Mothers are the queerest things:
Member when John went away,
All but mother cried and cried
When they said goodbye that day.
She just talked and seemed to be
Not the slightest bit upset
Was the only one who smiled
Others eyes We're streaming wet!
But when John come back again
On furlough, safe and sound
With a medal for his deeds,
And without single wound,
While the rest of us huira he'd,
Laughed and ioked and danced about
Mother kissed him, then she cried
Cried and cried like all git out

EXTENDS A HELPING HAND TO
 WOMEN

Once upon a time, writes Isabel { Gordon Curtis, in an article in Sue | cess magazine. l sepnt an interesting ! hour with Secretary Wilson. He told me the story of what Uncle Sam is
 doing for the women of America.
 | Thousands of people think" he | began, that the agricultural de- partment helps nobody but the | farmer. Of course while helping the | farmer incidentally we help the far
 mers wife and daughter-only We do | more than tha:. Hundreds of men and women in our department work
 year in and year out to solve prob lens which face the woman who lives ! in the country. We teach her how
 to make the best possible use of tho food she raises. how to market it. preserve and cook 1t in ways that are new to country people. We show her how to plan a house that is as Sani- 1 tary, convenient. easily heated and comfortable as the average city home Generally it is a much less expensive and more beautifully located home than d dweler in the city can achieve. Our experts simplify kitchen toll as they ease the farmers field labor. They teach how to exterminate house pests, lay out a pleasant flower or Vegetable garden and attractive grounds. They suggest shrubs and
 vines which will thrive in different
 Inmates and tell how to care for them. When the farmers wife is brought face to face with any difficulty all she has to do is to write to us. We help her if it is in our power, not orly with bulletins prepared by the first experts in the country but also
 by personal letters. The men and
 women in charge of each bureau give a lifetime of stud.- to one science.
 'I have a profound belief in help
 ing the country woman as far as
 possible. because it tells in Americas
 future in this way: The girl who
 sees her mother drudge out her life
 in hard unremitting toll longs for a
 very different future Of course. her .eyes are turned upon the city. and
 when the first chance comes she
 leaves home. She will tell you she
 has no intention of becoming the slav"
 her mother has been. We combat this
 feeling by every measure in our DOW
 CT. The best way to do it is by
 making a country home SD pleasant. convenient, comfortable and attractive
