Geneva, Switzerland.-It was Il
years and more ago that a group o.
American women met in the little
New York village of Seneca Falls, and
proclaimed "a Charter of the Rights
of Women"
"The right to vote" "The right
of an education" 1.-The right of d
married woman to own the dress she
stood in-and other goods, too"
Daring as it sounded back in 1S4S
practically every demand of that Sen
eca Falls Women's Charter has been
written into the laws of the United
States.
But there are still countries wher:
women are merely doormats.
Another Charter
Just a few days ago another gather
ing of women drew up another
Charter of the Rights of Women. "
The members of the Eighth Con-
gress of the International Woman
Suffrage Alliance met in Geneva,
Switzerland. The company included
not only Americans, but women from
countries of which those pioneers OF
1S4S never read in their Biographies
from Latvia and Czecho-Slovakia
and the Ukraine, as well as from Eng
land and China and South America
and France and Turkey.
This is the charter they adopted:
l. That the suffrage be granted to
women and their equal status with
men upon legislative and administra-
tive bodies, both national and inter
national, be recognized.
2. That women, equally with men,
should have the protection of the law
against slavery, such as still exists in
some parts of eastern Europe, Asia
and Africa.
8. That a married woman should
have full personal and civil rights, in
GLIDING the right to the use and dis
posal of her own earnings and prop
erty, and that she should not be under
the tutelage of her husband.
4. That the married woman should
have the same rights over her chill
dren as the father.
5. That a married woman should
have the same rights to retain or
change her nationality as a man.

Small Fruit Culture Offers Wide Field
Well Drained Soil Much Better Than Moist
One for the Raspberry

Not everyone who attempts the cul-
tivation of small fruits will meet with
success any more than tht all will
succeed in other business. Still it
must be admitted that the culture of
The leading varieties Of small fruit Of
fers as wide and safe field for enter,
prise as is to be found in any other
branch of agriculture. Some will fail
for the reason that they obtained va
rieties unsuited to their soil or loca-
tion-there is no such thing as
general cultivation when applied to
the whole United States. Others will
attempt more than they are capable
of completing; and there are those
who imagine that all that is required
lis to obtain the plants and see that
they are planted, after which they can
sit down and wait for bountiful har-
vest. Such people are always disar
pointed, and it matters not what they
undertake, they are sure to be unfor-
tunate, and every experiment will end
in failure until they learn to labor as
well as to wait.
Strawberries, the Earliest Crop
The strawberry is the earliest crop
of small fruits sent to market, and
generally commands a good price.
The following hints should be pre-
served for future reference:
1t is a good rule to cultivate the
soil so frequently that the space be-
tween the rows of strawberries will
never be covered with runners, and
that the soil will be loose and mellow.
1t is important that mulch of some
kind be provided and placed on the
strawberry bed after the ground is
frozen, and left on until after all
danger of hard freezing in spring is
past. The strawberry mulch should
be put on in early winter. Scatter
the straw over the entire surface, GOV.
ering the spaces between the rows as
one covers the plants. Do not cover
the plants heavily, but put enough on
to prevent them from freezing and
thawing in early spring.
The soil cannot be too rich for
Strawberries Good berries will grow
on a soil that will raise good white
potatoes. A good fertilizer is we'll
rotted manure with little CONNER
cial potash and rock phosphate ap-
piled with the manure year before
the plants are set out.
Wood ashes make good fertilizer
for the strawberry or raspberry plan
tation Twenty bushels to the acre is
about right.
While it is important to plant good
varieties of strawberries, it is equally
important to plant good plants of
those varieties. Poor plants of d
famous kind will not do, and good
plants of a poor kind will not, but
they should be fine, well-grown plants
of a reliable variety, well adapted to
the soil and climate in which they are
to be grown.

