Three thousand working Women,
employed in the big bureau of print
ing and engraving run by Uncle Sam
are grateful to Miss jeanette Rankin
Montana'S- congresswoman, for the
battle she waged and won on behalf
of better hours and wages for them,
during the last year. They sent her
big embroidered banner, expressing
their thanks, but that did not satisfy
them. When she announced that she
would run for the senate, these women
and girls announced that they would
become a part of her campaign com:
mittee.
Each of them is writing postcards
to half q dozen voters in Montana,
telling in her own way why the first
woman in the house deserves to be
promoted to the senate to keep up
her fight for women in industry and
for all the rest of the common folks.
Samuel Gompers, as president OF
the American Federation of Labor
has added his assistance to Miss Ran
kin's campaign, sending out a letter
calling attention to her service "in
behalf of the workers generally"
In the Republican primary contest
which closes August ~, Miss Rankin
is opposed by four men, all of them
representing the standpat element OF
the party. After speaking to, and
shaking hands with, more voters in
Montana than she met in the entire
1916 campaign, she reports that the
men candidates are doing the worry

RICHMOND WAR GARDENERS
HAVE TIME YET FOR STUNTS
Not Too Lntc to Plant Sccd-.iuSt the
season for some Valuable
Vegetables.

MANY OF the Richmond war garden
ers have been advised that there Is
still time I'm this region to plant prac-
tcally all of the garden crops. IN
fact. the governments expert garden
ers contend that right now is the best
time in this section for planting such
crops as lima beans peppers. egg
plant, squash. cucumbers. muskmclons
watermclons. sweet potatoes and any
other heat-lovinE crop. 1t is not too
late to plant string beans. beets. Brus-
sells sprouts, cabbage, carrots corn
kalc. lettuce. onions. parsnips parsley
peas. potatoes. radshes. satisfy. spin
ach and turnips.
ii you have not already prepared
your garden, the soil should he plowcd
or spaded at once. and the mentioned
crops planted as soon as possible. Be-
cause this is an exceptionally late
spring, it is proba BILE. however that
the planting of some heat-loving crops
should be put off for a few days Plant
ing of such plants may be done on
light. warm soils. but in frosty
pockets" 1T will be best TO DELAY
planting for few days. Hence. the
paintings by the location and character
of his soil.
There is. of course, some variation
in the region for which this advice is
given. Certain planting work NAV
be done in the Southern portion of the
region a week or so before similar
activities should be under way I'm the
northern section. 1t should be borne
in mind that this advice is based on
the average date of the last killing
frost in spring, and for this reason
exceptionally early or exceptionally
late springs will reflect the date some

of open-air Sanatoriums for dcb.litat-d

LEATHER SITUATION
No Decline in PrIces-LonE Time Yet
Before Buyers VIII See
Cheaper Shoes.

The people who have been watching
the hide and leather quotations and
hoping for lower prices for footwear
will have TO wait long time. per-
haps until after the war. before their
hopes are realized. Even if leather
does decline in price it will be at
least TWO years before it can affect
the retail shoe market. All Of the
shoes that will be worn for the next
TWO years have been made up and
any possible decline now In material.
and there is but little likelihood Of
an carly decline. viii not affect the
retail price for footwear for "A long
time to come.
Dun's Review SAYS:
Notwithstanding the certainty of Of
hcial price regulation. activity in
leather, especially in bottom descrip-
tions, has not perceptibly abated. and
sharp advances Where supplies are
wanted for strictly civilian uses they
are not easily obtainablc. with some
tanners reserving practically all of
their stock for war purposes. and
there arc intimations. that sole leather
needed for the manufacture OF army
shoes may be requisitioned. With the
enormous leather requirements OF the
government, suggesting the possibility
Of still higher prices for footwear, in
spite of the fixing OF maximum rates
on hides and leather. many footwear
buyers arc eager TO PLACE forward con-
tracts carly. and the question OF avoid
ing future delays in deliveries is also
factor in stimulating business in
this quarter But at time when de-
mands are pressing, some factories can
not attain better than a GO or 30 per
cent rate OF production, owing to the
shortage OF labor.
