A recent weeks potato campaign
conducted in Pocatello, Idaho, un-
der the supervision of the county

err 5000 pounds and a third 1880

Wheat and Hay Crop

Wheat and hay are being cut
here. While the wheat is nothing
like a banner crop, it promises a
much better yield than was antici-
pated in the Spring. The pros
poets here are better than in Kent
County where the recent storms
played havoc. Some fields in the
Capital County were laid fiat and
the grain is being cut with now
ing machines instead of binders.
Hay seems fairly good, the quail
ity being better than last year. The
acreage however, is not so great as
previous years.
Corn is looking fine with the
largest planting in years. The
planting in most instances was
made in good time and with good
season. Corn will lbe King again

To the knitters

Knitters, don't be discouraged, as
We sit at close of day,
Or perchance in the early morning
and knit and knit Away.
knitting is for the feeble so
spake learned dame,
But even the work of the needle
may be offered in Christ's
name.
The thoughts that you weave in
that helmet may we'll creep in
one day
And comfort a homesick laddie
three thousand miles away.
The hope that you breathe in that
stocking may rise as if on
wings
And bring to weary marcher the
strength that a blessing
brings.
That sweater whose countless
stitches you wrought so pat
iently
May save the life of sailor ahoat
on the wild North Sea.
We cannot all man the trenches OF
plough thru the pillows foam
Nor can all be aviators. Some one
must stay at home.
So sister do not falter, do not le
your fingers tire.
There is room for all our service
we can work-or can inspire
AS you knit in the summer twilight
or the chill of winters dawl
While you wait for your folks re
turning or after your guest
have gone.
AS you give every idle minut
something to keep in store
1t fills your days with fragranc
they have never known before
For the soul of Love is giving, i
that your secret lies.
You can lay down your life Will
living, a perfect sacrifice.

new owners promise the continual
ton of the business with the strict
regard for quality and service

gether considerably more than
thousand women are working at
the present time.
The latest compilation for all
Departments of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, Eastern Lines, including
the General Offices, has been made
as of June LIST, 1918. 1t shows
total of 8.767 women in the service
on all Divisions and in all Depart
ments at that time. One year prev
iously, on June /, 1917, there were
only 1915 women employed, or an
increase in year of 6,S22.
The earliest compilation ever
made of the number of women at
work in all Departments was that
of May /, 1917, which showed l494,
making an increase in thirteen
months of 1918.
Previous to the War, women
were very rarely taken into the ser
vice of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
In the majority of the Departments
none were employed at all. Ihere
were, for many years, very limit
ed number of women Station
Agents and Telegraph Operators.
A few women were also employed
i'm such work as cleaning stations,
cars and Offices, and in the General
Offices a small number were en-
ployed in clerical positions, but the
total of female employees never al
any time exceeded more than few
hundred until war conditions
arose.
At present, women are working
in sixty-nine classified occupatlons
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, ano
