 In many towns community canning centers have been established through the exertions of the suffra- gists, and canning demonstrations have been held by large proportion of the suffrage leagues. Canning
 seemed the form of patriotic service

Today's Anniversaries.

On this date in the year 1880 Chicago was surveyed and laid out as a town, and the map recorded. It was incorporated on Aug. 10, 1883. At that ti,..e the population was Tive hunc1eG and fifty. Farragut's fleet entered the harbor of Mobile on Aug. 4, 1864. He ran the gauntlet of the forts with wooden vessels, defeated the confed-- crate fleet and forced the forts to sur render. It was on this occasion that Farragut darfngly ran past the forts. lashed to the masthead of his flagship, that he might more easily superintend the action. The famous bell of Mos COW, the largest in the world, was raised from the ground, where it had reposed for a great many years. It's weight is about 440,000 pounds. it is 21 feet high and 23 feet in diameter.

WOMEN AS GARDENERS.

It was not so long ago that women working in the field were regarded curiously. It was permissible for them to dig in the dirt in their flower beds. But public sentiment made beans and potatoes quite different It was expected tLat the wives of aliens would spade and hoe, in the fields. But it was regarded as one evidence of their pathetic struggle for a foothold in life
 Today in every back lot the wom- en are hoeing and seeding as if they were men. Their costumes are not always appropriate. One sees them at it sa tailored suits and starched light dresses. But probably they only went out to peep at their back yard nurslings and couldn't resist the temp tation to oioan up little around them.
 The old prejudice referred to is simply a legacy from the times when women sat in the house and did em- broidery, carried smelling salts and tainted on slight provocation. IT those times they were really frail They would have got sunstroke il they attempted operating a hoe The modern girl brought up in an athletic way IS Just aOOuI as strong as a mar of her siza.

There is much in getting used to it and in suitable dressing. When women learn that they will find it not very burden. ome.
 And the returns in health and vigor will be apparent. After 8 good summer in the garden many of our women will wonder what has become of those persistent headaches and nervous spells they used to haze. The Old Man will have to pay good sized butchers bills for the meat they will eat. But at least t e doctor won't be called so frequently.

FIRST WOMAN
 TAKES SEAT AS < "A DIPLOMATIST.
Mrs. Darley Livingstone of London Joins Hague
 Conference

London, Aug. 4-The first woman diplomatist to sit at a table of diplo matic negotiation according to the Daily Mail. is Mrs. Darley Living stone, who was one of the six British official representatives at the Anglo German conference at The Hague recently. to- deal with questions on prisoners of war.
 Mrs. Livingstone is an American married to a. British officer and has been a member and secretary of the Government Committee on the Treat ment by the enemy of British Prison CTS since it was formed two years ago.
 Tn the early days of the war Mrs. Livingstcne used to do all the inter viewing of the sick and wounded prisoners who were returned period ically and although this work is now done largely by a large staff of vol unteers, she still makes it a point of personal1y interviewing all escaped prisoners of war
 Hrs. Livingstone talking about her visit to the Hague said;
 People did seem surprised to find O woman among the British represen- tatives. I am sure I don't know why, because there is really nothing that women are not doing in England to- day, Is there? had no means of tell ing what the German representatives thought. because, of course, we did not talk to each other-not. socially mean Indeed, 1t would be quite inn possible to give you an adequate idea of the extrenae formality of the pro- ceedings
 s1 was there merely to assist Sir Robert Younger, our Chairman with information which as secretary of the committee I naturally have at com mand. It was real hard work all the time. and both parties were concerned solely with the welfare of the prison- CTS. Questions concerning them were the only ones discussed. and | think the agreements concluded will be found to be very satisfactory.''

A wIDowER's MIsG1vINGs.

H. E. P. writes: T am a widower of A with two children-14 and 12 years of age, who have been mother less for three years. Finding life in tolerably lonely, proposed marriage to a young woman of 2S, and was oc- ceptedt the wedding day being set for September next. I provided lavishly for my first wife, expensive furs, silk dresses, and jewe1ry, all of which my f1ancee refuses to accept My chill dren are both boys. therefore these things would be of no value or use to them. I have no relatives who would wish them. Is my hancee not unrea- lsonable in stu5borray refusing to use them. especially as it is my wish she should do so?'
