Whenever We see in the newspapers
and magazines. as we often do, com
mcnts on the disruptmg of the home
and fears expressed regarding the
lcsscUing OF home influence because of
women entering the various fields OF
labor, we recall tho following words
OF the late Susan B. Anthony. Miss
Anthony was woman's friend and
mover voiced q senumcnt nor sug-
gcsted any course Of action, which
would in any way tend TO other than
the uplifting of women.
She said: Nothing can destroy the
homo lie. The more women become
the equals OF men and the more they
are considered as equals the stronger
will the home life become Women

but now, with their Increasing educa-
tlon, ability and opportunities, they
are better able TO nuke the home lie
what It should be. The increasing
activity OF woSaeR in all branches OF
industry is simply the result OF our
improved civilization.
Many women bread winners have
chosen strange careers for themselves
IN various parts OF the world. Their
example mv inspire others. If not to
adopt like professions. to act upon the

local markets in time OF bloom, make
her life a strenuous one, for here, as
IN everything else, success depends
upon continuous care and labor
In the Sacramento valley, the wife
OF an eastern physician raises olives.
! That she also sells them is attested
by the fact that a great factory on
her ranch prepares for the eastern
markets large Quantities OF luscious
ripe olives.
Another woman in California has
/ made q fortune growing nuts. While
waiting for the nut trees TO reach
their maturity this energetic woman
raised pampas grass between the tree
rows, and cleared rs high as $4,000 @

brought competence to another
woman, who. thrown upon her own
resources, awaited herself OF the adj
van,agcs SHE saw close at hand. Chi

maud an the output from this wom-
ans ranch. Her great success is due
to her dainty and artistic manner OF

In the constantly broadening field
Tor women workers, no occupation
seems better suited to the artistic,
heautyloying temperament of women
than the raising OF flowers. Many
