WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.
<tn tlic train from Edmonton to Win
nipeg the writer took a seat beside a
soldier who hud returned from the
front. On ills breast lie wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek lie bore a scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served tiis country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers in August,
1914, he hastened to the' recruiting
office, leaving his 320-acre farm, with
its crop ready for harvest, a full
equipment of farm implements, plenty
of horses, and u wife. The wife should
net he last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and loy
ally took hold of the question of pro
duction, while her husband was on his
way to tight the Hun. And she suc
ceeded. Iri 1915 she succeeded, and
again in 1916, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the indebtedness of the farm
paid off, a 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 tlie 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
plowing, seeding, summer fallowing
and reaping. They have been espe
cially successful with stock, and have
a splendid herd of shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock hull for $700. Their
herd was last year increased by 2‘i
calves.
Miss H. M. Hillman of Keeler, Sas
katchewan, is nnotlier successful
woman farmer. She has gone In ex
tensively for grain growing, and farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some of
the finest Percheron horses In Sas
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less suc
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
tlie Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still dem
onstrating, ttiat a versatile woman
may be just as good and successful a
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the rerv
eponsibilities of “running a farm,”
have been decided factoru in making
the farm a success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac
counts, reducing the grocer’s bills by
tlicir management of the poultry and
butter, taking care of the house, and,
very often, proving good advisers in
the economic management of the men
mid general conduct of the farm work.

Nora Will Know Better Now.
“Why, Nora, 1 am .surprised,” ex
claimed the head of tlie house as the
cook cpme rushing into the parlor while
he and the missus were entertaining
company. "It is very unseemly of you
to rush into tiie parlor in this manner.
It shows n lack of proper training, to
say the least. Now you should have
knocked at tlie door and asked my per
Inission to speak. Let us see if you
can’t do better. Walk out into tlie
other room and approach as I have
fob! veil.”
Xoi a walked away and then went
through tlie ceremony of knocking.
“Thar is better, Nora, much better.
Now wlutt was it you wished to tell
me.”
“Oil. sor, it's mighty sorry I am to
disturb ye. hut I thought ye’d like to
know Unit the house Is on fire.”

From the New York Tribune.
The reports of the national banks of the United States under the
call of May 10 show that their resources have increased over
$2,000,000,000 during the year. Their deposits have increase since
May a year ago $1,300,000,000, and their loans have increasel $508,
000,000. It is not possible to find in that statement evidence of infla
tion of credit, as it shows that depositors are banking their profits,
rather than relying upon the banks for loans to bolster declining
business. The reserves are now over $1,000,000,000, the excess
reserves over legal requirements having increased by $38,748,000
during the year. It is an unspeakable benefit that our banking affairs
function under strain most admirably. That is further shown by
both the expansion and contraction of the banking figures in this
city in connection with the Liberty loans.
Mr. Treman, deputy governor of the federal reserve bank, in his
address at Atlantic City gave similar figures in connection with all
three loans. In connection with the third loan the expansion was
from $262,000,000 to $655,000,000, with a contraction within a month
to $538,000,000, and the reverse of the expansion is not yet done.
Simultaneously, the treasury publishes the figures of the country's
currency for June 1. The decrease during May was $71,884,000, and
the increase of gold within a year was $285,384,000. The federal
reserve notes have increased $1,089,686,000. That is a remarkable
growth, but not more remarkable than the growth of trade on which
it is based, or than is justified by the amplitude of the geld cover.
"Within a year it has doubled, to over $1,000,000,000.^1#»der old
conditions there would be anxiety about an increase of $1,000,000,000
in bank notes, but they would have been irreducible. Now the total
will shrink when trade shrinks, as naturally as it increased when
trade increased.
It is singular to remark that, despite this satisfactory functioning
of our banking affairs, there is a deluge of proposal in congress to
improve upon it, and outside of congress a like surprising number of
protests against such aetion. In a single day a score of banking
amendments were introduced at Washington. None of them was
asked for, and some of them were almost unanimously condemned.
