WHY FARM WOMEN DIE
A READY EXPLANATION

Farm and Fireside, an agricul-
tural paper published at Spring
field, o., contains in its current
number an interesting account of
farm life as viewed from the stand
point of women. The author of the
article "a woman) says that as the
farm becomes more prosperous the
farmer has more help, both men
and machinery, while the work of
his wife is increased-more people
to cook for and wash dishes for,
more fruit, more chickens and milk
to attend to. In the majority of
cases the farmers wife does not
have more help as her work be-
comes heavier. The author goes on
to say.
ut is statistical fact that farm
women die earlier than do farm
men, and that those who survive
the years of drudgery break in
health sooner than do the men.
The opposite is true in town. There
is no doubt in my mind that the
biggest factor in the development
of this state of affairs is the woeful
lack of labor-savirg contrivances in
the farm woman's home. Many
houses in the country are still with
out that greatest of labor-savers-a
kitchen sink, with pump or fau-
Get and with a drain leading out
from It, The carrying in and out
of water is the most laborious and
back-breaking task of all the hard
tasks belonging to the housekeep-
er. There is no substitute for a
kitchen sink. If you can add but
one thing to your home this year,
and if you have no kitchen sink,
let that be the addition"

$500 HAPPY CHILDREN
, TREATED TO A CIRCUS
By a Millionaire Who When a
Boy Hadn't the Price
OF aTicket.

Chicago, June 2S.-Twenty-fiv
years ago a penniless boy in Dele
van, Wis, viewed with envy the
boys of his town as they sped on
their way to the big attraction of
the day-a circus. He couldn't go;
he hadn't the price-25 cents. He
longed to be inside that tent and
see it's wonders that more fortunate
boys were enjoying.
Then he made resolution. 1t
was that he would get rich and see
all the circuses he desired. He
decided to come to Chicago, vowing
as he left home that some time he
would come back, buy the town and
give every boy in the county cir

That boy, now Edward Tilden,
millionaire packer, kept his prom
Use to-day when he gave a circus to
$500 small boys and girls living in
Delevan and vicinity. He has al
ready kept most of his promise
concerning the buying of the town,
for he owns many large farms
there and a palatial country place
on Delevan Lake where his little
guests frolicked to-day.
1t was more than circus. Ev-
erything the childish heart could
desire was there and in abund-
ance. Jimmy Ward made an aero
plane fight. Hundreds of automo-
biles whirled through the forest
drives, carrying hundreds of happy
children. There's was a circus in
which some of the best acrobats,
bareback riders and clowns per-
formed.
Then there was a feast such as
never had been seen by many of the
guests. A Chicago band furnished
music throughout the day. The
various amusement features and
the dinner cost Mr.. Tilden $4,000.

night. ut has been long since |

Campbell, pastor of the Methodist
church Immediately after which the
remains were inferred at Oak Lawn

ANNEXATION IN INDIANA
Privileges Allowed by State Law
Have Added to Gary's Area.

Amusing episodes in the growth of
Indiana's new steel town, Gary, are
told by Graham Romeyn Taylor in an
article in the Survey, discussing
some of the civic problems of the
place He says. "Gary's annexa-
ton experiences rival the most com
plicated matrimonial career that ever
found its way into divorce court.
1T seems that Indiana has law

two-thirds of all its voters. The bur
den of the situation is thus put, not

those who want TO stay independent

her thirst for dominion might with

up the future citadel Of steel decid-

beat her to it,.
Accordingly, the mayor and the
nine councilmen hastily met before
daylight the very next morning and
officially annexed the newly-enlarged

Legislative Sessions.

II is not surprising that the unex-
pected prolongation of this session of
the Maine Legislature should have
renewed the agitation that is stirred
up occasionally in favor of annual
instead of biennial sessions as at
present. There are some arguments
on in favor of annual sessions, but
there are so many strong ones in
favor of the present system of meet
ing biennially that the mere fact that
a Legislature is compelled to remain
at the State House a couple of weeks
longer than is usual would hardly be
good reason for reyerting to the old
plan.
There are now but five states in the
union which have annual legislative
sessions, Georgia, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, New York and Rhode Is
land. Four of these are big states.
even Georgia, having population
nearly four times that of Maine so
annual sessions may be desirable
there. but If commonwealth like IL
linois and Pennsylvania can get
along with sessions every two years,
it would seem that Maine ought to
be able to do so.
At the same time there is no doubt
but that three months that are gener
ally devoted to the lawmaking bust
ness here is hardly long enough to
give to matters of important legisla-
ton the consideration that they
should have if we are not to have
hasty and in many cases i'll advised
laws. But the remedy for this we
should say lay in longer sessions and
not in more OF them.
If. as no doubt is the case. the mea
gre pay that is given members OF the
Legislature in this State is one of the
causes Of too hasty adjournment.
then the salaries should be increas-
ed so that members can afford to
stay in session until they have done
what they we're chosen to do and
given the various matters proposed
their best thought and most thorough
consideration. It might be advis-
able even to adopt a per-diem plan OF
payments instead of a fixed sum.
II has been urged against this,
when II has been suggested, that Il
would operate in keeping legislators
in session when they might have
closed up their business and gone
home. but certainly the per diem
would have 10 average more than Il
does under the present system to en-

 Paradise valley was as though
 blockaded last night, late. With roads washed out arroyos flowing banks over with the yellow flood, it was impossible to send men into that region Neither could any of the ranchers come down to the wire ends along the Arizona canal, so that news of the stricken valley is impossible to get at this time It may be, and every one hopes this is true that the flood originated from q cIoudburst on one of the mountain walls of the valley, and that nothing in the valley itself has suffered from the trefnen-
 dous flow If this is the ease, the
 ranchers are probably safe and their l homes undisturbed, except probably | for being wet But if the flood came 1 from the valley proper, it is highly probable that somewhere there are l ranch houses twisted from their fOun- dations and perhaps men, women and children in danger of their lives from 1 the waters.
