WHEN COUNTRY

Personal Interest In Town Affairs
Gives Advantage Over City Sisters.
(From the New York Post.)


(From the New York Post)
Equal suffrage is of as much Importance
to the country woman as to the city wom-

tleman The country woman, it adds, has
a splendid opportunity for work. II, or
when, she has the vote. THE larm wom-

in permanent homestead. apart from the
din of battle, has the chance to cultivate
the sanity that will be the saving salt In
our complicated situation" it holds.
There are many reasons why, as this
article says, "the farm woman has GER

ter In the first place, women in the
country are apt to be good women and
they are apt to be women who have lived
there all their lives. know conditions well,
and have a personal interest in what is
going on about them. Much farm land
is owned outright by women, and the
wife Of every farmer has some share in
her husbands lands, so that the country
woman is apt to have a large share in
the taXpaying. and she will naturally take
ney goes.

This has actually been proved in coun-
try districts where women voters have
changed the personnel of school boards,
erected new and substantial school build
incs in the place of the old ones, and
raised the salary of the one or two teach
ers to the point where there may be ex-
pected some sort of good and permanent
teaching.
"A country woman, from her long resi-
dence In one place and from the fact that
the population of country side is rather
immoblle, knows the county officers and
something about them as men. She takes
more personal interest in the affairs OF
her town than a city woman can She

the Atlantic Deep Water Ways associa-

Representative Greene in this undertaking

claim that a man named Mercy was

to be Mt the bottom OF Fairlee pond.
Some men, who are regarded as eau

Morey was ahead OF Fulton. Stranger
things have happened. Remember that

II has been said that THE wealth OF
nation lies in it's men and women. a
nation depends for its men and women
upon its children, and the kind of men
ana women the children become, depends
largely upon the homes in which the
children are reared.
There are, In the world, very many
well-born children, who, by some means,
are left homeless. Unless someone takes
particular interest in these, they VIII be
denied the care and training which are
their due.
The l. and I, Mott Home was design
cd by its founder to meet the needs OF
lust such children, and this institution
differs from other similar ones In that
1t is not merely an institution, but
real home where the children are cared
for and treated as individuals.
There are at present nine inmates, six
boys and three girls. They are an inter
estins group of chldren-self-contr
self-reliant and well behaved.
This home has done, and is doing, much
good More good could be done If the
present needs could be met, and the OPP
portunities for good that present them
selves could he taken advantage of. But
the income from Mrs. Motifs beduest is
insufficient to do more than is now be-
/ ing done. If someone, benevolently dis
posed, would add to that bequest, the
present scope and usefulness of the nome
could be much increased.
The services of Mr. and Mrs. f. B.
| Hardy as matron and farm manager
have been secured for ancthe:- year.
The fine dairy of 40 cows with the
neat and tidy surroundings, which Mr.
Hardy always keeps in order, also the
camping sights which are now occupied
are giving general satisfaction to those
who use them, and everything bids fail
for another prosperous year for the Mot
Home.
