OMAHA, Neb., March 81
Miss L. G. Harding, secretary of
the Omaha board of trade, has a
chicken farm worth $4,000, and
last year she cleared $4,765 on
her poultry and eggs. Nine years
ago she had just $40 and a job
in business office.
That was about the time when
Miss Harding noticed the high
cost of living, and she was the
main support of her family. She
invested that $40 in a hen house,
dozen hens and a rooster. At
first her idea was to supply fresh
eggs for the family table, and
she found the back yard plenty
large enough for the flock.
With this plant she succeeded
in furnishing enough eggs for her
family and some neighbors,
and in the spring she bought
small incubator. After light
ing the tiny lamp Miss Harding
spent day and nights of con-
slant worry for fear it would
go out, and paid the wooden
hen many anxious visits.
Miss Harding thought she had
the chicken business solved right
then and there, but more trouble
came when she lost all of the
first hatch because she had no
brooder or receptacle for bridg-
ing the dangerous first ten days

A Problem That Should Be
Solved.

Dear Miss Grey: 1 have
become intensely interested
I'm the vice and white slavery
problem; 1 would like to say
u few words through your
column about IL. 1 am q
working girl and have sup
ported myself about five
years, although i am still
young (2O), my eyes have
been opened to a great many
things.
Why are boys not raised
the same as girls? Mothers
take the best care of the
girls and let the boys run
riot. Why is IL, mothers,
you do not talk to your boys
as you do your girls? Can't
you see that by raising your
boys right you may be saw
ing several girls souls?
Every living son has had q
mother, maybe they are
dead; no good, or revered by
their boys. Can't you see,
mother, what you could save
by having a heart to heart
talk with them about things
you know, and things they
think they know; but which
IL spoken of by their mother
would be looked on in a diff
ferent light?
Why Is this world turning
out such men? Why do we
have white slavery? Why
isn't the sex problem studied
the same as spelling, or any
other study at school? Why
aren't the children taught
control and restraint? Be-
cause they think 1t is not
right to bring up such SUBJ
jects for children to discuss.
Bah! Don't they talk of
those things they do not un-
derstand anyway? How much
better IL would be IL they
were made to understand.
There will always be children
who will speak in the most
degrading manner of such
things; but If the subject
was studied as IL should be,
at home and in school, IL
virtue were instiIled in the
boys as well as the girls,
fewer girls would go wrong.
1t is all right IL boys go
wrong; IL they have the gen.
eral run of diseases, and SO
on--he is STILL my son!-
But a giri--the people hold
up their hands in holy ter
ror and she is even kicked
out; surely, she wasn't raised
right, maybe she was; but
she is not altogether to
blame. Ask her about the
man who dragged her down,
for it was a man, of course;
maybe he was an old man, a
middIe-aged man, or even
just q kid; even so, IL these
rules of self-restraint were
laid down I'm his memory by
home teachings, would not
he have been different?
Father and mother, can't
you see IL Is with the sons
you have to battle? When
parents talk TO the sons the
same as the girls, then we
will have solved many q
problem; then we will have
children to be proud of, and
only then.

GOVERNOR HELD BY
MUD AT CUMM|NS

Little Rock, Nov. 29.-Not water
boand, but mud bound, Gov. G. w.
Hays remains on the Arkansas state
farm at Cummins, and indications are
he will not be rescued before Monday
The state farm is situated on the
Arkansas river, five miles from the
railroad, which has already been bad
ly cut by the heavy wagons which
hauled the cotton to the railroad. The
heavy rains of the past few days put
the finishing touches to this thorough
fare, and it is almost impossible to
get vehicle over it. The animals
pulling vehicles sink to their stomach,
and make travelling so slow that Gov
ernor Hays decided he would rather
wait until enough rain fell to permit
his getting out by boat, or the wealth
er turned cold enough to freeze over
the road.

CASES AT tNOLA

Seven new cases of hookworm in
lection were discovered at Enola this
week by Drs. Jacocks and Callen, who
are completing the fourth week of
their survey of Faulkner county with
their appointment at Conway today.
This is the largest number yet found
at any place and emphasizes the i'm
portance of everyone being examined
while the doctors are here. DR.. ia
cocks stated, however, that on account
of the bad weather and the holiday
Thursday, the number of examina-
lions this week was much smaller thae
that of the preceding week.
Instead of going to Providence on
Tuesday of next week, the doctors will
hold a dispensary at Mayfiower.
