A wife Of this kind has no time TO go

Oh, we'll, things have evened up
now; Roosevelt gave his views about
England's misru1e, and now George
Bernard Shaw has broken loose and
''sassed' back, so there's no need to
overhaul the warships.
In an account of a fire, published
in an exchange, the following dis

Some of these Senators are grow

found bill when plaster was removed.
Now, if plying government will

women in the wide world who
should be interested in the proposed
establishment of rights for women
on the same basis as those for men,
the farmers wives have been most
conspicuously silent.
All the poets laureate. dead, liv-
ing, or forgotten have, with one con-
sent, passed by on the other side,
when it came to singing homilies of
the farmers wife.
We have had gallons of ink and
tons Of paper consumed in answer
ing the query: "Why do our sons and
daughters leave the FARM" We have
had farmers conventions which have
given the smallest member Of that
branch of husbandry chance to air
his views on everything, from hog
raising to elections by the people.
But the farmers wife belongs to
the class of Bre'r Rabbit, "She amt
say nuttin'."
And the beauty of it is-fully
ninety-nine and three-fourths per
cent. of the farmers wives don't
want Suffrage are not interested
in the ballOt-bOX and probably think
it resembles a churn; few of them
have any radical views on the gov
eminent of the country, and usually
"hope the best man wins" in cleo
tons
But to the farmers wife is left the
answer Of why do our young peo-
pie leave the farms?"
The sage who wrote:
MANS work from sun to sun
But woman's work is never done"
must have had the farmers wife in
mind when he wrote it.
Life in the country should be the
happiest, but on the average farm it
is one of drudgery to the women folk.
And the farmer, the head of the
house, is responsible for the dissatis-
faction of his children and the worn
out woman, who breaks down
when she should be at the zenith Of
her womanly perfectness.
In no other calling is a man so
absolutely dependent upon the min
istratiOns of woman as in farm life,
and in no other can a woman be SO
successfully, persistently and con-
tinuously bullied by the menfOlk as
in that same farm life.
The difference in the man and wo-
trasted as on a farm, isolated and
perhaps difficult of access.
The natural, Unborn disposition Of
woman to minister to the creature
wants of those about her, grows into
habit SO strong as to make it nature.
Where a woman is blessed with a
husband of the same calibre as her
self, there is happiness, and these
are not the people who are wanting
to know ''Why our children leave the
farm"
How many of us have met the
farmer whose ideas of progression
are laid only along the lines of farm
ing implements and machinery; pa
tent churns and washing machines
may also be added to the list of ne
cessities after the other machinery
has been bought.
AS for laying aside a certain sum
for the wife's summer and winter
clothes, books, little trips to nearby
cities and townsville suggestion
would give these Hardscrabbles con-
vulsions of the pOcketbOok.
And very often these are the men
whose prosperity is the proud boast
Of themselves and their neighbors.
When the brOad-minded women Of
a community WILL in their efforts to
better humanity, take stock Of the

army or pat1ent, tO1l1ng, uncOmpla1n-
ing women whose lives are as drab as
a Quaker's coat.
And it may develops that the hus-
bands of these women are conspicu-
Gus at all the meetings, conventions
and gatherings, while the affairs of
the farm are looked after by the wo-
men, who must enjoy, secondhand,
the glOries and triumphs of the meet
ing.
Charity isn't giving aims; it's the
giving of new interests, incentives to
live and develop and if ever class
of people on Gods earth need it, it is
the wives of the average farmer,
North and South.
Here is a field lying fallow for
workers; all the women's clubs in
creation, called to discuss the
Wilderness of the Where, or subjects
equally as remote, will never accom-
plish one-tenth the good for humani-
ty at large that one honest, earnest
body of women could accomplish for
the farmers wife.
Can't you see the underlying TRACE
dy when farmers wife, speaking of
the long winter evenings, often spent
alone with the children, said: ''NO,
I'm not as lonesome now as [ used to
be before we got the telephone and
the monograph"
Oh, you women of the cities! I'M
agine depending for YOUR amuse-
ment on the telephone and the talk
ing machine.
So let's have a little Of the square
deal now, for the farmers wife.

looked after closer and supplied more
promptly, there will be less query as
to why the young folks leave the
farm.
A happy woman is a healthy one;
where there is a happy, healthy wo-
man, there will be a happy home.
Where there is a happy home, each
member will willingly share the bur
den of the whole.
We have prated much of the dig
nifty development and success of the
farmers calling.
Let's get busy now and see what
can be done to make the farmers
wife and children happy, too.
And let's remember that her needs
are not bound by patented churn
nor a new recipe for making soap
with less boiling. She deserves as
much consideration from the solvers
of big problems as the farmer does,
who has been taught to make three
blades of grass grow where one and
a half grew before.
A conference of Farmers Wives
looks rather good-why not have
one?
A widow who died in New York
recently, left pet dog and ordered
that, when the dog died, it should
be buried in the same grave with her
husband. We consider that a tough
joke on the dog.

SAVANNAH BAPTIST HIGH
SCHOOL CHANGES NAME
To Forest City and Adds New Depart
ment Of Instruction.

On Monday, Oct. 81, the Savannah
Baptist high school in Savannah, Ga,
opened night school In connection
with the regular day courses of in
struction. The night school section will
be in charge Of competent instructors.
and students will receive the same
careful attention in this department as
those attending the day classes.
The school has changed It's name to
Forest City high school, but it still
located on the same site, at East Broad
and Anderson streets. The growth of
the school is in every way satisfactory,
and the faculty is much pleased to
be able TO open the night classes for
the benefit of those who cannot con-
veniently attend at any other time.
In connection with the evening
classes there will be a course for those
who desire TO and who are doing mis-
sionary and settlement work in Savan-
nah and elsewhere The course of
study will embrace briefly the life of
Christ and of St Paul and other works
bearing on sympathetic instruction
with view to community work in the
rural districts.
There is large field for this kind
OF wor in the state, and we are
pleased to know that the high school
is taking the lead in bringing about
better conditions by preparing and
sending out persons of trained minds
as leaders and teachers Of truth reli-
gion and morality.
