Mans World Transformed.


the most part, only mans world.
Woman's world has hardly been
changed at all. The city woman
has a carpet sweeper. but she has a
larger house to sweep. She has a
sas-stove and, perhaps furnace -
each an improvement upon a fire.

She has water from a faucet instead
Of in q well. And that is about all.
II she does her own work, as most
women do, she has no more leisure
than her grandmother had. II she
doesn't do her own work. she must
wrestle with the servant problem"
and the woman who does her work
for her will have no more leisure
than her grandmother had In
other words. housework, in city or
country. is almost il not quite a.
hard today as ever it was.
There is no more reason why a
woman should have to sweep and
dust than there is why she should
have to cook over a fireplace,
Sweeping and busting are signs of
a time that should be past. Such
methods of cleaning were all right
when better methods were unknown
but they are all wrong now that
better methods are known. Vacuum
cleaning is a better method. A
vacuum-cleaner gets all the dust
and makes none so there is nc
busting. And electricity does most
of the work. The little work that
a woman does is not burdensome
The air she breathes while cleaning
is clean. No dust settles in hel
hair. When her task is finished
she is not in need of bath. AND
if she has been running the cleaner
for an hour the cost of the electric
ity consumed is less than threc
cents. Moreover. the room is clear

Every woman knows, of course tina

Every woman would like to have
one. but they think they cannot

The Poultry Farm.

Keep the dust box supplied with
nice clean dust, and see that the
GRIT box is never empty.
Keeping many breeds is a poor
way to succeed. Get down to one
or two varieties and give them the
best of care.
If the hens we're compelled to
work a little harder these days for
what grain they get, it would be a
good thing for them.
AS the new corn gets dry and
hard it is safe to feed more than
when it was soft and green. 1t is
more easily digested and gives bet
ter results.
Never feed meat scraps that were
made of rotten meat. Good, pure
feed is the only thing that ever
ought to be fed to a fowl of any
kind.
During winter the drinking ves-
sells must be emptied each evening;
it is much easier to do that than il
is to break a solid cake of ice in
them the next morning.
If it possibly can be done, clean
up the droppines each day. 1t is
work that we'll repays one Never
allow this cleaning to be delayed
longer than a week
Leaving the birds to fight their
own battles against lice and other
enemies may save some work, but
it will cost some eggs; and eggs are
worth money these days.
Do not delay any longer the job
of cullins out the poor stock. It is
a mistake to keep even a single un-
profitable fowl. Have the stock up
in quality rather than in quantity.
! If the hens are fed hot corn for
supper, they will 90 to bed happy
these cold winter nights Feed it
just as hot as they can eat it COM
fortably. Shell some in a baking
pan and stir and heat it in the oven
! As the weather grows colder, in
crease the supply of corn. 1t is q
heating food. But never feed it
alone. A good grain mixture for.
winter is two parts whole corn, one
part each wheat and oats; all well
mixed.
Start up the trap nests. They are:

ductive hens as well as the droneS-

get better and more uniform stand.
You could hardly sow the vetch be-
tween the corn rows at laying-by time,
and certainly the only vetch to use for
this purpose would be the English or
spring vetch, and this would not in
our judgment be hardy enough to with
stand the winter freezes. Vetch being
a leguminous crop should be fertilized
we'll with phosphorus and potacn. Use
not lesn than 500 to 400 pounds or a
1914 or 1915 mixture at the time of
seeding the crop. You could hardly
pillow hairy vetch under until about
tic goth of April to the 1st of May.
in the fall and early part of the winter
and could be turned under much ear
lier. 1t IS not so hardy as the hairy
vetch. however, and a severe freeze
may kill it. For this reason we advise
the use of some seed of both varieties.
The vetch is a legume and will inn
out of the air and in your section of
the state it could be turned under suf-
ficiently early to enable you to grow
good crop of corn.
Carbon bisulphide may be used for
the purpose of destroying weevils in

the flour made therefrom OF course,
the wheat should be exposed to the air
for several days and an opportunity
given for the carbon bisulphide to thor
oughly evaporate before an attempt is
made to grind the wheat.

