WHAT DO THE FARM WOMEN
WANTf

That scholarly and able North Caro-
/ l.nian. Secretary OF Agriculture Hous-
! ton. IS writing to the wives or the
I dict!on TO ask them for their advice
"a TO how the lot OF the women on
the farms can be bettered In ways
over which his department has con
troll. Several hundred Virginia farm
women will receive this request. His
inquiry will go into $500 counties IN
the United States. He also invites
individual replies. as well as the
opinions OF clubs. guilds and other
associations OF women
This recognition OF the woman on
tho farm owes its initiation to an en-
pert in the study OF rural conditions
IN large par, OF the area OF the
nation. who told Secretary Houston
that the farm woman Is the most neg
lected factor in the rural problem. and
that she has been overlooked by the
Department. OF Agriculture IN its many
fine efforts TO serve the country home.
When all the replies come in. they
the resultant generalization. Secretary
Houston Will secure information which
will enable him TO proceed !nteui-
gently. Even II It shall finally appear
that he can do little, his inquiry has
rendered high service in directing the
attention OF the whole country 10 the
situation and to the needs % the wife
and daughter OF the American farmer
One thing IS certain. a very great
proportion OF tho replies will include
an expression Of desire for more leis-
uce. The solution OF that problem can
hardly be reached by the Department
OF Agriculture. There Is a certain
amount OF work that must be done on
the farm by the farm woman. and in
so many cases 4 is so tremendously
absorbing that apprcciable leisure Is
Impossible. How can the farm woman

Ambitious and intellectual farm
women abound in Virginia We know
It because we have read their letters
They wish for better order Of things
in tho country, hut they zee no way
OF getting it. They are not anxious
TO join in the drift of rural population
to the cities, for they like the wide
open spaces OF the country and its
good neighborhood: but they would like
to possess some OF the advantages
which their urban sisters can so easily
and quickly enjoy. Many OF these
women are very brave, struggling
against overwhelming economic odds.
but never losing faith and never los
Ing courage. The Times Dispatch
hopes that Virginia farm women. not
only those written TO by Secretary
Houston, but also those outside Of his
necessarily limited list, will write 70
him and tell him what they would
like to have for the Improvement OF
their lot.

ton is n long deserved recognition of
the law teacher who is often regarded
by practitioners as an impractical
crank or boob-work visionary. The
bench Of tho nation would be more
efficient II It had more law teachers
upon IT, for the law professor has spent
the larger part Of his career In un-
divided attention to learning OF law.
while his brother ut the bar has been
simply practicing upon limited
knowledge. These legal scholars who
poke around IN the yearbooks that
everybody else has forgotten have ex-
cavated judicial mistakes that have
upset many q century old precedent.

The Southside police are working on
theory that the horse Of J. T. VIII
lard, Of 2l7 East Twelfth Street. and
the buggy and harness OF -. \. Wood

young Southside boys who made their
getaway by n clever ruse without ex-
citing suspicion.
The horse and buggy both disap-
pearcd on Tuesday night. Mr. Woodiin
said that two boys came to his home
about II o'clock, and wanted to Dor
row his runabout and harness. They
told him that Frank Rcnnie, n friend
OF his. had asked them to get II for
him. When they said this he readily
complied. and since then nothing has
been seen Of his property.
Mr.. Willard missed his horse We'd

Philharmonic Society.

Secondary to an announcement by
officers of the Philharmonic society
efforts are being made to unite all the
vocal forces of the two towns into one
large choral society this year which Is
to be incorporated under the laws OF
North Dakota. The incorporators are
w. D. Gillespie, H. P. Beckwith, A. T.
Russell, A. r. Watkins and Paul
Bunce.
Rehearsals will be held In the Y. M.
C. A. auditorium on Monday evenings
and all who are interested in choral
work and have good voices are most
cordially invited to join. 1t Is to be
hoped that Fargo will get together in
this respect as it has in other respects
this last year, and make g. club that
will be a credit to the northwest.
There is an abundance of material in
the two cities and with the right kind
of spirit big things can be done. 1t is
PLANNED to give two concerts, one In
January and the other later in the
spring. There will be two short works
given at the first concert, Grieg's Olaf
TTygvasson, and either Harriet. Wares
Sir O1uf or Goring Thomas Swan and
Skylark, depending on whether Miss
Ware can be In Fargo at the time. Let
all Fargo and Moorhead singers get

oraa,, Recital at ct. Marks.

The beauties of the recently INSTALL
ed pipe organ in st. Marks Lutheran
church., were disclosed in a recital
given last Wednesday evening by Will
liam Ripley Dorr, organist and choir
master at Trinity church, Minneapolis.
The programme was specially design
ed to show off the instrument which
is nearly always the case on the oc-
casion of the first recital on a new in
strument, yet considerable d~iscrimina-
ton was shown in the arrangement of
the programme. Mr.. Dorr Is a young
player and makes no pretense to pro-
fessionalism and Is yet a student in
the University of Minnesota, but he
has made great advances as a player
Of the king of instruments and he has
musical friends who anticipate great
things when he Is a more matured
player. However, up to date he has
done some excellent work. The gem
Of the evening was Midsummer Ca
price, by Johnston, orga1list at Cornell
university. If applause had been al
lowed there would have a recognition
of the pretty solo effects. mi of the
seven numbers programmed was the
Marche Nuptiale, bv the greatest of all
organ composers, Guilmant. The pro-
grainrle closed with a concert overture
in G minor by Hol1ins, a powerful over
ture which brought out the soft meIo-
dies and a full great organ climax.
