and guide the pillow. What is to be
come of that nation where poverty
breaks the crowns OF the queens Of
the home; despair hurls a mothers
love from its throne and hunger drives
innocent children from the schoolroom
to the hoeg
The census bureau shows that 1885,
600 of these women are forty-fYe
years OF age and over. There is no
more pitiful sight in civilization than
these sanity mothers Of Israel stopped
with age, drudging 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. Civilization
strikes them a blow when it should
give them a crown, and their only
friend is he who broke bread with
beggars and said: Come unto me all
We 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 humSn rights and the de-
fender of the oppressed-shaIl we per-
NIT our maidens fair to be torn from
the hearthstone by the ruthless hand
Of destiny and chained to the pillow?
Shall we permit our faithful wives,
whom we covenanted with God to cher
ish and protect, to be hurled from the
home to the harvest 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
women can be taken from the field or
given a reasonable wage for her serv-
ices. Perhaps the issue has never been
fairly raised, but the Farmers Union,
with a membership of ten million, puts
its organized forces ~squarely behind
the issue and we now enter upon the
docket Of civilization the case of "The
Woman in the Field" and demand an
immediate trial.

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to
Their Needs,

Attention of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee Of railroad execu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five Of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
iculties now confronting the railroads
Of the country and asking for the CO.
operation Of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the ~dislocation
Of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
Of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum Is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
con1agration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tlves say in part: by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting Independently of each other, as
well as through the action of a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made Of the gen.
eral theory of governmental regula-
ton, but On the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers Of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement Of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con
tinuing, said in part:
"You ask me to call the attention
Of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible Of governmental agencies, and
I am glad to do so because / think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world OF
effort in which everyone may cooper,
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul
ings Of commissions and financing
railroads Is one of them. The mar
with the money is a factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter
ested party that should always be con
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate In the solu
ton Of u railroad problems.

TESTS AL CORN.

H. I. Harter. superintendent Of Hen.
nepin county (Minn.) schools. has
started a competitive plan whereby
four thousand farmers are to select
seed and properly cultivate twenty.
i've acres of corn with view Of rails.
ing the county average ten bushels.
HIS circular states that this would In.
crease the county corn yield 1.000, 900
bushels, which ct SOC bushel, would
lie gain Of $4,000 to the farmers
of the county.
He has made arrangements with
tie Northwestern National bank to
furnish the grain exchange rag dolls.
which have been sent to all the
schools in his county. He is also dis.
titbuting government bulletins to the
schools.
He has asked the teachers to take
up the subject Of termination; and
while waiting for termination to take
place. to ask the pupils to find out
how far apart the rows Of corn are
planted, the distance between each
hill, the number Of stalks and ears to
tie hill, hills to the acre, average
weight per ear, number Of bushels to
the acre, market value. cost Of prep.

a MODERN NECESSITY

The value OF advertising is felt
at three ends-the merchant. the
consumer. and the publisher.
Through the medium of his ad-
vertisements, the merchant &C
duaints the consumer with the
wares he has for sale. with their
value and attractive features. and
is himself constantly in touch
with the consumer.
The consumer reads of the
goods, he wants. learns where to
find them and saves the
time of fruitless hunting from
rlace to place.
The publisher is the go-be-
tween. the medium of commune
cation between the buyer and the
seller, a sort of public conven-
fence. Strange as it may seem,
he. too, has his uses.
Advertising accomplishes more
good and better results for all
people than any other feature in
commercial life.
1t is a modern necessity, made
so by the constantly increasing
demands Of a discriminating pub
lie.

HOW the WAR AFFECTS US

There appears to be a wide diff
ference of opinion as to the. meas
ure OF material benefit or loss the
United States will sustain by rea-
son OF the war in. Europe. The
London "Statist" takes very rosy
view of the prospect from the Am
erican standpoint and declares:
''The United States can become. as
it has this week, the worlds great
est market for capital, and if the
American people rise to their op-
portunity they can do a great deal
to mitigate the disastrous eco
nomic consequences which would
otherwise result in many coun-
tries from great European war.
On the other hand Henry Clews,
the New York banker. says. 1.-The
effect of the war upon the United
States will be highly injurious" A
rise in the cost Of food products
is one of the evils he states. He
admits. however, that probably
some industries would benefit by
the demand for war material and
be better demand for our manu-
features of steel. textiles. ETC.. to
meet the vacancy caused by the
loss of foreign trade which Ger
many and other European ma
tions would inevitably incur"
But this. in his opinion. is ov-
erbalanced by the fact that 1.-THE
worlds money markets would be
violently deranged, and our own
would ultimately feel the strain.
Higher interest rates would sure
ly follow the wholesale destruc-
ton of capital. and much of the
re- financing of the future which
has got to be met. would face SER
ious obstacles. Our foreign trade
will be demoralized."
Whether Mr.. Clews or the Lon
don Statist are right or wrong, ev-.
cry right thinking American
would thousand times rather
forego any material profit than
witness, even at this safe distance.
the awful destruction and barbar-
ism of an international European
conflict. But the die being cast.
we must, in the words of our high
minded and patriotic President.
''all at the present time act to-
gether as Americans in seeing that
America does not suffer from,
what is going on in the world at
at large. Our own position is
sound. and we owe it to mankind
to remain in such conditiSn and
in such a state of mind that we.
can help the rest of the world"
