Miss Ashton Graduated From Shorthand
Teacher to Live Stock Judge in Two Years
Nebraska Girl Won First Place
as Individual Stock Judge
at Denver Live Stock
Show.

From a teacher OF shorthand to
high honors as a live stock Judge
in two years is the accomplishment
Of Miss Eva Ashton, a student in
the University Of Nebraska college
of agriculture. Miss Ashton won
first place as an individual stock
Judge at the national western live
stock show at Denver in January.
She competed with a score or more
men from the agricultural colleges
of several states. The Nebraska
judging team. of which Miss Ashton
was a member, likewise won high
honors. Miss Ashton is the first
college woman in the United States
to win the highest individual judg-
ing honors at large live stock
show.
Miss Ashton is devoting the ma
ior part of her college course to
animal husbandry. She has natural
talent with stock, Is fond OF all farm
animals, and has an eye" for their
good qualities. 1t was her ability
to detect the vital and important
points in Judging horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep that won her high
honors at Denver. The judges were
impressed with her tact and ex-
plantations in scoring stock She
did not9tarry with unnecessary de-
tails but was quick to seize on the
desirable or undesirable qualities.
Worked Through University.
Miss Ashton has worked her way
through the university. She will
graduate next summer. In the mid
die Of her college course it became
necessary for her to drop out
year. She was familiar with short
hand and obtained a position as a
teacher in a Lincoln business col
lege. She taught one year and then
became secretary to the animal hus-
bandry department of the university
college of agriculture.
Working with pure-bred animal
records and pedigrees was more to
Miss Ashton's liking than teaching
shorthand. She resolved to renew
her college course and specialize in
animal husbandry. She soon re-
vealed a decided talent for judging
stock and won place on the uni-
versity Judging team.

Some idea OF the immense effort,
which must be put forth by this
country, to catch up with European
nations in highways construction,
may be gathered from the fact that
when Germany entered the war in
1914, Prussia alone had $4,000 miles
of hard surfaced highways. To be
equally well provided in proportion
to the size of the two countries, the
United States would need to have
1,6ll,ol4 miles of hard surfaced
highways. The present road mile
age in the United States is 100000
of which but twelve per cent is inn
proved and but one quarter of one

fie.

to year by labor compared to our
national resources. The wages of
labor is practically stationary and
has been for many years, but the
wages of the landlord class has
gone up by leaps and bounds every
year."
Tricked by "Intellectuals."
This created a sensation among
the 800 delegates, who had been
urged by certain "intcllectuals" year
after year to 60 into partisan poll
tics by forming labor party after
the plan of the English movement.
Smillie's confession proved the val
ue Of the American labor policy and
pointed out the failure of the Eng
lish. President Gompers in reply
called attention to the great i'm
provement in the standard of living
in this country, which, he contend
ed, was continually going forward
This, he said, had been secured
through the activities of the trade
unions, and added:
II say for myself that if I were
convinced that the American labor
union is impotent to be of service to
my fellows | would quit it and aban-
don the organization to its justiia-
bic fate"
And now over in England they
are following the policy of the
American labor movement by cast
ing aside the labor politicians and
using their economic power to gain
concessions. The campaign has
grown so powerful that the queen
has occupied the presidency of
citizens association that will advo-
cate better housing for the working
people. Arthur Henderson, Ramsey
Mcdonald and others have been rel
egated to private life. And all of
this comes from better knowledge
of why the American labor move
ment had advanced and that of the
English had deteriorated. British
workingmen learned this from Pres
ident Gompers and the other labor
officials who visited England last
year. Gompers went into the Inter-
AllleQ LABOR conference IN London
in September to batter down the
pacihst movement that obsessed the
delegates from Great Britain and
continental Europe. He told them
the American Federation of Labor
had declared there could be mo
peace without victory" and that the
American union man was willing to
fight until the enemy was defeated.
He also told them how the Ameri-
can workingmen secured economic
concessions. That is why English
labor is throwing off the political
yoke.
