~ ISAAC l.. TOTEM.

Every farmer in Wayne county has
at some time noticed how hard his
neighbours wife has to work, and he
has mentioned this fact quite fire.
quently to his own wife. It's shame
for that farm neighbor to let his wife
work so hard, isn't it? You couldn't
think of letting your wife work that
way, could you?
You should appoint yourself com
mittee OF one to wait upon that far
mer, and automatically call his at
tention to this fact, of which he Is ap-
parently unmindful. He, no doubt,
has become SO accustomed to having
his wife make slave of herself that
his conscience in that direction is be-
yond the pricking stage. He calmly
accepts all that she does as matter
of course; but he Is ever mindful OF
his own work, and is constantly think
ing of how he can make it less ardu.
Gus.
When you visit his farm he takes
you out to the barn and shows you
how conveniently he has everything
arranged-he can feed all his STOCK
without taking a useless step; ne
shows you the new riding plow that
saves many tiresome steps; he shows
you the two row corn pillow that en-
ables him to do two mems work with
out firing himself as much as 1t did
when he used to run the old one-ro"
walking corn pillow. And he tells you
how these modern implements hell
him to solve the hired help problem
But he doesn't take you to the house
and show you how conveniently ne
has arranged the house for his wife
so that she will not have to take use
less steps Nor does he show you
many modern laborsaving devices
about the kitchen or elsewhere
whereby his wife can do her work
easier and also cope with the hlrec
girl problem which is much more dlf
ficult of solution than the hired mar
problem ever was.
That neighbor is self-centered an
imal, isn't he? But some men arc
that way. They should let their wive!

that your wife's work is just as ligh
as possible, so that she will not be

Less Work For The Farm Women
Of Wayne County is Advocated

At Colorado Springs, from October
Is to October 20. there was he Id an
international Congress OF Farm Wo-
men," 1t was the first of its kind ever
held, and it's subjects were: to con-
slider the betterment of home conol-
tons on the farm; to have an ex-
change of views on the life OF farm
women from different parts OF the
world; to consider phases OF foreign
farm life that may help to tighten the
labor of other farm women, and TO
consider every phase of women's
work on the farm. from going to
church to milking the cows. Much
good. no doubt, will result from this
congress, because, as a general rule,
where people convent for the purpose
of an interchanging of ideas on I'M
proving conditions, they accomplish
something worth while. Many OF the
remedies, as suggested at the women
congress, for lettering home condl-
tions on the farm, and for Tightening
the farm women's work, will be dished
out to us. We will read and acqulesce,
as usual, and then forget all about 1t.
Are we right?
Let US take2it upon ourselves to do
a little more thinking and acting along
the lines of lessening the good VIE
work. We should not wait for sug-
gestions from others but should let
our own thoughts dwell upon this i'm
portant subject.
1t is surprising how much easier
every farmer can make his WIFE
work when he once determines to DO
so; and it is also surprising now
much real good it does him as well as

her work, and tries to make it less

helps that we can think OF, II we try

would help some? Wouldn't it be bet
