Of our country. of which we have been
hearing so much Of late. For instance.
she has forgotten the large number OF
women who help their one servant In the
household work. OF who do all their house
hold work. These women predominate In
this country.
Indeed, they predominant so largely that
the other type is, 1t seems, scarcely worth
discussion. There are many such women
as she describes In New York. Yes, and
In two or three other large cities OF this
country. But the large cities do not rep
resent America. They misrepresent it.
The true representation is found in the
small cities, In the village and In the coun'
try, where Mrs. Woodrow seems never K
have been: or II she has visited them has
not seen the truth there spread before her.
In Indianapolis, for Instance, know bril-
liant women. of fine intellect. who are
good wives. mothers and housewives. and
who keep at most one servant Yet they
ind time to belong to clubs and TO take an
intelligent interest in what Is happening
in the world. They know art and history
and politics better than the women in the
large cities know dress.
These are the women 20 be considered
They are the vast body Of American wives.
Fancy these women going into offices to
become economically independent. Thel-
families would think them crazy and there
would he reign OF domestic anarchy
ended only by mother dropping her busl-
ness fad.
Mrs. Woodrow's answer to the antici
pated question: What will become OF
the children when Mother goes ont to
work?" is curious one. She says: II

FALL WORK IN THE
CABBAGE PATCH

Pogessive Farmer.
The first essential for the produc-
ton of good early cabbages is that
the soil he rich. You cannot take up a
piece of old field soil and make cab
bages OH it, no matter how much fer
tilizer you may apply. In fact, no mat
ter how fertile a piece Of land may ap-
pear to he, it will not produce the best
truck crops until after it has been
used several years for this purpose
and heavily fortified annually.
Then the soil must be light and
we'll drained. You can grow good cab
bages OH low land, provided it is
thoroughly drained, for m Of the
best crops are now grown in eastern
North Carolina on black swamp land
that has been thoroughly drained. Ev-
en- on this fertile soil, fertile so far
as nitrogen is concerned, but lacking
mineral matter to some extent, the
growers use half a ton per acre Of
~high-gra1e fertilizer strong in nitro
gen and phosphoric acid especially.
On high land it abs been found that
cabbages need both manure and fertil-
izers.
The New Bern growers use, in plant-
ing, a machine that opens a fulrow,
puts in the fertilizer and makes the
bed all at one operation and the
planters follow Immediately after the
machine. In low grounds there 1 no
ticed that they set the plants righ3 IN
top of the beds. l found at Raleigh
that it was best to run the beds east
and west and to set the plants low
down on the north side of the bed.
Being on the cold side they will not
be apt to start into gTJwth in warm
spells in winter and then get killed
by q cold snap. They are also shaded

Paint ?

There are two good reasons for painting
often-enough or wen too-often. One, to
look prosperous ; two, to be so.
Nothing does one more credit or gives
one more credit than paint, supplemented
Of course by what goes with it; and paint
costs nothing.
True, the first cost Is SIS or Sc a gallon
put-on; but it saves more than thatin the
property; saves it from slow going-down
not always slow-it drops with q jump
when water gets in on wood and iron.
Dry wood and iron cost nothing, kept
dry by paint.
Better paint when it needs it. Paint
never goes down In the sense OF being
more profitable next year.

Abbeville, s. c., Oct. 3, 1919.
Last week was the fall opening Of the
emporiums Of fashion, all Of which were
arrayed in their grsndest style. The dis
play Of elegant and stylish dress goods
and all the latest creations in millinery
was very beautiful and most artistically
arranged. This is an event that the ladies
always look forward to with untold inter
est and b e~greatest pleasure, and the mer-
chants are always honored by their pres
ence. The other stores on these occasions
usually put on their best display, snd in
deed some OF them look very pretty In the
arrangement Of their windows especially.
AS the years go by they will all fall into
line. Competition Is now SO sharp and
great that all who wish to make a success
of business will have to fall into line,
brighten up and fix up In the most attrao-
tive style, 30 as to present their goods In
the most catching way. Try it.
