should the vie Earn Money!

H l D. y
There seems to be a great difference
OF opinion as to whether a married
woman should or should not con-
tribute as wage-earner, to the family
revenues.
One woman who claims that the
wife who goes out from home to earn
"a living, or a part of 1t, Isl NOBLE
self-sacriacing creature who deserves
the highest concentration, Another
saws. that in a majority Of cases, the
woman who earns q salary herself
does MOI receive much money from her
husbands other than what is required
for house rent and other Fixed ex-
penses, even being expected to pro-
vide her own clothes and sometimes
the greater part of what she eats
from her own earnings. And still an
other woman says. that IL the wife
can contribute enough for the support
Of the family, that she is sometimes
expected to do 1t while the husband
remains idle and. helps spend the
money. This generally results in
plenty Of trouble.
One thing / have noticed, is, that a
woman who does not know how to
patch an apron, will not have 10 do II;
il she cannot sew, a seamstress will be
provided, and II she cannot cook, a
ltltcher maid will be employed. By
some manner or means the helpless
are always provided for. but the ques-
ton is, do women as a rule. like to be
considered by their husbands as in
eapable or unwilling.
Ny advice Is, do not marry Il you
expect to support your husband, and
do not marry Il you feel that you can
not contribute your full share in any
way that ii may be necessary for the
welfare and happiness of the home, II
circumstances demand, and sou are
able to earn a little money to help
along. II is certainly adylsablrand ed
mirable to do so, provided health and
strength are not jeopardized IN the
effort.

WOULD NOT AGREE
TO CONSOLIDATION
No. 8 Hose Co. Voted Down PROPOSE.
ton to Form Union With Hose
Co. No. 2.

The proposition to consolidate four
Of the hose companies into two has
been knocked in the head for the
present, at least so far as two of them
are concerned. At a special meeting
of Hose Co. No. 8 last night the propo-
sition to join in with 40. 2 under the
new name of Tuscarora Hose 20 was
voted down after some discussion the
vote standing 10 to 8. This unexpec..
ed action was afterwards reported to
the boys of No. 2 who had been wait.
ing at their hall for the result.
Chief ]. P. Talhelm of the fire de-
partnent was present at the meeting
and urged the No. 8 boys to unite
with No. 2. saying that the Overture
for the union of the two COMPANIES
had first came from No. q, much
stronger company, numerically, and
that the two together would make a
company of fire fighters that the town
could be proud Of He said that No.
2 had offered to allow No. to name
the president at the approaching cleo
ton ands that the other offices would
be equally divided, except that No. Q
reserved the right to name the cap
tain. He gave number of other good
practical reasons why No. should
join in now when the opportunity was
offered and made strong argument,
but it was of 70 use.
The principal speech in opposition
was made by Strayer Poisal,s one OF
the veteran firemen of Martinsburg,
and his appeal carried the day.
No. will now go ahead with their
company affairs as though nothing
had ever been said about consolida-
ton, feeling that they are we'll able
to take care of themselves
1t is regretted by many people, in
and out of firemen's circles, that the
matter of union ended as it did. What
effect the action last night will have
on the proposed union of Nos. 4 and 5
remains to be seen, but it is to be
hoped that they won't be influenced
by what some consider a bad example.
