At the first call for soldiers In August
1914, he fastened to the recruitins

way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again In 1915, and when her husband
returned In 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed. the indebtedness Of the farm
paid off, considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for a 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he a proud man |
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period Of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
glowing, seeding. summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
,cially successful with stock, and have
a splendid herd Of shorthorns, both
Durebred and grade. AT the recent
Brandon sale they purchased new
purebred stock bull for $780, Their
nerd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss r. M. Hillman Of Keller, Sas.
katchewan, is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone In ex.
tensively for grain growing and farms
1120 acres. She also owns some OF
the finest Percheron horses In Sas.
Blatchewan.
The prairie now boasts Of many
women who have had more or less sue
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still dem
.onstrating, that a versatile woman
may be just as good and successful Q
farmer as her brother
There %sy otner women, too On th'
Canadian prairies, who, though they
glave not had thrown upon them the re
sponsibilities of running a farm,
have been decided factors In making
the farm a success. They assist theil
husbands by keeping the farm &C
counts, reducing the grocer's bills by
their management of the poultry and
butter, taking care Of the house, and
very often, proving good advisers In
the economic management of the men
and general conduct of the farm work.

Commission Offers Prizes for
Best Home Grown Canned

Washington.-The war gardeners of
the United States answered Pershings
call to Keep the Food Coming"
There are, according to figures being
tabulated by the national war garden
commission, 100000 war gardens in
the United States. These figures are
incomplete and the estimates were
made on reports received up to June
Is. This number indicates an increase
Of 40 per cent over last year when
there were $500, 900 garden munition
plants at work. Figuring in the in
creased cost this year over last, fur
Their estimates will be made by the
commission both on the number of gar
dens and the estimated crop value.
"Taking these early figures into
consideration" said Charles Lathrcp
Pack, president of the commission, in
making public the preliminary survey,
together with the increased canning
demonstration work being done by the
United States department of agricul-
ture in cities and towns, we feel safe
in saying the forecast of 1,500,000,000
quarts in tin and glass of canned stuff,
made by the department, will be
reached"
Big Prizes Are offered.
The report points to the early plant
ing season this year. which was made
possible by weather generally favor
able throughout the country. To en-
courage saving the garden crop the
national war garden commission, which
planted a 400-acre demonstration war
garden at Camp Dix, N. j., is Offering
$4,000 in prizes for the best canned
vegetables grown in war gardens, with
the slogan Back up the cannon by
use of the Gamer"
In nearly every section Of the coun-
try there has been an appreciable and
encouraging increase in the number of
war gardens this year. the commission
announced. This has ranged anywhere
from 10 to go per cent. In the Eastern
portions there was failure to note
gain on the early returns.

Rome, the ancient lighthouse Of CIV
ility and of liberty, has substituted
these new companions in arms for
those of Russia. These warriors for
the freedom of their country have
found in the ranks of our own combat
ants fraternity and sturdy faith. This
fraternity, more than common ideals
for the redemption of their respective
countries, Is cemented by the know
ledge and vision of the real difficulties
and the resolution and firmness OF
purpose of the new combatants. From
their own ranks on a spontaneous vote
thew have eliminated all about whose
military vigor or enthusiasm there
could be any doubt, so that the recruits
represent the flower Of the soldiery OF
the oppressed nationalities. Drawn
from the same country, speaking the
same tongue, in the daily Intimacy OF
their new military life, they have sub
iected each other to voluntary but in
flexible tests. The results are confided
only to their officers.
"Titus does not please me. He would
not make good corporal. We do not
want him." they say. Thus, out OF the
ancient military system OF Austria
snrings elements of criticism which ex-
clude the weak and unfit. The officers
must heed these verdicts, which. like
