received word from Washington, D.

Home Economics association in that

Der of the executive committee of the
association. In view of the fact that
there are but five members of this
committee, and that previously the
members have been chosen from the
club women of the large eastern
cities, it is a recognition of Miss Har-
active in club work in this state and
kins' ability in this line of worK and
it is a compliment to the club wop n

especially in encouraging the teach

The S0-mile stretch of wheat
country from the HighwoOd
mountains to Chester on the
north within the last five OF six
years has seen a big influx of
women homesteaders, and inter-
mingled with the stories of their
successes are threads of re-
nance.
There is the story of Maud
Miller, who, like the Maud
Muller of poetic fame, was
reared ON a farm. Until a few
years ago her home was in Chi
cago and it was there, accord
ing to the story current in High
wood, that she met am electrician
who proposed to Join fortunes
with her. This seemed all right
until they compared notes and
realized that the union of their
capital-his earning capacity as
an electrician and his meager
savings and her modest bank ac-
cOunt-would fall far short of
