fact that the Burlingtons new Wyoming main line
will traverse the heart OF that country and you have not only a de-
srable place TO live, an excellent market for your products, but an
absolute certainty of greatly increased value to your lands. Does
not the history of land values that has gone on under your own OBJ
servation make this plain to you?
MONDELL 800 ACRE LANDS in Northwestern Wyoming are
going fast. The government land Offices in that locality are having
an unprecedented rush of work receiving filings from homestea ders
coming from all parts of the country, who realize the value OF these
lands and the excellent character of that country for a home.

DOG CUSTODIAN OF JEWELS.
Boston Bull Takes Gems to Mistress
Every Night.

New York-Persons at the Plaza
were surprised the other day to see a
Boston bulldog leave the Office in that
hotel with a Russian leather jewel
case held between his teeth, and, fol
lowed by maid, walk to an elevator
and enter it. They were more sur
prised when they learned that the
jewel case contained gems worth sew
eral thousand dollars, the property of
Mrs. BENJAMIN B. kirkland of Phila-
delphia who, with her husband, is
staying in the hotel.
Mrs. Kirkland has found that Cap
tain, the bulldog, is a faithful mes
senger, and has intrusted to him each
evening the task of going to the office
to get the jewels she is to wear at
dinner.
Captain came to the Plaze with Mr.
and Mrs. kirkland from the Hotel
Ritz, Paris. A Russian leather jewel
case is the only article he will carry
in his mouth, and while he is the Gus
todian of the jewels he makes no
stops on his journey. The maid who
accompanies him as measure of pro-
lection seems to be superf1uous, be-
cause the dog goes directly to the Of

case, goes Immediately to Mrs. Kirk

HOW ONE SOCIETY SOLVES THE
SERVANT QUESTION.
German Housewives in New York Give
Rewards to Maids for Faith
full Service to Its
Members.
Copyright by waldon Fawcett.

New York.-The managing director
of the German Housewives society,
which at its recent -c-,ns.s =. 1s.. meeting
awarded premiums to 40 servants for
faithful service, declares that the
members of the society know nothing
of the difficulty of the servant prob
lem which is driving suburbanites
from their country homes and city
householders into apartment hotels.
The Hausfrauen Verein does not
belong to the City Federation of Wom
ems Clubs and it's members are
not long on social uplift or economic
progress. Equal suffrage is barely a
name and the glories of the Daughters
of the Revolution have hardly been re-
vealed to them.
Instead they are band of women
who cling tenaciously to the idea,
rapidly becoming obsolete, that the
eternal job of woman is to make a
comfortable home. It is just con-
viction, but SO deep that they managed
to strike at the roots of the servant
problem, while their sisters who es-
TEEN themselves brilliant and intellec
tual confess themselves beaten.
The Housewives society is versa
tile. It acts as an employment agency
for it's members. 1t gives free services
to employees in various ways. 1t en-
courages servants in all the domestic
patience and tact. Mrs. Theresa G.
Schmidt, the managing director, is
full of help for the servants who come
to her seeking places.
Twelve years ago, before the days
of employment agency reform, few
German women arose in revolt against
the ways of employment agencies and
formed society to serve the same
purpose in a more satisfactory man
ner. This antedated the days of the
servant problem in its present serious
aspect, but these careful housewives
recognized disturbing influences be-
low stairs and built their society to
meet them.
According to Mrs. Schmidt, the Sc
cret of happiness among the German
housewives is deep seated objection
to a continual change of maids.
