WHO THE NEW MISTRESS OF
THE WHITE HOUSE rs.

Washington. Dec. IS. 19l5.-The
new mistress OF the White House is
quite the Wilson type, plus the Virgin
ia manner and a southern love of life.
She was formerly Miss Edith Boiling.
daughter of the late William H. Boil
ing of wythville. Va. She was one of
thirteen children. nine of whom are
still living.
In 1896. Edith Boiling. a beautiful
girl. met Norman Gait. A short time
later they were married. This hap
pened while she was visiting her sis
ter. Mrs. Alexander Hunter Gait. He
was a vestryman In ST. Thomas
church in Washington and was gener-
Gus with his wealth and personal acti-
vities in the church until his death
eight years ago. After his death Mrs.
Gait continued an active member of
the same church. occupying the pew
her husband had possessed ever since
the church was built. Just after the
announcement Of her engagement to
the president, however. Mrs. Gait trans
erred her membership TO St. Marga-
ret's Episcopal church.
The presidents bride is not known
as college girl, though she conclud-
ed her education at Powells college
in Richmond, Va, after attending
Martha Washington college at Abing-
ton, Va, for some time.
She is fond OF music, flowers, eco.
nomics and light literature. Like all
good virginians. she is a good horse
woman and splendid driver. She likes
golf, and since her engagement to the
president he has attempted to teach
her some of the fine points OF the
game
On baseball and horses, she is a
fan, as much 80 as the president him.
self. She does not play tennis but is
great walker. enjoying long tramps,
sometimes for two or three hours
about town or along a country road.
She is not strenuous, however, and
could not be called athletic; is rath-
er one who enjoys good health and liv.
, ing. reasonable hours and prefers
healthful fun to late suppers.
Indication of her love of the open
is found in the frequent jaunts Mrs
Gait and the president took into the
country after the announcement OF
their engagement. On several occa
sions hampers Of picnic lunch were
loaded into the presidents big limou
sine. to be investigated during the
long ride over the rolling highways
of Virginia and Maryland.
Mrs. Gait is not a suffragist. 1t Is
not because she opposes suffrage. II
is because she never has gone deepl,
into the Issue. Mrs. Gait is OF a com
mercially successful family. Two Of
her brothers. Richard W. and
Julian d. Boiling, are now asso
ciated in the Gait jewelry firm, tho
oldest in tho city, established by Nor
man Galt's grandfather and now own
cd by Mrs. Wilson herself.

VOTES FOR WOMEN

(By Universal Franchise League)
The woman's place is in the home"
This is the time-honored argument ad-
vanced by all opponents of equal suf-
frage. Mr.. Taft used it, Mr.. Root used
il, Mr.. Nugent used it, Miss Bronson
used it-everybody, intelligent or ig-
norant, high or low, regarded it as the
unanswerable argument. Not long
ago. the s~uffragists of New York de-
cided to answer this argument by Civ
ing a practical demonstration Of its
meaninglessness under modern condi-
tons. The plan was to ask all the
women in New York City to remain
in their homes for one day. A simple
enough matter and surely not c~alculat-
ed to give o~ffense, for woman's place
is in the home. But what an uproar
was caused by the suggestion! Be-
hold the ants, instead of being pleas
ed, were fairly bursting with indigna-
ton and unmerciful in their condemn
alton of the women for proposing to
abide by their own time-honored pre-
cept that "woman's place is in the
home" For the women of New York
City to stay in their homes for even
one day would, they said, prove the
limit of lawlessness to which suffrag-

ALFALFA BETTER THAN VETCH

Many inquiries have been received
at State College at Brookings during
the past year regarding the wild Da-
kota vetch, Hosackia Americana, a
valuable wild legume which seems to
be increasing in abundance on our ma
tive ranges.
"The Dakota yetch is a plant
what resembling alfalfa, both in bios
som and leaf, but has finer and more
wiry stems and does not attain as
large a growth as alfalfa. While it
has a valuable place in the native
range, it is not at all likely that it
would compete with alfalfa or sweet
clover as a farm crop" says Manley
Champlin, assistant agronomist at the
college

Feeding Soft Corn

Prof. J. w. Wilson at State College
says, 81 would not advice cribbing soft
corn until cold weather, but would be-
gin right away swapping it out and
feeding to cattle. Better still, cattle
could be turned right into the corn
field. Let them do their own picking
and Of course let the hogs follow the
cattle to pick up the waste.
II know of no mill product to put
with soft corn to benefit it in any way,
especially ears which were picked
when they were In the milk.
1.-THE farmers of South Dakota
should keep more live stock and feed
the grain right on the farm instead Of
1t. With the high price of
sheep. and swine, the condi-
ton of the corn this year will do much
to increase the production of live
stock throughout the state. The soils
need the manure made by the live
and the big annual increase in
demands more meat"
Amount Of silage to Feed
can average COW weighing about
1000 pounds will eat 80 to 40 pounds
per day. Silage alone should not be
fed to dairy cows. Corn silage is a
fat and heat producing food. 1t does
not contain enough Of the milk and
producing elements. Corn
silage, alone, is not a balanced ration.
Some hay. preferably alfalfa, should
be fed in connection with 1t. In addi-
ton to the 80 pounds of silage an
average cow will eat about Is pounds
Of hay daily" says Prof. c. Larsen of
State College.

