FARMERS WIVES.

Do you know why farmers
wives are the happiest, most con-
tented, youngest looking women
in the community Well, here is
the solution. The farmers wife
shares her husbands business in
every respect. She knows how
much he gets from his hogs;
whether he is going to put the
northeast field into wheat or corn,
whether he is going to let the
south ten acres go to pasture this
season, when he gets good price
for his grain, and how many crates
of fruit they can spare to sell.
Every root and branch of the
farmers business is known and
"hared by, his wife She has
her own individual money. She|
keeps what breed of chickens sheI
most admires. She sells her eggs,
makes her butter, and buys her
own things with her own money
or salts it down in the family
treasury as her inclinations tend.
The farmers wife is the farmer
partner in business as we'll as
affairs. Therefore. she
is contented; she is busy, every
moment of her day counts and is
spent where it is most needed.
Therefore. she is happy. She
drives to town with her husband
and sells her butter or cream or
eggs as he sells his wheat or fruit
Or hogs. She is independent,
therefore she cares nothing about
Independence, and she remains
young She is doing her share
toward that comfortable retired
life that farmer, and only a
farmer, reaches at about go years
Of age. A farmer and his wife
travel together, see the country
and places they have read about
and visit their married children
You never hear of a
farmer going off and visiting his
folks, while his wife goes in anoth-
sr direction and visits hers.

When our new system of q
Sane" Fourth of July is put into
practice all over the country, and
our political system is put on the
primary and referendum basis,
there will be no fun left either for
men or bows The boys get excit-
ed and shoot their fingers and feet
and hands off. and their eyes out,
and they think they are having
fun. The men quit work for a
mouth. and chase up and down
the country working for some guy
who has neither the ability nor the
honesty to administer the duties of
The Office, and then get dead sore
after election because he was de-
feated. Or, if he is elected, they
celebrate for a week and then put
in two years growing at their
candidate because he refused to do
what they want, and, after they
get done with that stunt, they
spend the rest of the year working
against him. That is what the
men think is fun. just as the boys
think it fun TO be soaring people to
death and keeping them awake
nights with their noise. The boys
have more sense than the men in
this manner. But. if we are to
have sane Fourths, and sane pri-
inaries. the fun for man and boy
has gone from us, and all the
troubles we have had will come no
more. The police will regulate
the boys, and the politicians will
do the work for the voters, and all
we Shall have to do is to keep
quiet on the Fourth, and vote as
the politician tells us in Novem-
Der.

PEARY'S EIGHTH ATTEMPT

Commander Peary, now setting
out again in search of the North
Pole, is ffty-tw years old. This
is his eighth venture; he began
making Arctic expeditions al
thirty. One voyage, begun in
1898. resulted in his absence from
civilization four years. On each
of three other voyages he was gone
the greater part of two years. One
of the three was the former voyage
of the Roosevelt, ended in 1906.
He has failed. of course, in reach
ing the goal of northern explorers,
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1908-07-30

the pole, but he has made some
big strides in that direction. His
best record was made on his last
expedition, when he reached a
latitude of 81 degrees and 6
minutes. which is the world S
record in polar dashes. and is only
TIA nautical miles from the pole.
The motto of the present expedi-
tion is to be NINETY OF nothing. "

| I'll tell you. my friends, all the
heroes do not stand out on the hill
side in the glare of the sun. while
the cannons thunder round them
and the banners wave in the
breezes, and win their victories.
Many a wonderful victory Is won
far away from the busy mart and in
the solitude of an humble cottage.
There is a woman in this town
who has won such a fight. Sew
eral years ago she was left alone
with family of little tots on her
hands. She toiled from early
morn until late at night over the
wash tub and sewing machine.
She earned money to clothe her
children, and send them to school
where they are receiving an educa-
ton. She has never complained,
and almost every hour there is a
song on her lips as she works
away. She is also teaching them
the ways of truthfulness, honesty
and industry. She wears no jewel
ed medal for bravery, nor is her
name garlanded with poetry and
song. But she will get her Jewel
and her songs some day.
The way the wind cut up last
week south of town remindes us of

when big gale was blowing. No
body was in sight except the cap
tain. go below there!" the cap
tain shouted, The passenger look !
ed around TO see to whom he was
talking. ''You mean me?" he
yelled back, when he saw there
was no one else in sight. "Of
course I, do; go below" and the
captain came alongside. well, l |
guess not. protested the Kansan;
Pm up here to see how one of |
your mountain-high waves and
terrible gales compare with what
we have in Kansas in the way of
cyclones. This Amt a patch to
what I've seen out our way A
big wave broke over the deck,
sweeping the Kansan aft. They
picked him up with a broken leg, |
a twisted shoulder, a sprained
wrist, and his face looking as if it
had been dragged backward
through briar patch. When he
came to he saw the captain. "By
golly, cap he said, feebly, ''that
reminded ME of home, only it was
