WHY WOMEN TIRE
OF STAYING AT HOME

From Youths Compartment A man
goes home tired from his days work
and wonders why his wife wants to
go somewhere in the evening. "Why
go out?" he says. you must dress
up and put on airs and manners, and
talk dreary nothings to those who
talk dreary nothings back to you.
Here is a delightful home to take your
ease in, a cheerful fire, an uncut maya
zine, a drowsy armchair. Why go out 90
The man does not stop to think that
the woman has worked all day to
make the home delightful, has laid the
fire, has busted the armchair, besides
doing a thousand other things to en-
able him to enjoy his uncut magazine
in slumberous peace. She likes q
quiet evening, too, but occasionally
she likes something else.
Women haven't the home feeling -
says Jones to Robinson. why, when
/ take a vacation, / want nothing bet
ter than to stay right at home, with
the children, and potter. round the
place. I hoe a little, I carpenter a
little--there are always a lot of odd
jobs waiting,
'"The two weeks are over before I
know 1t. But Mary's she's different.
She likes to pack her trunk and 60 to
one of those umrner hotels where you
wear your best clothes and talk all
day" And Robinson agrees that wom-
Ell haven't the home feeling.
No home feeling! To a true married
woma home is indeed her world. But
1t Is q world OF are as well as a world
of happiness. She returns to it
with the infinite sense Of relaxation
that her husband feels. No matter
how tired she is, there is, from the
minute she unlocks the door, some
thing to attend to, something on her
mind. What wonder is il that she
wants to roam q little. If only for the
pleasure of coming back.
The next time your wife asks you to
take her out for an evening. do not
grumble, but consider how you would
like it ii. after you had done a hard
days work, she came into your office
at 5 o'clock and suggested your pass
ing the evening there with q maya
zine or two. A woman's home is her
place of business.

| congressional impulse that followed
of personal observations in Cuba, and
the fiat fall Of Senator Penrose's pa
rade of secondhand invention Of Next
can outrages. -
When Mckinley abandoned his exec
utive efforts, his message turned IN in
~fammatory situation over to an excited
and determined congress. Wilson's
message reports the failure of an hon
est endeavor to help a difficult domes-
tic situation by peaceful personal me-
diation, and Is delivered to a congress
that in the main supports this policy
and will continue to do SO. The whole
government and people will now unite
with the president in trying to bring
about the result he has been striving
for alone.
The fundamental difference is that
this country has no international cause
Of offense against the Mexican govern
ment or people. We have only the
world interest Of helping to restore or
der AMI security for life and property.
The surest way to do this Is by aiding
the establishment Of a constitutional
government with good legal title. Other
powers in Europe and America are fast
coming to u support.
This cours can give no just offense
to the Mexican people, or to any gov
eminent with a clear title, right to for
eign recognition or domestic support.
It's success would provoke no resent
ment in Mexico, outside Of a usurping
government without title. It's failure
would provoke no excitement to inter-
v~ention in this country, outside of a
selfish faction that would profit by
war. Every provocation that led to
the war with Spain is hus absent.
The whole policy of the president has
been peaceful and friendly. 1t has
failed with a murderous despot and a
distracted country. Now he turns it
over to congress and people to pursue
by other means. There is not a trace
Of natural war peril in the situation.
The whole government and people are
enlisted against a forced and selfish
war.

FARMING IN ALASKA.

Fairbanks (Alaska) Times: When
anybody tries to tell you that the
government experiment farm at Ester
Siding Is only an experiment., put it
down that he has never been on the
government farm. Until a person is
familiar with the work Of his farm,
he is not competent to discuss intelli-
gently the agricultural possibilities of
the Tanana valley. While the govern
ment farm is intended first Of all to
demonstrate what can be grown sue
cessfully in the Tanana, and what a
better be left alone, it has demon
strated beyond a doubt that farming
here is not an experiment, but an in
dustry in it's infancy.
There are ether successful farms in
the valley. The success of these farms
has done much to inspire confidence in
the Tanana as an agricultural district
and for this the Tanana will always
be indebted to her pioneer farmers.
But all the private farms have profted
by the work of the experiment station,
dAiu liz SCN C4 IILilCllL Ill, DSCduSS IL
grows a wider variety OF crops and has
access to a government printing press
in which ii publish results. has done
most to give publicity to agriculture
In the Tanana.
Americans are migrating in a steady
stream into the wheat lands Of. the
Canadian northwest. If they could
raise from fifty to sixty bushels Of
wheat on unfertilized soil there, they
would consider it wonderful. Yet that
is exactly what was done on the Fair
banks experiment farm last year. Oats
yielded lis bushels to the acre without
any kind Of protection and in soil that
was not fertilized. The potato crop
for the year before, after counting the
cost of clearing the land Of it's tim
her, produced a clear profit of $500 per
acre. When you consider that the
! most conservative estimates figure the
area of agricultural lands in the
Tanana valley at between 1000, 900
and $500, 900 acres, the agricultural
future Of the valley takes on proper
tons that threaten to o~utclass the
mining future.

