WORK
To GIVE JOY To
FARMER s WIFE
Progressive Ideas and Modern
Equipment Make Her Lot Far
Happier One.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 2O.-On the
primitive farm the convenience and
welfare of the housewife is the last
to receive consideration. The farmer
builds a big barn and a small shack
for house. The well, which is the
only source Of water for both, is
sunk near the barn. The distance the
beasts have to go for water is meas
ured in feet, while the distance the
wife carries the house supply in a
bucket is measured by rods.
It's the complication of the rule
of the savage and the Indian:
Let the women do the work"
one of the purposes Of the third
annual conference of the Bankers
Committee on Agricultural Develop
ment and Education, held here re-
Gently, was to change that condition.
Later the more progressive farm
ers sank the we'll near the house, in
stalling a windmill or a gasoline
pump. Pipes were laid from the well
to the tank at the barn. The house
wife didn't have to go so far for the
water, but she still had to carry it
into the house in bucket. She
lifted it to the shelf; lifted 1t from
the bucket by dipper into the dish
PAM AllAbu IL Al Olll Nllt ulSllDdll 70 the
refuse bucket; then lifted it again to
empty it at the back door
The modern idea is to sink the well
and install the pump or mill so the
house will be between them and the
barn. Then direct the pipe to the
barn, which has a small elevated
tank. In that way the housewife has
only to turn a faucet for the water
supply. The installation Of drain
in the house will relieve her of all the
lifting of water.
And that all means relief to the
drudgery Of the farmers wife.
It's through the farm expert, or the
county agent, as he is called in many
States that the improving Of living
conditions on the farm is expected
He is to be the farmers business
agent. He is to spread the gospel of
improved living conditions as we'll as

The trousseau OF Miss Jessie Will
son. daughter of the President, who
is to marry Frances B. Sayre, will be
an Americana made one and very
largely a White House-made one as
WELL It was stated to-day.
All of that part of the trousseau
which is of materials known to the
trade as white goods" will be made
and is being made in fact in the
White House itself by two maids.
These maids got their places there
under the Taft occupancy Of the
White House and are holding their
jobs during the present administra-
ton.
The rest of the trousseau-that part
which is usually left to shops and
modistes-is being made in Balti-
more. There will be nothing from
Paris or London and no imported
stuffs,. All are American goods.
Baltimore, by the way, is the shop
ping center of the present admins
tration. The members of the Presi-
dents family have got into the habi:
of motoring over there from WASH
ington. They sin in and out Of shops
and stores without being recognized,
whereas they cannot enter a shop in
Washington without having that fact
appear in the newspapers.
He Is Getting Ready.
Apparently young Mr.. Sayre, the
bridegroom to-b be, is preparing him
self for the wedding, too. He is TAX
ing very serious thought of the du-
ties devolving through marriage on a
man.
His work as head District Attor-
ney Whitman's Abandonment Bureau
has given him unusual opportunities
for studying this theme. 1t is not
at all likely, therefore that he VIII
ever regret having snent the time
in this work, though it is announced
that he is soon TO drop it and be-
come assistant to DR.. Henry Car
field, president of his alma mater
williams College.
Every man who marries, or is
about to marry" said Mr.. Sayre
should weigh all ot the responsible
ties of marriage. Personally I do
not believe that a man should take
a wife unless he has the ability and
the determination to support her. We
ought - have stringent marriage
laws, stringent divorce laws, and
stringent abandonment laws, and
those who break them should pay the
legal penalty"
The Presidents son-in-law to-be
called attention to the fact that when
a man was sentenced to priso1

VICTIMS CD MAD
WHEN TRAPPED
IN DEATH VALLEY.
Tragedies of Lower California
Desert Told by Bodies of
Overwhelmed Men.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sent 2O-Tbe
recent death of Peter A. Busch a Col
orado miner. in Death Valley. recalls
many instances of the treachery of
that portion of California which was
denominated by the early tribal In
dams rs the Valley Of Fire"
Inc Piutes, WashOe and other tribes
in early days condemned their crimi-
nails TO the country surrounding Death
valley. When an outlaw Indian vio-
lated the most sacred laws of his tribe
he was condemned to the VALLEY of
Fire" where he was expected soon to
perish.
OF the hundreds Of bodies found in
Death Valley. where men persisted
from heat and thirst, they are almost
universally naked to the waist. The
tran made by the men before death
also shows circuitous course.
AT certain stage, after being at
tackled by the heat the person begins
to run and claw at his breast. First
his hat Is abandoned. Then he begins
TO claw at his shirt, and finally tears
1t from him.
Then he turns in a circuitous route
and narrows the circuit until finally
he falls exhausted in a heap and
never rises again. Delirium comes on
instantly
1t is presumed that the terrible suf-
fering from the heat and thirst feels
like a load on his lungs and makes
breathing difficult, and that the vic
tim imagines by running he is getting
away from the thing. and that in
clawing off his upper garments he is
releasing the weight.
Scientists who have visited Death
valley in warm weather and had a
touch Of the heat state that the ex-
traordinary effect of the heat there Is
caused by the peculiar situation OF
Death Valley. II is from 100 to 400
feet below sea level and Is shut in on
all sides by high mountains.
The Panamints range shuts out the
moist air from the Pacific Ocean, and
the Funeral and Grapevine ranges
shut out the wind from the slight
vegetation on the eastern side. so that
the only wind that reaches Death VAL
ley and the atmosphere of that region
is the dryest of all places on earth;
that II absorbs from every living
thing. both human and vegetable,
every particle OF moisture.
This is illustrated by the fact that
at certain places in Death Valley,
when the thermometer is at its high
est-often 1877 degrees in the shade
a man never can satiate his thirst.
As soon az he takes the canteen from
his lips the thirst returns just as
strong as ever.
When the system is drained of all
moisture the brain yields, the victim s
eyes stare like a madman's and he
runs his circuitous course to death.

In Danger Of Hunger,
Girl Turns Driver
Young Woman on Strike Asks for

CINCINNATI, Sept. 20.-Desper-
ate because she was unable to secure
enough food TO appease her hunger.
Miss Alice Reed, one of the laundry
workers who went out on strike sew
eral days ago, applied for a job as
driver of a wagon with a prominent
business house here. At first the
proprietor thought that she was 1ok-
ing. but when she convinced him that
she was in earnest and needed work
that badly, he gave her the job.
Aren't you afraid TO handle n horse
and wagon in the busy downtown dis
trict?" she was asked.

because / was raised on a farm and

hood. In fact, think that l will keep
this job all the time, as 1t pays twice
as much as my job in the laundry"

Pupils Get Credit
For Aiding Families
Winding the Baby and Milking the
Cow Count in California
School System.

SACRAMENTO, Sept 2O.-Caring
for baby, milking the COW and help
ing mother and father at home may
be worth credits in all California
schools if State Superintendent Hyatt
can get counties of the State to adopt
the policy which was recently inau-
gurated in San Diego schools.
1.-THE giving of credits in the ele-
mentary schools for outside activi-
ties takes away the bookishness of
schoolwork and promotes opportunity
for children who do not learn readily
from books" says Hyatt. Besides it
encourages work at home, where the
aid of children quite frequently is
needed"
Under the system which San Diego
has adopted and which Superintend-
ent Hyatt particularly indOrses, out
side activities" are given $50 credits
annually just as much as geography,
arithmetic, grammar, history and
spelling.
