STRIKE OF FARMERS WIFE

A late issue of the Iowa Home
stead contained the concluding sec
ton of an interesting account of
a strike by farmers wives. 1t
seems that the ladies rebeled
against the lack of home equipment
and conveniences that made house
hold work a drudgery. So they
struck. They all gathered at the
home of woman farmer and sent
their ultima tum to the various
husbands. They decided to stand
or fall together, and that there
would be no surrender and no. re
turn until the demands of each
and every wife had been complied
with. They made good, and after
one or two visits the general i'm
provements were made. and the
home life of the county started
upon a sensible and harmonious
basis. We offer The Iowa Home
stead and our own paper both one
year for only $1.25.
