KEEP AT 1T.

You can well afford a smile of sat.
isfaction when YOU sit at your dinner
table and enjoy the steaming vegeta-
bles that come from your own gar.
den.
There is that confident feeling that
your time during the weeks past has
been well and usefully employed
1t has, and you are being amply
rewarded for your efforts.
During the tempestuous season OF
rain and storm, when you looked al
your wind-swept garden in the morn
ing you had occasion to feel discour-
aged. Beaten to the ground and
washed out of their bedding place
you instinctively felt that you had
just thrown SO many hours of hard
work away. But when you returned
that night you found that the sun
had remedied the ravages of the
night before, and the situation was
so much improved that your conf.
dence returned.
Now you see in practical way
that reward you receive for such q
little effort.
But do not quit. You can continue
to plant and replant until December
Do not stop now. The good worl
has just begun. There is a schedule
published in the Commercial Appca
each week showing you what to plant
and how to plant it. Do not let $
productive garden rest until the fin
ger of winter is laid upon the earth
There are abundant crops vot ~
be planted. The growing season ha.
Just begun.-[Commercial Appeal.

EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Compa-
ny announces, from its New York Of
flee, that its employees will receive
equal pay for equal work whether II
is performed by men or women. 9th
er large organizations have given out
similar statements, and there is no
doubt that the movement to at least
suspend discrimination in this line is
spreading throughout the country.
The plan should be operative at all
times. Whether the adoption of this
rule favorable to the women has been
occasioned by anticipated necessity
and from a selfish motive, or from a
desire that down right justice be done
matters little. We accept it as proper
from both standpoints. For, while
the women who fill the places of men
with the same efficiency get what ev-
erybody knows they are entitled to,
the organizations, corporations and
other employers help to utilize the
combined human power of the nation
and thereby advance the successful
prosecution of the war and vitalize
the patriotism of the people. 1t will
serve to keep business steady and
stimulate those who are actually en-
gagged in fighting.
The valuable services of women are
being recognized in many of the pro-
fessions. but perhaps in none like
that of teaching. Women are natur-
ally adapted to this noble work. In
it they are called upon to perform
arduous duties and assume trcmen-
dous responsibilities. Very few, if
any, receive salaries commensurate
with the high degree of intelligence,
important engagements, faithful ap-
plication to the work, and the unset
fish devotion required in the proper
instruction and training of the young
for high class citizenship. In the last
few years advancement has been
made along these lines. but we believe
there are greater things in store for
those who are capable and faithful in
this honorable calling.

Inasmuch as our thoughts as q ma
ton are now turned in united pur-
pose towards the performance to the
utmost of the services and duties
which we have assumed in the cause
of justice and liberty.
Z Inasmuch as but a small proper
ton Of our people can have, the OPP
portunity to serve upon the actual
field of battle. but all men. women
and children, alike may serve and
serve effectively by making it posi-
BILE to care properly for those who
do serve under arms at home and
abroad. ..-,
/ And inasmuch as the American
Red Cross is the official recognized
agency for voluntary effort in behalf
of the armed forces of the nation and
for the administration Of relief.
Now. therefore. by virtue of my
authority as President Of the United
States and President Of the American
Red Cross. l. Woodrow Wilson. do
hereby proclaim the week ending
June rs. 1917. as Red Cross Week
during which the people Of the Unit.

tenance of his work of national need

sUFFR RAGE.

presidential suffrage, the per cent. was
1879. and in eastern states, 1t was only
1913. 1t would seem that the voting
woman has not 'feminized' the West
to any extent, and 1t would seem
that the sort of men wig respond
first to their country's call are the
sort who give their women the vote.
1t would be interesting to know how
many OF the men who are sure that
women ought not to vote because
they cannot fight have responded to
the call to arms"
