Mrs. Agnes l.. Riddle of Denver has
the honor of being the first woman
elected to the state legislature from the
rural districts Of Colorado. Indeed, her
constituents regard her as a modern
Joan of Arc leading them to victory in
their fight for justice and recognition
due the farmers Of the state.
Mrs. Riddle is the wife of dairy
farmer, and that she is practical
helpmeet is evidenced by the fact that
she rises at o'clock in the morning to
prepare breakfast for the men on her
big dairy farm near Denver. who start
at 4 to deliver milk in the city. At Z
she has planned her farm work for the
day, and at her horse Is harnessed to
light buggy and she Is on her way to
Denver to attend to the legislative du-
ties of the day when that august body
Is in session.
Her duties there keep her at the cap
itOl until o'clock, and 6. her dinner
hour. usually finds her at home again.
Her evenings are devoted to the at
fairs Of the farm. Mrs. Riddle has been
for a number of years secretary Of the
Colorado State Grange association and
during that time has done much to
ameliorate the farmers condition. In
the twenty-five years since Mrs. Riddle
has been mistress Of the Glen Riddle
dairy farm she has improved the en-
tire farm system of the west by her ef-
forts in the legislature and her earnest
work in the grange.
1t is easy to guess why this untiring
worker in civic affairs is known in her
native state Of Colorado as 1.-The wom-
an who does things"
