The Sort of Periodicals 1t Pays to Take.

TT PAYS to read. We think $500 More
Year. article last week demonstrated that the
Il right sort of reading pays from financial
standpont,-that the reading of good agricultural
books and papers is of the cheapest, the sures
and the most practical ways of attaining know-
edge along farming lines, and that is quite prac-
ticable to put the knowledge thus gained to use
in ones work and thus make it OF direct financial
benefit.
But reading pays in larger sense than this
To the man who has learned to read, who has de-
veloped a taste for good literature, who reads
thoughtfully and carefully, for instruction and in
spiration well for entertainment, all the
thoughts and dreams and achievements of the wis
est and best of all the ages offered for enjoy
ment and for possession. He may make them his at
his will. The person who has not learned to read
and many who are far from being illterate
have learned what to read or how to read
misses more than he can imagine, loses a wonder
fully large part of the sweetness and beauty that
should belong to life
Southern farmers do not read enough, and too
often what they do read is of such inferior quality
that they might well better have left 1t alone
This is especially true of the periodicals they
read. There many of trashy, frivolous
nature that it is often hard to make selection or
to know just which to subscribe for. For
this reason, We going to give little list of the
very best magazines and papers, the sort that can
not come into home without making it brighter
and better.
OF the purely literary magazines there are four
recognized standards They are: Harper's Maya
zine New York; the Century, New York; Scrb-
ners Magazine, New York and the Atlantic
Monthly, Boston. All are of the highest literary
quality, and the first three are beautifully illus
trated. Scribner's costs SO a year; the others 81
each; and all are worth the money. These maya
zines should go into hundred farm homes in the
South for every one they now visit. Their uplift-
ing influence would be felt in a hundred WAYS
OF the cheaper magazines two, McClure's and
the American, stand first in our regard Roth
have done and are doing, splendid work for the
politlcal regeneration OF our land. The same is
true of Everybody's Magazine All publisbed I,
New York at 81 so year

Is Your Wife Getting Square Deal :?

"vE TRUST that no one of our 100, 900 farm
w er readers overlooked the leading article
on our Home Circle page last week. The
two letters on which Mrs. Stevens commented
actual letters they were too, from women who felt
their need of help so much that they were willing
to lay bare the very secrets of their hearts and
homes-had in them more than hint of tragedy,
we're surface indications of the depths of disap-
pointment and dependency into which many
brave, accomplishing women our farms find
themselves sinking.
The lot of the average woman on the Southern
farm is not an easy one; and often it is harder,
much harder, than is necessary simply because
the men on Southern farms are Indifferent and
neglectful. We do not mean to make any whole
sale charges against the farmers of the South, to
say that they do not care for their wives, any
thing of the sort-that would be foolish. because
they do, just much as any other class Of men
under the SUM- But writing directly to Southern
farmers, speaking from life spent Southern
. farms, we wish to say plainly and without mincing
words, that many Southern farm woman does
unnecessarily hard work, goes without many of the
comforts and satisfactons she might have, misses
much OF the beauty and gladness of living, simply
because her husband is thoughtess and unappre-
catlve or because he has never realized how much
easier and more pleasant he could make her labor
and her life.
Take the second letter in question and let us
look at it a moment. Is there any excuse for any
well-to-do farmer letting his hired hands come
or worse still. coming himself-into the aiming
room which his wife tries to keep clean and at
tractive and mussing up the floor with soied boots
and the tablecloth with dirty sleeves? This farm
er in all probability dreams that he is treat
ing his wife with unkindness; but he is. Has any
man right to have his wife tagged out with hard
labor every day of her lfe--Sundays not excepted
while all the profits from the farm go into ma
chinery to tighten farm labor stock and lands?
we do not think so; believe that the wife is

EPIDEMIC OF DIPHTHFRIA
IS SAID TO BE BREAKING

That there has been a marked de-
crease i'm the number of new cases of
diphtheria i'm Calumet and Laurium
during the past week, is the assertion
made by a well known physician. Al
though there have been numerous
deaths in this vicinity from diphtheria
during the last few weeks, there are
now only fifteen homes under quaran-
tine i'm Laurium. and the disease Is
said to be in n milder form than that
which has ragged here during the en-
tire season. 1t is confidently believed
by physicians That the greatest dan
ger is passed and while a few new
cases will prCbaIbly develop, 1t Is
Thought that the total number will
decrease rapidly.
Carelessness with the quarantine Is
given by one physician who was seen
yesterday as one of the causes which
have contributed To the presence of
the epidemic. The village now has two
watchmen engaged in watching con-
tagious diseases. hut it is impossible
for them to keep close surveillance
over all of the houses under oquaran-
tine and IL is thought That number of
residents have violated the regulations
causing the situation to become more
complicated.
