8 B THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 26, 1916. What Women Are Doing in the World Startlingly unique, but promising to do lasting good service ia the i American Woman's league of Manila, Philippine Islands, which was organ ized last month to promote public welfare and American ideals on the island, but particularly to augment in every possible way the work already done towards the development of , i .l. t!.-.-- I v iraue ociween inc vjniicu iaic in the Orient, and to further the devel opment of resources in the Philip- Dines. . Mrs. A. S. Crossland is head of the society and her committee on ship ping and trade named fifty members on the committee some one to rep !. resent each state and territory of the united Mates to inform the commit tee as to the industries of their re spective states, and give publicity as to possibilities ot trade between eacn state and the Orient. It is proposed that this ' commit tee shall get out a small map showing trade routes between tne united States, Philippine Islands and the China coast. A list of exports from these islands will also show on the map. The idea is to give the maximum of information to the people in the United states. How to help pot America first in far eastern markets is the problem be fore this organization of American women. Where two years ago each Chinese user of foreign goods was spending 14.9 cents with an American manu facturer, today he is' spending only 9 ccnis. America is now Dui-a poor third in the foreign commerce .of China. The Japanese competitor can prom ise delivery of his goods in about a week., English goods from the Hong kong base can be delivered in about the same time. The American sales man is fearfully handicapped by dis tance, by delayed shipments, by lack of bottoms, feeble though growing in terest on the part of the home manu facturer, and frequently by lack of banking facilities. - ,,, The Manila Times of Sunday, Oc tober 1, devotes i great deal of space to thia subject and makes an appeal for Manila as a distributing point for an Oriental base. Although favored by a protective tariff, the Philippines imported last year over half its foreign-produced 'bread-stuffs from countries other than the United States. Is it not a sad com mentary that last year, in an Ameri can possession and with nearly every other nation at war, less tqan half the total trade was with the United States? . .- . v Travel between the United States ' and the Orient will be encouraged by the league also. . .- a Mrs. W. .E, Barkley, president of the Nebraska Equal Suffrage asso ciation, and Dr. Hallie Ewing, chair man of the political science depart ment of the Lincoln Woman's club, have prepared a valuable program for the study of bills of interest to women which will be considered in the next session of the legislature. The bills to be studied are: Child labor legisla tion; state fund for mothers: mini mum wage taws; district workhouse farms, and the eight-hour law: The 'history of each bill will be studied; the existing statutes', their good and bad qualities, will be considered; the standard law or the ideal law will be discussed, and finally an open forum will be held at which prominent per sons interested in the bill will be pres ent to give their views of .the subject under consideration. - , . . - . '( 'i . The San Francisco Chronicle ' re ports that equal suffrage is indeed reaching its climax in California. It has now gone down into the mud-and-stkks hovel of the lowly squaw and placed her on a par with the so ciety woman in the mansion on the hill. At the polls on election day no distinction was made between the female of the species, be she copper colored aborigine in red shawl and calico or paleface lady, in silks and laces. -,. But something strikingly unusual Ins come to pass. A number of the Piute women of the Owens valley, registered at Bishop for the general election. They were the first squaws m the Golden State, and probably in the entire country, to east ballots. All waited until after the primaries to register, or some peculiar reason, known only to themselves, and stated no party affiliations. They were un emotional and showed little enthusi asm, but were far more de terminal! than their white sisters.

After his father had quieted down he told him about the lady that was so kind to him. The next morning he was there right on the dot. "Here, take this basket and don't open it till you get home," she said. He was very excited as. he walked homeward.

There was also a note saying that she would give his father steady em ployment if he would call on the morrow. That night they both went to bed full of turkey and other good things. They always had plenty to eat and his father is still working at the same place. t (Honorable Mention.) Life of Some Cranberries. Hazel Parmenter, Aged 11 Years, Ashland, Nebraska.. Blue Side. I grew in the eastern part of this country. My mother was a plant about as large as a strawberry vine. First 1 was a blossom, then a green berry, then the sun soon turned me red, and after that Well, I was taken off the vine by a girl's finger and dropped into a cup. Finally I found myself packed in a big barrel and the lid was nailed on tight We don't know what happened next but we must have taken a long trip, for we were rolled and tumbled about . . Then there came a rolling and bumping,1 and after that whack! A hammer hit the head of the barrel and cracked it. It was the first time we had seen sunlight for a week. Off came the lid and we found ourselves in a grocery store. A few minutes later a rosy-cheeked lad came in and said, "Mamma wants two quarts ot cranberries." At the first dip of the cup I was caught; and then into a paper sack I went The little lad took me home, and I heard his moth er say, "We will have them for Thanksgiving." Here- I am and I will say good-bye. " This is the first time I have writ ten and I hope to see my letter print ed. If I don't win the prize I am going to keep trying until I do. I wish all the Busy Bees a Happy Thanksgiving. " f (Honorable Mention.) Thanksgiving Dinner. " . By Martha Johnson, Aged 13 Years, 717 East Fourth Street, Fremont, , Neb. Blue Side. ' On Thanksgiving, one of rny friends asked twelve of us girls for, dinner. We were all there by 11 o'clock, ' which was the due time. When we came a person dressed like a turkey told us where to go, and then we entered a room. It was dimly lit and decorated with pictures of tur keys and fowls, and there were also some stuffed fowls. In the center of the room was a stand with a bowl and long strings leading from it After we had played some games we all found the strings that had our names tied to the end. " We followed these strings and they lead us to a place at the table. At the head of each plate was a paper.turkey, and you could take the head off and it was filled with candy.. We had a turkey and a goose and many other delicious things for dinner.. After dinner we played till 2 o'clock, then we went home. ..... ,, , .. . .... ' The First Thanksgiving. By Lucille John, Aged 10 Years, Elm wood, Neb., R. F. D. 1. Blue Side. Once a long time ago the Pilgrims people of England, came to America. They landed in Massachusetts.

You can talk as you pleas about all th won ders wrought by new remedies, but when you come down to hard faeta there is noth ing like good old iron to put color in your cheeks and good sound, healthy flesh on your hones. It is also a great nerve and stomach strengthener and the best blood builder in tha world. . The only trouble was that the old forms of Inorganic iron like trnetare of Iron, iron acetate, etc, often ruined people's teeth, upset their stomachs and wer not assimilated and for these rea sons they frequently did more harm than good. But with the discovery of the newer forms of organie iron all this has been over eame. Nnxated Iron for example, 1 pleasant to take, doe not injur the teeth aad is almost Immediately beoetteimL .

Many, many hundreds of the letters are classed the judges tell us as masterpieces on the sub ject of salesmanship and store service, and for this reason and the close competition and relative value of so many of the letters makes the verdict of the committee of judges one of slow progress, as they will work out the winning letter strictly on its merits, scored from a scale of points, with the WRITERS' NAMES UNDER COVER. RAYMONDS' attitude is that of neutral interest, with an ejuaJ appreciation for each letter mailed us in the contest, from which we will gain such a rich and valuable compilation of ideas that may be of such great use to our entire organization in shaping and perfect ing a store which in all Ha policies and aims will reflect credit upon : itself in continued growth aa the years come and go just in that pro-i portion which renders THE LARGEST SERVICE and greatest use fulness to our CUSTOMERS.
