WAN'S FAIR TO BE
PURELY EDUCATIONAL
WOMEN TAUGHT HOW TO DO
' THEIR “BIT" FOR COUNTRY BY
EXHIBITS AND LECTURES.
!
MUCH ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
j Demonstrations In Home Eoonomics,
i Child Welfare, Sewing, Cooking,
Canning, Gardening, Happy
Home Making, Eto.
The Texas Woman's Fair will ba
held in Houston November 5 to 10,
inclusive.
• The fair is to be of an educational
nature, and will not smack of a car*
nival In any sense of the word.
Certain days will be set aside dur-
ing the fair week when patriotic wo-
men will have an opportunity to listen
•to lectures along the lines they have
selected to follow in doing their "bit’’
for the country.
This being a fair for women, the ex-
hibits pertaining to the home will
start in the front yard flower garden,
on through the reception hall to the
kitchen, on into the garden, the poul-
try yard, dairy and garage; also prac-
tical demonstrations of how to become
better buyers, cooks, managers, wives,
mothers, etc., and to develop love for
the beautiful and to encourage and
work to the one end that is essential
to the perfect home.
Enthusiasm has grown in the past
few years in the formation of Mothers’
Clubs and Parent-Teachers’ Associa-
tions and Child Welfare Clubs, and
the welfare of the child has been in-
corporated into the programs.
The show for better babies will be
much larger this year than ever be-
fore, and all the kiddies are to be ex-
amined by physicians for scoring
points, which include physical perfec-
tion alone, may, as has happened at
previous contests, make known to
mothers diseases obscure or acute in
the child, thereby affording immediate
proper measures to be taken by the
parents to avoid possible serious con-
sequences.
The patriotic duty of every woman
now, since the winning of the war
seems in a large measure to depend on
releasing proper and sufficient food to
the demands as they are needed, can-
ning and conserving good food prod-
ucts will be featured in attractive
booths at the fair by many counties
throughout the State of Texas. Many
canning clubs will have prize exhibits
•which will be worth the time and ex-
pense to travel miles to see.
In the Girls’ Canning department
priaes will be $50 for the first largest
and best county exhibit, judged for ex-
cellence and variety; $30 for second,
and $20 for third. Individual smaller
prizes will range from $5 to $15.
No elaborate work will be exhibited
in the needlework department, but
there will be a wonderful collection
of plain sewing, quilts, rag rugs, knit-
ting goods, crocheting, etc., as well as
exhibits of bread, cakes and pies.
•_ At exhibit hall, and In j^cord-
ance unTtrtti's itmes, there will be a
large area of space devoted to the Red
Cross work, where members of that
patriotic order will distribute infor-
mation with the giving of demonstra-
tions and instructions in knitting and
making of supplies. This division, as
well as all booths, will be gay with the
national colors, Old Glory to figure
prominently in the decorations.
During the fair, and under the direc-
tion of the Young Men’s Business
League of Houston, a provision has
been made for the instruction of about
600 loyal women who enrolled for the
work in the agricultural and gardening-
division iif the National League of Wo-
man’s Service, and identified with
these talks will be lectures on home
economics by Mrs. E. M. Barrett of the
state agricultural department, Miss
Mamie Gearing of the University of
Texas, Mrs. Annie Reid of the Harris
County Canning Girls’ Club, Mrs. Fred
Fleming, president of the State Fed-
eration of Women’s Clubs, while iden-
tified with this subject in home eco-
nomics will be a visitor of note, Mrs.
Julian Heath, national president of the
Housewives’ League, who will spend
several days at the fair and give a
series of talks on “Conquering the
High Cost of Living” with those prac-
tical demonstrations which have made
the league a nation-wide force for con-
servation.
At this critical period In the his-
tory of our country the world war has
brought home to us all the necessity
that we all individually must do
something to help lighten the burden
at home as well as for country, no mat-
ter how small, by attending the fair
and seeing the wonderful exhibits and
listening to the instructive lectures
by noted speakers on the economical
questions of the day—and the most im-
portant question of them all—the food
question. We will then be enabled to
do our “bit” with greater ease and
much less serious thought, thereby
learning to prepare and conserve all
you need in an improved and better
way.
Special rates will be given by rail-
roads for fair week—November 5 to IQ,
Fearing U-Boat Attack, Heiress
Leaps in Ocean.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 27.—Inspired
by a fear of German submarines, Miss
Helen Cudahy, youngest daughter of
the millionaire Milwaukee packer,
leaped to her death in the Atlantic
ocean on Oct. 19, from a steamship
which was taking her to France on
a Red Cross mission, according to a
cablegram from Paris, received here
this afternoon.
It is believed the heiress, who was
26 years old, became panic stricken as
soon as the ship entered the danger
zone, and brooded over the possibility
of an attack until her mind became
deranged. The news of her disap-
pearance was spread through the ship
by a friend, who visited her state-
room and discovered a hurriedly writ-
ten note which said:
“It is all for the best. Keep as
much as possible from father and
mother. Notify my brother Michael."
A search of the ship failed to reveal
any trace of her.
Lieut. Michael Cudahy, a brother,
stated today he had no details further
than the notification of his sister’s
death cabled to him by the captain
of the steamship, which reached Bor-
deaux on Friday.
Waldemar Helmholz, a brother-in-
law of Miss Cudahy, said she went
abroad in company with a New York
girl and the proprietress of a school
in Paris, where Miss Cudahy was a
student several years ago. He de-
clared the school mistress intended to
start an institution in Paris and Miss
Cudahy was to assist her in the work.
Lieutenant Cudahy was summoned
from Camp Custer when the word of
his sister’s death was received. An-
other brother is also a lieutenant at
the same cantonment.
Miss Cudahy was born in Milwaukee
and received her education at Mil-
waukee Downer College and at Dana
Hall. After traveling two years she
returned to this city and made her
bow to society at the Town club.
Although the daughter of one of
the richest men in the country and a
social favorite, Miss Cudahy cared
nothing for society, preferring, she
said, the work of helping those whose
lives were less fortunate than hei
bwn. In pursuing this inclination
Miss Cudahy had done much in the
interest of the Red Cross society and
the Associated Charities of Milwau-.
kee.
Patrick Cudahy, her father, did j
not receive word of her death until |
this morning, when he returned to j
Milwaukee from his summer home at |
Pine Lake.
Miss Cudahy was in France about [
one year ago, but was forced to re- [
turn to the United States by a ner-
vous breakdown. j
Since the war began Miss Cudahy-
was keenly interested in the Work of
caring for war victims. She was bn
her way to drive an automobile in
France, and with this in view had
studied automobile mechanics at a
garage in this city.
President Makes Appeal for Help to
Turk Victims.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 28.—Presi-
dent Wilson tonight appealed to the
American people again to contribute
to the relief of the stricken Armenian
and Syrian peoples. The situation
among more than two million desti-
tute survivors of Turkish atrocities,
he said, is “so distressing as to make
a special appeal to the sympathies of
all.”
The President’s statement address-
ed to the American people follows:
“One year ago in compliance with
resolutions passed by the Senate and
by the House of Representatives, I
appointed days upon which the people
of the United States might make such
contributions as they felt disposed for
the aid of the stricken Armenian and
Syrian peoples.
American diplomatic and consular
representatives and other American
residents recently returned from
Western Asia assure me than many
thousands of lives were saved from
starvation by the gifts of the Ameri-
can people last winter.
“Reports indicate that of orphans
alone there are more than four hun-
dred thousand, besides women and
other dependent children reaching a
total of more than two million desti-
tute survivors. The situation is so
distressing as to make a special ap-
peal to the sympathies of all.
“In view of the urgent need I call
again upon the people of the United
States to make such further contribu-
tions as they feel disposed in their
generosity for the aid of these suffer-
ing peoples. Contributions may be
made through the American Red
Cross, Washington, D. C., or direct to
the American Committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian Relief, Cleveland H.
Dodge, treasurer, No. 1 Maddison
Avenue, New York City.

