HAD TO GET STRENGTH FIRST.
Hard Worked Woman Not Ready to
Face Hired Girl Problem.

A Massachusetts, man, whose bust
ness frequently takes him over the
line into Vermont, says that one even
ing he was guest at a farm house in
that state when he observed that the
wife of the owner-a poor, wan little
woman-was doing every bit of the
work around the house.
As he himself put it, she did an
amount of work that would have put
an ordinary Massachusetts, horse to
shame and he really felt like a vii
lain sitting there watching her.
Feeling considerable compassion for
the woman, who looked as if ready to
drop from overwork, the visitor
asked:
Why don't you get help here?
Surely you are not going to try to pull
through the long winter without a
hired girl"

MAKES FOR DRESS ECONOMY
Little Touches That Alter Appearance
of the Bodice.

At the present moment we have am.
pie opportunities of altering the ap-
pearance of our bodices and making
one play tie part of many, says a
writer in the Montreal Herald. Some
of these take the form of fichus made
OF folds of thin or thick material,
which are thrown over the shoulders
and fasten at the waistband. Then
there is a new form of bolero which is
attached to waistband that forms an
accentuated point on the front from
which a couple of straps is attached
to the bolero, that opens wide in front
and falls over the point of the shout
der Both the band and the bolero
are generally covered with embroid-
cry, and the many gold embroidered
bodices which come from the east can
be adapted to them. Then there is the
pinafore effect which completely
changes the whole aspect of the dress
If attached to the skirt, and with a
good pattern costs mere song. Many
OF the present winter dresses are
made of rough fabrics tntermixed with
black, and with these a lain colored
pinafore would have an excellent eff

There is a certain little southern
girl who is very fond Of her negro
nanny The nurses name is Sally,
and she is large woman. so she is
known as Big Sally. Ethel. however,
calls her "Biggie" for short. One day
her mother took her to a museum,
where. among other things, there were
some stuffed animals. Ethel was
greatly interested. and for many days
she did not tire Of talking about them
Perhaps a week later, at the supper

that the japanese government became
most intensely interested IN forestry.
The mountains were still government
land, so that all that was necessary to
protect them was to place proper re-
strictions on the sale and cutting OF
timber. This was effected by declaring
the forests on the steep slopes as re-
served forests, in which the only cut
ting should be done under government
restrictions. The forests on agricultu-
classed as available forests. and here
the cutting is not so carefully re-
stricted.
Consequently Japan has effectually
prevented the stripping OF her noun
tain slopes before any great damage
has been done. In come districts,
where the mountains are near the
towns, the steep slopes have already
been cleared. and this has resulted in
foods and the washing down OF the
soil from the slopes onto the farm
lands. But these cases are said to have
been exceptional. and have merely
served as a warning. which Japan has
needed before it was too late TO prevent
destruction.
We believe the United States is max
ing progress in the right direction and
that the wholesale destruction of the
forests remaining will be
stopped and that tree planting win
eventually repair much of the damage
dome Japan has set a good example
n this matter which all the civilized
nations of the world can safely follow.

OF THE FARMER.

Salt Lake will be one of the points
visited by the presidents commission
on country life. which is about to
start on tour of the country for the
purpose of gathering data regarding
conditions which prevail in the rural
districts. in order that they may intel
| ligently begin the study of the subject
and formulate practical suggestions in
conformity with the wish of Mr.. Roose-
welt The commission will be headed
by Prof. L. H. Bailey of Cornell uni
versity
In each of the cities where they stop
the commissioners expect to confer
with representative citizens interested
i'll improving conditions among farm
ers; they will invite conferences among
farmers themselves with officials of ag-
ricultural colleges, with representative
citizens in all walks of life who are IA
miliar with country life and every op-
portunity will be seized upon to gather
data that will be of practical value in
the solution of the problem laid before
the commission by the president.
The commission will spend but one
day in Salt Lake. The meeting will not
be characterized by long, set speeches,
the commission coming out to listen
and learn, and not to instruct or ad-
wise.
In a letter discussing the coming trip.
Prof. Bailey said:
This commission is not appointed to
investigate the farm or to INQUIRE into
technical agricultural processes. It's
function is to give attention to the
larger economic. social and sanitary
questions of the open country To this
end, the commission would like to hear
the opinions of representative farmers.

ers who live in the open country, or
have direct relations with it. So far as
possible we should like to meet accred-
tied delegates from oranges, farmers

well as farmers and others who come
on their own responsibility"
The date of the visit to Salt Lake is
not definitely known, but will probably
be some time during the present month.

ditions on the farm can be improved.
the conferences will no doubt prove of
great practical value.
