something of sensation in washing

women as private secretaries to heads

Faith McAllister, in Des Moines
News: Statistics in years gone by
have shown that more farmers wives
go insane than any other class of peo-
pie. Thanks to modern inventions in
the way of farm machinery, however
wife must get up before daylight each
morning and put in day of never
ceasing toll. The picture of the poor
farmers wife toiling over a red hot
kitchen stove to cook for thirty or
more harvest hands, is fortunately
fading away. Life on a farm is now
getting to be more akin to life in the
suburbs. Yet the fact remains that
there is enough hard work on the
farm so that the farmers wife well
comes a little diversion and relaxa-
ton. She wants to nave thorough
day of rest and pleasure when she
goes to town" In view of this need
the women in.several Iowa towns have
furnished rest rooms for country wom-
CT while in town. Mrs. A. Janney
aad Mrs. T. J. Fletcher of MARSHALL
town were instrumental in getting 4
room in the court house there fittel
up as rest room and place of recrea-
lion for farmers wives. The club wo-
men of Oskaloosa have also adopted
this plan and the idea bids fair to
spread over the country ere long. 1t
is o1ly fitting that Iowa, which is the
greatest agricultural state in the I'M
ion, should start move of this sort.

defeat of Mr.. Lacey ten times over,