Uniformed Men Beat and Rob a Line-
man.
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 27.—Two men
in soldiers uniform held up and rob-
bed O. C. White of Rowlett near the
court house Saturday night, beating
him into almost insensibility with his
own “climbers**. White is a lineman
employed by the Texas company and
he reported that the men in khaki
had robbed him of $52. The soldiers
made their escape after the robbery.
White staggered to the car line and
made his way to the police station
where he imported the holdup. He
was badly beaten about the head, re-
ceiving treatment at the emergency
hospital.
“I met the two men on the inter-
urban coming from Fort Worth,” he
told the detectives “and the three of
us talked until we got to Dallas. We
left the car near the' union terminal
station and they suggested that I get
into a crap game with them. I re-
fused. Then one of them invited me
to go with him to the home of his
aunt but this also I refused. I start-
ed ahead of them when one of them
stepepd up and grabbed the climbers
from under my arm and struck me
across the head several times and
then the two went through my pock-
ets.”
Detectives and police officers were
given a description of the two men
and a thorough search was begun. It
is thought that within twenty-four
hours their capture will be effected.
Everybody should take the home paper and keep
posted in regard to the happenings of the city and
county. The Temple Daily Telegram arrives in
Lampasas earty in the morning and carries Associated
Press news up to 2:30 a. m. of the morning on which
it arrives.