CRISIS IN INSURGENTS
AND REGULARS BATTLE
Former Have Filed Demands
Through LaFoIIette- Under
Consideration
CBy Associated Press. }


WASHINGTON, April 25.-The crisis In
the fight between regular and insurgent
senators for places on the standing COM
mittees is expected to be reached late to-
day Through Senator LaFollette the in
surgents have filed their demands and the
committee on committees has taken them
under consideration.
The insurgent list has not been made
public. but IT is known that although
Senator LaFollette was conceded by the
regulars a place on the finance commit
tee. the insurgents insisted that Senator
Cummins also should be named: and that
the regulars were willing to give Senator
LaFollette a place on appropriations, but
that he demanded instead a place on the
interstate commerce, of which Senator
Clapp is to be chairman and Senator
Cummins a member; that Senator Bourne
has been given the Craftsmanship of the
postoffice committee and Senator Bristow
a place on the same committee, but Sen
ator Bourne demanded to go on appropri-
ations also. These places and the vacan-
eies on the foreign relations, judiciary
and privileges and elections are making
most of the trouble.
REPUBLICANS PLAN.
The regular Republican plan to take
their places on the finance committee,
Senator Penrose to-be is promoted to
chairman, while the new members are to
DE Hepburn, Clark. of Wyoming. who is
to retire from foreign relations. and Gal
linger Senator Warren will be chairman
of appropriations, and Smoot made a
member. Senator Cummins is given for
eign relations by the regulars slate, but
he wants judiciary instead.

 K0T TUG-OF-WAR
Roberts of Tucson lntimateS a Willingness to Take
 Part


 Roberts. Of Tucson, who formerly figured prominently in the wrestling game in southern Arizona, is in Bis bee, having employment here in the mines. He left the game, he says, because there was no money in it, but if there is anyone hereabouts who is itching for a go, he might sccomm odate them.
 He said that he would take Al Ket- chel on, but that he was unwilling to come down to AIS weight, as he did not think it worth while from a finan- cial standpoint. He said further that if he wrestled he would have it stipu- lated in the contract that one Of the wrestlers must go to the mat at the end of thirty minutes, and that if the under man succeeded in getting up, the other must go to the mat in fif- teen minutes.
 Al Ketchel will arrive in the city in a day or so to spend a short while here, and 1t is possible that a match may be arranged between Roberts and KetcheI as well as between Illus sen and KetcheL
 Both Hussen and Young appear to be in good condition for their match at the Orpheum tonight, which will be wrested according to the rules of Cornish wrestling, for a side bet of $50. Hussen is the challenger.

FOOTBALL SEASON
 BEGINS IN THE WEST
Where Intercollegiate Games Were Played
 Yesterday

CHICAGO, H.. Sept. SO.-Today marks the real opening of the football season in the middle west, though several of the college teams made their debut week ago, while others will not begin their schedules until next week The outlook for a sue cessfuI season is regarded as prom ising. Minnesota is reported to have fully as good a team as last year, when the Gophers disputed with Michigan the championship of the west. Illinois, which also claimed the championship, is back with as strong if not a stronger team than last season. and Illinois and Indiana likewise have put formidable eleyens in the field At Michigan the coaches are reported to be well satisfied with the outlook. Iowa rejoices in the return of practically all of the vet erans of last year, and Purdue IS hopeful of making a much better showing than in 1910. Wisconsin again is an unknown quantity, as are Chicago and Northwestern
 The strong teams, however, are not confined to the "big eight or to Michigan. Notre Dame and Marquette win be well up in the running and Nebraska is considered on par with some of the "big eight eieyens. Lake Forest, Beloit, Knox, and Wa hash. not to mention Michigan agrl cultural college, which beat some ol the best last year, are expected to De found near the front when the sea son closes.
