woman II never happier tha1i
nan she is independent. Contentment
4. a beautiful trait of character 10
c,,t,vate. and a woman is happier IN
nronortion as she is content. livery
one has an individual talent Tor soIne-
thing and every ambitious woman mas
a aneoial object In life she hopes 70
accomplish. BY her efforts OF manu-
and hrain she leaves an impress upon
the world, in the work she does ana
pays a debt to her Creator.
Every woman should start SAY
tnes bank account for this reason'
When she comes from the Market
after having bought few necessities
there is only little left. ana THIS
thought comes to her mind: Tnese
few pennies amount to SO little tnas
will never accumulate anything,
hut rs the little sums Jingle IN
the small iron bank, her ambition
for more pennies and dimes Is aroused
and thereby a system OF saving -
esta blished.
An individual bank account is
stinulous to every man, woman ana
child.
Children have favorite schemes
which they hope t. accomplish.
Oftentimes with boys 1t Is the pony,
and with the little girls the doll WIN
golden curls. While the sons are OUT
on the farms making wages, or rails
ine colt or calf for spending
money, the daughter just developing
into womanhood ought to have the
privilege Of making money. Many
times the farm life grows monotonous
to the young lady and yearnlng &C.
sire seizes her to go into town 10
earn her livelihood.
Girls on the farm who make the
effort and are given the opportunity
can have as much spending money
as the girl who goes to town to work
at the stenographer's table or behind
a ribbon counter.
What nobler calling can the young
girl graduate follow than teaching the
children Of her neighborhood? AT
the present market value Of produce
there is no reason why every neigh
borhood cannot have q teacher sup
ported by the earnings Of the women
of the community. And who is better
fitted to teach these children than
farmers daughter who has graduated
from the town high school?
The country woman is coming more
and more into prominence. The De-
partment OF Agriculture is issuing
helpful bulletins for her benefit. at
the cost Of the asking, on Butter
making. Bread-making. Wholesome
Foods. Home Canning Of Fruits and
Vegetables. etc.
The cooking Of nutritious foods for
our tired husbands, sons and helpful
daughters is an accomplishment equal
in value to the knowledge Of the hne
arts. Nourishing diet fed to our boys
and girls helps to mould character for
greater things.
The making Of beautiful preserves,
jellies. palatable jams, and pungent
help to add to the spending money
account. Possibly our town and city
friends would buy from US rather than
the foreign Gamers.
The kitchen apron made Of white
homespun" Is badge Of honor to the
poorest country woman. to the woman
OF the city, who rules in the highest
educational meetings or leads in the
most fashionable circles. ..
The person who dislikes the sign Of
toll is weak morally and intellectually.
The humblest calling affords room for
expansion.
Every Woman should try to excel
III something. Be authority on some
subject. try to reach the topmost
round Of the ladder. Livery woman
has favorite recipe. and when hus-
band or children, possibly guest. COM
pliment the dish. = tender chord is
touched.
In this day Of improved roads and
netted telephone systems. we can add
weekly to our bank account. It is just
as necessary to know how to sell our
produce as 1t is to make it. The
most essential feature Is special Gus
