 'Gerdening for women," says Mrs. florence M. Woodside of Winchester, Mass, originated in the First Garden when Eve was given to Adam as a helper. While the record of her work Is rather incomplete, it is reasonable to believe that she did more than help Ito gather the fruit
 AS an exponent of what women may do for gardening and gardening for women, Mrs. Woodside is an example to her sex A talented reader and iforceful speaker, the message she is giving to women's clubs and other organizations must be productive of good.
 That she is not a mere theorizer, her garden at Winchester proves. Her interest dates back to the time when, child, she battered down the long furTows with her father, behind the blow, and through intimate compan- ionship with him learned the secrets of mother Earth.
 When buying the home at Winches ter she looked for small house and a big piece of land" She was not wholly successful, but did secure q good-sized back yard, which was Ispaded up for a garden while the fur lniture was being moved into the house For some time a ''For Sale" sign on an adjoining lot disturbed her, because she wanted the land to add to her garden. Her husband, all ways a city dweIler, tried to discour- age her in the purchase of the lot but she finally convinced him that If cultivated, the land would pay in itere5t on the investment, and taxes, and would increase in value. It was rough and poor, but applying her Knowledge of soil management, and

THE only difference between big
business and little business lies in
= the number of units of effort and
the character Of service rendered.
The laboring man is in business for
himself. He renders a service by sell
ing his time, energy and skill.
Big business is the grouping together
Of great many units to render a great
er service by oo-ordinating the efforts
of the individuals and selling the results
other combined time, energy and skill.
Up to few years ago the general pub
lie did not understand the ideals of ser
vice underlying big business. What it
did not understand, it distrusted and
naturally condemned.
When the Allies decided to organize
their armies on the basis of big bust
ness for a common service-they
began to get results, and the world saw
the benefits to be derived from intelli-
gent organization.
The Standard Oh Company QnGana)
is a big business, organized to render
useful service.
The objective Of the Company is to man.
ufacture the greatest number Of useful
products from crude petroleum, to dis
tribute them so that they are availablet to
all and to sell them at 4 minimum price.
The methods by which the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) renders these
services embrace the truest financial
democracy, the most advanced mer.
chandising practices and extensive
scientific research.
These are intended to expand theeuse-
fulness of the Company % q pubic
servant, by maintaining the quality Of
petroleum products manufactured at
the highest standard, By making an ad-
equate return to those who are invest
ing their money or their time in The
business Of the Company and enabling
the public to secure their require
ments Of such products At . minimum

RED CROSS Will Dis
CONTINUE PRODUCTION
Transportation Problems Difficult and
Work Now in Progress Should be
Completed by Oct. l.

After a careful survey of Chapter
production conditions and transporta-
tion, facilities abroad, the American
Red Cross has decided not to continue
production this fall.
Railroad conditions in Europe are
such that transportation is a very diff
fcult problem and for this reason the
Red Cross warehouses in France and
this country still contain a consider
able quantity of finished articles
which every effort will be made to
have reach the people of the devast>,
ated countries before cold weather.
and which will in a large degree meet
the situation Inasmuch as the distri-
button of these finished articles and
the piece goods which are to be sent
will tax the capacity of the railroads,
it has been decided to discontinue pro-
duction for the present
1t is urged that all unmade or un-
finished garments be completed and
sent in by October I, so that they can
be sent on their way as soon as posi-
BILE. The yarn supply on hand will be
sold locally.
The local Chapter is keenly apprec-
iative of the hearty cooperation of its
women and are very proud of the fine
record they have made. It is hoped
they will now turn their attention to
other branches of Red Cross work and
will give as much enthusiasm and CO.
operation to the Public Health pro-
gram, Home Service work, First Aid
classes, and other splendid projects
of the American Red Cross.

Dresher is operating a sixteen acre

are now in full bearing. The incomes
from full bearing orchards run from
$1,000 per acre and upwards, frequent

THREE CHURCHES ARE
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
One of the Most Terrific Thunder
Storms Did Considerable Damage
Saturday Night-Half Inch
of Rain.

One of the most terrific storms in
the history of this section of North
Dakota was experienced Saturday
night. The storm lasted for more
than an hour and there was hardly q
second between the sharp crashes.
Three Lutheran churches. two in
Minot and one in the country, were
struck and damaged but not burned.
The Bethania Lutheran church near
the court house was struck, the light
ming coming down one of the rods,
tearing small hole in the steeple.
The German Lutheran church in the
northeastern part of the city was
struck. the roof beinr damaged and
one of the chandeliers broken.
Considerable DAMAGE was done to
the From Lutheran church near the
Mat Ronshaugen home in forming
township. The steeple was struck and
one side so badly damaged that it will
have to be rebuilt. The lightning en-
tered the building, a ioist in the floor
at the opposite end of the church be-
ing splintered and charred Shingles
from the steeple were scattered all
about the church yard and there was
scarcely whole shingle left on the
entire steeple. A 2x6 studding was
ground up into a mass like hay. Nor
tar was Clipped loose from around the
foundation. The damage was about
$500 and the church was insured by
the Grant Farmers Mutual Insurance
Co.
The residence of T. P. Mulick, man
ager Of the international Harvester
Co., at 2O2 Fifth Ave. S. E., was
struck, the lightning damaging the
chimney and the roof.
The farm home of Alfred Campbell,
16 miles southwest of the city, was
struck, the roof being damaged Plas-
ter was knocked off the ceiling in one
of the bedrooms, but fortunately no
one was in the room.
A half inch of rain fell during the
storm.

pick only certain percentage of the
fruit from each orchard, making sew
eral pickings, but as ripe oranges can
hang on the trees for six months there
is no hurry.
Mr.. Dresher says that one should be
careful in buying orange orchards.
One orchard may be worth $4,000 an
acre while just across the road there
might be an orchard that would not be
worth paying the taxes on. Perhaps
the trees have been planted on a
sloping piece Of land that will permit
are any number of orchards planted
on worthless land just to sell to suck
ers at high price.
The Dreshers visited with their son
Paul, who is a chemist in the Du Pont
powder works at American Lake
Wash, while enroute here
