ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR
THE WOMAN FARMER
“Once again,” says “Woman's Cen
tury,” “the adaptability an 1 skill of
women have confounded thy critics—
those incredulous critics, the farmers.
They admit that in the recent elfi- m
ciency test at Maidstone (Mugland) —
a very high standard has been reached
In the milking competition more than
one-fourth gained over 90 marks. Two
woman thatchers. who had only been
at the work for five weeks, secured
the highest possible rating. The com
petitions were arranged by the Kent
women’s agricultural committee. Mrs.
F. Heron-Maxwell, chairman of the or
ganizing committee, said there were
9,000 women registered as la no work
ers in Kent, also 300,400 members of
the “Women’s Land Army.”

Five natives recently arrested at
\SUka charged with allowing food fish

A THROUGH TICKET
VIA
Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Ry,
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to $15 00 as against
buying to Seattle and rebuying there.
By buying over the C. M. & St. P. Ry you are assured the comfort
that comes from riding behind an Electric locomotive—the most pow
erful in the world—and that personal attention which is a feature of
"Milwaukee” service.
For tickets, berth reservations and other particulars consult
your nearest Steamship Agent.
