She dismounted quickly, led the horse across the concrete sidewalk to a store, paid a bill, remounted her steed and rode away. The incident was not unusual in these days when women are participating- in numerous affairs their mothers and grandmoth¬ ers never thought of or dreamed. But The Traveler was impressed by the thought created: How much further will women go in adopting costumes so far removed from fashions estab¬ lished for their sex and in emulating other habits so long looked ujwn as man's?

Considerable talk and other pub¬ licity has been given to ^vhat is term¬ ed "scalping" in commutation tickets of the Long Island Railroad. Reports are that an extensive and profitable business ha.s been carried on in thi.s line by business men in villages along the south side for year, some of the "profiteers" making nearly .$10 a day. The tickets, in some villages, arc said to have been wo^Jied "overtime" on Saturdays and .Siihdays \vith barbers for shaves, hair cuts, shines and other needs. Many women are acredited with having taken advantage of the "scalping" proposition to make cily trips at r.artes much lower than those charged by the railroad. Officially, the railroad, has not denied know¬ ledge of the situation. Since March 1 some ticket agents report a falling off in the purchase of the reduced rate transportation pasteboards. Ap¬ parently the "scalpers" have decided to lay low for a while.

Protecting New York's Farms.
No part of the state's war work has received more careful attention at the hands of the state administra¬ tion than that of encouraging agri¬ culture, stimulating production, im¬ proving distribution and conserving generally the interests of the agricul¬ tural portion of the population.
The selective draft, the rapidly mounting demand for labor in muni¬ tion planta and in factories of all kinds and the call for men to the cities in various occupations connect¬ ed witli the prosecution of the war threaterted to draw labor from the farms to a dangeroiis extent
How to meet this situation and pro¬ tect the farmers from this draft up¬ on their forces has been a serious problem.
Much has been done already, and more is being done just as rapidly as satisfactory plans can be worked out. Some of the aocomphahments to date are:
1. <k>vemor Whitnyan haa had all exemption boards notified to adhere to tbe policy of puttinir trained farm¬ ers in the last class to be called.
2. The State Food Commission, werkin^ with the Industrial Commis¬ sion is devoting special efforts to se¬ cure farm labor snd sn organization is st work in every industrisl centre •pd in many villsipes to divert labor which would ge to fsotories to the farmeirs.

The Duty of Republicans.
"The countrj' needs today as it never needed before, a united, mili¬ tant Republican party. E\'ory man who ever voted the Republican ticket and almost every disinterested indi¬ vidual, knows thai this is true, and what this country needs it is the duty of every man to give, reganlles.s of personal inlluence, anger, piqiic, greed, resentment or ambition.
"The solution of the whole niait>.i- and the consequent great Republican victory, is really largely a question of patriotism.
"The duty of everyone is clear. I do not care how a man voted in 1912, '14 or '!(>, nor his reasons ifor so doing. We are all one today, for we have work to do for the good of the country, and it takes us all to do it I insist that all engaged in this work are entitled to Uie same con¬ sideration—the man who has not al¬ ways voted with us and the man who always has voted with us, because he may not have had any reason for doing otherwise. I recognize no fac¬ tions. I have never known what that word meant.
"On the question of the war, there is fcittt one side. On that side, sup¬ porting the country's cause, shall stand every political party and every memiber of every political party en¬ titled to any consideration whatso¬ ever. The loyalty of the Republican party always has been, and aJway« will be, measured only by the possi¬ bilities. Personally, I believe that the mission of America is about to be accomplished."—IVt// H.
