Large Shipment OF
Cabbage Seed From
The LaConner Flats
A. 9. TiIlinshast and Sub.srowsrs
for Chas. II. Lilly Harvest
About 100000
Pounds

A. 6. Iillinghast, proprietor Of
the Puget Sound Seed Gardens Of
this place. made his initial shipment
OF cabbage seed. consisting Of Sc.
600 pounds, last Wednesday to D.
NJ. Ferry & Co., Detroit Michigan.
He made a second shipment later
and will make third still later
when he finishes the work Of clean
ing the seed.
His crop. that is his own and that
of his sub growers collectively fell
short about Is per cent. or instead
of it reaching 1000 pounds as
originally anticipated. it only pam
ned out about 100000. which was
owing to the heavy frost encounters
ed last March.
The quality of the crop this year
is splendid ard consists Of IA differ
ent varieties. So far as we have
been able to ascertain. John Thulen
is high man. in raising cabbage
seed this season, his record being
1900 pounds off Of six acres. Gust
Magnuson and Ben Lind also had
good yields recording 10 tons or &c.
900. pounds of 80 acres: while sew
seral others also report good yields
for an off year.
The c. n. Lilly sub growers pro-
duced about zoo. 900 pounds. which
added to the 160. 900 raised by Til
linghast and his sub growers. totals
$50, 900 pounds for LaConner and
the LaConner flats, which is certain
ly some record for an off year

Divorce Urged As
Deserted Wives
Road To Pensions
Plan Suggested To Them As A
Way 10 Obtain Relief
As Mothers.

The friends OF deserted Seattle
women with families are urging
them to get divorces SO that they
may be eligible for an income un-
der the mothers pension law pass
ed by the last legislature according
to report read by Miss Virginia
McMechen, secretary of the Charity
Organization Society,". at the quar-
terly meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the body at the Arctic Club.
Miss McMechen said she had discov-
cred that this was done. while con-
Quoting an investigation recently.
and also said that friends Of divorc-
ed women who own property and
are thereby Ineligible for a pension.
were urging them to put their pro-
perty in the name of some one else
and so become legally eligible to be
beneficiaries under the new state
law.
In her report Miss Men echen as
serted that in almost every home
she visited in the course of her dut-
les she found that the payment Of a
grocery bill would do little to ale
viate the distress.
Sickness. lack of thrift, laziness
many things chiefly due to ignor-
ence are at the bottom Of the dis
tress in most Of the homes we are
called upon to visit, she said. ssand
continued supervision. care and in
struction are necessary to contrib
ute any sort of real relief. Any sort
of temporary relief rendered if un-
accompanied by a following course
Of instruction and supervision is an
absolute farce.
Miss McMechen strongly advo-.
Gated the employment by the socie-
ty of a visiting housekeeper who
should 90 out to the homes of thLse
who were forced TO seek the aid of
charity and give object lessons in
wholesome and economical cooking
and sanitary housekeeping. A. H.
Albertson, Rev. Carter Helm Jones
Dr.. Park Weed Willis and W.. B..
Wolfe, were elected as new men,
bers of the directorate.
