LIE cHLckEN or The EGG2

Much Of the discussion Of the cost Of
living suggests the old question Which
comes first. the chicken or the egg?
There has been a suspicion thar there
was more OF less relation between the
cost of farm produce and the price Of the
land upon which these crops were raised.
and while some have insisted. with con
siderable show Of reason. that land was
high because of the high price IF farm
produce. a local student Of the question
has Just announced that the high cost
Of living is largely due 10 the high price
of land
There are certain reasons why this
latter view Of the chicken and the eSS
problem is NOT sound Iuasmuch - the
price Of farm produce must inevitably

Unropealed law of supply and demand. it

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

Good house1eepers are not good
homemakers," said prominent club
woman in a lecture recently.
THE housekeeper's eternal war
against dirt" she went on, makes her
slave and makes martyrs of her fam
lily. She has an idea that when she dies
St. Peter will ask her how many pairs
of socks she has mended or how many
buttons she has sewed on. She does
not know that it is better to be cheer
full and sympathetic, the comforting
, homemaker. than to have kept the
house in such immaculate order"
I think that that is a very good re-
minder of this time of year.
For this is the time when the eternal
war against dirt is apt to be waged
most hotly and the martyrdom of the
rest of the family to be corresponding
ly severe
Now a perfectly immaculate house is
a beautiful and desirable thing to be
sure. Do not think 1 am denying that.
But when any other beautiful and de-
sirabIe thing, gown, a trip, a piece Gf
jewelry-costs too much, you would
think yourself weak if you did not have
the strength of mind to turn your back
on it, wouldn't you?
Then. when a perfectly immaculate
house costs SO much mental and physi-
cal strength that you cannot be your
self for weeks, is it any less weakness
not to be able to deny yourself that
luxury?
