new slogan. Stay on the farm" with
out radical methods
In eastern Pennsylvania, the sum-
mer season always brings along a
scarcity OF farm help. and here the
Queen OF the Household has during
a number of years solved the difficult
labor questions. A famous woman
lawyer once said, that woman de-
mands the right to work at whatever
she pleases, and that she also has the
right to compete with the stronger
Sex in all branches of work; because
she was the original worker on this
earth. ever since the human race
sprung into existence. and that since
this period she has been able to
make her own living and that of her
offspring"
Not on this theory alone. but on ac-
count OF the fact that the wives ard
daughters Of the sturdy farm
ers in this state. love to do
manual work, at periods when the
kitchen drudgeries allow her to step
into the open air and take part in
work that her husband. and her BROTH

on the farm, which might otherwise

Are the manifold duties on the
farm too strenuous? The average
farmwife. who loves to go in the
field for a change. says she prefers
this work to that OF chambermaid
