AT the beginning of each new
Congress some member of the House
of Representatives. introduces a
resolution tosabolish the work and
expense of providing free seeds for
the farmers. But as surely as the
suggestion. is proposed it is de-
feated, and so it has been at this
extra session. The appropriation
for free seeds will thus go through
with a rush, and the farmers can
now rest assured that the Depart.
ment of Agriculture will have plenty
on hand throughout another year.

1t is situated in the heart Of Paris,
the Camps de Mars being a park.
The fifty canvas dormitories have
history which Mrs. Wilson declared
gave added interest to her visit.
They were formerly used by the
Red Cross as hospitals at Chateau
Thierry. They have solid board
floors, are weatherproof, heated, and
equipped with single beds.
One of them is used as music
room and dance hail. the soldiers
being entertained with dances sew
eral nights week. Several others
are used as recreation tents, fur
nished with easy chaiss, writing
desks and monographs with always
good supply Of cigarettes availa-
BILE. Another has adequate shower
bath equipment.
AS Mrs. Wilson was emerging
from one OF the dormitories she was
met by delegation Of French civ
ilians, mostly demobilized soldiers
employed by the Red Cross about
the place. One of the men with
armless sleeve stepped forward and
presented bouquet Of flowers. tied
with the French national colors.
1t was presented in a manner OF
which only the French are capable.
II it had been gift Of priceless Jew
els it could have been no more inn
pressive. It's simplicity,made it so.
Thanking the assembled French
people in manner that left no
doubt as to her delight, Mrs. Will
son cradled the flowers in her arm
and carried them SO Throughout the
rest of her visit, even during her
reception to the American soldiers
and sailors.
AT the students club, which was
the gift Of the Paris Chapter of the
American Red Cross, to the men
and officers of our expeditionary
forces, the Presidents wife greeted
personally more than 400 Ameri-
cans in uniform. They formed
line at the entrance to the club and
saluted as she arrived
The old French mansion, reno
waited and redecorated and furnished
to give home-like meeting place
for the American Army students,
was much admired by Mrs. Wilson.
The sun porch where tea is served
and dances held, and the fine old
gardens add not little to the pleas
ant atmosphere of the place.
During Mrs. Wilson's visit stu
dents orchestra furnished music
while the Presidents wife smiled
and chatted with the Red Cross
workers and Uncle Sans dough-
boys. AS she left a large group
gathered at the door. Three rous-
ing cheers, the appropriateness of
which testified their sincerity, was
the send-off they gave her. She
turned in the car and waved--the
men waved back enthusiastically.
like Mrs. Wilson's calls at other
places established in Paris to ad-
minister to the welfare and comfort
of American soldiers, her visits will
long be the topic of conversation

"cherokee Strjp.n

The so-called Cherokee Strip" was
opened to white settlement In Septem-
Der 1898. This entire Cherokee cOun-
try was not quite one-quarter Of the
old Oklahoma territory. being about
9.70O miles in extent. The Greek In
dIans ceded part Of their domain in
indian territory TO the United States
overnment, In 1866 for 80 cents an
acre and the Selninoles sold their en-
tire holdings for half that price per
acre. White men we're pre-empted by
law from settling on the Indian lands
in that territory, and II was unOccu-
pied for long time. In 1880 II was
necessary to use troops to drive white
settlers out. who had stolen into the
territory. On April %, 1889, these
lands were declared open for settle
ment. When these rich lands were
opened for settlement, 10000 people
waited to cross the line when the sig
nal was given.

when his fortune was Eonc. through
his mistaken kindness to friend,
she had used hers for their mainte-
nance without overmuch upbralding.
When Myra was gone and her prop.
erty, cntailed, had fallen to her
nephew IIerndon Copeland, there was
nothing else for Allen to do but to
stay with HerndOn.
For some months he had been quite
happy. Old Joanna, the housekeepef
and cook. waited on him agreeably and
patiently; Herndon kept him supplied
with Havanas and little pocket mon
ey. He still rode across the country
when he liked, he collected his curiOs
without mental apology to anyone.
Then Herndon had married Sophia
Vail. A fortnight after she came into
the house she unceremonlously re-
tnoyed Aliens ancient candlestick, his
bits Of stone, his coins and his sharks
teeth from the parlor to an old out
building. He almost wept when he
found a treasured bit Of heavy crystal
from the hot springs OF Arkansas TAX
en- for a prop to a chicken coop.
Then the young bride sent away
black Joanna and cared for the house
and cooked the meals herself. Allen
no longer had his hot water brought
TO his room, his chocolate and his hot
biscuits for breakfast. Sophia de-
elared that coffee and toast were quite
sufficient for all her family, and that
those who lived with her might wait
on themselves. as she did.
Old Allen was troubled. The ladies
Of his household had always required
servants; they had always been hos
pltable. generous, thoughtful Of the
old. No one Of them would have
dreamed of sending a relative to an
Institution Of charity.

Trees Of Sorrow.

The Persian 'Trees OF Sorrow" are
so called because they bloom only al
night. When the first star appears In
the sky the first flower opens and as
the evening advances more and more
buds burst into bloom until the lovely
tree appears to be one vast flower. II
has a delicate fragrance not unlike
the scent Of the evening primrose. As
the dawn approaches the flowers begin
to fade until by sunrise not bloom is
to be seen. -

100000 YANKS ARE
Y. w. c. A. VISITORS

Four hundred thousand persons and
more served in the cafeteria in one
year is the record of the Y w. G. A.
Hostess House at Camp Lewis, Amer
lean Lake, Wash.
The majority of the 100000 diners
were mothers, wives, sweethearts and
friends who went to the camp to visit
their soldiers. The remainder were
soldiers themselves who broke the mo-
notony of "chow'' with home cooked
meals. In addition to all these guests,
%, 700 little children were cared for in
. the nursery and the rest room served
10000 tired wives and mothers.
The workers at the information
desk received and answered $1,000
questions varying from how to get the
best connections to a destination clear
across the continent, the rates of SOL
diers' insurance and the kind OF Gre
tonne q girl bride should have in her

thousand of these queries required tel

company commanders relative to hunt

When the war work of the Y W. c.

the most interesting stories will lie in
the establishment of the first Women's
Cooperative Association at Moscow.
There day after day princesses work
side by side with peasant girls, wives
of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple
unlettered women, and the money is
used for self support of these prin-

for the peasant classes.