For example, the bill to guarantee deposits. The loss of deposits is
only nominal, and a guarantee would work to increase the loss by
making care unnecessary. Considering how satisfactory the situa
tion is, attempts to improve upon it are well described in the words
of Superintendent Skinner, addressing New York state bankers at
Atlantic city:
To my mi ml, any one who proposes radical changes in the banking
laws or the banking system of the country at this time invites disaster.
Petticoat Lane, Macedonia. j
From a Correspondent, in the London Times.
Every Thursday morning some one must
go marketing for the mess to the neigh
boring village of K. It is an agreeable
duty, for what Is the New Cut or Petti
coat lane on a Sunday to the many
colored glories of IC market?
The villagers themselves make as it
were the groundwork of the pattern—the
men in their dark blue braided Eton
jackets, the women with their red or
brown aprons. These are good to look at,
but there is better still, for the whole
countryside has come in with its dogs
and its goats and its donkeys. There are
the knitting gipsy women who make
stockings, and never cease from knitting
as they walk up and down. With them Is
a little barefoot, elfish girl, with a won
derfully dirty face and a tangle of black
hair, who looks at us out of the corners
of her savage eyes. Then 'there are the
long bearded priests in their black gowns
and tall black hats, ragged, benevolent
and digniflied. There is a sprinkling of
Turks in fezzes, and best of all there are
the shepherds. They wear white stock
ings, white kilts, white jerseys; round
their waists are red sashes; round their
heads bright handkerchiefs; and they
carry their long slender crooks in their
hands. The shepherds do not appear to
do much business, though one or two are
interested in a booth where a man is
making combs for wool. For the most
part they sit round tables, gossiping
ferociously, drinking tiny cups of coffee,
rolling and smoking cigarets. There is
among them one old man with a narrow
hawkish face, sunburnt and crinkled,
great flaps of ears and a long grey mous
tache. Surely there is a history written
in that face, but is it of cutting throats
and holding to ransom or simply of piping
to the lonely flocks? He is too, inscruta
ble for me.
The shops are as varied as the custom
ers. That one which announces itself as
"Canteen B. A." pays the penalty of
greatness by having no native trade; but
there is a village Wlilteley's— pantopo
leion—its frontage decked with gorgeous
handkerclilfs, that is full to overflowing.
Next come the tailor, the cobbler, the
barber, and up an alley hard by the
blacksmith is shoeing a donkey, which
he does by throwing the poor beast on its
back and lashing its four feet to a stake.
The taps of his hammer blend with a
mournful dirge from mo village school
where the children are chanting the
alphabet. How odd and delightful to find
that small Greeks have to learn their
own alphabet; and they certainly seem
not to pronounce it as well as wo do.
Over the way lives our friend whom we
call Alexander the Coppersmith. He sits
on a table by his big bellows, a copper
dish on his knees, while the wood smoke
curls up from his fire on the floor. On
other days he deals only in copper ves
sels which he makes himself with a very
graceful art. Today his shop has become
a general store, and he sells lamb skins
and onions and cloth of a peculiarly hide
ous check. Another friend Is the grinning*
blaekavised boy at the vegetable stall.
"Spinach?” he says in answer to our
question; “Spinach finish. Today salad.”
But when we spurn the lettuce and garlic
that he wants to foist on us. he naively
produces a secret hoard where there is
spinach in plenty. He is, 1 believe, not
unreasonably dishonest. It is he, more
over, who, as interpreter, makes a bar
gain for us with the knitting gipsies. It is
he who, by calling on the awful name of
the control post officer, strikes terror to
the heart of a cheating mat seller. So
what matters a little short weight of
spinach?
Last and loveliest of all are the shops
that are, with unconscious poetry, called
fancy shops—low and dark, with little
crabbed lattice windows, full of the most
beautiful things. I cannot tell what they
are, for these are fairy shops such as we
see only in dreams or, perhaps, once in a
lifetime as we flit In a car through a
sleepy southern country town at home. In
front of them the women gather thickly,
and come away bearing ribbons and trink
ets, but we stand afar off, for we know
that If we looked too closely all the colors
and the glitter and the mystery would
crumble before our eyes.
SOLDIERS'MINDS IN
NEED OF RELAXATION
Are Given Something to Think
of Besides the Art of
Killing Huns.
