JEANETTE RANKIN
WILL REPRESENT
NATIONS WOMEN
Feminine Congress Delegate
Tells State Suffrage AS
ISOLATION of Her Hopes

The first work of the new year
which opened with the annual con-
vention held in New Haven last week,
is the perfecting Of county organiza-
ton. In former years much of this
work has had to. be suspended during
the winter on account of the Difficult
ty Of reaching many of the towns when
the roads are unfit for autos. This
year it. will be possible to continue the
work for the reason that there is In
each town a nucleus Of suffragtsts who
will be able to do most Of the work
locally, thus relieving the state asso-
citation Of the necessity of sending
workers from Headquarters.
I. Mrs. Frederick Spencer Of Guflford,
who was the only new member elect
ed to the executive board Of the c. w.
s. A. and who is now the correspond
ing secretary of the association, is re-
sponsible for much of the excellent
work that has been done in that part
of New Haven county. Guilford Suf-
fragists- have distinguished them
selves by their keen interest in the
schools of the town, and by their
readiness to join in any scheme for the
betterment of their community. Like
the suffragists Of all parts of the state
they are urgent in their demand for
the establishment of the woman's re-
formatory, and also in demanding a
shorter working day for women and
children-two of the demands embod-
led in the resolutions passed at the an
nual convention. 80,
Immediately after the convention a
telegram of cengratulation was sent
in accordance with the resolution of
the cenvention-to Miss Jeanette Ran
kin the newly elected congresswoman
from Montana. Miss Rankin has re-
piled thanking the Connecticut Wo-
ing her determination to act in Con-
gress not as the Representative of the
women of Montana alone, nor yet as
the representative of the men and wo-
men of, Montana who elected her
though she hopes to do her best for
her constituents. She hopes also to
act as the representative of the wo-
men of the nation; for she is the sole
member of Congress to represent the
sex. while the men have 434 mem
bers to represent them.
The political policy of the Connec-
ticut Woman Suffrage association was
by the vote Of the convention left in
the hands Of the executive board. 1t
is the intention Of Mrs. Hepburn, the
president, and the other members Of
the board to bring Connecticut in line
with the other states in acting har-
moniously under the general direction
of the National associations line of
conduct made necessary by the grow
ing solidarity OF the American suf-
frage movement.

branches of plants which have been
attacked by disease or badly infested
by insect pests should be cleaned up
and burned. r
If it is possible or desirable to clean
garden before frost such areas may
well be sown to rye as a cover crop,
the growth to be turned under in the
early spring. incidentally, also,- the
patches of green will give the other
wise bare garden a clean and more
cheerful appearance during the winter.
It is after frost that cleaning is most
needed in the garden. When annual
plants have been nipped, those that
may harbor disease or insect pests
should be cut down or dug up and
burned. If the soft-leaved plants
which will rot easily are free from
disease and insects they may be
turned under advantageously at this
time: 1t is not well ,Shewever. to turn
under tree leaves, especially such
touch leaves as those from oaks. These
make valuable compost when rotted,
but usually require two years for
proper decomposition. They should
be collected and placed in a compost
pile or pit maintained in convenient
location. Soil, wood ashes, lime and
fresh manure should be mixed in the
compost heap.
The fall is the time to cut down as
paragus bushes. This should be done
after the foliage dies. The old canes
of black raspberries also should be
cut out at this time. If there is rea-
son to believe that the trimmings har-
Dor disease spores or insects, they
should be burned. Rhubarb leaves
should be removed in late fall, and
the crowns mu1ched with straw or
manure,

INTERNATIONAL
Eco CONTEST

For the third successive week the
White Leghorns have shown them
selves the best producers in the lay
ing contest at Storrs. This is quite in
contrast with the way the contest
started off year ago a which time
pen OF Barred, Rocks from Long
Island outlaid all others I'm the first
three weeks and not only this but they
maintained their lead for many weeks
thereafter. Miss Frances III. Merse-
reau's pen from West Wilmington, Ct,
were first with yield of 40 eggs.
Hilltop Poultry Yards from Suff1eld,
Conn.,, came second with s38, and E.
A. Billiards., pen from Chestnut Hill,
Pa, were third with a yield Of SO
eggs Merrythought Farms pen from
Columbia, Conn.,, followed these with
"a and the White Leghorn Club pen
from Springfield, ILL.,, laid 33 eggs du-
ring the week; thus it appears that
the White Leghorns are getting a good
safe lead before letting up at all in
their production. The total yield for
all pens amounted to 1,400 eggs as
compared with 1,341 in the third week
last year.
The hens in the laying competition
will enjoy a regular feast of green
food from now on until the grass
comes next spring. From a little
over half an acre plot lying right close
to the plant and on which plot a good
deal of hen manure was used the man
agement of the contest has just har-
vested nearly eighteen tons Of nice.
big, juicy mangel beets. There are
of course, other sorts Of succulent
food that can be used but all things
considered, that is to say, the cost
of producing, convenience in using and
the activity with which hens con-
sumo them, it appears that beets are
about as good an all around green
food as can be found.
The three best pens in each of the
principal varieties are as follows: 5.

The Significance Of these events, as

the diserganization Of the Russian
