Miss Pearl Mitchell, Of Columbia, and
aunt Of Mrs. R. II. Gray, Of this city,
is one Of the most successful women
farmers not only in Missouri but in
the entire country. In fact Miss
Mitchell was the pioneer farm woman

souri, Women Farmers Club. She has

~cesses in Missouri Is that Of Mrs.
Minnie Prescott, who owns about g00o
acres Of land near Elsberry. After
the death Of her husband. Mrs. Tres
cott took charge Of the farm and has
been making money. Last year she
had oyer 200 acres in wheat. She
says she raises everything but sheep
on her farm.
Another example Of efficient farm
management Is that Of Mrs. Eleanor
Risley Of Nevada, Mo. When Mrs.

The hunt was conducted by
two teams, one Of which was called
AThe Allies" and the other 'The Ger
mans.p The Germans killed 1872 rab-
bits while the Allies got only 1877. |
which means that the men who were
on the team Of the Allies will have to
wait on the table while the others cat

CARLOAD WRITING PAPER FUR THE

FL PASO, Sept. 27 - The arrival here recently of a carload Of writing paper called attention in a striking manner to the enormous amount of correspondence carried on by the ap- proximately 100, 900 American soldiers, federal and state. doing patrol duty along the Mexican border. There were more than a million sheets of paper and half that many envelopes consigned to the army Young Mems Christian Association.
 Part of this shipment was sent on to Columbus, N. NJ, other parts 10 Douglas and to Nogales. Ariz.. for the camps there. Most of it, however, was retained here for the soldiers of the Fl Paso district because they use somewhere near a quarter Of million sheets weekly This would indicate that the camps here alone require 8 full car load of paper each month.
 Supplying letter paper Is only enc of the many activities Of the Young Mems Christian Association on the border. Each separate camp has recreation hut built and managed by the association They are low. spread. ing buildings, provided with tables and chairs. writing materials, games and reading matter. The eight huts in the Fl Paso district are in the hands of twenty eight experienced secre- taries.
