As for ironing, that was conspicuous by its be- ing almost omitted from her duties, sheets and pillow-cases, towels, under clothing, stockings, all being smoothed while yet damp from the line, and folded and hung upon the bars to dry, while only tableclothes, napkins-and seldom were there any of these, paper napkins being used ordinarily - handkerchiefs, and house dresses and aprons knew what hat-iron was
 As for sweeping and dusting, my friend laughingly stated that when the dust was loo thick she drew the curtains, but the fact was that she did endeavor to keep the house really spick-and-span, yet when for reasons 1t seemed wise to defer the sweeping or the dusting, she most unblushlngly did so. merely remark ing that as she 'journeyed along she lived by the way" while the real cleanli- ness of the house was so apparent that bit of superficial dustiness was by no means detrimental to her real reputation as housekeeper or to the comfort and health of the family.

[ the very simplicity of the edibles which we offer will appeal to them, while if they, like ourselves, are plain liyers, there will still be variety for them be- cause of the fact that no two people ever cook alike
 That this may not appear to be merely talk" l venture to offer a bit of my personal experience anent the subject. In my carly years as housekeeper, two sisters, school teachers, and, oddly, a mother and her daughter, finding them selves at one and the same time unex- pectedly able to take vacations, wrote asking if their long deferred visits would be desirable? If so, would l let them know at once, and, in each case, they would come the following day. De lighted at the prospect of seeing my friends and knowing that l might not have a similar opportunity for years, tclegraphed, Come at once Then l Sd: down to consider.
 My husband was away on a business trip, and during his absence I had de- cidei to move, the new house having been vacated sooner than we had antici- pated, and our goods at that very mo- ment were being unloaded
 Visitors "Roughing It"
 To put the house in order was, of course, out of the question, so 1 am claiming no commendation for not at tempting the impossible. Rather, l am stating the fact of my giving those four people the wholly true impression that 1 wanted to see them more than 1 wanted them to see an orderly house, and that l believed they cared more to visit ne than house And was justi- fed in my estimation of their friendship, for never a more delightful vacation was spent than that, and the five of us still refer to that fortnight when, in the heart of great city, we "camped out Oh. yes, we did We. set up beds sufficient for our needs, and did almost no cooking, but had plenty of milk and ber ries and other fruits and cereals, and a scmi-occasional visit to restaurant for a heartier dinner And then after they had gone home, when was rested from the labor of moving because of that lovely vacation which / had had, 1 did my Settling"
 As for Special days, weddings and the like, 1t is safe rule not to attempt elaborate functions unless one has good health and fairly deep purse; in other words, one should "cut her garment ac- cording to her cloth" Yet even so, un- foreseen contingencies are constantly arising, whether the entertainment or festivity be upon large or small scale,

TOW that the holidays are over
 IN housekeepers all over the land 4 are beginning to recoup from
 the extra demands upon time and strength and purse, in many in stances drafting out a schedule which they propose to follow that their work may be simplifed This is, of course, as 1t should be, for all housekeepers of ex- perience can but admit that without definite ideas regarding any course of action something IS sure to be omitted
 Conceding all this, however, is it not true that we housewives and mothers are often guilty of foolishly holding to our plans when they would be more honored ir the breach than in the observance? Occasions are constantly arising which should cause us to utterly ignore the carefully prepared schedule, and adopt in it's place plan fitted to the occasion.
 That there IS value in having a pro- gran1me for each days work no one will more readily agree than does the writer of this article; but the plea is for an adaptable, adjustable one
 First of all, let us consider the every day conditions. Perhaps there is noth- ing that women look upon as a criterion of their work more than their washing and ironing. Each housewife is, as to methods, law unto herself; but almost all who are not dependent upon outside help are agreed that Monday is the day - the work at the tub, while Tuesday must inevitably be spent in ironing the clothes which are piled white and dry in the basket.
Arizona republican., 1910-01-13

The ironing, as before suggested, may be almost eliminated, only articles of outer apparel and tablecloths and nap kins receiving more than hand-smooth- ing The washing should be done at different times, only the large pieces be- ing washed on one day, while the col ored clothes should be attended to alone. If possible, however, lswould advise sending the large and heavy pieces to laundry. which will, l admit. take 1t out of the clothes" Nevertheless, what is thus taken out of them, will not be taken out of the housewife who sends the clothes-and the body is more than raiment.
 And-if by any possibility l could do it-I would simplify the summer work by eating in the open whenever and wherever I could. If did not possess yard wherein to spread my table, 1 should spread it upon the porch, and there I'd make believe camp out One doesn't expect all the luxuries of the refined home when camping in the woods; wooden plates are wholly allow able, and my "make-believe" would allow me the same freedom and subsequent and consequent immunity from dishpan servitude.
 Anniversaries
 This article would not be complete were I not to refer to the observance of Christmas and birthday anniversaries of children other than the one whose birth has made all birthdays sacred and worthy to be observed The Christ child's birthday should be above all else a day of gladness and goodwill, and this can never be the case where one goes beyond her strength or ability in enter taining or in the matter of gifts. Let us then exercise common-sense both in our preparation for and in selecting the articles themselves, beginning our work long enough beforehand to enable Is to finish 1t before the last moment-or if the unforeseen occur, let us cheerfully drop the cherished, unfinished work, rather than to wear ourselves out trying to complete it If our friends are worthy of our love they would infinitely prefer to have us keep sweet in temper and well of body than to receive articles which have been made at the cost of our equanimity or health, while if the cause of our work being unfinished lies in our own habit of procrastination. we ourselves deserve to feel the sting of self-disappointment instead of grieving our families by unnecessary illness or fretfulness.

Supervisors Pleased With Prospects
For Normal Crop.

That Marshall county is going u
have a normal crop of corn at its coun-
~ farm is indicated by a count made
of many rows in the 1870 acres the
county has planted to corn. The corn
shows a good stand. and is we'll adj
vanced All of the seed used in plant
ing was raised within the county, some
of it on the farm. and most of the rest
in the immediate neighborhood.
Superintendent Koontz has taken the
trouble to make an actual count of
several rows. He made his count by
the hundred hills, and of the different
groups by hundreds he found no group
with less than 240 stalks Of corn. Some
of the hundred hills run as high as
270 stalks, which is practically a per-
feet stand Eighty FIVE acres of the
county's fields have been piowed over
for the first time, and unless something
arises to spoil the crop Marshall
county gives promise of producing a
yield Of corn up to the average year.
The board Of supervisors, the mem
bers Of which were shown over the
fields by the superintendent a few
days ago, expressed much satisfaction
over the prospects.
