The Woman In Front of the Counter

BY Mrs. T.. p. Turner
The press Of the Nation has had
much to say in favor of the woman
behind the counter and no doubt
there is room for improving her con
ditlon The whole world sympathizes
with the woman who tolls.
But I want to say a few words in
favor OF the women In front OF the
counter. We have 100000 farm la
borers in Texas and the average wage
is six dollars per week without board
and we have 100000 tenant farmers
who make very little, II any. more
than farm laborers. making n total
OF 40. 200 men. mostly heads OF fam
lilies. that work for six dollars per
week and board themselves, which
constitutes so per cent of our entire
farm population. A half million farm
ers wives stand in front OF the count
err and a few pennies added to their
weekly plttance will buy the baby a
new dress. the mother pair OF
shoes and the father a shirt
Man people seem TO think that be
cause the farmers wife gets plenty
Of fresh air and sunshine. she should
be happy and these are God given
privileges. but Il takes something
more than a bcneficent nature TO ed
ucate children. build homes and pro
vide the families with the comforts
of life. I'm re-adiusting the wage
scale Of industry don't overlook the
woman In front OF the counter.

COMMERCIAL CLUBS BUY
JIG CORN TO HELP FARMERS

Winfield, Sept. Sowing to the
fact that there was not much corn
grown in this county this year, ana
the fear that there will be a short
age of seed corr next spring, the
Winfield Commercial club has de-
cided to purchase 5000 bushels OF
Cowley county grown seed corr and
hold It for the farmers of this coun-
" who will need 1t next year. 1t
is understood that the Arkansas
City commercial club will purchase
and hold about the same amount
for the farmers in the south part
OF the county. One hundred and
twenty thousand acres of Cowley
county land was planted to corn this
year, requiring $4,000 bushels OF
seed corn. 1t is believed that the
Ia 5000 bushels held by the Winfield
and Arkansas City Commercial clubs
will supply the wants of all those
who will not be able to hold over
their own seed.

Washington, Aug. 29.-An insur-
gent movement among Democratic
senators that threatened to break
party lines on the income tax was
headed off by the leaders today by
an agreement to revise. the tariff
bill SO as to levy a heavier tax on
the incomes from large fortunes
The insurgent leaders began with a
demand for a party conference ana
claimed the support Of twenty-seVen
Democratic senators Of the fifty IN
the senate, in support Of an increase
in the tax. They finally agreed 70
withdraw their demand for a spe-
cial caucus but the question will be
taken up in a party conference
later.
It is understood that Democratic
leaders have agreed to a revision
of the income tax section SO ina
the extra tax on incomes OF more
than 100000 will be 5 per cent
with an increase reaching 10 pc
cent on incomes of 100000. Tn
bill as it now stands provides ina
only 8 per cent tax above 100000
The present rates on incomes be
tween $4,000 and 100000 ais
will be increased.
The agreement to redraft the Oh
came after Senator vardaman lei
the party ranks and voted for Sen
ator LaFollette's amendment to IN
crease the rates and Senator'S Reet
