A STRIKE BY FARM WOMEN.
What Caused, in Part, the Movement
from Country to Town.

from Country to Town.. 5
From the Newark News: In the
struggle to- make the farm pay many
a, farmer overlooR6s the fact that life
for the woman on the farm is hard
and idstastefuI. Not long ago the fact
that many prosperous farmers in
Missouri were leaving their farms
and moving into town led to an in
vestigation and the discovery that this
was because of the lives the farmers
wives and daughters were forced to
lead. r.
The farms were equipped with mod
ern machinery and implements, up-to-
date methods of filling, planting and
harvesting had been installed, and
many times there were automobiles.
But the women did their work by the
crude methods of long ago, drawing
water from wells and heating it on
kitchen toves for the family wash%
ing, deprived of the advantages of
running water, sewers gas and cleo
tricity. The movement to town act
ually was a result Of a strike by the
| women
! The country now shows numerous
instances where social cooperation
has vastly improved farm life. Many
of the conveniences of towns are now
found in the agricultural districts,
simply through organization among
the farmers. In some cases the agri-
cultural college has shown the way.
In others it has been the grange the
farmers union, or some other organi-
cation, that has been the means to
the end. The town has street cars,
street lights, water systems, gas, cleo
tricity, clubs, libraries, churches.
banks. The farmer cannot have ali
these things, but 1t has been shown
that through cooperation he may
have some of them. At least one
farmers organization has established
a cooperative laundry, which has re-
suited in vastly Tightening the burden
of the women.
Cooperative economic action, as APP
piled to the farm, has grown to an ex-
tent that is surprising. 1t long ago
| passed the theoretical stage and now
is largely praeticed. There are co.
operative stores, cooperative grain
elevators, cooperative selling and
buying activity, and rural credits. In
the latter, the United States Isl lag
gard as compared with some foreign
nations, but the movement is rapidly
growing. The commission appointed
by the president recently to study co.
operative credit societies abroad re-
commended in its report that Ameri-
can FARMERS from societies similar to
those they saw operating in othe coun-
ties. In Illinois a state land credit
bank has been formed, to- make long
loans, not subject to call, and at a. low
rate of interest, to farmers on real
estate security. This is not In the
strictest sense a cooperative society,
but it's object is the same.
The wealth of the nation is in the
land. The essence of this investiga-
tion by the government is to help the
farmer extract more. money from the
soil, to add TO his Independence and to
his pride in his vocation. and to rend-
more nearly akin to the pIeasanter
ones obtaining in city and owl Adj
mirable as this object is, 1t lis pleasant
to note that in many instances the
farmer did not wait to he shown the
way.

Pearson is quoted as having said
in Winnipeg Friday that his former

years ago.
1T was stated by The Pioneer Press
correspondent in Sioux Rapids, last
night that no Mrs. Pearson had died
in that place in TWENTY-FIVE years.
This statement was made after the
death certificates for that length Of
time had been examined. He said al
so that no minister of that name had
been in the city in twenty-five years.

party, who was emphasizing his words

/ And then the scramble began. Three
were overpowered before they could
make use of their weapons; but the
others fought like savages. One, with
knife between his teeth, had barri-
caded himself behind a table, and fired
revolver shots at us; while the other
two, armed with huge knives, threw
themselves upon those nearest to
them. Brunei received an ugly cash
in the thigh, and poor Larose was shot
in the leg. Suddenly one of my men
shouted:
Look out sir
I turned quickly, and saw a fellow,
who had been hiding underneath a
table, pointing a pistol at me. But the
arm that held it was caught, wrenched
backward, and, with howl, he fell On
the floor. In less than five minutes
everything was over, and my prison
ers, carefully handcuffed, were con-
veyed to the prefecture.
Then came the day OF reckoning.
Crampon and his accomplices were
committed for trial. OF the eight who
were arraigned, seven were sent to
penal seRvitude; but Crampon, the
murderer, was sentenced to death.
The latter, who had told me twice that
he wanted to be, as he called 1t,
butte" had hoped that his sentence
would be comnuted to transportation
, for life; but On the sixteenth Of De-
cember, in the afternoon, l was of
ficially informed that his execution
would take place the following day.
At five o'clock the next morning,
Deibler, the executioner, arrived on

I followed NJ. Beauquesne, the govern
or of the Roquette prison, into Cram
pon's cell. The examining magistrate,
the police conmissary Of the Roquette
district, two other officials, and three
warders accompanied us. When we
entered, Crampcn, who was sitting on
his bed, turned livid.
g "Crampon," said NJ. Beauquesne,
! 'tthe moment of expiation has arrived"
; The condemned man tried to speak,
but We heard nothing bCt rafting
sound. The warders helped him to
dress, and we left him alone with the
priest, the Able Valladcn. He then
was conducted to the Sale du Griffe,"
a dismal room with a stone floor, and,
in the center, small stool on which
the culprit sits to submit to the toll
ette," which consists in cutting his
lair and shirt around the shoulders,
and pinioning him. When Crampon
felt the cold steel Of the scissors on
his neck, he shuddered, and uttered
a faint cry.

Of the prison were thrown open, and
the sad procession appeared. First