When the Governor of Idaho asked
the I. W. W. if it would make a labor
agreement for six months, the answer
was: “We will take anything we can
get but we will not make any agree-
ment, for tomorrow we may want
something else.”
Demands for a six-hour day are al-
ready heard. Next it will be a four-
hour day and then no hours for work,
but the confiscation of property on
the socialistic plan.
Do we need the things that the so-
cialist platform demands? In all the
history of the nations, have the crude,
fanciful notions of the Socialists ever
stood the test'of experience?
We are appalled by the fearful cost
of the war in men and money. Lost
populations can be replaced and lost
property can be restored, but what
will happen if the constitution and
laws for the protection of property
and human rights are swept away?
The French revolution is a century

Do the people of this country real-

times ? Do we realize that the I. W.

thorities of the land and that 100,000
of its adherents are seeking to control
our industries and the labor on our
farms in four of our Northwestern
States—Washington, Oregon, Mon-
tana and Idaho ?
Must we pass through the throes of
the French revolution, tear down the
altars of our churches and place with-
in their most sacred precincts, as was
done in Paris, the women of the
street? Shall we wipe out the Chris-
tian Sabbath and substitute a day of
riotous pleasure? Shall we, as they
did in France, while proclaiming lib-
erty, fraternity and equality, drag
protesting statesmen to the. scaffold
and establish the mob in the halls of
legislation? Look abroad and see
what is happening. Note the terrific

Killing Weevils.
Folks who have stored beans and
peas for winter will need to protect
them from weevils. Carbon bisulphide
will give that protection. L. Haseman
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture gives directions for
the treatment.
When the seeds are ready for stor-
age place the sacks or other contain-
ers in a metal tank, chest or tight
box, which is as free as possible from
cracks along the sides and bottom.
Pour the carbon bisulphide into a
shallow dish, set the dish on the top
of the beans or peas in the box and
spread a canvas or other cover oyer
the top of the box. For a box two
feet wide, two feet deep and three
feet long use a teacupful of carbon
bisulphide. Use the same amount
whether the box is half full or entire-
ly filled with beans or peas. Select a
warm day when the temperature is
above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. In 24
hours remove the cover and allow the
beans or peas to air. Then store them
in an unheated room. This will pro-
tect the beans or peas throughout the
winter. If the weevil^ are present
again in spring the fumigation may
be repeated.
Carbon bisulphide is a clear liquid
with a foul odor and like gasoline it
evaporates quickly. Its fumes are
heavier than air so they settle down-
ward, penetrating sacks of beans,
grain or other food materials to be
treated. The fumes are quickly fatal
t° weevils and other small insects,
may aifect the germination of the
seeds, but it does not in any way
affect the food value of either beans
or peas.
Small quantities of beans or peas
may be treated with heat by placing
them in a slow oven for an hour or
two, bringing them to a temperature
of 120 to 150 Fahrenheit, without in-
juring their food value, though it
may injure them for seed.
The bean and pea weevils deposit
their eggs in the developing pods in
the garden or field and the pest is
brought into storage inside the dried
peas or beans, so it is necessary that
they be treated when first stored to
prevent further damage. Carbon bi-
sulphide may be used for destroying-
all kinds of Stored grain insects, pests
of cereals, flour, meal, clothes moths
and other, similar household pests.—
