She had journeyed to India to paint a
viceroy and had cireled the globe, COM

missions from Mrs. Seward Webb, Mrs,
James A. Burden and Mrs. Willard

been portraits of Mr.. and Mrs Joseph
Letter, Mr.. and Mrs Edward B. Me-
Lean, and little Vincent Mclean, known
far and wide as the wealthiest child in
the world.
From the mansions of the millionaires,
where she had been working with brush
and colors, Mrs. Edgerly stepped into a
neat, homelike western farmhouse one
morning in midsummer. She caused
something of a sensation and aroused
more or less suspicion by bringing with
her many trunks filled with canvases,
paints, and souvenirs of foreign travel
as well as queer garments that later
were to cause sensation in Westyille
The odd garments were English riding
breeches, which were to be worn in the
most extraordinary pastime ever I'M
dulged in by their owner
A days stay on the farm revealed a
labor shortage The oats were ready for
harvesting and it was impossible to hire
any extra "help" Five or six families
owned a thresher and other machinery
in common and they had revived the old
system of cooperation that results in
what used to be called "bees,p all con-

King Albert of Belgium En-
tered Client Amid Cheer
ing Throngs

Paris, Nov, lS.-The last German
troops left Brussels yesterday, according
to dispatch from the Havas correspond
ent on the Belgian front. Extraordinary
scenes were witnessed around the North
station, from which most of the enemy
soldiers departed. Wishing to have mon
ey to take home with them, they took
everything they owned or had stolen.
Some laid out objects on the sidewalk
and cried their wares in loud voices.
Among the articles offered for sale were
blankets, clothing and shoes, as well as
wool and copper goods taken from the in
habitants of the city.
Client, Wednesday, Nov. Is (By the
Associated Press king Albert, Queen
Elizabeth and Prince Leopold Of Belgium
made their official entrance into Client
to-day. The royal party moved through
cheering throngs amid showers Of roses
and chrysanthemums
The king wore the uniform Of Bel
gian general without decorations He
rode a tall bay horse,
The troops which entered the city
formed the first division of the Belgian
army.
The royal party halted in the center of
Place d'Armes and reviewed the whole
first division, these soldiers being vet
Grams of the whole four years war. As
the regiments filed past, with their bands
playing, the king saluted and the queen
bowed and smiled. A 10-year.old girl
rushed through the line of lancers and
presented bouquet to the queen, who
kissed her ON both cheeks. The throng
cheered.
The crowd then sang the Branbanconne
and wound up with tremendous out
burst of applause. King Albert then
went to the city hall, where he was re-
ceived by Acting Mayor Anseele, who ex-
pressed the admiration of the citizens for
the kings attitude during the war. In
replying, King Albert said:
"The citizens of Client have proved
themselves worthy descendants of Van
Artevelde, who suffered privations and
tyranny with courage and fortitude."

She decided to volunteer as a hand"
The farmer to whom she made the offer
of assistance accepted her on probation,
for he was becoming accustomed to the
necessity that made his wife and daugh-
ters valuable aids in the lighter forms
of field labor, and the artist who is
tall, straight, and athletic, appeared to
be promising as a helper.
It was when the new hand" reported
for work in the field that her attire
caused sensation. Mrs. Edgerly wore
her riding breeches, her riding boots and
a sleeveless jacket. The members of the
five families who had assembled for the
"bee" looked askance at the costume,
for the regular farmerette boomers had
not been introduced into that part of the
state. The artist was assigned TO work

To Report cold-storage Spaces.

Owing to the necessity for obtaining
large supplies Of beef for the use of the
army and navy at time when it Is
available, the demands of the war and
navy departments for cold storage space
are resulting in a shortage Of space re-
quired for ordinary commercial uses. The
food administration has requested the
department of agriculture to render as
sistance in this emergency. Accordingly
the bureau Of markets is obtaining
monthly reports from public coldstor-
age warehouses concerning coldstorage
and freezing space, and will endeavor
from time to time to answer inquiries
from the trade concerning such space
available in various sections of the coun-
try as indicated by reports received.

WILL TRY GERMANS
Who Are Accused of Crimes During the
Occupation of Lille.

Paris, Friday, Nov. l5.Edourd Ig-
mace, under secretary of state for mill
tary justice, has ordered judicial in
quiry at Lille against German officers
accused of crimes during enemy occupa-
tion Of that city. This action conforms
to the decision recently made by the
French cabinet
"These officers will be judged by a
courtmartial in their absence" says the
Temps, IF the allies are not able to Sc.
cure custody of the accused"
This is the first step in such prosecu-
tions. M. Ignace anticipated the need
for such action and in 1915 proposed the
organization of a high interallied court
to try Germans who committed crimes in
invaded territories.
