FARM LIFE
BY MRS. JACK ROBINSON
(In The Fruit Grower)

am greatly interested in the dis
cussion concerning the farmers wife
that we are getting in this depart
ment. 1t seems to me that women
everywhere are rying to do too much.
The farmers wife wants to do all
that the city wife does, and yet not
neglect her own work--which, too
ofetn, means that all thee details
must be attended to just as her
mother and grandmother attended to
them 1t is impossible for women
of today to work as their mothers
did. That may be because the
mothers over-worked, but the fact
remains, we cant do it and keep
brazened, disobedient to parents, un-
we'll. We must slight something,
somewhere, renounce this or that, or
break down with the strain. Let
us recognize that fact and act ac-
cordingly. We can manufacture only
a limited amount of vitality daily;
very we'll; we will decide what con-
stitutes the best living, the highest
good, not only for ourselves but for
those, for whom we are in measure
responsible, then we will resign, once
for all, those things for which we
must pay so dearly.
What is that every city woman has
of which we are deprived? Is it
really essential to our happiness? Is
it for the best good of our family?
Let us discuss the question from
every side. | believe that, if the
farmers wife could know the city
side of the question as we'll as she
knows the country side, she would
decide in favor of the country nine
times out of ten. 1t is because she
does not know that she flies to the
city as the place where all her cares
and worries will slip from her
shoulders.
Thoughtful parents everywhere are
almost united in the declaration that
the country is by far the best be-
cause the healthiest and safest place
to raise children. This is especially
true of boys. Our smartest men
were born and raised in the country.
What If our boys do leave the farm?
We may be raising a president, who
has got to go where he can work out
his own destiny. Have we any as
surance that our children will stay
with us if brought up in town?
The farmers wife who goes to
the city to live is in danger of being
a very lonely woman, although her
lot is exceedingly joyous compared
with that of her husband They will
long for the quiet independence of
the old farm many and many time.
They will long for the chickens and
the flowers and the vegetable garden
and the fruit, for the little everyday
interests that even the very old can
enjoy. They will find that there are
few interests for the very old people
in cities. There seems to be nothing
for them to do; but on a farm they
can watch the young things growing
even though they may no longer be
able to care for them.
don't believe it is wise for old
people to follow their children to
the city. I've seen it tried so many
times, and I've always pitied the old
people. They look so lonely. I
know several middle aged people
living in cities who are planning to
go on to little farms of their own
Just as soon as their children have
finished school. They want place
where they can have a living when
they are old, and they know they
will be literally crowded to the wall
in city.

Grand Work on
tuberculosis Fund.

The campaign fund to be waged
against tuberculosis is daily increasing
and up to Sunday morning the amount
received was 1926 and about so mem-
bers of the various teams are yet to
report. Manager c.. b. Kelleher has
as usual contributed to the good cause.
He has given 1000 reserved tickets to
be used at any time. This means a
contribution of 500.
The following letter was sent to the
journal office Sunday by H. l.. Emery
The cry of distress touches the heart
of most of us especially if that cry
comes from some one in our vicinity
and one whom we can help The cries
for help from persons near us, who
are in the grip of tuberculosis and
have not the means to help themselves,
are coming faster lately than at any
time since our work started Here are
some of the appeals which came on
Friday and Saturday: young man
from Guilford who will. probably die
unless he can have sanatarium treat
ment could pay a small amount but
not half the cost. we had to say no.
we can't take you. YOU are not in this
district. another from Portland who
could pay perhaps, the cost but we had
to say no you do not live in this dis
trict. Another from Augusta, a young
man with wife and two children. who
probably could be saved with sana-
tarium treatment it being only
matter of money. He hasn't got the
money, but he lives outside this dis
trict. / suppose We'll have to let him
die like hundreds of others until the
State takes hold of this matter i'm a.
real way, and spends money as freely
to save human lives as it now does to
save wild animals. domestic animals
or fish We may decide some day that
men and women are as valuable as
beasts.
Then came a call from woman who
mas been dtspenssry patient for some
months but has steadily failed She must
have santarium treatment to be saved
Her husband earns s14s per day. They
have six children; but she thought they
could pay 81 week for her care She
got the last bed in the woman's ward.
Then came young mana NC. r. r.
empioyee-a second stage case He would
give every cent of his insurance IL we
would take him 1t probably means SAN
atarium of death. We gave him the last
bed in the mems camp. Then came a
call for help for a girl II years old The
father earns day wages and has eight
children. Think of it, Ten persons to
feed and dress with less than 81 day.
Could he pay for sanatarium treatment?
should say not. But we have reached
our present limits at the camp, so we had
to say no for the present. win you give
us money enough to buy more beds and
pay the added expense?. There are many
such cases. We need $4,000 instead of the
$4,000 asked for. Shall we give it. or shall
we let them die and before dying infect
many others?

fore the Fourth is extremely noisy and
is a time when great many people use
explosives of different kinds.
There are two strong objections to this
night celebration which do not apply TO
like demonstrations in the daytime. In
the first place. there are many elderly
people and sick people in this city to
whom the denial of at least a partial
nights rest is a cruel hardship. in the
next place, there Is much graver danger
from fire in the night celebration than in
the day celebration.
| do not think that 1t is necessary or
proper to attempt to turn the Fourth Of
July into an imitation of a Puritan sun
day or to deprive people who enjoy that
sort of thing from using fireworks maxi
generally enjoying themselves The So
called sane Fourth can be carried to
a. foolish an extreme as can the other
sort of a Fourth There is a reasonable
mean between the two extremes.
should like you to use your influence
and authority toward the bringing about
of a condition under which the celebra-
ton of the Fourth in this city would not
begin before o'clock A. NJ and would
not continue into the night of the Fourth
so far as to annoy the quieter inhabitants
of the city or endanger property.
Yours very truly.
