object was to place before the state
and federal authorities, the advisable

people and especially the women in

issue
In the interest of this cause, Mrs.
Nelson made an appeal before the
committee on ways and means at the
Massachusetts state legislature some
sour years ago AND shortly after this
ayowed intention OF finding a little
ne came TO Burlington with the
farm somewhere on which to carry
out her ideas of what women might
accomplish in this comparatively new
sield of endeavor.
In view of the many changes in
women's work since the coming of<the
war, the result of Mrs. Nelson's eX-
pertinent in Vermont is OF wide in.
terest.
Mrs. Nelson is very enthusiastic,
and when that enthusiasm is rein
forced with brains, winnig per-
sonality< and determination to sue
coed, failure is an unknown quantity.
Mrs. Nelson bought her land from a
portion OF the old Krupp farm which
has a beautiful outlook upon the sill
yer waters of Malletts Bay
At the time she secured the prop
erty, the land was none too fertile
and the buildings we're more or less
dilapitated, but the possibilities of the
place appealed to the new owner and
in spite of the handicap Of being alb
solutely without experience in any
kind of farm work she started in, with
characteristic energy, process of re-
habitation. To this end she planned
her campaign as does a general and
before the first summer passed. she
had accomplished wonders, A fine
lot of vegetables had been harvested,
an acre of berries set out, and much
other small fruit started.
The next year she did much more
to beautify the place and to make it
more productive and since then she
has steadily improved the property,
so that today it is one of the most at
tractive places at the Bay And the
city woman learned rapidly as she
got strong in body and vigorous in
mind by applying herself to the out
door life in the bracing Vermont air.
Mrs. Nelson takes many farm and
garden periodicals, and what is more,
she reads them. She is well inform
ed on agricultural conditions, and can
talk fluently and sensibly on almost
any phase OF farm and country life.
Before Mrs. Nelson became a
Farmer" She took the course in ad,
vanoed English and Economics in
Simmons college in Boston and did
some work in plat-chemistry Since
coming to Burlington she completed
the short course in the winter SEES
sions of the Vermont State Agricul-
tural college where she displayed an
unusual grasp of problems arising
from her studies there.
All of this has enabled her to con-
time her work under difficulties that
would have foored many q man, and
she is convinced, she says, that there

In connection With her farming
operations Mrs. Nelson conceived the
idea of Wayside Inn, where people
might stop for cheering cup of tea.
This has developed into brisk little
business and groups of tourists for
summer campers find Mrs. Nelson's
Rustic Tea house a convenient place
for social parties and little spreads.
Mrs. Nelson has made her little
journey into the field of nature a pro-
fitable one financially, as well as in
ether directions. and her success is a
sign OF what the future has in store
for the real women.

greater responsibility, as general
rule, than those to which graduates
from Fort Smelling will be assigned.
While the same age limits prevail
as for the first series of training
camps, it will be only exceptional
candidates under 81 who will be ac-
copied. There is positive advance as.
surance that each candidate accepted
will receive 500 the month during
the period of training, while reserve
officers who are accepted will 70,
! ceive the pay of their grades and
will provide their uniforms and sub,
sistence at their own expense. The
government will provide all neces.
sary arms and equipment. :,
How to Make Application.

must be procured from Major Steed-