Headquarters of the American
Troops With the British Army in
France (by mail).—American boys in
the war zone learning from British of
ficers and soldiers what the war has
taught in the way of battle tactics are
getting an antidote for the mental ef
fects of their fighting education. This
is offset by a compound of gardening
and pets.
“It is not a good thing for these
boys that their minds he centered sole
ly on stabbing, shooting and throttling,
said a young colonel of the British
army to the correspondent of the As
sociated Press today. This- officer,
who won his promotion at a little over
30 by gallant conduct at Boos and other
places where the Black Watch distin
guished itself, now commands one of
the British army schools where mus
ketry, machine gun fire, the use of the
bayonet and jlujitsu are taught.
iie pointed to an American boy who
was industriously spading a future po
tato patch. "This is how we try to
lighten their thoughts," he added.
A New Zealand band was playing
lively airs on the green, a litter of pigs
closure alongside which was a pen of
from a sty hidden behind a ttiicket and
lust around the corner hens were
clucking to their broods from an en
closure adongside which was a pen of
highly bred rabbits. Meanwhile two
pet dogs barked in answer to the rattle
of machine gun3 from the ranges
where newly arrived allies were trying
their marksmanship.
The men who were not shooting, cul
tivating ground already sown.or pre
paring for further seeding were trim
ming the lawn or tending flower beds.
There Is everything here to suggest
the opposite of war.
The commanding officer who happens
to lie one of the men under whom tIre
regretted Johnny Poe served would say
little of the work of his pupils with
the bayonet and the gun further than
that the American boys were keen to
Wo and uu-'vk to absorb. Th*>
ing education he left to his instructors.
This policy prevails at other Brit
ish school of the same character. Some
of them add bee keeping to their pro
gram. All of them have their pets and
most of them their gardens. All of
them will give their American pupils
much to relieve the depressing effects
of continual thoughts of bloodshed.
Four Years Ago.
Four years ago the red god Mars
was resting, drowsy, on his throne;
and so we talked of choo-choo cars,
and small beer gossip was our own.
Then trifling things Important seemed,
and twaddle wae our stock in trade;
reformers o’er the country screamed—
you will recall the noise they made.
Bridge whist employed the lazy dames
at country clubs throughout the land;
and stories of the baseball games at
eventide were in demand. Would Jinks
he chosen cOhnty clerk, or would he
run against defeat? Discussing this
our jaws we’d work, for hours together
on the street. Would Willard get the
dingo's goat? That was one theme of
long ago. Were girls entitled to the
vote, or should they stay at home and
sew? The neighbors used to come at
night and talk with me of many things;
and we would whoop around and fight
o'er cabbages and cats and kings. But
since the war flags were unfurled and
battle eagles raised their scream, it
seems we’re in another world; the old
time planet w'as a dream. The country
clubs are drear and hare, no giggles
from their porches rise; the girls no
longer gather there, to see who gets
the booby prize. And men have learned
to think grave thoughts, and let the
beer and sklttleo go; to plan how they
may hand some swats, by sacrifices,
to thfe foe.

ROMANCE IN STORY
OF “WHITE METAL”
Spies Now Risk Lives For Plati
num, Once Thrown Away
as Waste.
Washington, I). C.—New chapters In
the romance of platinum, once thrown
away as waste hut now the most
sought after metal in the world, have
been written since the war began. Na
tions are fighting for it. Adventurers
are risking their lives to obtain it.
Women spies and diplomatic agents
ere playing the game of international
intrigue to control even an ounce of
the ‘noble metal." ns it is known to
geologists, so valuable lias it become
and so necessary to the prosecution of
the world war.
The United States government re
cently too!: a hand in the game by
commandeering all unworked platinum
In this country, setting therefore a
price of $105 an ounce, as compared
with $22.85 10 years ago. Even th's
action, however, has not obtained suf
ficient of the metal for war purposes.
