KING CENTER NEWS
PROFITABLE SUPPER

The King Center beet dump is do
ing a rushing business this week.
About 800 tons of beets go over the
dump each day and an average of
1900 tons a week is easily maintain
ed. Over $4,000 pounds were taken
over the dump on one load with four
horses. Earl Spillars' one span of
horses drew 5000 pounds of beets
over the dump in one load. The su-
gar content of the beets is exception
ally low, not only here, but in every
part of the valley. 1t is thought to
be on account of the open fall. Some
of the beets made a second growth
and still others making the third
growth. A sharp cold snap would
probably be of great benefit to those
whose beets are still in the ground.

voted in. think the voters should
go to the polls November 7th and
vote against the "beer amendment"
and for the herd law. Some one said
we do not need the herd law. 1t may
be that the cattle men do not need it,
but the farmers do and as Uncle Sam
has given us the land to make homes

few cattle men force US to put up

I will admit that good fences are
improvements to the country but we
are not all supplied with the means of
doing all this in one or two years.

price of beef will be advanced. I will
admit that 1t will be advanced some
but the quality will also be advanced.

WOMEN OF AUSTRIA TO
MOBILIZE lNDUSTRlALLY

Vienna-Under the joint auspices of
the Austro-Huagarian ministry Of wal
ana the Austrian Women's organiza-
ton. the women Of Austria are about to
be industrially 'mobilized." The un-
dertaking is the result firstly of the
work Austrian women have done
since the war. and secondly Of a num-
Der OF conferences Austrian feminist
leaders and club women have had with
the minister of war and his aides. 1t
Is proposed to enlarge as asst as pos
sible the industrial and commercial
flelds In Which women are now active
and to add new branches in which they
may become so, the purpose of the
movement being to liberate for military
service all men whose places can be
filled by women and to give more Of
them an opportunity to increase their
incomes.
The attitude Of the Austrian
government in the matter was ex-
planned in a statement given to the
press: The front is at present the do
main of every BILE bodied man." says
the announcement. while the woman
working for the army is the soldier at
home" 1t is then pointed out that
every woman who works in a produce
tive capacity assists the army, firstly,
by releasing some man to do military
duty. secondly. by keeping the eco
nomic machinery of the country in mo-

front would fare badly.
thousands of Austrian women are
already doing work which men former
ly did. Indeed in the branches in which
they are employed are many which
formerly admitted no women. The
street car conductresses have been a
success from the start. as have also
the emale postal employees. including
the women drivers and chauffeurs of
mail vehicles. On the railroads they
have also been very successful, espe-
cially as telegraph operators, ticket
agents, and freight department Off
Gals. Most Of the clerical work of the
various governments is being done by
women. Firms whose male employees
were called to the color have been
obliged to replace these by women. In
the ammunition factories thousands OF
women are said to be doing excellent
work. In a plant visited some time ago
by the Associated Press correspondent
the female employees formed over so pei
cent Of the entire staff. e the heavy
]athes on which the large shells were
being turned were manipulated by
women. A few Junos were handling
huge ladies with molten steel like q
kitchen spoon. Wome already worl
in mines. mills. factories generally
wholesale and retail houses. and thi:
years generous crop was largely ais
by them.
One OF the special aims Of the presen'
movement Is to train women for execu.
tive work. so that the men engaged IL

A feature Of the scheme is to pro.

the three persons who operate 1t. They
can not leave their posts at any time dur
Ing the day, SO that any loss can easily

side of each cage is a stand Of small draw
ers. Into these Is placed the money that Is

