conKressman Says Harvesters There
 Never Get in Q Hurry.
 Congressman and Mrs. Hitchcock, accompanied by Miss Ruth Hitchcock and Miss Crounse, returned recently from a short trip to Europe, the Oma' ha World Herald says.
 Referring to the trip. MT. Hitchcock said: We were in Germany during the early harvest season and the work of whole families in the fields present ed scenes of prosperity and content ment. The work would be hard II done in a hurry and rush. as we Amer leans do 1t, but it does not appear to ce so in German harvest fields. Old young and middle-aged of both sexes work away rather leisurely. They stop to rest and talk or take refresh ments often, and as rule appear to he having a good time. 1 understand that Germany has 1S.OOO.OOO people upon the land as the expression goes That Is a large proportion of her 6o,- OO0 ,O00 people.
 "The best part of Germany factory life IS that competition still remains. It has not been wiped out by the trusts, as in America. The factories are scattered all over the German em- pire. Every town of any size has It's smoking factory chimneys. In fifteen years the wealth of Germany has in- creased 59 per cent. The only unfavor- able symptom Is the increase in living expenses. The increase Is much great GIT in Germany than in England or France, but is less than in the United States
 "I visited the city of Rheims In France during the great international l flying machine contests and saw three aying, machines in the-air at the-same time travelling at railroad train speed under perfect control I saw both the monoplane and the biplane in flight and had a chance to see the advan taees of each type. The double plane has the greatest carrying capacity, oul the single plane looks more like bird is simpler and more graceful.
 "We timed our visit to Munich SC as to attend the great Wagner festi val which Is one of the musical treat; that Europe offers each year. It Is strange sight to see people wearing their evening full-dress clothes at 3:3( in the afternoon and start for the op era. That custom, however. has 1t advantages.

A WomnnIy Woman.

A WomanIy Woman.
 She stayed at home.
 You don't hear of her.
 She was too busy to talk.
 She was too well bred to brag. She didn't say she disliked hotels. She murmured not when Mrs. Rich drove of.
 She didn't declare resort life too vapid.
 She was making school dresses for wear later.
 She was taking her children for day excursions into the open places.
 She has explained all she can of the flowers, trees and insect life.
 She studies some good nature books along with the children before their excursions.
 She has superintended her children's games and their gardening efforts. 1T addition to her own work.
 And she's the salt of the earth, this woman who is above aping those with more money. and who rejoice. in. a fine mind and body, which. sh' puts to the best possible use.-Phil adelphia Record.
