FIRST THINGS

The first quotation Of gold at a pre-
MUM in the United States occurred
ffty-one years ago to-day. BY Oc-
tober of 1861 its currency value had
advanced to 1873 The United States
government had negotiated it's first
war loan early that year, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury stipulating that
payment for the bonds be made in
gold. In consequence, millions in gold
coin were drawn from the banks,
which were compelled to suspend spe-
Gle payment. It has been alleged by
some critics that the suspension OF
specie payment, which cost the tax
payers of the United States untold
millions, might have been avoided had
the banks been permitted to pay other
money than gold for the bonds.

 These farmer women find themselves in a new civilization, but not of it. They have as great a longing for the best that life can offer, as have the wel1-gowned club women of the cit ies. In many cases, from a financial standpoint, they can as well afford the luxurfes of modern life as the ma ority of those who possess them. But as the wives of farmers, they must give themselves to the land.
 Their houses go neglected that they may help with work in the fields. Their sisting their husbands with pressing farmers in this country, while at their work, often resemble in their appear ance ignorant, poverty stricken peas ant women of Europe. Many a far mer's son who has completed the course of the city high school has been helped to do so by the sacrifices of an over worked mother back on the ifarm, who has taken upon herself many of the tasks that, otherwise. would have been his.
