AS these United states come 10 the

source OF pride to every patriot that
tho nation has given almost daily evil

We seem to have passed beyond tho
era of hystcria and undertaking. There
is little desire 10 look on the black side
of our life, or to make costly sacrifices

country and it's policies.

America have resolutcly refused to be

Not q moments worry over cloth

Propositions look all right, army
doesn't even fight;
uncle sam has got no scrap with any
foreign power.
Soldiers simply loaf lot with no
chance of getting shot.
Lying in their hammocks reading
novels by the hour.
lioeing taters on the farm loses all
its old-time charm,
Bill Jones packs his satchel and he
hikes out for the town.
Horny handed son of toll leaves tho
old parental soil.

perhaps in time renown.

black the captains boots.
Curry horses, scour the pans, act

There's no loafing meath tho trees:

THE co-orEnAr1vH LAUNDRY,

INC slogan OF the Conference for

"co-opcration' In country life The
principle has been tried out with most
satisfactory results In Fillmore Coun-
~ Minnesota. whore there is a group
OF progressive farmers who have dem
cnstrated the practical Value OF tho
idea They have been operating n CO.
operative creamery for many years to
their common profit and the abolition
of tho drudgery of tho churn.
When their wives were relieved
from this work. the Fillmore County
farmers, with very excellent sort
OF chivalry, planned the removal of
the drudgery of wash-da They built
an addition to the creamery and put
steam laundry plant in it, They
struck out ut first blow tho expense
ordinarily cntailed in collection and
delivery OF the washing. Tho daily
trips of the farm wagon or auto truck
to the creamery eliminate that cost.
About $50 farm washings are done
each month ut this laundry, and the
monthly cost TO each family averages
s1.96. 1t is thought that there is an
actual economy To each family through
tho elimination of the expense of n
washing plant in each home.
The great saving comes, however, in
tho release of women and girls of the
farm from one of the factors that has
tended 10 dissatisfy them with farm
life They have more time to make
their homes attractive: they have moro
time for social life. for home. church.
school and community activities. Per
haps the similar abolition of tub and
churn In all farm communities would
do much toward solving the much
mootcd problem OF moro leisure for
the farm woman. a question of just as
much Importance in Virginia as any
where else.

approval in the house, is to be intro

observance of the Sabbath is having
very deleterious effect on the young
people of the territory, particularly
the Hawaiian children, and declared
it is degrading their morals He
would re-establish the old order of
things, in vogue up to 1909, when
Senator Quinn's measure permitting
Sunday amusements became law
By resolution Mr. Makekau an
nounced he also intends waging a
strict censorship of moving pictures,
declaring that many of those now
shown are extremely bad for the
morals Of impressionable young chill
dren. He said he had seen many films
portraying passionate love scenes,
highway robbery, burglary and similar
vicious action, that he was convinced
would tend to give children wrong
