Gist at, Ballard, she bravely smiles. After the war was over she net about getting a pension from the Fritish government that her men had served #0 well. Red tape enmeshed her, She wrote letters and received lettera— even a letter from the king and queen, a kind, sympathetic that made no mention of a pension. T LORD DEVONSHIRE tKLY HER he heard that Lord Devonshire Was coming to Canada. She was in Canada then herself, She arranged for an audience with him, to speak about her extremity. Surely, Lord Devonshire could help her. She walked into the room where his “ludship” and her “leddyship” sat tn ota He inquired who she might be, and Mra. Wilkins told him, in great confusion “Aren't you an Englishwoman? he curtly asked. “Yes, air,” she sald, with « show of pride, “Then why do you not show re | spect to your superiors?” he scorned her. Her “leddyship” cut tn, indignant ly: “I cannot understand why you fail to pay proper honor to your su periors «ince you have come to Can. agar’ Suddenly the war mother became conscious that, as she entered, she had forgotten to curtay.

WAIT—HERE 18 THE PIER PART Hut now comes the other part of this story, the happler part. Mrs. Wilkins was found by a Se. attle chap named W. R. Fick, a vet- eran of the world war and a mem. ber of Roosevelt post, Veterans of Foreign Warn, of this city. He felt that here was a splendid opportunity for Seattle to do some thing fine, And he felt that Seattle would do it. He took the case of Mra, Wilkins to the officers of his post, There was no red tape, no curtsying, He told them what was up. Somebody said, “Let's go! The post appoint od a committee—W. R. Fick, chair- man; Billy Gaines, Phil Tworoger, Belly Nelson and Capt. John R. Dean —to see what could be done They went to see Mra. Wilkins. They had a plan in mind. They asked her what was her idea of a good, comfortable home—a home she would like to live In the rest of her life. She told them she had always wanted a little cottage somewhere, not too near the city and not too far away, a place where she could raise chickens and market ees. They came then to The Star, “We want,” they said, “some one who will donate us a tract of land, a half-acre, or an acre, somewhere around here; some one who will give us lumber to build a cottage; some one who'll furnish nails, and kitchen utensils, and all that sort of thing. “We're going to build @ home for Mrs. Wilkins and set her up in the chicken business, We're going to look out for her from now on, with a little help from everybody,” Chairman Fick's teleppone number is Elliott 497, As the committee suggests: “Let's go!” letter, f] | | ‘would be worth 100 centa on the dotiar,” ‘The plight of the farmer is desper- ‘The farmer, Barrett charged, has been discriminated againat by those | controlling the country’s finances, ed the name transportation facilities aa corporations, "Music drive belgrore be Seereiets that meanuren | ctared Matt J be taken to end farm tenancy; that) or tne entertain laws enabling farmers to form co operative societies be panned; that the meat packers should be com pelled to yield to government regu |lation, and that the packers and the country be const with the operation and other aggremat gaged in distribution of food, cloth- |ing, fuel and fertilizer,” Along with convention, farmers’ representatives tonight will get together to form a | Protective organization among the | stockholders and "borrowers of the federal land banks, “A wuccessful marriage rhould be | |ate, Barrett continued, and * ite!) eMcaco, The “man | jnolution depends the solution of Im | w5 hath ne bie soul” te} 3 portant problents, |warned to av co the week | , when |for annual convention preventing him from getting credit, | Bp | < - | Everything musical will be pres- and agriculture has not been afford: | wnt trom jazz to grand opera, French sion Probe |harps to pipe « He urged thene con: | rE p Munic in ensential of present day politi conditions, kitchen #ink.” tly acquainted of the packers |the assemblage. of capital en nin Beriberi Disease the farmerv union Uner Fushimi Maru, 20,000 Music Makers Going to Chicago reprenenta- | industry gather | A musical instrument iain the an necessary in the home as the!