Officials who failed to heed the warn
ings of platinum experts at the begin
ning of the war arc wondering how
they cun retrieve their error in not
vigorously meeting the national ne
cessity by using every legitimate means
to obtain platinum. The total amount
of known platinum throughout the
world is only 4,000,000 ounces, of which
about one-fourth is In the United
States. Much of that Is virtually Irre
claimable through use in dental work
and personal Jewelry, and (lie output,
since the Russian debacle, has fallen
to a fraction of what It was In times
of peace.
It is the last reason which is giving
officials so much concern. Russia has
been the source of most of the world’s
platinum and, in 1913, was credited
with a production of 250.000 Troy
ounces, Clumbla with 15,000; New
South Wales and Tasmania, United
States (California and Oregon being
almost the only producing states) only
483; Borneo and Sumatra. 200, and
Canada, 50.
The German invasion of Russia gave
the enemy the opportunity of replenish
ing his stocks of platinum, to the detri
ment of the allies. Mining in Russia
virtually has ceased now, even if the
metal could be shipped out of the
country, and the whole world looks to
Columbia for platinum. Suggestions
for a government monopoly of platinum
have been advanced in the Columbian
congress. Whatever action is taken,
the fortunes of war will mean wealth
for the southern republic.
One of the most spectacular feats of
the wnr was the concentration of 20,000
ounces of platinum in Russia by a
young American mining engineer, at
tached to the embassy there, who re
cognized the importance of obtaining
tho metal. Each precious brick,
wrapped in a leather cover, was brought
half way across the world to the United
States and turned over to tile govern
ment for use in the manufacture ot
sulphuric acid, a constituent of ex
plosives, for the manufacture of con
tact points in electrical apparatus and
other uses necessary to war. An inter
esting history of platinum is given by
the Eatln-Amerlcan division of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic com
merce.
Platinum was uncovered in what is
now Columbia in 1735, by a Spaniard
named Don Antonio de Ulloa, who ac
companied a French scientific ex
pedition, and his account of it was the
first information regarding tho metal
to be brought to the attention of
Europeans. Its resistabllity to acids
and the difficulty of working it were re
marked upon, hut it was not considered
to be nearly as precious as gold, and
was used at times by counterfeiters
as a basis for coins. It was not until
the middle of the 19th century that tho
demand for platinum for use in chemi
cal laboratories and for electrical uses
brought its value up to the point where
it ranked ns one of the most precious
metals.
In the placer mining of gold in
Columbia it was formerly thrown away
as waste, and when the rise in price
made it more valuable than gold the
ground on which the waste had- been
thrown became in Its turn a field for
mining operations, and even the streets
of the principal center of gold refining
in Columbia, Quibdo, were torn up and
the soil washed for particles of the
new treasure. One man tore down his
Store In order to get at the ground
beneath, and found so much platinum
that he was enabled to rebuild and
make an extra *4,000 for his trouble.
Platinum Is recovered principally from
the beds of streams, the particles hav
ing been deposited there through ero
sion of large rocks, classified geologi
cally as “tertiary conglomerates.'' Tho
platinum grains are found with gold,
the proportion varying from 5 to 60
per cent of platinum. The two metals
are recovered by washing the sand and
gravel of streams. The marked rise in
the price of platinum in the last two
or three years has considerably stimu
lated mining activities in Columbia, es
pecially on the part of the native min
ers. Present imports of Columbian
ph-timim by the United States repre
sents almost the total visible exports
of that country.
Paper Bullets Paralyzed.
Villa, the bandit, was much surprised.
The rich old man had fallen as the guns
o£ the firing squad roared. On almost
any other occasion of Ihe kind Villa would
have oxoected ids victim to fall, but
this lime—
"Por Dios'.” Had his men forgotten, or
bad they disobeyed?
Puzzled, the chief walked up to tlie
crumpled figure and bent over. There
were no wound marks. Yet the man
neither spoke nor moved. Nevertheless,
he was alive.
Dnablo to understand. Villa and lit* men
left the prostrate, motionless form. A
little iater came rescuers. They found
that the man had not been touched by a
bullet. In fact the bullets were made of
paper—at Villa's order. For some mys
terious reason, be did not wish to harm
the man but merely to frighten him Into
giving him money, hut the suspense and
worry brought on the shock. The man has
not spoken or moved a limb since.