Woman FOUGHT a Combine.

Farm and Fireside: Not long ago
Mrs. j. F. lobe, a North Texas farm
woman, found herself face to face with
a local combination. Mrs. lobe had a
flock of fine, fat hens ready for mar
ket, but the local buyers drew long
faces and declared that the market
was "~overstocked'- and offered 20
cents apiece for the fowls!
Mrs. Johe consulted her paper and
found that hens were quoted at Sc
per dozen on the Dallas, (Tex.,) mar
ket, the nearest city. Should she
ship? This seemed the logical thing
to do but Mrs. lobe was not unac-
quainted with the ms and outs Of ship
ping poultry, with absolutely no chance
of collecting the money should the
commission firm be a dishonest one
But she finally decided to ship, not
to a commission house, however, but
direct to the consumer by means of the
newly inaugurated parcel post service.
To secure customers she inserted a
small advertisement in the classified
columns of a Dallas daily paper, and
Immediately orders began to come IL in
satisfying numbers.
After paving the postage she had
left more than twice as much as the
local buyers offered. Then, too, the
consumer made a substantial saving in
price and secured a marked improve
ment inquality also, for Mrs. Johe's
farm-fed, farm slaughtered poultry
proved to be far better than the usual
run of market fowls.

Minneapolis Tribune: The presi
dents message yesterday justif1es the
confidence with which the American
people have left the matter in his
hands. His position, in behalf Of the
United States, is that Of the head OF
a great nation which desires to be-
friend Mexico in the only true way,
Mr.. Wilson's definition of true friend
ship in this case is portentous-not for
Mexico, alone, but for every Latin
American nation in the hemisphere,
excepting only Costa Rica, Brazil, Ar
gentine n Chile.
Hereafter, If the Wilson policy is
continued, no government can expect
to establish itself in Central or South
America by the sword. 1t Is con-
ceivable, to be sure, that a leader may
obtain so overwhelming a support for
a rebellion Is to make recognition from
America a moral obligation upon it.
But in such case, our acceptance OF
the rebel government would depend
more largely Upon the support given
to the revolt by the great mass of peo-
pie n upon victory in war. -
Mexico Is partitioned among three
captains. No n Of them can rightly
claim to represent the people. The
chief of them has lately lost ground.
America stands before the world az
Mexico's most powerful and most
friendly neighbor. 1t was to fulfil the
responsibility of such a relationship
that Mr.. Lind was made a special en-
voy. The terms of his commission are
now made public. He was to offer the
impartial help Of the United States
for the prevention of further bloodshed
and the establishment of a government
by ballot instead of government by bull
let. ~
These overtures were declined by the
Huerta council. With Latin-American
%effrontry, General Huerta demands, in
stead. unconditional recognition Of his
government.
In such a state Mexico must be left
to stew in it's W grease. The pos
sible complication which threatens
most trouble-a factor which may
prove more potent than the anxious
concern of the American government
for the welfare of her neighbor ma
tion-is that injury ma be wrought
upon the property and h person of
American citizens in Mexico.
On this point the president Is both
sensible and clear. Let the Americans
now resident in Mexico come away.
Over such as cannot escape, this gov
eminent will maintain the most care
full watch. For injury to Americans. of
whatever character, full reparation will
be exacted.
Plainly, this course involves a degree
of risk for American investments and
American agents. Is it tt be weighed,
however. against the certain loss Of
property and life, perhaps a thousand
fold greater, which must follow inter-
v%ention?
Neither the money nor the men were
required to go to Mexico. The char
acter of Mexican agencies of law was
well known In advance. Indeed. it lie
not too much to say that every dollar
of foreign money, whether American
or otherwise, invested in Mexico was

The same dangerous interest exists

There have been instances Of gross

Of laboring men who make zip this
body deplore such instances far more
than do those outside the ~organiZa-

be responsible for the work of radicals
and in fact, the uncovering Of n gross
wrong by some branch of the body,
or under the name of organized labor,
usually results in purging the ranks
of this element.
Organized labor Is a mighty force,
and in the years to come it will be
mightier. Those who compose the
ranks, it should be remembered. are
a class that is not surpassed on the
globe, in skill, thrift and intelligence,
Because of these inherent virtues
organized labor on the whole, will
always be fair, and will gain for itself
a reorganization of this fact from all

A Sign of Prosperity,

Baltimore News: A test was made
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. of
the movement of traffic in the first
eighteen days Of August by causing a
count to be taken Of the number of
cars passing certain important points
on the road between New York and
Pittsburgh.
1t "a found that the car movement
was more than 6 per CEN greater
than for the corresponding period OF
last year. And in 1912 freight traffic
was unusually large.
When there is so much business to
move, and it Is kept moving, there is
encouragement for everybody to be
lieve that prosperity is maintaining
the pace which 1t set for itself despite
tariff legislation, the currency bill and
everything else.
