MISS JOY HIGGINS, who will be
heard in her war lecture, "The
. Will to Victory," at the Boyd
6, says that the importance of labor
in this war was very significant.
Doors closed by precedent and war
closed doors were opened to this
mission, and the two governments
did everything in . their power to
make the Americans see and feel the
activities of these two great nations
at war.
Among one of the honors shown
the mission was the 'Press of the
World" luncheon given in the ban
queting hall of the Whitehall palace,
which place has not oeen so used
.since the days of Charles the Second.
How different was the bill of fare
though from that of the sumptuous
days of the gay Charles. This re
mark is not ingratitude for hospital
ity shown, for the generous Brit
ish give you of their scanty best, and
Mis3 Higgins says, you, a good
American, have hardly the heart to
cat it. ,
.Another honor shown them was in
France. . General Noix, governor of
Des Invalides, admitted the delega
tion into the very tomb of Napoleon,
which is never open to visitors.
The Chamber of Deputies of
France adjourned amid a demonstra
tion in honor of the mission, which
was present in the house. , .
How our boys welcome American
visitors in France, and many interest
ing impressions which Miss Higgins
received on her tour will be brought
out in her lecture next Tuesday eve
ning. The admission is free, but the
collection which will be taken up at
this time- will be given to the Sham
rock fund for the disabled Irish sol
diers and sailors, which fund is
sponsored by the Countess of Kings
ton, through whose influence Miss
Higgins was enabled to - come to
Omaha at this time. The Countess
ct Kingston is being assisted in the
management by the Omaha Woman's
Press club, of which Miss Higgins is
a member. ,

gathered it is canned and stored away,
so that throughout the long winter
months the housewives will be able
to supply their needs from their own
cellars without making inroads on the
nation's food , supply, which is so
sorely needed in army camp and
trench.
The shortage of help and of food
has brought many changes in home
life. Old standards of "everybody
help mother" have been revived. The
easy, luxurious life of a few years ago
is gone. Every one is busy with the
bustling business of war and the trials
and sacrifices are knitting home ties
more closely.
If the test of the garden is in the
canning, the war gardens of Omaha
are a huge success.
Many "a. tiny back-yard garden is
being converted into rows of jars of
corn and beans and beets, and is fill
ing the cellar with many bushels of
mealy spuds and onions and carrots.

JAN THE VEGETABLES FROM THEIR WAR GARDEN
Mrs. Harvey Leavitt, 1916 South
Thirty-second avenue, has ' been a
faithful war gardener and she is reap
ing her reward in many bushels of
food. ' The family has enjoyed new
potatoes from their own garden all
summer and still have many bushels
to store away in the cellar. She has
canned dozens of quarts of corn and
beans and beets.
Since the war she has dispensed
with the services of maids and does
all of her own housework. Her spa
cious, welUkept home bears eloquent
testimony to the fact that the home
has not, suffered by this bit of war
time sacrifice and the companionship
between the mother and children as
they work together in the garden or
kitchen shows how the bloody busi
ness of war has rechristened the sanc
tity of home life.
This busy home-making mother is
garden chief and canning master and
still finds time to give two days of
every week to Red Cross work. She
is a member of the Hanscom Park
Red Cross auxiliary.
Mrs. J. B. Reinhardt, -2345 South

spring her strawberry patch was red,
with berries. There is almost no vege
table or fruit which her garden does
not include asparagus, beans, corn,
cabbage, peppers and potatoes are all
there. And there is a quota of Swiss
chard and rhubarb and eggplant and
turnips and carrots.
Mrs. Rcinhart was a war gardener
last year, too, and was able to reap a
large harvest. She stored a large
sack of beans and a quantity of dried
corn away for winter use and canned
a whole cellar full of other vegetables
and fruits.
Because of the sugar shortage
Omaha women are canning less pre
serves and jelly than usual this year.
Most of them are putting away a
small amount, so that they will have
a bit of sweets for Thanksgiving and
the Christmas holidays.
All Omaha women are working in
harmony to save foodstuff. The en
tire city has been organized in the
work and the women m every" block
are conscientiously doing their part.
The work is under the supervision of
trained food experts and the block
