Work to Help the Farmers.

The commission has tried to help the
farmers to see clearly their own prob
lem and TO see it as a whole to distin-
guish clearly between what the govern
ment can do and what the farmers must
do for themselves. and IL wishes to bring
not only the farmers. but the nation as
a whole. TO realize that the growing OF
crops. though an essential part Is only
a part of country life Crop growing is
the ssential foundation. but It is no
less sential that the farmer shall get
an q equate return for what he grows;
and is no less essential-indeed II IS
literally vital-that he and his wife and
his children shall lead the right kind
OF life.
For this reason. It Is of the first Inn
portance that the United States depart

A wave of yellow hair went flying by; there was a thud somewhere beneath, sudden, death-like silence every where; then voices crying shrilly.
 Wanda fell forward. An hour later. with numbed senses, she revived.
 "Who-was-it?" she moaned. "A workman?"
 They tried to quiet her. Then some one, far away, it seemed, said:
 Was it only dummy clown?'
 "A clown!' cried Wanda, the Lily. Oh"

FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW

Il young woman, who had tired OF fac
tory work and its uncertainty. took her
self in hand one day and decided TO turn
20 some more permanent employment.
She had been reading advertisements for
some time and vas struck with the aP-
parent lack OF capable needlewomen-tto
Deedlework, therefore. she decided 10 turn
her attention.
She knew precious little about the art
OF nee6lework. but she also knew that
! there were ways OF learning Il. At The
time she decided upon a new line OF work
she was laid OF at the factory for an in
definite period. and the time seemed ripe
for change She had an inspiration
there must be dressmakers who wanted
1eipeFs-hUmbie ones. Of course. but she
could and would work up 70 better posi-
I tons L was the busy season for dress
makers and she found no difficulty in
securing employment with a fashionable
moois1e in the humble capacity Of doing
errands, pulling hastings. and such small
things
When she expressed q desire 10 learn
70 sew she was taught to basts. and this
she did so well that she was next allowed
70 cut collars, cuffs, and trimmings by
patterns. she did everything well and
her meager little wages Of s. g week were
advanced a trihe. IN six months the girl
had learned enough to warrant a con
siderable Increase In wages, but she
never received more than s. a week. al
though she remained & year and was
given work which was only intrusted 10
careful hands.
When she left that establishment she
went TO an exchange patronized by women
of wealth and made application for work
as a seamstresS. Her first position was
in family few miles outside the city
limits. az a beautiful country home. where
she spent six days Of each week for three
months Her employer was q society
woman, with a clever French maid. and
maid and seamstress kept her wardrobe
in order and made and repaired clothes
for one child
Rehtting and copying imported frocks
was a fine training for an ambitious
seanstress. and remodeling clothing added
more TO her capability. The end Of the
three months engagement found her
with a substantial engagement book
pretty well filed with names, and eecur-
Ing room in a centrally located dis
tTict with family IN which she could
be comfortable and quite after her hard
days work, the seanstress started on
the road 10 independence. She had her
breakfast with the family and her lunch
con where she worked. Her dinner was
taken az a restaurant, where she was
sure TO meet pleasant company.
She charged $50 a day and car fares.
and an occasional disengaged day was
spent on her own clothing. She spent the
two hoe months Of sunemr with rela-
tives II the country. and so kept her
health All the amusement she allowed
herself while working was on Saturday
evenings, when a day Of leisure permit
ted extra sleep. She has a bank account
wnich IS slowly growing, and steady en-
ployment very much to her liking. She
mas more Of home than the average
working girl can find. and she considers
herself a fortunate young person par
ticularly when she Is substantially re-
memoered by some Of her appreciative
patrons.

ONE OYSTER ENOUGH.

his first visit to London dropped into
small oyster shop where number
Of men were eating raw oysters. The
extreme satisfaction displayed on the
faces Of those about him created long

arrival, who edged his way up TO the

BY this time the poor cOuntryman
was shaking with fear and horror. He
commenced to have terrible pains in
his abdomen and was soon doubled up
in his agony. He begged some one to
go for a doctor to get the thing out.
He continued to grow worse, when
some one suggested that he take a
dose of tabasco sauce, which it was

were running down his face, when

his mouth, and he was forced to drink
copious drafts.
The effect was magical. The oyster
was evidently dead" He became
more composed. and when he finally
