PREPARING WOMEN
FOR CITIZENSHIP"

That remarkable writer. Mrs. Helen
Ring Robinson, who was the first wo-
man ever elected to o State Senate,
says in her new book, published by
the Macmillan Company, and entitled
Preparing Women for Citizenship,
that there are ''three things the new
woman voter must do it she wishes
to be helpful to what has been aptly
called the Wholesale housekeeping Of
her community, whether that COM
munity il \ little wind-swept village
Of the plains or q big smoky city.
First: She must open her eyes-and
then, it may be, get eyeglasses. Sec
Old: She must become unanimous
with herself. Third: She must be-
come . stockholder in . Power Com
pany." In vivid phrases Mrs. Robin
son enlarges on these necessities Of
good citizenship. s-"It is what we dc
between elections that really counts,
she declares. 1.-THE vote is merely q
condition for getting other things that
are more essential" is another one OF
her epigrammAtic philosophers. This
book makes an appeal for the STEADY
mood of good citizenship" and the
belief is expressed by the author that
it is q mistaken theory of womankind
that "her country is bounded by q
wedding ring" where do we go from
here? ?" is the name of a chapter of the
book. The volume has SO much "pep'
that Mrs. Gait is led to comment: "Nc
one can write more forcefully and lit.
orally, hitting the nail right on the
head with an awful clip, than Heller
Ring Robinson" In her book Mrs
Robinson has not omitted any Of the
logical demands to be claimed for wo.
men. 1t may be said that she eviden.
ces a thorough grasp of the whole
feminist question, and is content &c
leave to men their proper sphere in
the affairs Of humanity, but she j.
jealous Of the hundred per cent OF
rights to which her oYHsrex is en-
titled.

Dear Nary
Received your letter today. It is
the first letter have received for al
most q week, as the trains were snow
bound on Marshall pass and we have
had no mail for six days. There was
certainly an enormous pile Of mail
matter at the postoffice, but, would
you believe it? Postmaster Matt Deer
ing and his assistants had the window
open in less than two mours. They
distributed $500 letters into the boxes
in about IS minutes.
We nearly lost our court house the
other day. You know there is no coal
stove in that fire-proof vault so they
have an oil stove to heat it with. Well,
the lamp got too hot and melted the
whole thing and if it had not been for
Don Parsons, all our valuable books
in the vault would have been destroy
ed. 1t is too bad we have no furnace
in the building.

had wedding at his house the other

Whip, was married 10 Urias Will

ceremony. There was another we'd

and Frank Sayer.

Jack went to the meeting Of the

THE Potato AGAIN

A medium sized potato weighing
about 3h ounces, supplies about as
much starch as two slices Of wheat
bread one-half an inch thick. In
other respects also, the potato meas
ures up well with wheat bread, and
even has the advantage over it of
supplying certain salts which the body
needs to concentrate the acidity re-
sulting from the use of too much of
certain foods such as cereals, meat
or eggs.
In cooking the potato, it is well to
remember that the best Of the spud
lies directly under the skin, SO that
when it is peeled, q great deal Of the
food value is lost. The same thing is

GETTING THE RIGHT START

Pieceing quilts is an old-fashioned
occupation for children which modern
mothers would do well to revive and
which government educators suggest.
Besides developing valuable finger
dexterity, "crazy quilt" making also
gives play to the inventive and artistic
potentialities of children and may be
made the agent for valuable training
in color harmonies.
However, it is well to furnish the
little girl with something in which to
Gunnison news-champion., 1919-02-07

keep their ~pieces," needle. thread and
etc. The mother who allows her chill
dren to drop things anywhere when
they are thru working, is simply lay
ing up trouble for herself. Teach
them to put things away in their pro-
per places when time to lay their play
things or sewing aside. Make the IL
tie girl bag like the one illustrated.
Make it Of good, servicable cloth, and
while Of pretty color and pattern, il
should not be too light or easily soiled
material. The little lady will take a
personal pride in keeping her pieces"
in the bag and likewise save mother q
lot Of unnecessary steps.

Horns may be removed in your
animals through the use of caustic
potash. Caustic soda will, of course,
answer as we'll. AS a matter OF
fact, much of the material which has
been sold under the name Of caust1c
potash was nothing but caustic soda.
The material to be used for the re-
moval of horns comes in stick form.
1t will burn the fingers, hence, when
applying the hands should be pro
tected.
When calves are. young the button
which later forms the horn is not
attached to the head, but is loose
under the skin. You can feel it if
you rub your hand over the head,
After securing the caustic potash
and locating the buttons, mo1sten it
in water and rub vigorously on the
point over the button. Over-use of
caustic potash is to be avoided, and
care should be taken to hold the
head of the calf in a level or hori-
zontal position and SO prevent the
burning of any other part of the face
than that to which the treatment is
to be applied. second treatment
may sometimes be necessary, but il
the work is properly done at the
right time it will hurt the calf 40
more than the burning of a wart on
the hand with a drop or two of
acetic acid, and it will effectively
DESTROY the button and prevent the
development of horns and SO avoid
the necessity on your part of later
going to the trouble of dehorning
the animal by means Of knife OF
a saw devised for that purpose.

Such arbitrary percentages are i'm

been customary to use about 100
