Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait appeared
at the Senate hearing, in behalf OF
the Federal Suffrage Amendment,
fanked by these % flags. as a con.
crete illustration of the fact that in
no country except the United States
are women forced to seek political

WOMAN'S WAR SERVICE
IN AGRICULTURE

mobilizing for war service, in response
to the call to the colors by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait. president of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION, work on the soil seems to
be popular. The women are putting
their accustomed suffrage initiative
and energy into the organization Of
hoe and spade brigades-by no means
negiecting their suffrage work as they
dig and plant.
With the cooperation OF State and
Federal authorities, already eight
states are in the vanguard for agri.
cultural work.
Connecticut suffragists are setting
apart patriotic lots" for every rural
and small town league. Upon a farm,
eight miles from Greenwich, belonging
to Miss Ryan and Miss Runtz-Rees,

County Camp Farming School. Here
an eight weeks course in practical
farming and care of stock is to be
given.