lists are prepared to go in order to
gain their ends"
But why all this excitement on the
part of the ants? Have they not in
sisted that "woman's place is in the
home?" Consistency, thou art indeed
a jewel"
Not only the ants, however, but all
New York was alarmed at the prospect
Of such a strike, for considering that
one-third of the women of voting age
in New York state work outside the
home; that women are employed in
all but three trades; that some i'm
portant trades, such as telephone SER
vice, are entirely in the hands of wo-
men, it was indeed a serious matter.
After all, the mere suggestion Of a
women's strike was enough to drive
home the point the suffragists wished
to make, so the event was indefinitely
postponed. To quote from a publish
ed statement of the Publicity Council
of the Empire State Campaign Com
mittee: This present agitation has
won from good friend and unwilling
foe alike, so telling a tribute to the
dignity of woman's labor outside of
the home, its ~far-reaching extent, its
tremendous respons bility, it's unescap-
able involvement in production, anu
facture and distribution, that it is

sunlight in feeding and sleeping quar-
ters, clean troughs, yards and pens,
and the use OF sheep as a disinfectant
in spraying the houses, or dipping or
spraying the hogs to free them from
parasites. A good balanced ration to
keep the stock in a healthy, thrifty
condition is also an important pre-
ventative measure.
Write to your experiment station,
stating what kinds of feed you have
available and what kind of pigs you
intend feeding, whether shotes, fatten-
ing hogs, or brood sows-asking for a
balanced ration suited to your needs,
utilizing the feed you have"
Va~ccinatins Brood Sows
at is much better procedure to i'm
munize sows before breeding, since
II has been demonstrated that it is not
advisable to handle a pregnant SOW"
says w. J. Wilson, assistant in serum
production at State College. Prob
ably most cases where loss of pigs
has occurred were due to rough hand
ling at the time of vaccination.
Vaccination with anti-hog cholera
serum as a preventative has proven
very successful. Nearly all raisers of
pure bred stock throughout the state
are employing this means of safe
guarding their herds, particularly the
hogs to be used for breeding purposes.
while the use OF serum is an added
cost to the hog industry yet at the
present time Is the only safe insur-
ance we have. 1t must be viewed as
as an investment rather than an ex-
pense."
Continuing Mr.. Wilson says, "If you
intend to vaccinate, do it this fall
and as an extra p%recaution, have the
work done before it gets too cold, for
unless you have a good warm place to
work in, results may not be equal to
expectations"

IF due precautions are taken
throughout the winter, there is small
likelihood that there will be any
trouble even though there are cholera

of spring and warm weather at the

BOARD MEETING OF
STATE FEDERATION

A meeting OF the board of directors
of the North Dakota Federation of
Women's Clubs has been called FOR
February Is and 26 in Valley City.
For the last two years the Advisory
Council has been called at the same
time. This year the council will not
be called until later In the year, as
the chairmen of a number of the de-
partments of work have served four
years and therefore retire this year be-
cause of the time limit. No officer or
committee chairman in the Federation
can serve longer than four years. The
chairmen who retire this year are
among the most efficient workers in
the state, and will be missed in the
advisory council. This is an import
ant meeting as the members Of the de-
partment of work for the ensuing two
years will be appointed at this meet
ing, and the invitations will be acted
upon at this time for the next annual
meeting OF the state federation which
will be held next October. It is likely
that Minot's invitation will be the one
to be accepted as the Federation has
not met in the northern part Of the
state for two years.

but breaches a sound doctrine such as
we have in the sermons we read
preached by patriachs of old. Mrs.
Buyer is fine musician and so is her

instrumental music and they are an
entertaining couple, carrying happi-

East at Once on Scouting
Exposition.

Valley City needs strong land
company that will be aggressive and
active and the need seems to have
been met with the organization Of the
Valley City Land Company, recently
organized by George A. Fridd and C.
K. Otto.
Mr.. Fridd is a pioneer citizen, we'll
known and liked, who has lived here
for years and is absolutely honest, up
right and trustworthy in every partic-
ular. Mr.. Otto was manager of the
Valley City Grocery Company but re-
Gently resigned in order to engage in
the real estate business. He was
elected president of the Commercial
Club which would seem to be about
as high recommendation as one
could receive.
The new company ought to meet
with hearty support Valley City
needs a company that will inaugurate
quill q SdIlpdlS1 IlCoC u1CA al Q
undertaking and every man and bust
ness house in Valley City ought to ex-
tend to the new company every en-
couragement as friendly assistance
within their power.
Mr.. George Mcpherson and C. X.
Otto will leave within a few days for
Iowa and Illinois points where they
will arrange for agents and do some
work looking to bring the buyers lat
er in the season. The work of listing
the land will be pushed rapidly now
and those having farms to sell should
get in line at once so that their farms
may be properly advertised by the
eastern connections.
