and pick out certain tubers and
plant these requires great patience
and much time. You thus see WHY
and how certain potatoes may be

Small potatoes and few IN a hill,

Some potatoes cross with others
most happily, and others are
grouchy, glum and unsoeiable.
Potatoes like change OF soil

me say that six and seven hundred

But these tremendous crops are
mostly raised from seed carried
from Houltou, Me-, or East An

roses in California are slipped in

New York-Mrs o. II. P. Bel

denounced the jury's verdict of not
guilty as a great injuseice to labor
She declared that the working girls

will get no justice If such justice is
to conflict with any mans interest.
1t has always been SO and the verdict
rendered by the jury today proves that
conditions have not changed"
"The majority of women are
asleep" continued Mrs. Belmont '"The
working women, however, are waking
up to suffrage. The society women
the old sleeping beauties-are very
slow in waking up to the injustice be-
ing done their wage-earning sisters
and to themselves as well in being de-

But it is the wage-earning wo-
men who will lead the suffrage battle
to victory. The working people have
always led all reforms. 1t was the
