ton hold the calloused hand and soothe the feverish brow ,of her sex who sows and reaps the na- tion's harvest or will she permit the male of the species to shove women-weak and weary-from the bread-line of industry to the back alleys of poverty?
 Women and Children First. The census enumerators tell us that of the l,5l4,OOO women who work in the fields as farm hands 4O9,OOO are sixteen years of age and under. What is the final des- tiny of a nation whose future mothers spend their girlhood days behind the blow, pitching hay and hauling manure, and what is to become of womanly culture and refinement that grace the home, charm society and en- thuse man to leap to glory in noble achievements ii our daugh- ters are raised in the society of the OK and the companionship of the blow?
 In that strata between the ages of sixteen and forty-five are 95O,- GOO women working as farm hands and many of them with s@1ckling babes tugging at their breast, as drenched in perspira- tion, they wield the scythe and guide the blow. What is to be- come of that nation where pover- ty breaks the crowns of the queens of the home; despair hurls a mothers love from its throne and hunger drives inno- cent children from the school room to the hoe? -
 The census bureau shows that l55, 900 of these women are forty five years of age and over. There is no more pitiful sight in civili- zation than these saintly mothers of Israel stopped with age, drudg- ing in the field from sun until sun and at night drenching their dingy pillows with the tears of despair as, their aching hearts take it all to God in prayer. Civ ilization strikes them a blow when it should give them a crown, and their only friend is He who broke bread with beg gars and said: Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden and l will give you rest"
 Oh, America! the land of the free and the home of the brave; the worlds custodian of chivalry, the champion of human rights and the defender of the oppressed shall we permit our maidens fair to be torn from the hearth stone by the ruthless hand of, destiny and chained to the blow :? Shall we permit our faithful wives, whom we covenanted with God to cherish and protect, to be hurled from the home to the har- vest field, and our mothers dear to be driven from the old arm chair to the cotton patch?
 In rescuing our citizens from the forces of civilization, can we not apply to our fair Dixieland the rule of the sea-"women and children frst?'
 There must be a readjustment of the wage scale of industry so that the woman can be taken from the field or given a reason able wage for her services. Per haps the issue has never been fairy raised, but the Farmers Union, with membership of ten million, puts its organized forces squarely behind the issue and we now enter upon the docket of civ ilization the case of "The Woman in the Field" and demand an inn mediate trial.

Over-production and crop mortgage force the farmers into ruinous competition with each other. The remedy lies in or ganization and in cooperation in marketing.

The growing of legumes will retard soil depletion and greatly add to it's power to produce.

The soil is like mans bank account. It can soon be exhaust ed by withdrawing and never de- posting.

placed in Dewey Bay and the third In
Colladay's Bay, thus distributing the
fry over large areas.
Although of but very short duration,
Thursday afternoons blow was more
of storm than most people had any
idea of. In some isolated instances, in
fact, in went last weeks disastrous
hurricane one better. Guy Siggelko's
silo was toppled over Thursday after

farm in Dunkirk which had been put
back on its foundation from which it
was dislodged ten days ago, was Thurs
day pushed still farther off from its

Thursday blown off and tossed over the
nearby barn. Part of tobacco shed

owned by 0. H. Holtan, was wrecked,
and a section of the roof of Nels
Aaberg's barn, west of town, was
blown off Thursday afternoon. Gilbert

just succeeded in getting his tobacco

thought, had it securely braced, when
along came Thursdays gale and moved
it twice as far as the first storm, but
in quite different direction, For Ed
Espelie, on the old Oftelie place, Thurs
days wind also wrecked shed. In
four of these cases mentioned the in
surance adjusters had just settled for
the damage done to the buildings by
last weeks storm. Let us hope that
this locality has had all of the wind
storms that are coming to it this sea-

few years.
