Women in England are buying their
own farms or their own truck and gar
den spaces in rather conspicuous num-
hers. And this IS all an outcome OF
the tremendous work done by women
On the land during the war, The gem
eral feeling is that there will not be
much room for the common female
farm laborer as time advances, but for
the woman who has a little money and
who looks upon farming as her pro-
fession and her life work there Is ex-
cellent opportunity In this direction.
In the first place, on account Of The
compact location Of the garden spaces
ard the cities In England transporta-
ton Of foodstufis is easy Then gar
den truck ana flowers do grow abun-
dantly and profusely there, and always
find ready markets.

Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson tells
an amusing story Of an old West coun-
Try parson who had to hold two sery-
fees, one in his own church and one
IN the church over the moor.
On arriving at the latter church he
got into the pulpit and said he was
awfuly sorry, but he had forgotten
to bring a most admirable sermon
which he had written.
luckily he continued, "as Icamc
across tho moor, ] remembered beau-
ful story, which l win tell you in
place Of The sermon. Ei-cr-wci, dash

WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW
Engineers In Charge Of Construction
Work Had Ideas That Now Seem
a Little Peculiar.

Light on strange ideas Of pioneer
railroad builders was thrown by Ed
ward s. Jouett, general solicitor OF
the L. 4 NJ, In talk before the Ro-
tary club at Louisville.
1.-THE Lexington-Frankfort line" said
he. twas built with longitudinal stone
stills capped with a strip OF iron, and
the numerous curves. which you have
all noted, are said to have been pur-
posely introduced upon the theory that
they were an advantage In enabling
the conductor the more easily to see
the rear OF his train. The coaches
were two-stOry affairs-women and
children below and men above-and
the motive power was mules to the
top OF the hill above Frankfort. The
train was let down the hill into the
city upon an incline operated by a
stationary engine.
"Y0u may be interested. In passing,
to learn that with the exception OF a
few miles near New Orleans, which
antedated Il about week. this line
from Lexington to Frankfort is the
oldest railroad IN the United States
south OF the Ohio and west OF the
Alleghenies. II was chartered In 1880
very early IN railroad history, when
we remember that the first railroad
IN the United States was built In 1926
and the first locomotive engine was
operated In 1920"

Stock
Relic Of Long-Past Age.

While cutting peat in the Leithen
headwater area, the shepherds I'M
earthed a horn, which may have be-
longed to Bos primi-genus or Bos
longifrons, the wild oxen that rOamed
over Britain from the glacial age to
near historic times. 1t was found at a
depth of four feet from the surface,
and the shepherds also averred that
there was small patch of brown hair
attached, which is quite probable, as
the peat would act as preservative.

THREE ARTICLES AS
TO STREET NAMES.
Warrant for Village Meeting Calls for
Action Relative to Canal, Flat
and Frost Streets.

Twelve articles make up the warrant
for the annual village meeting to be held
in Festival hall next Tuesday, May g.
at s o'clock in the evening. Most of the
articles relate TO the ordinary business,
including the question of appropriating
money for band concerts, laying the dust,
etc, but there are three which relate to
the changing of street names. These have
resulted from the agitation concerning
the desire of some of the residents of
Canal Flat and Frost streets to have the
names of those streets changed.
Article is: To see if the village will
vote to amend Chap. , of the bylaws by
adding the following as Sec. >:
The name or number by which any
street, lane or public highway within the
village limits may be known or designat-
ed may be changed by vote OF the vii
lage at any regular or special meeting
upon notice of such intended change be-
ing given in the warrant for such meet
ing"
Article reads ITO see if the village
will vote to change the name of Canal
street or any part thereof, and if so what
name shall be substituted therefor
Article 10 reads: ITO see if the village
will vote to change the names of Flat
and Frost streets or amy part thereof,
and if so what names shall be substituted
therefor"

POLICE AND STRIKERS
EXCHANGE SHOTS
One Policeman Rendered Unconscious
by Stone-Great Activity
Among the Pickets.

LAWRENCE, Mass, April 2S.-Shots
were exchanged between the police and
strike sympathizers during disturbances
early today in connection with the strike
of the textile operatives which has been
in effect here since Feb, 3. None of the
shots took effect, but three policemen
were stoned.
The most seriously injured was Samuel
Lynch of Lowell, a mounted officer, who
was struck in the head with stone and
was unconscious when other policemen
reached him Two arrests were made.
Trouble developed first near Elm and
Jackson streets some distance from the
mill section. Officer Lynch saw man
throw missile at another policeman and
chased him into doorway and arrested
him. A crowd of 100 persons quickly
gathered and attempted to rescue the
prisoner Lynch fought them off for a
time, but during the mix-up was felled
by stone While the disturbance was
at its height shot was fired from the
window of house close by and the fire
was returned by Lynch
Later another disturbance occurred al
Jackson and Thomas streets in whiel
stones were thrown. Reports that many
of the strikers planned to return to worl
brought out an unusually large numbel
of pickets Watchers said there appeared
to be no noticeable increase in the numbe
of operators who went to work.
