mistaken. OF the many families in
this town today, / know of only three
or four who keep hired girls and some
Of those very women themselves work
in Offices. Certainly there is . class Of
women who do not work. Parasites-
not women gamblers wives and such
As they. You know where they end
their day-in the county hospital or
suicides, mostly, but they think while
they are young that anything is better
than work.
Would Mr. W. be one Of those
painted dolls We see on the streets
every day? 1 doubt it. But they ara
class of women who WON'T work
Would she induce her neighbor to BE-
come one of this class. or her neigh
bor's daughter! For shame! go 20
the ant thou sluggard; consider her
ways and be wise.' God created nan
and woman to work; that is why he
gave us brains and intellect and power
of speech, motion and feeling, and not
like the lilies Of the field, just for
looks.
Mrs. W., you are q very interesting
writer and an educated one. If you
would take up the "tramp" PROPOSE
tion and write on that for . sub ject
you might be able to do some good

! I am 4 farmers daughter. I starte
out to earn my own living when was
eighteen years old. I did not have the
education that the average girl Of that
age has today, and I had no expert
ence of life whatever, but God gave
me good sense ard good mother
taught me the difference between
right and wrong and I can truly say
have done much better than the av-
erage educated girl. Once I put my
hand to the plow never turned back.
I earned my living in several states,
eastern, western, northern and middle
states. Canada and Mexico. I have
tried them all. am 50 year Of age
now and am strong and we'll and still
working for my home, my husband and
my family-God bless them all-and
pray I may live many more years to
work for those I love. How anyone
can complain because they have to
work is . wonder to me. wae it not
intended that we should work. A
woman refusing to work should think
of what was said Of the tree Of old:
"Cut it down. why eumbereth it the
earthi"
Talk Of asking Uncle Sam to make
laws to protect the farm woman. Let
her God-given brains protect her. Any
cid time that Uncle San will make
laws to govern our households, win
consider it time for the people Of the

wAo are educated enough to not work
for living. They are anarchists, pure
and simple, and any person who says
they will strike, be they man or woman,
