Name Gossip
Doing Her Bit"

CRosamond Reed)
Aged, worn and feeble,
She sits in her old armchair,
Knitting socks FOR the soldiers:
Deep in her heart prayer.
Twisted with toll her myers,
Lined her forehead by care.
Twas the bitter wind of sorrow
Swept the gold from her hair.
For way back in the sixties
War first touched her heart.
His country called her husband
To bravely do his part.
There were days of anxious waiting,
Days of scanty bread:
Then,-"Died on the field Of battle"
The fateful message read
No time to brood DER sorrow:
No time to mourn her dead:
With aching heart but willing hands
She went to work instead.
Kept her home together,
Reared her children small:
From early morn till late at night,
knew unremitting toll.

Her grandson, straight and tall,

Answer HIS country's call.
As he fingered at the gate.
His young eyes smiled goodbye.
Then martial music called him
To serve, and liye-or die.

Pine Tree State

Mrs. Garfield has done remarkably
eHecsive suffrage work in the State.
AS Is well known, earlier in the cam
pdiSn she gave months time in
flscataquIs county and organized
committee in practically every town.
NOW she is working for a month in
northern Penobscot and Aroostook and
since her return to the State, notwith-
standing the handicap OF ucastly
weather, has organized sixteen COM
mlttees in less than two weeks. Mrs
canned believes in suffrage heart and
soul. She is energetic, enthusiastic,
kindly and tactful, winning friends
Wherever she goes and putting forth
such convincing arguments for equal
suffrage that she converts hundreds of
men and women TO the cause. She is
an unusually interesting, straight
forward and logical speaker.
For years the National Grange has
endorsed Woman Suffrage. 1t does it
over and over again at every Annual
convention. The last one was held in
California and the oft-recurring reso-
luton moved the Los Angeles Times
to say editorially: I'VE never could
understand why the farmers wife,
who has to cook three meals a day,
keep the house, milk the cows, care
for the children, do many of the
chores, make the butter, bake the
bread. gather the eggs, make the soap.
and score of other things. should not
have the right to vote" Same ques-
ton applies to the workingman's wife,
and the self disappearing woman, and in
fact any kind of American woman
who has responsibilities, domestic or
governmental.

MAKES FOOL DEMAND
Holds State Must Show What
Roads Government In
tends to Use

From the contents of letter receiv-
ed recently by State Highway Engineer
Num-, from L. I. Hewes, government
district engineer at Portland, it appears
that the government may not match the
100000 appropriated by the legislature
to meet the provisions of the Shackel-
ford act for the improvement of rural
post roads, on account of the failure
of the state to prove that the road
planned to be improved will be used as
a post road. The stretch of road select
ed by the highway commission is known
as the Wolf Creek road on this side of
Grants Pass ON the Pacific Highway.
cit is our opinion that the evidence
SO far presented will not warrant a
finding by the secretary of agriculture
that this project conforms to the act, -

engineer at Portland, in letter to

State Highway Engineer Num-, He re-
fers to the provisions of the Shackel-
ford bill, under which the federal ap-
preparation is made. The point is that
the data furnished by the highway de-
rartment do not show "the future SER
vice of the proposed road as a rural
Postroad."
"We will be unable to furnish to you
any further proof that this road will
ever be used as rural route" replied
State Highway Engineer Mum. cit
seems that such proof would be almost
impossible, as any project on which we
might request aid, as it is a matter al
ways adjusted by the government at
such times as the population justifies
the establishment of such route. -
1t would appear that the government
officials want to spend the money for
the improvement of rural postroads al
ready established as such.