One of the most interesting characters
and features in this bureau. Is a man who
engraves the portraits on the bills. He Ia
regarded as the finest engraver In this
country, If not In the world. His name il
G. +. c.. Smillie. He comes from a re-
family of genuine artists. His
father was James Smillie. who, it is said.
was the best landscape engraver In this
country. His cousin. James ID. Smile. Is
called the best etcher in the world. George
III. Smile Is a celebrated painter in New
York, and secretary Of the National Acad-
envy OF Design. This official portrait ar
fist of the government. this wonderful en-
graver in the bureau OF engraving, has
made over $50 portraits of famous persons
In the world, and over 100 vignettes. In
addition to those of the presidents, he has
made those OF all the rulers of the gov
ernments of South America, Queen Vic
toria. Porfirio Diaz, Don Pedro. King AL
fonso of Spain, and many others. While
President Mckinley was at the White
House he suggested that an historical col
lection of the portraits of presidents be
made and Mr.. Smillie has executed those
of Mckinley. Roosevelt and Taft, and Is
now at work on that of President Wilson.
These portraits are all photograph size.
Perhaps Mr.. Smillie's portrait in miniature
of Alexander Hamilton has attracted the
most attention. This Is in ova form.
measuring three-eighths of an inch. with
the face scant %one-quarter of an inch.
Mr.. Smlllie's work Is not solely confined
to portraits. Not long ago he had on ex-
hibition at the society Of %engravers. a
beautiful piece OF work, showing q Mexi-
can senorita with the liberty cap, the
eagle and snake coat of arms as a shield.
representing the Republic Of Mexico. At
the Panama exposition there will be shown
moving pictures of Mr.. Smile at work In
this bureau. He possesses probably the
finest collection OF steel e~ngravings in h
world. This he has been getting for moro
than Is years. and the great majority Of
them nave been gifts from the designers.

ready several hundreds OF orphan Ser
bian children have been sent from Saloni-
XII to France where they have been pleced
in French families that have volunteered
to look after them.
Meanwhile, Madame Grouitch, the Amer
lean wife Of the Serbian under secretary
for foreign affairs. has established a fund
in the hands of Constantine Mela. of Ath-
ems. by which a franc a day is paid for
the support of the needy children of Ser
bian officers and functionaries OF the Ser
bian government.
Every Often" she explained to the Asso-
ciated Press representative, the families
and especially the orphan children Of peo-
pie of this class suffer more than those Of
the poor. Those who have never had
much soon adjust themselves even to the
hardships that have accompanied this
war. 1t is those who have had every
thing and lost 1t all that are to be pitied."
Mrs. Grouitch should know whereof she
speaks. for when she and her husband
left Serbia they were forced to make
their way through Albania afoot. and
they arrived in Athens only with what
they stood in.
In addition to these provisions for the
larger children. the babies too are being
cared for, in preparation for the new gen.

remaking of their land. In Nish the
Mabel Grouttch baby hospital. though in
the hands of the invaders. still shelters
its tiny charges. who are under the
watchful eyes of the American doctors.
and nurses who remained in Nish when
the Serbs themselves were forced to flee
the victorious Bulgars.
A great many Serbian babies. however.
We're brought out of the country by their
mothers or relatives. and not a few nave
been born since the exodus. For these
Queen Sophie, of Greece, has made pro-
vision by setting aside a ward in her
babies hospital in Athens for the exclu-
sive care of Serbian babies. The ward
will accommodate 1O babies and it is IN
charge Of a competent Dutch woman.
The children, and adults as we'll. who
arrive in Athens temporarily destitute un-
til they can secure funds or work or get
into touch with relatives or friends, are
also provided for. The former municipal
hospital of Athens has been turned into
an emergency lodging house for refugees
from Serbia of this class, and Madame
Grouitch has given 5000 francs to start a
fund for the feeding and immediate sue
cor Of these unfortunates.
Generally speaking. the Athenians are
moved to do what they can to help the
Serbian refugees. One restaurant keeper.
for example. gives all Serbs 20 per cent
discount on their meals. There may be a
certain element of guilty conscience in
the readiness Of the Athenians to help
the Serbs. One day in an Athenian draw
ing room a Greek Of prominence. belong
ing to the kings party, was commiserat-
ing a Serbian lady on the fate which has
befallen her country.
What a pity" ne said, that the French
did not send more troops to the rescue

"Ah. yen. 1t was a pity" replied the
Serbian lady. But after all one cannot
