physical strength. Women could not
lay railway ties. They should not be
called upon to do work which would
overtax their strength. We are not
used to the idea of the performance
of manual labor by women in this
country. We don't like to see women
do hard work. But there is nothing
about railroad work requiring skill or
accuracy which women cannot do. We
have had one woman watcher at rail-
road crossing up the state for the last
ten years.
"Our present work is centered large
ly in the organization and training of
women for employment by the rail-
roads. We cannot tell how long the
war will last nor how many men we
may lose by the draft. We want to
be ready. The women we are training
are in many instances relatives Of our
employees. They have taken up rail-
road work eagerly and theoretically.
Their contribution to the industrial
welfare Of the country will be of ire
mendous benefit to women. Many
women have extraordinary energy and
power for constructive work which has
never been put to practical use. The
war gives them an opportunity to
serve their country and themselves.

SEEDY HOBO is ELIMINATED
Stringent War Regulations Cause
Him to Disappear From Rail-
road Right of Way.

What no amount of legislation and
no number of warning signs could ac-
complish in years has been accom-
plished in a few brief weeks by the
entry of the United States into the
world war-the railroad hobo has
magically disappeared, says Oakland
(Cal) Tribune. No more are his
breakfast fires to be seen burning I'M
der bridges or beneath overhanging
branches in the creek beds beside the
track. There are no more "hangOuts'
at the entrances to tunnels, and the
"side-door Pullmans" are no longer
tenanted by unshaven and ragged spe-
cimens of humanity.
The disappearance of the hobo from
the railroads was brought about by the
stationing of soldier guards at all APP
proaches to bridges, tunnels and termi-
nails. Any person walking on a rail
road right of way these days must
have Iheans to prove instantly that he
is an individual above suspicion. The
hobo carries no handbook, calling
cards, business correspondence or
other papers to prove his respectable
ity.
With the increase Of ammunition
trains and the movement of troops to
mobilization camps the strictest of Wig
ilauce will be exercised by the military
authorities, and it will be dangerous
for unauthorized parcnpc IN uapturo
upon railroad right of way except at
such crossings as are recognized as
public highways.

PRUNING IN APPLE ORCHARDS
Bliohted Parts Should Be Cut Out as
Completely as PossibIe-Good
Disinfectant Given.

In pruning the apple orchard
blighted parts ought to be cut out as
completely as possible. Old dried
blight cankers on the main limbs or
trunks ought to be scraped smooth, an
area back to ring of healthy wood
cleaned off and the wound disinfected
and painted.
A good disinfectant is mercurlc chic
ride tablets dissolved in water to the
strength of one part to 1000. This
dlsinfectant Can be applied with a
brush to each wound that is cleaned
off, and then the wound can be painted
with common white lead and oil paint.

w. Il. Miller, seventy years old, who
