Work of Miss liens Bailey, a Univer sity of Missouri Student. r Miss Iena M. Idl!ey. a student in the home econonids department of the - University of Missourl at Columbia, Mo., has invaded a new field. S1he is I a lecturer to farners and particularly to farmners' wires. Under the direction of the state board of agri-ulture she goes over the state to fartmers' institutes. Her ob I Ject is to get the women amid girls of Missouri interested In better home work and the lessening of the drudg ery found in so many country homes. The board sends her out to talk a new side of farm life at the institutes tn the winter months. "I believe the girls should have the same chance as the boys." Miss Bailey says. "The farm boys are given the opportunity to take part in corn grow ing and stock judging contests, and the girls likewise should have something to stimulate their interest in the great work of the home. At Sarcoxie we have started the first of our contests for girls; it is a buttonhole contest." In her talks Miss Bailey discusses foods, clothing, homes and home fur nishings. She attempts to organize homemakers' clubs at all these Insti tute meetings. Miss Bailey has several dates for farmers' institutes to fill yet this spring. A NEW CANAL ON MARS. Positive Proof That Planet Is Inhabit. ed, Claims Professor Lowell. A new canal on Mars a thousand miles long has been discovered by Professor Percival Lowell of the Flag staff observatory, AriEona. This Is evidence, according to the astronomer, that the planet is Inhabited. The an nouncement of the discovery was 130150EO PKNBCIYAL LOWILL. made the other day to Professor S. W. Burnham of the Yerkes observatory. Professor Lowell spent a few hours in Chicago recently on his way west. Not only did he see the new canal, but he photographed it. Previous pho tographs of this region made as late as last May failed to show any trace of the canal. The fact that it devel oped between May and September, when it was first observed, Professor Lowell regarded as positive proof that it was artifIcial and therefore that liv ing beings exist on Mars. The new canal ctends southeast from the region of vegetation, known as Byrtla Major, through the great plain of Libya. FARMER'S HINTS ON LIVING.
