behind its vogue in this country and

PROSPERITY FOR ALL

According to the completed prelim-
mary estimate of the department Of
agriculture, the principal farm crops
Of the United States this year are
worth to farmers s4,171,134, OOO-about
$515, 100000 more than lsat years
crops were worth Yields of corn, po-
tatoes, oats, barley, hay and fax are
greater than in any previous year; the
wheat and buckwheat crops are slight
ly smaller than the highest records,
but much larger than last years crops
Values per bushel or per ton are 10 to
40 per cent less than existed a year
ago, but the enormous yields make re-
turns to farmers greater than ever
before. Here we have a condition
which should rebound to the prosper
ity OF all classes.
The large crops give assurance Of
huge returns to the farmer, but at the
same time the cost Of living to the
city dweller seems to be sure TO be
reduced.
Country and city alike should be
happy in their prospect of the years
prosperity.

AW0MANyO OBSERVATIONS


the women workers as well as the

them seem to think women would be

they just don't think of the women at
ALL So We are usually left out. when
we would enjoy 1t and appreciate 1t
fully as much as do the men, and
would have just as good ideas to offer
as the men have.
Some Offices are introducing staff
meetings every morning. That's an
other good plan. Folks can introduce
ideas, exchange opinions, get a clear
notion of what the proprietor wants
and map out program for the day.
1t promotes a teamwork spirit that
always shows good results.
But here again the women are ig-
| nored. I've never been invited yet
to take part in one of our morning
staff meetings, yet the boss comes to
me individually every day to discuss
something relative to my department,
and when we're finished the discus
sion or made a plan which in any
way connects up with the rest of the
business, he wastes time communi-
eating it to the other departments,
when it might just as we'll have been
settled at the morning staff meeting.
'Tf l have an idea about the bust
ness, must take it to him during the
day. Perhaps he wants to discuss it
with some of the other departments.
Well, instead Of inviting me to join
the morning meeting and have my
ideas ready for presentation and dis
cussion when everybody is together,
more time is wasted during the day.
when women are taking such an
important part in business matters
| it seems to me they should be given
the dignity of a place in al the dis
. cussions to which their masculine CO
