great attention was paid to Vermont's
little delegation. We were visited and
addressed by representatives of nearly
every state, by such men as Mr.. Everett
Gov. Andrew, Mr.. Mclean and An

understood that we were to compliment
Judge Collamer with our first vote, our
final vote was eagerly sought. And
when on the second ballot, Vermont be-
ing the third state called, our chairman
Gov. Peter T. Washburn, rose and in
his splendid voice announced Vermont

Wigwam lost no time in informing the

A Woman and Her Money

Jasper in Leslies.
 What shall woman do with her money? It all depends on how much money woman may have. Strange to say, many of my inquiries from women ask for advice in reference to securities in which they can speculate or take a gamble" But in the major ity of cases. safe, sound conservative investments are sought by women
 The speculative field seems to be particularly inviting to women of small means. Then often write that they must increase their incomes and want to find way to do it quickly in Wall street. Only one answer can be given to all such inquiries and that is to beware of the dangers of specu- lation and to put small accumulations into securities of the highest class.
 Many women who receive per cent from savings banks, and who wish a larger income with as much security as the savings banks give ask for sug- gestions. To these the response is that their money can be safely invested in the same class of securities that the savings banks buy with the money of their depositors. These banks are limited by law to the purchase of what are called 'gilt-edged" securities, though sometimes. but rarely bonds legal for savings bank investment prove to be anything but gi1t-edged
 Among the most attractive and safest bonds outside of governments, are those of cities. Because these are free from income tax they have been es- pecially in demand and their yield is very little over per cent in the east ern states, though in the west and the south some yield nearly Az per cent High class railroad bonds can be bought to yield from Az to per cent T mean the bonds that savings banks are permitted to buy.
 There are those who believe that the bonds now offered by foreign govern ments and that yield ) and and even better are well secured, but this is an eXhausting war, and there are always possibilities, though not probabilities of sealing down or repudiating war debts
 A woman with few hundred dol lars might best be content to leave her money in the savings bank at per cent if she wishes to avoid all trouble and anxiety. Yet in these days when bonds of the denomination of $100 can be bought so easily, a larger income can be secured by turning ones funds into these. There was a time too when first class real estate and farm mort gages could not be had in small de- hoHiindtiohs. fupilc utlllty oondS yleld = ing from to per cent have also come into vogue within recent years The popular method of buying bonds on the partial payment or installment plan has also offered ready oppor- tunity to the thrifty to make their funds profitable.
 No matter whether it is man or woman care should be exercised in making an investment. It is not diff cult to inquire carefully mot the char acter of the security that is offered and, with common business sense. to judge to some degree of it's merits.

Using the Military Rifle
From Outing.

Military rifle shooting, after a certain degree of skill has been attained, is a fascinating sport, There is peculiar joy in bringing up the white disc" (the signal for bulls eye) at 1000 yards that is not just like anything else in the world. though akin to the soul-satisfying smack of we'll driven golf ball There is no short cut to proficiency, however, and the recruit is put through the various stages or position and aiming drill. sighting practice, tub-target machine. and gallery practice before he gets out on the range and begins with service charges al full size targets. e-s

Farm Hands SuppIanted

A labor-saving agricultural machine, described in the Popular Mechanics Maga- zine, dispenses with harvest hands em- ployed in the field in loading grain to be stacked or to supply a threshing machine. It is called shock loader and will fill a wagon rack in less than two and a half minutes. It weighs G2S00, is drawn by four horses. and is operated by the driver alone. The principal parts of the machine are the 'pickers'' and three car riers. The pickers, whose position is analogous to that of the cutting knives on a binder, lift the bundles of grain and deposit them on carrier by which they are transferred to a horizontal carrier at the rear; from this theg rain is raised on an inclined elevator and dropped into wagons which move alongside the ma chine. The pickers are six-inch spikes fastened to a six-foot steel bar They grasp the bundles and the turning of the bar deposits them the carrier. The pickers also gather up the loose grain about the shocks. A 20-inch drive-wheel operates the carriers, pickers, etc. The machine will do the work of several men pitching bundles in the field and can load six wagons fast enough to supply a threshing outfit as rapidly as 12 wagons can under the old method. This loader is also used advantageously in loading alfalfa for it does ont shake off the dry leaves as is done in hand loading.

Campnes, both Silver and Golden, are now on the wave of popularity among American poultry breeders, The Golden Campine Is of recent introduction, and probably less known than the Silver Campine, which enjoyed short-lived boom in America about IS or 20 years ago. About seven years ago an enthu- siastic fancier, knowing the economic and decorative value of the real Silver Cam pine, imported and bred some specimens of this fowl possessing real merit. He used plenty of printers ink and made many exhibits of the fowls, together with their eggs at the large poultry shows For many years Silver Campine eggs have won virtually all prizes offered on the best white eggs at the Boston poultry show, feature that has probably done more to popularize the breed than it's beauty of plumage

"rr5E EDEN SPHINX

By Annie Riley Hale, No. 6 West Six
 ty-sixth street, New York.
 "The Eden Sphinx by Annie Riley Hale. has the following "dedication,' which shows its purpose and intent. The author says: Dedicated to my suf- fragist and feminist sisters whose mis- guided activities in wrong paths have inspired this humble effort to find the right one.
 In "foreword.' she continues: Woman is potentially greater factor in the world than man; but in ac tuality, at present she is less influen- tial than he. Why? To find rational answer to the question, is the aim of these chapters. The suffragist's expla- nation is wholly inadequate. The claim of some anti-suffra gsts, that woman is already the controlling force in society and in government, is equally untenable. The feminists have evolved some truth-mixed with much rubbish Biologists and psychologists, when unbiased, afford the most help. Per haps from a candid study of all the various contributors to the problem, we may get some light on the puzzle pie Jure.

It would be interest ing to make an exhibit. of the endless ways in which the products of the pout- try yards are used in the thoroughly down-to-date American kitchen. Winter and summer the demand is the same, ab- solutely inexhaustible. Prices vary im- mensely at different seasons; but the cost of production and the bulk produced also vary in like proportion.
 Cold storage also, while it has wrought havoc at times in the markets, will more and more have a steadyng influence on the prices through the year. Looking at the matter from any possible point of view the prices and the markets for the poutryman's products appear practically certain to continue everything that is de- sirable During at least half the year strictly fresh eggs command readily from 40 to 50 cents dozen. The demand even at this price is never supplied in any DOT tion of the northern United States
 During the 10 years from 1900 to 1910 the quantity of poultry in the United States increased about r per cent At the same time the value per head of all kinds of poultry greatly increased The number of eggs produced the first decade of this century was 10 per cent over the preceding decade; but the value of the eggs is said to have been doubled.
 Since eggs can be matched by tens of thousands according to modern methods, chickens brooded in equally large num- bers, laying fowls handled with small risk in flocks up to 800 or more, while the markets are exhaustless and prices still advancing the possibility of big business in poultry culture is well assured--always allowing that the right man is at the head Of things
