THE PRICE OF AN EYE.
Will BOttling Works Have to Pay
1t Because a Bottle Exploded?

In the case of E. NJ Dali vs. Lee
). Taylor, trading as Crown BOttling
works, from Pamlico county, argued
in the Supreme Court during the past
week. an unusually interesting ques
ton is involved The plaintiff bought
a bottle Of coca cola which exploded
IN his hands, eXtinguishing one eye
In the trial below the case was non
suited under the Hinsdale act, but
the eye of the plaintiff had not been
restored, SO he risked the one remain
ing on the Supreme Court
1t is not known how extensive may
De the knowledge of this high tri-
punal upon popular drink which has
not undergone the scrutiny Of the
courts as have near beer and it's re-
latlOnS Whether the bottle was de-
fectlve or the gas pressure too great
or the plaintiff was in too great
hurry Tor the refreshment and met the
accident half way are questions that
nave not been answered. 1t was sug-
gested that ii the danger was in the
coca cola it was well that it blew the
bottle to fragments before entering
the plalntlr'S viscera, as the damage
IN that event might have been even
greater.
Mr.. Dahl wants damages and was
ably represented before the court,
ID. l.. Ward, II. l.. Gibbs and Thomas
w. Davis having appeared for the
plaintiff and Simmons, Ward and AL
len for the defendant. The bottling
works cOntended that the explosion
could not be attributed to any defect
in the bottling, but was the result Of
unknown causes.
Other bottles of coca cola have
been known to explode, doing more
or less injury.

No Politics.
(The Co-Operator. }


The order issued by the executive
Union relative to the state lecturer and
his assistant lecturers refraning from
the discussion of partisan politics, or
in any way, directly or Indirectly,
mixing up partyism with the affairs
of the union, either in public or priv
ate conversat tiOns, or by circulating
partisan literature, is wise and neces-
sary for the welfare of the organiza-
ton. The constitution of the union
positively prohibits any discussion or
partaking Of any part in any partisan
politics or having anything to do with
any party political whatever. This
prohibition does not apply to any one
or two parties, but it includes all
parties. 1t means that you shall not,
as a Democrat. Republican, Socialist
or ProhibitiOnist, or any other political
organization, try to gain advantage for
your party faith by discussions either
within or without the union, and espe-
cially is this binding upon those who
have been entrusted with the good OF
the organization in official positions
There can be no excuse for any such
action on the part of an official, and
it is to be hoped that none have done
so or ever will do 50 in the future.
The union has troubles enough of
other sorts without having internal
strife over this or that political faith:
so, as was said before, this warning
of the executive committee is timely
wise and prudent.

North Carolina Asked to Have Il Dis
play in Berlin.

The State of North Carolina has
been requested by Secretary Charles
Nagel, Of the Department Of Com
merce and Labor, to have an exhibit
at the American Exposition to be held
in Berlin, Germany, from May to July,
1910. Mr.. Nagel says: THE condi-
tions governing the exposition have
been examined by the Bureau Of
Manufacturers and appear to offer a
great opportunity to American enter

Some of the States have passed
stallion laws containing some excel

Minnesota has a law framed along
the lines of the Wisconsin measure.
Pennsylvania and Utah have adopt

is FARM WIFE'S LOT HARD?
Compared With That Of Working WO-
man in the City 1t Is Easier,
BY CLINTON NJ SHI-JTZ


hard? Is she a greater drudge than
the city housewife? Is her health
broken by toll more quickly than that
of the woman Of the city?
1t is a prevalent belief that as COM
pared with a city housewife the farm
ers wife has a harder lot in life.
We do not believe it. 1t is true that
a farmers wife, particularly in her
early days of married life. works hard.
but so must the wife of city me-
chanic. The farmers wife works To
secure home and a competence for
herself and her family and in order
that she may spend her declining years
in comfort and peace. while the life of
a mechanics wife from her wedding
day to her death is, as a rule. a never
ending bitter struggle TO make the in
adequate income of her husband meet
the demands of the family.
Very few mechanics working for day
wages ever secure a compel ~ to
care for them in their old age. il is
hard work down to the bitter end. and
the city housewife is confined to the
narrOwest social limitations and COM
forts OF every day life.
The farmers wife must rise early
and cook three meals a day for her
hungry husband and boys. but she has
an abundance for her table growing
at her kitchen door and is rarely
obliged to economic in food. The
mechanics wife must rise even earlier
in order to prepare her husbands
breakfast in time for him to make a
journey of four or five miles or even
greater distances in time to be at his
place when work begins, and often she
is obliged to practice the most rigid
economy in Order to provide food for
her table.
The farmers wife lives in a clean
atmosphere, in a riot of sunshine and
sweet air, while the mec hanic's Wife,
en- during her whole life, is confined
to three or four small rooms to which
| she must climb up long flights OF
stairs, and is only able to snatch an
! occasional breath of air or feel the
suns warmth for an hour in a crowded
city park.
Modern cOnVenienCes can now be
found in thousands of farm homes all
| over the land. Equipped with bath
| tubs, hot and cold water acetyIene
gas, telephones and every modern aid
to good living, the farmers home is
far more comfortable, on the average.
than the home Of the city mechanic.
Life in a city nat is depressing and
has a narrowing influence upon the
lives of women. The telephone and
the trolley have banished the isolation
under which formerly farmers wives
suffered and have brought them into
as close rela ton with their relatives
friends and neighbors as that enjoyed
by the wife Of the city worker
City life has many attractions for
women and possesses many advantages
to people who have the coney to pay
for them. But taking the life of the
wife Of the aver age farmer and the
wife Of the average city mechanic.
there is breadth and hopefulness and
sweetness and comfort for the farm
woman which can never be attained by
