SIOUX CITY PTe. CO., NO. 4s--1e17.
0 M SLOWER THAN MEN
Double the Number Required in New
York Banks, but They Are
More Methodical.

There Is at present no woman Off
Ger of q New York city bank, and only
n in New Jersey, but If the war
lasts long enough 1t may well be, as
1t Is in Canada now, that the banks
will virtually be run by women. AL
ready, it is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on In the Wall street
district since the United States en-
tered the war last April, says the New
York Evening Post.
Women are slower, but more care
full, said an official Of the Mechanics
and Metals bank, so, although twice
as many women as men are needed
to do the same amount Of work, the
bank loses no money on extra salaries,
because the women save hundreds Of
dollars which had to be paid to the
clearing house for the mems mistakes.
Each mistake costs 81 and the records
show that sometimes mems mistakes
cost $50 or $50 a week.
The average downtown bank has
lost 20 per cent Of its men and taken
on 40 per cent women. The Mechan-
les and Metals bank now has 60
women and they are being taken on
by tens or twenties each week. So
far these 60 women are taking the
places of only SO men, which shows
the difference in rapidity, but the Off
cial of the bank pointed out that it
would be q serious problem when the
men came home for their jobs.
"Our hope is" he said, that the
business will be big enough then to
accommodate them ALL"

LUSITANlA MEDALS
CAST BEFORE DISASTER

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 20.-Henry Van
Dyke. former minister to the Neither
lands, in an address at the University
of the state Of New York, declared the
Germans planned the sinking of the
Lusitania, on which ia Americans lost
their lives, with such malicious thor
oughness that they struck out a bronze
medal beforehand to commemorate 1t.
This was brought out by the fact, he
said, that the date on the medal was
May 5. 1915, when the sinking was
planned. while, because Of an uneX-
pected delay, the Lusitania was not tor
pedoed until May 7.

BOURBON FARM CONDITIONS.

Several killing frosts have struck
this section of the State this week,
being the heaviest that has fallen
here this fall. The frost has had a.
telling effect on all vegetation, late
corn and vegetables, all being
blasted by the icy visitor.
Tobacco growers who failed to
take advantage of the fair weather
to get their tobacco housed will
suffer a considerable loss, as all to-
bacco exposed, was bound to be
damaged by the frost. Few crops in
this county, however, were caught
out in the cold, as during the past
two weeks all the growers have been
very busy getting the weed under
cover and out of reach of the frost.
The work of planting wheat and
rye and barley is going steadily for
ward, and the barley is all about
planted, and just as the ground is be-
ing cleared it is being prepared for
further planting. All available
space is being given to wheat.
Watermelons and canteloupes were
plentiful on the local market the
past week and were extra good.
Roasting ears were being sold at
twenty-five to thirty cents per dozen,
and tomatoes at $3.50 per bushel,

and not very plentiful at that.
Household management took the form
of catsup making and picking and
large quantities of fruits and vege-
tables were put up"
The dairy situation is distressing.
Grass has been dry and short all
summer and stock water in some
parts of the county has been very
scarce. Milk, butter, buttermilk
and cream have been hard to get.
Poultry and eggs continue very
scare and high.
The stock shortage has caused
some anxiety and to replace the loss
some very excellent cattle, hogs and
sheep have been imported from the
West. Sheep raising will receive
an impetus, not only because it
costs less to feed them than any
other stock, and there is demand
for the meat at extra prices, but
also because wool of any grades can

RAILROADS ARE PERFORMING
A DIFFICULT TASK.

Approximately $500 carloads Of
food and other necessities are being
delivered daily by the railroads at the
cantonments where the National
Army and National Guards are be-
ing trained for service abroad, ac-
cording to reports just received by
the Railroads War Board. Accurate
figures as to the extent to which the
supplying of food and necessities for
the soldiers at the training camps
will intensity the transportation
problem will not be available until
all of the camps have received their
full quota. The task which the rail-
roads have been asked to perform,
however, is difficult one; it involves
the supplying of all the necessities of
life for sixteen non-productive cities
of a population of 10000 each and
fifty-six smaller cities ranging in
population from 800 to 5000. Alto
gether more than a million men gath
cred at the various cantonments must
have their daily necessities brought
to them by the railroads. AS it takes
at least five pounds of food per day
for each soldier, in addition to the
food, clothing, fuel and other sup
plies that are constantly needed, the
railroads have their work cut out for
them.