Ideals and Happiness

Lasting happiness results from
building ideals into concrete struc-
lures that minister of human happi-
ness. The material things of the
world have their worth, but even that
depends upon the uses they are put
to. Many a log valuable for furniture
building has been used to fill swampy
places over which cordwood was
hauled. And the same is true of
ideals. To really count they must be
fitted to good ends. Joy comes from
protecting yourself in the future and
the welfare of the race.

Rice Exports
Increasing Rapidly

The United States exported more
than 100000 pounds of rice to Japan
during the first three months of this
year, according to figures of the Bu-
reau of Markets, United States De-

less than thousand pounds of this
commodity were exported to Japan
during the entire year of 1919.

strawberries must not be set too
deep The roots should be well spread
out and the plants set no deeper than
they originally grew in the field It
is wise plan to test several varie.
ties before setting out a commercial
planting in order to ascertain the va
rieties best adapted to the soil con-
ditions.
The easiest way to start black
berry plantation is to dig the roots
in November, cut them up into six
or eight-inch lengths, bury them in
sand layers through the winter and
plant out Zone piece in a place. next
spring.
The average yield of blackberries is
1858 quarts, although an acre has
been known that produced 10000
quarts.
Blackberries, as we'll as raspberries,
gooseberries and currants, may b.
pruned after they are in full leaf, o.
even in bloom, without apparent hurt.
Raspberries Are in Demand
Among the peculiarities of the black
raspberry is that of the annual travel
to new soil by the aid of tips. The
plants must be obtained from the tips
of the present years growth. When
the growing canes have reached about
four feet in length, the point should
be nipped off with the thumb and
finger, and soon branches will appear
along the cane, increasing the number
to take root and adding to the pro-
ductiveness of the plant next season.
This bearing cane should be left in its
place until fall. Later on, when it is
time for the tips to attach themselves
to the soil, the roofing can be facili-
tated by light covering of dirt. In
preparing for the crop in spring the
branches should be headed in the two
or three feet, according to their
strength.
A cultivator with square pointed
shovels is the best kind to use among
raspberries.
The black raspberry is different
from the rest of it's class both in habit
of growth and in makeup of it's fruit.
A well-drained soil is preferable to
moist one for the raspberry.
AS a remedy for raspberry canes
dying at fruiting time, close inspec-
ton of the plants is recommended,
and all diseased canes should be
promptly dug out and burned.
When the new-growth tips of black
cap raspberries begin to bend toward
the ground new plants can be easily
started Bend down and bury each
tip a few inches beneath the ground.
holding it in place by pegs, stone
or the weight of a little heaped-up
soil Most of the tips, if not dis
turbed will take root and form nice
plants by next spring, at which time
the parent canes can be severed
few inches from the plants, and the
latter can then be dug up and set out
wherever desired

Poison Ivy
In many places in the country, as

there are certain poisonous wild plants

severe inflammation of the skin. Poi
son ivy is often encountered. This
vine resembles the harmless woodbine,
but has three leaves instead of five.
The leaves are a lovely green, and a
white waxy fruit is sometimes seen on
the stem.
Ivy poisoning shows itself by swell
ing and reddening of the skin accom-
panied by sensation of itching and
burning. If the trouble is recognized
in the beginning the affected part
should be well washed with very soapy
water, the water being changed fire.

always used all her own butter on the

discovered a dead mouse in the crock

did the usual churning and produced a
fiHc-looking roll Of butter. But she
couldn't eat it, though she knew the
butter would satisfy anyone who did
not know about the mouse. So she
took it to the storekeeper, told him the
truth, and asked whether he would ex-
change ii for a roll from his cellar.
"You know" she said, making a
slight misquotation, "for what the mind
doesn't know the heart won't grieve
for"
"Oh, that's all right" replied the
oblfging storekeeper. "I'm glad to &C
commodate you"
He disappeared into the cellar and
moment later reappeared with a roll
Of butter similar to the one he had
taken down.
The woman thanked him and de-
parted. A few days later she was in
the store again.
