as much work out of team as any

as much work out of a team as any
man.
Because Of the splendid manner in
which the women have risen to the
occasion in this respect, we feel JUS
titled in the belief that we are going
to pull agriculture through this crisis
in spite of many apparent insuperable
difficulties.
I'VE realize that the problem Of
making as much progress as we
should in war time presents it's handi-
caps. Among these, in addition to
the shortage of farm labor already In
Dictated, is the difficulty Of obtaining
sufficient supplies Of fertilizers and
modern machinery that are so neces-
sary in farming to the greatest adj
vantage now. Then there is the
shortage in shipping tonnage, re-
stricting at many turns our require
ments in the matter of supplies from
overseas.
I'VE have asked the farmer to
maintain the full cultivation Of the
soil and the upkeep Of his focks
and herds during the course Of the
wax, and to increase them whenever
possible. Under the unparalleled diff
fcultleS encountered ne mas respond
ed wonderfully. The difficulties Of
this particular season will be under
stood, in view of our efforts to re-
place with women the men absent
from the soil.
Owing to the custom being
against women working on the land
in England the problem has been par
ticularly difficult. The English type
Of farm laborer Is highly skilled and
a fine fellow. He would rather have
his own women folk looking after the
home and maintaining the children
and working less about the farm.
THE only English counties in which
exception is found to this attitude or
where women work habitually on the
land are Northumberland, Cumber-
land and Westmoreland and parts Of
Durham"

AsoUITH HINTS At PEACE.
Says Germany Must Free and Repay
All Lands Invaded.

London, Aug. 3.-Speaking in the
commons, Premier !Asquith asserted
that it was an essential condition to
peace that Belgium and Serbia be re-
stored. not only politically, nationally
and automatically, but materially and
economically, to the positions In which
they stood before the war. The de-
vastated districts of France and Poland
will be similarly treated.
The premier was discussing the res
outions of the Paris economic confer
ence He said the British government
had entered the conference with two
objects in view. The first was to con-
vince the central powers that the en-
tente allies, whatever their views on
the economic policy, were resolved to
wage war in complete unity and de-
termination in economic as in military
spheres. The second was to make
preparations for the period following
the declaration of peace, in view Of the
known attitude and will of the Ger
mans
"Our eyes have been opened" the
premier said, las TO the meaning of the
manifold qualifications Of the German
system of economic penetration and
commercial and financial control of
vital interests and the use to which
with advantage tbs system could be
put in time of war;
Germany, Mr.. Asquith said. would
be animated with the same spirit when
the war was over. The Germans al
ready were organizing their industries
for an attack on the markets of the
entente allies. he said. and for a Wig
orous. if possible, attack on neutral
markets
The Germans would start with OBJ
vious advantages, the premier con-
tiuued, through their action in de-
stroying the works and factories in the
invaded countries. and because Of the
fact that they had large maritime
feet safely interned in German and
neutral ports it would be necessary to
make preparations for the coming of
peace and the resolutions of the con-
ference represented the general lines
upon which these preparations would
proceed.
''rhe attention Of the government"
continued the premier, has been call
ed to the fact that some apprehension
has arisen in neutral countries, more
especially in the United States, with
regard to these resolutions-that the
resolutions might be directed against
neutrals. That is not the case

Something to Regret.

In washington hotel lobby the
other night reference was made to
the wonderful thoughts Of the little
folk, when this incident was recalled
by Congressman j. Edward Russell,
Of Ohio:
One afternoon little Bessie sat in the
kitchen watching her mother weave
a hot iron through the dainty frills of
some white frocks. The day was warm
and mother looked somewhat weary.
Mama" finally remarked the little
girl in sympathetic voice, isn't it
very hard work to 'front.'
Eyes, dear" answered the mother
with soft sigh, Sometimes it is very
hard"
For a moment the little girl thought
fully communed with herself, and then
her face became brightly Illuminated
ooh, mama!" she enthusiastically
exclaimed. wouldn't it have been
great IL you had married China

PRESIDENT ASKED TO ACT.
United States Chamber Of Commerce
Appeals for Intervention.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The, White
House yesterday was Informed that
there is the gravest danger of rail-
ruaG STRIKE of nationwide proportions
and a direct appeal was made to Pres
ident Wilson to take immediate action
to avert the general paralysis which
would result If such strike should
develop.
Washington has long known of the
dispute between the railroads and the
100000 employees involved, but has as
sumed that one side or the other would
give way. The declaration of Harry
A. Wheeler Of Chicago, representing
the Chamber of Commerce of the Unit
ed States, has put the situation in a
new light. Mr.. Wheeler Is convinced
that the railroads and the employees
alike will refuse to give way and that
neither side will even concede enough
to permit arbitration.
Copies of thfs letter have been sent
to the railroads. the employees, the SEN
ate and the house.
No attempt is made to predict the
decentralization to business which q
single days strike would precipitate.
This has already been presented in the
senate, where the only result has been
the lodging of resolution with COM
mittee which has not been able to as
semble quorum, although the strike
vote is already being counted. Mr..
Wheeler merely asks the president to
make his own inquiry and verify the
facts as he states them.
Unofficially it is stated that If the
president refuses to take immediate
action a general alarm will be sent
turnout the country to the 700 COM
mercial bodies in the chambers menu
hership, and concerted demand from
the great trade interests of the coun-
try will result. Business men believe,
however. that the president will recog-
nize the peril Of delaying.

Cattle.
Cattle offerings were scarce and
prices ruled strong.
Rains in Western Iowa and parts
of western Illinois the past two days
are calculated to check generous
movement of grass cattle in the near
future, although moisture was not
plentiful enough to give the country a
good wetting, and more will be needed
to assure a moderate movement OF
pasture Steers from those points with
in the next few weeks.
Some rejuvenation of beef demand
is looked upon with pleasure in the
II tod CT
for all the fat cattle today. and there
is expectancy now that these grades
which are becoming much shorter in
the supply than few weeks ago, will
draw away in price to a substantial
premium over the short feds and
grasserS. A stronger and higher
prospect is ahead for the long feds,
but there is big run of grass steers
due here and at the river markets in
the next few weeks, and these Will
need be distributed to balance trade
requirements, if further breaks from
the July high spots are to be averted.
Kansas movement Is yet being held
in check, although some liberal runs
Of grassers from Kansas pastures
were marketed in the west early this
week, and prices they brought were
disappointing. Much Of the Kansas
pasture stuff is on money losing value
now. having cost high as feeders, and
as long as grass is at all fit to carry
them there is prospect Of owners be-
ing in no rush to sell.
Sheep.
There was active demand for sheep
and lambs.
Compared with the close OF last
week lambs are largely on STEADY
to strong basis, while rangers ruled
unchanged to a dime higher. Sellers
considered that such prices were sat
isfactory in the face of increased re-
ceipts and willingly unloaded offerings
The keen packer competition was re-
sponsible for the values being well
sustained as lambs were more numer-
Gus in the aggregate than other class
