Artie's luminosity toward his former

or forgotten, for he pounced joyfully
upon the two Americans. and with
gusto and eclat presented them to her

Then more wine was ordered to
toast the bride, and Artie extolled &c

Chicago, Nov. 15.-The newest thing
in the farm bureau movement is a
woman's department which shall, just
as nearly as possible, represent the
great and important congregation of
farm women in the country.
President Howard of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, has ap-
pointed a committee of four women to
work out the details of the women's
farm bureau department and they
will no doubt present an outline of a
plan shortly.
The committee consists of Mrs
Vera Busick Schuttler, Missouri; Mrs
John c. Ketcham, Michigan; Mrs
lzetta Brown, West Virginia, and Mrs.
A. E. Brigden, New York.
The personnel of the committee was
chosen by President Howard from a
long list of names of women already
well identified with farm bureau or
farm organization work. Mrs. Brig
den is known throughout New York
for her active labor in developing the
home bureau. She is president of the
Cortland county home bureau and
president of the state federation of
home bureaus.
