AT LEAST GOT RID OF IT
Defendant Had Not Strictly obeyed
Courts Order, But Neither Was
He in Contempt.

Murray L. Pennell, defendant in
the indianapolis dynamiting case,
caused a little diversion in court pro
ceedings while under cross-examina-
ton. Pencil had been vigorously
chewing gum while on the stand.
If you'll take your gum out of your
mouth we'll get along faster-we
wouldn't be wasting so much time,
said United States Attorney Miller.
Yes, take your chewing gum out OF
your mouth" commanded Judge An
derson.
Pennell sat in the witness chair ap.
parently not making any effort to obey
the order of the court
What, don't you hear the order?'
asked Miller, after there had been ST.
lence in the courtroom for fully min
ute and Pennell had made no visible
movement.
II swallowed it," mumbled Pencil.
Court proceedings were suspended
while Judge Anderson spun around
twice in his swivel chair and hemmed
vigorously.

Posterity to Obtain Records.

We are told that the Modern His
toric Records association has formed
a novel plan of delivering messages
for its members to their descendants
100 years from now. Two envelopes
of durable japanese vellum have been
sent to each member, with the request
that genealogical memoranda, mes
sages and photographs be inclosed.
The sealed envelopes will be de-
posted In leadlined steel chests. One
will be stored with the associations
collections in the New York public
library. A copperplate inscription
will direct that the chest be opened in
the year 2013.
The second chest will be put in
vault near the Cheops pyramid in
Egypt In this way the insurance is
taken against possible destruction by
war or natural causes. The chests
also will contain documents. tablets,
and photographs relating to affairs OF
the present year.

all day long and with equal skill
they cultivate the corn later on. Pre-
pairing the sod with the land roller
and sitting on a disk harrow are all
tasks that of late years have been
done by women, since the country
cousins have seen fit to go to cities
and help city cousins twist cigars in
factories, or work in the iron mills.
They have become the handy girl
around the barn" instead of the for
mer handy man around the house
They have been reading agricultural
papers, some have attended agricul-
tural schools, and quite few have
not only studied domestic science to
be useful In the farmhouse kitchens;
but they have studied feed rations
dairy methods and soil fertility, so
that they know better how to feed a
dairy COW correctly than did their
fathers a decade ago. They are also
able to enforce the sanitary methods
in and about the dairy barn, so that
meat and milk inspectors need not
spend extra car fare to inspect their
farm premises.
Still some of their work is done as
mother and grandmother used to do
it. Small farmers, who do not wish
to go to the expense of buying all the
modern machinery, still cut their
grain with the cradle, and the daugh-
ters bind the grain No corn husk-
ing machines have yet been invented
that husk corn like human hand
can. so women are seen in corn fields
in great numbers. Those farmers
vino still cut their grass fields, and
particularly wet meadows, still use
the forks to spread out the grass TO
dry instead of using tedders. and this
work is all done by young girls.
Many farmers still use the horse
power for operating their threshing
machinery, and here the young wom-
en- find numerous tasks they can do.
such as acting as driver, whipping
and urging the horses around and
around the customary circle in the
horse power shed, feeding the sheaves
into the threshing machine. handing
them to the fodder and pushing the
straw from the barn-hoor to the sta
bles below.
In this respect cooperation, how
ever, lessons this kind OF work. For
in many sections IL is customary TO
have some farmer make the rounds
of all the farms in the neighborhood,
with his gasoline engine and grain
separator and cleaner, doing the work
quickly: but even here woman takes
her position in helping to fill the
sacks, hand the sheaves to the opera
tor and see that all the straw gets
into the NOV or the extra straw

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 and
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
er is accustomed to do.
With modern farming methods in
troduced by improved machinery,
women can do a great many things
on the farm. which might otherwise
prove a burden. In those sections It
IS not only the wife and the farmers
daughter, and daughters of every

ventilated factory, receiving besides

the farmers in those localities. with

Are the manifold duties on the
Yarn too strenuous? The average

rather than scrub waxed floors or

However, farm work is not all SO
hard as blowing. The self-binder al

farmers son would be able to do it.
