"And really, when you pause to think about it,
what sublime faith people have in the wisdom of
mother The average care-free, irresponsible girl
has never a thought beyond having good time. She
has no opportunity of studying even thinking of
any of the problems that surround her which she
must solve, and yet expect the wife and mother
suddenly to acquire from God knows where the
wisdom necessary to make her home success! Is
it any wonder that many fall by the wayside?
"In the cities and towns the women's clubs help
to educate the girl wife In the country they STUN
bic alone trying to carry loads too heavy for
them, often unnecessary loads, becoming discouraged
and often breaking down, faded, old before their
time; and every one knows that fretful wife does
not make happy home.
"They suffer, too from the lack of womens society
and sympathy. Women understand women and can
help each other did or
"And so our Women's Institutes to be for the
purpose of bringing the women together so that at
the meetings they may exchange recipes and patterns,
plans and ideas, and may talk over the problems
which puzzle them they may receive sympathy and
encouragement so that they go back home re-
freshed and take up the burden of life more cheer
fully and better qualified to carry it.
PERSONALLY, think the Woman's Institute is des-
tined to be of the greatest educational factors

WOn7en'S Institutes.

A new women's club movement, backed by the
State is about to be started in New York for the
benefit of farmers wives, according to the Sun, of
New York City. The work will be modelled after
the plan of Farmers Institutes, which have been in
existence for the last twenty-five years. but instead
of dealing with crops and stock it will closely
touch the home life It's promoters are confident that
it will be a success and will eventually spread all
over the country
Women's Institutes have been in operation in
Canada for the last eight years and today have
membership of more than 100000 1t is their pur-
pose to help the farmers wife living in a remote
place to make something of herself, to educate her
in domestic science and give her all the advantages
which the club in the city enjoy.
1t has come to the knowledge of the farmers
wife for instance that what her husband has learned
at the Farmers Institute about the balanced ration
for his cows pigs chickens and geese of Importance
to her also; that in order that she and her chill
dren shall be well and happy they should live on
diet which contains the proper elements. So she
will 90 to her Womens Institute and learn all
about it
Moreover, she will learn how to decorate her
home economically, how to keep it in good SAM
tarv condition She will take cooking lessons and
learn how to cook without wasting good material
Tn short she will talk the problems which vex
her soul including the education and training OF her

Compulsory Education Law.

Idaho people to be awakening to the fact
that the compulsory education law our
statute books is not being enforced so strictly as
it should be- and that there is need of vigorous
action in the matter A superintendent of public in
struction of southeastern county has started the
campaign for enforcement of the law by ordering
a list sent to her of all the children of school age
in the county, with the intention of turning this list
over to the probate Judge and having action insti-
tuted against the parents to compel them to send
their children to school, This line of action is to
be commended and everywhere it is followed the
county officials should be given the support of their
constituents.
An encouraging sign in this connection is the
fact that the womens clubs of the State give evil
dence of rapidly growing interest in the matter,
from which it is to be inferred that they will give
it special attention. Should they do it seems
certain that they will receive the support of the
press of the State and with such aid they cannot
fail to better conditions UNNECESSARILY. Several of
the papers have commented on the subject recently
and all agree that the law should be- strictly
forced
"Al of the children of country entitled
to common school education at least, and the
parent who will stand in their way and them
to be reared i'll ignorance should be prosecuted"
says the Camas Prairie Chronicle "In where
the parents too poor to purchase the necessary
school books for their children the school trustees
will see that their needs satisfied so there is
no excuse for children not going to school Other
counties all over the State should be careful in
forcing the compulsory education law now on our
statutes Ignorance breeds crime and our jails are
full enough now Let the children have proper
education meet the life they must face. 1t will
be hard for them at the best without being handi-
canned by lack of common education"

The mother said

Till she's in bed.
"She c1ings on to my hand or gown,
And follows me
About the house, from room to room,
Talks constantly.
"She is bundle full of nerves,
And wistful ways;
She does not sleep full sound at nights,
Scarce any, days.
"She does not like to hear the wind,
The dark she fears;
And piteously she calls for me
To wipe her tears.
"She is a little hindering thing"
The mother said;
"But still she is my wine of life,
My daily bread"
The children-what load of care
Their coming brings;
But, O, the grief when God doth stoop
To give them wings.

Mrs Helen Wells, one of the promoters of the
organization said of it to the New York Sun:
"You know of course, what the Farmers Inst-
tutes are and how the knowledge which has been
brought the farmer in this way has revoluonized
the agricultural world In every State scientific
periments are carried on in agricultural colleges and
at experimental stations.

ried to the farmer through the Institutes Each
State has its own branch and all report to Wash

The time now is that there must be some sort of retrenchment in the ex- pense of conducting the sort of gov ernment most of the States have to endure. Texas is on it's ears because with the increase of population there is an increase in all expenses, raise in taxes and no sort of improvement in the conduct of State affairs. The old theory that things can be done for less per capita expense when done on the wholesale is not working cut in that state. The expenses are in- creasing with the population not in an even ratio, but by leaps and bounds, and there is no improvement in the efficiency of affairs. Many other states are in similar condition. There is no honest reason for this, and the dishonest reason should be circumvented by demand from the people for dollars worth of service for every dollar they pay in taxes

It has taken long time to teach the farmer that somebody had to warehouse everything until there was a consumptive use for it, but he has learned the lesson, and will hereafter do the warehousing himself, and keep the profits that have gone into the pockets of a host of spectators.

 Wherever it has been tried, it has been found that the diversifier has al ways won out. When we say diversi- fer, we mean just that. To quit ex- elusive cotton and go to some other speciality is not diversifcation at all. This is simply quitting the acting of one sort of fool to act some other sort. A diversifier diversifes, and he does not know what failure is. He is a cautious man, and has not the fool hardness to go into some line with all his money and time without knowing about it. He is material for a good Union man, for he is first an EDU- GATOR. EDUCATION is the thing first, and the practical application o1 the learning is wisdom. The diyersi fer is wise.
