TO IMPROVE IT'S
SERVICE FOR WOMEN
Secretary Asks Suggestions From the
Wives and Daughters Of $4,000
Farmers.

WASHINGTON D. G., Sept. Ia
David F. Houston, secretary of Agri-
culture, within the next few days will
address letter to the women menr
bers Of $4,000 farm households
throughout the United States, request
ing them to give him information as to
how the Department Of Agriculture
can best serve the needs of the farm
women.
These letters will be addressed ITO
Housewives in the Homes of the Or.
fetal Crop Correspondents" and will
be sent to the full list of crop cor
respondents for transmission to tho
women members of their households.
With each letter will be supplied q
return envelope in which the women
can forward their suggestions
This inquiry results from the re.
ceipt of a letter addressed to the sec
rotary in which the writer said:
"The farm woman has been the
most neglected factor in the rural
problem and she has been especially
neglected by the national Department
of Agriculture"
This letter was written not by a
woman but by broad-mnided man
SO thoroughly in touch with the agri
cultural and domestic needs of the
country that his opinions have great
weight. Following the receipt of this
' he dot fra hot
the best way for the department to
learn how to give these women the
fullest possible aid and service which
their important place in agricultural
production warrants, was to write to
! the women themselves and ask them
to make their own suggestions.
In the letter these women are in
vited to give individual answers to
the letter or to discus the matter In
their church societies or women's or
CARNATIONS and submit answers rep
resenting the combined opinions of the
women of their entire communities
The answers are requested not later
than November Is, and this date Is Sc,
because it will give the women time
after harvest to consider the matter
and discuss it with their women neigh
bors
This letter will go to about twenty
leading farms in each of the twenty
eight hundred counties of the United
States Their answers. 1t is expected
will represent the views and opinions
of upwards of 100000 farm women
These answers will be carefully con
sidered by the specialists of the de
partment having to do with thai
branch Of agricultural activity.

January 10, 1907, while he was act
Ing governor Of the territory, General
Distin received a cablegram from
Jas. Wardell, deputy United States
marshal at Katalla, saying that there
We're forty people, among them nine
women and six children at Yakataga
without food and in distress. There
were ample provisions on kiak island,
but no means of transporting them to
Yakataga. General Distin the same
day took the matter up with Captain
Ainsworth, Of the Rush, that was at
Sitka. Captain Ainsworth replied
that the Rush's boilers were not safe
but this did not satisfy the acting
governor, who Immediately presented
the matter to the department al
Washington. January 18th. less thar
a week after the matter had come tc
his attention, he received cablegran
from Captain Ainsworth, at Sitka say
ing that the Rush had relieved the
distressed Yakataga men, women ane
children.

o'clock. After landing at Keokuk, the
boat went UP through the new lock
and after a run across Lake Cooper,

the landing where the boat was tied
up until leaving time. The govern
ment lock is capable of lift of forty
feet, but the difference between the
water level above and below the dam
Sunday was but thirtytwo feet.
The river is quite low, with many
sandbars and long stretches of sandy
shore high and dry. Some of the
bars are broad and fat and several
Iacres in size, while others stick w
tout of the water like miniature
mountains. AS the river drops, the
current gets faster and as cutting

that might stop some of the large
motorboats. Captain Mckenzie sait
yesterday the river may fall two fee

In the mutiny last month of the
Swiss guards Merry Del Val and the
pope apparently sustained Colonel Re-
pond. although Diminishing his nephew
who had been engaged as military in
structor of the corps. 1t is now I'M
derstood that he was sustained for
the time being only and merely for the
sake of maintaining discipline In the
corps.
In addition 1t is asserted that the
presence of Colonel Repond has arous-
ed strong hostility in all four Of the
military corps at the vatican. The
colonel, 1t is asserted shortly after
being called by Cardinal Merry Del
Val, to command the Swiss guards
conceived the idea OF creating new
military force in Europe by combining
all four of the armed corps at the vat
lean and making himself commander
in-chief
1t was this idea alone, 1t is asserted,
that was responsible for his making

guards into a real military body and
submitting them to such rigid daily
military training that they mutined.
The colonel is said to have hopee
with the showing thus made of the
Swiss guards to convince the pope and
| Merry Del Val of the desirability OF
making over the other corps into real
military bodies with himself as su
Ipreme commander.
AS all. three of the other corps-the
Noble guards, the Palatine guards OF

hardly have been possible Tor the pope
Ito make Colonel Repond their com
mander-in-chie without comforting or
him a title of nobility higher thar
those of his subordinate officers. The
colonel 1t is said, would not have re
fused such title.
! The belief that such was Colone
1 Responds ambition has now aroused
such degree of hostility amongst the
-four corps that it is generally believed
lin vatican circles peace can only come
with his retirement. In this event
the Swiss guards have announced they
