wANE OF MOTHERHOOD.
Constantly Decreasing Birthrate Noted
Among Both Rich and Poor.

Ellen Key in the Atlantic: Now we
see a constantly decreasing birthrate
on account of an increasing disinclina-
ton for motherhood, and this not
alone among the child-worn drudges
in home and industry, not alone among
the lazy creatures of luxury. No, ever
women strong of body and worthy of
motherhood choose either %celibacy, or
at most one, often no child.
And not a few women are to be
found eager advocates Of children's
upbringing from infancy outside of
the home. Motherhood has, in other
words, for many women ceased to
be the sweet secret dream of the
maiden, the glad hope of the wife, the
deep regret of the ageing woman who
has not had this yearning satisfied.
Motherliness has diminished to such
a degree that women use their intel
ligence in trying to prove that day
nurseries, kindergartens, and schools
are not only necessary helps in case
Of need, but that they are better than
the too devoted and combining mother
Illness of the home, where the child is
developed into a family egoist, not in
to a social modern human being!

read an interesting paper on south
America, speaking of the climate, pro-
ducts raised, and the cost of living. A
paper on Brazil read by Mrs. ole Ohm
stad concluded the programme. Mrs.
Ohnstad's was well prepared ana
proved interesting. AT the close OF the
afternoon refreshments were served py

The programme will be In charge OF
Mrs. w. j.. Hurst. Il
The ladies OF the Current Events

noon reception this week in honor OF
Miss Mary McFadden of st. Paul who
was brought to that city by the cur
rent Events club for an address on
Woman and Government. The recep-
ton was given at the home of Mrs. II.
C. Misner from 3 to 5 O'Clock ana a
large company had the privilege OF
meeting Miss McFadden who is a well
known Journalist and editor of The
Courant. Miss McFadden's address in
the evening was a plea Ter equal SUR
rage and she proved herself a most
entertaining lecturer. Miss McEadden
is working for the passage of an equal
suffrage amendment to the Minnesota
constitution at the coming session OF
the legislature.

the morning hours" said Mrs. w: y.
Riddell, president of the Des Moines
Women's club, recently, as she address
ed several hundred members OF the
club and their friends. LAS club women,
members of the largest women's club
in the state, ] beg of you to remember
the young women who serve you so
go about the stores doing your shop
ping" said Mrs. RIddell. ut is not the
merchant who is to blame for the long
hours and the busy rush as Christmas
draws near. 1t Is we women VINO are
to blame. The merchant gives US what
we demand and by our putting of until
the last day or so the shopping we
knew some time ago must be done, we
are demanding the longer hours and
piling UP the duties of the young Wo.
mar behind the counter. 1t Is a task
to keep good-natured all day through
that rush and hurry, but the girl who
waits upon you must be always cour-
teous, always cheerful, despite the
fatigue of the day. We all owe some
thing to these young women and we
can show our appreciation OF tneil
services by shopping now and prefer
ably in the morning hours" The Des
Motnes Women's club has a member
ship of 700 or more women, women OF
prominence and influence whose exam
pie will be followed, and from the ADJ
peal 1t is safe to say she will have the
backing Of every club member. which
means much.

to be nothing to encourage investment
buying of wheat. declines from this
level are quite sure to be followed by
fair reactions and we would advise
against sales on the breaks.

ment in the local spot wheat demand,
bulls would be more aggressive.
Clement Curtis: Liverpool will con-
tinue to make the market in wheat.

of political complications abroad and

character, either political or from the
Argentine, come to hand the market
is In shape to respond just as quick

are timid, however, as yet, but we be-
