There will be . larger acreage Of
wheat sown in Barton county this fall

The man who is always ready to do
something for Ellinwood, is a friend to

The family Is the social unit. The
aggregation of these units makes the
nation; but the happiness. the moral.
ity of the nation can never be superior
60 that OF the average family. AS In
the construction OF building, each
part must be sound TO insure the
soundness OF the whole, so In the
social fabric, the iirmness of the whole
depends upon the sterling qualities Of
the individual families that compose
10. Wherefore the missionary effort
most needed In a corrupt age Is not
that of a preacher who will rail nc the
people &C large for their sins, but that
of some transformations workers who
will patiently endeavor TO purify and
uplift individuals In their homes. and
leaven society In the only way in
which IL can be leavened-through
the family.
For this reason the modern agitation
known as "woman's rights" can not
be viewed with any feelings save Of
dread and distrust by honest, consci-
entious men and women. In spite of
the disclaimers Of those who uphold
the movement TO the contrary, we can
not but see the deadly inroads which
IL is making upon the unity and per-
petuity Of the family, and we cannot,
IL we have any love for our county and
our race, sanction such very ill-ad-
vised moyement--to call IL by no
harder name. We know that the up
holders Of the movement fiercely deny
that their purpose is TO disrupt the
home, or that any such consequence is
likely 10 follow from the triumph of
their ideas. but we need not concern
ourselves with probabilities and proph-
estes when we see all about us the
ruin which such ideas are causing
Not only in the individual cases OF
family unhappiness which nearly every
one Of us could point out, whose mis-
cries were directly traceable 10 the
pernicious influence over the wife of

lessening percentage Of marriage, In
the increased number of families who
board instead of keeping house, and
