THE WOMAN FARMER

MAUDE RODFORD WARREN
discussing the methods and prospects
of the new woman in the pursuit OF
agricultural science, has this to say
Plenty OF women fail in farming be-
cause they have taken it tip either too
hastily or with too little capital, or
because they have already worn them
selves out at some other vocation nd
have not the strength Tor the hard
work OF the farm"
The work OF the farm is hard And
perhaps the hardest Of it falls 10 the
lot OF the uncomp!ainine woman who
drudges in the kitchen, looks after the
poultry. cleans the house, mends the
clothing, coddles the children and, in
>me localities, does the milking.
If, in addition to all this, the "wo-
man farmer" should find time and in
cliration to plow two acres a day and
weed the cornield after she has pick
ed the beans and strawberries she
can manage to retain scintilIa OF
centleness, she is a marvel of woman
hood,
The wife OF a pioneer farmer is a
female martyr. Yet she has given the
world some Of its noblest, sturdiest
sons. She is not aware OF the dull
monotony OF her life. All the universe
is centered in the farm. And she is its
brilliant sun. Her task, however, as
farmers wife is a sufficiently large
one. and it is no wonder If she often
fails when she cndeavors to fill a
mans part as we'll as her own and be
"a woman farmer. ."-Ex.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

WHAT is the future policy OF the
NEWARK POST? The people want
to know, how and where you stand.
What is the real object OF your paper?
The above questions have been ask
ed us several times. Last week a
prominent citizen told us that he was
of the impression that our columns
were under the censorship Of powers
higher up"
As we have said time and again,
THE POST is not the official organ
of any party, nor is it the hired ex-
pression OF amy institution.
Regarding policy, we must admit
that there is no definite plan, further
than that which we started out to do
to give Newark and the vicinity a
medium for the expression OF public
opinion. We have and shall continue
to express our opinion in our own
crude way. We ask you to accept it
as one mans opinion. We do not
You may not like all we say--we don t
ourselves But don't think that any
man or institution holds any whip
over MS We would much prefer you
TO use these columns than to use them
ourselves. We appreciate any bit OF
news that is given us. Last Saturday
Mr.. J. Wilkins Cooch, President OF
the Sewer Commission, came i'll and
gave lis an account OF the inspection
of the sewer system OF Merchantville
This is the spirit we want to foster.
Whatever honor and glory there may
be IN this work. we consider this the
rgreatest, to have paper that has the
confidence Of the citizens who feel
free to use its columns for the ad-
vancement OF the pubic good And
just IN the proportion that paper
has the expression and the support OF
such people. in just that proportion,
does it stand for that which is best.
Only in this sense is it worth while.
So if this paper can be dignifed
with any line OF policy, it is this: We
stand for Newark. We love her me-
mories and honor her traditions And
we believe in her possibilities.
Eliminate some of the ultra con-
servatism that is prevalent, tear down
some of the clannish barriers that ex-
ist-join in hearty cooperation and
our children will have a greater and
better Newark to claim as their home.
Toward the development of these
possibilities we are ready to do our
part-small it may be, but we are 60
ing to do that part with what power
ih..Yjthin us lies.

The new mission parlor car, which

railroad to run between Los Angeles

San Bernardino. made its first trip
Sunday with great success, according
to officials of the passenger depart
ment of the road. The car, loaded with
tourists, left Los Angeles at 1880, run
ming via Fullerton and the new cut
off to Riverside, where enough time
was allowed the passengers to see the
points of interest of that city. The
run was then made to Redlands where
trip over Smiley Heights was taken,
the car returning to Los Angeles in
the evening via Pasadena. The num-
ber of tourists who took the trip is
a good indication of how many new
comers are pouring into Los Angeles,

WOMEN TO HELP
HOMELESS WAITS
Los Angeles Orphans Home So
Ciety Starts Campaign to
Raise $4,000

Women of the Los Angeles Orphans
Home society will begin work in earn
est this week on the campaign to raise
the additional $4,000 needed to COM
plete the new home now being built
in Wiltshire and to build and equip
hospital adjoining.
With The Heralds children's fund
subscription of $500, the committee feels
that 1t has a fair start
People who love little children and
are anxious to do their share toward
providing home for the waits who
are rendered homeless by the death of
parents or relatives, are asked to help.
Those who would not see children
suffer for the lack Of proper medical
treatment in times of Illness could
spend a few dollars in no better way
than by subscribing to the fund to
build hospital for the new home.
The finance committee of the home,
which will plan the campaign to raise
the needed sum, will meet in a few
days to canvass the situation and name
subscription committees.
MRS. A. c. Balch, head of the finance
committee, will return to the city to-
day and will take up the work at once.
she is assisted by Mrs. p. A. Bryant
and Mrs. w. G.. Kerckhoff
OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING
The women who have given their
time and labor in behalf of the home
feel that they will meet with gen.
erous response from the public in their
request for the sum needed.
A marvellous record of accomplish
ment for homeless little boys and girls
who are unable to help themselves has
already been made by the charitable
women Of the city, who have raised
the $4,000 and now have the building
of one of the finest orphanages in the
west under construction. This money
was raised in less than two years.
Meanwhile. the work at the old home.
Yale and Alpine streets, was not al
lowed to lag and children from mere
infancy up to the age of IA have been
taken care OF by the home. Many
permanent homes have been found for
bright boys and girls who have been
charges of the orphanage. But with
the construction of the new home.
which is to be completed by July next,
the women do not regard their work
as complete.
The money they have raised is for
the new building alone. The sum of
$4,000 is needed to furnish the home:
$4,000 is needed to make a playground
and garden, and what is more impor-
tant still, $4,000 is needed to build and
equip a hospital.
The subscription is opened with The
Herald's Childrens fund. $500.
Subscriptions will be received by The
Herald and credited to the fund.-

MOVING PICTURES SWEAR
Is CHARGE OF DEAF MUTES
Claim Lips of Film Characters
Plainly Form CuSS Words

CLEVELAND. Dec. 12.-Deaf mutes
are complaining against the use of
profane and indecent expressions by
players in moving picture films, and
will ask for a rigid censorship by the
manufacturers.
Mrs. Elmer Il. Bates, for many years
a teacher of the deaf and dumb. and
an expert in the art of lip reading, de-
clares these shows are the chief source
of amusement for the deaf, and they
are prevented from enjoying them be-
cause they are able to understand
what is being said by the characters
on the screens.
Mrs. Bates made tour of the down
town shows yesterday, accompanied by
a reporter who wrote down the picture
talk, and at times the language was
so vile that she had to stop.
Mayor Baehr admits the question Is
too deep for him, but thinks it is
matter to be adjusted by the Humane
society.

however says 1t should be taken UP

destroyed and the question witch is
at issue is whether the destruction of
this will makes void the first will.
