Making Candle Shades.
BY HELEN HOWE.

This is the time of year when wom-
en- generally are especially interested
in needlework. Colder weather keeps
them in the home longer, consequently
there is more spare time. Besides,
Christmas is not SO far away. SO If
gifts are to be of ones own handiw ork,
il is not one bit too early to begin
planning for them, and in view of the
conditions at home and the demands
for so many charities abroad, undoubt-
elly many women will have less to
spend this year on gifts than formerly.
But if they are willing to be indus
trious. there is no reason why the me-
mentos may not be as pretty and dainty
as ever.
In fact, the initial cost of really hand
some presents may be almost nil. A
raid on the millinery box or bottom
drawer will reveal a wealth of treasure

After the brooder, before the laying
house, what then? The colony house
Is the answer. Chicks are generally
ready to leave the brooder at about six
weeks of age-that is, when fully
feathered. They are then able to take
care of themselves during the day
time, and, except on cold, rainy days,
the question OF artificial heat is not
vital
There are several types of colony
houses, but all should have the follow
ing features: Perfectly dry, freedom
from drafts, well ventilated, easy to
clean and move (this latter should be
done every season., and, lastly, they
should be attractive, but inexpensive.
Don't crowd the chicks in the colony
house. Remember, they will be al
most grown before they are moved
again. Have perches removable, and
do not allow the chicks to roost until
their bones have hardened up consid-
erably, or they may have crooked
breast bones. When roosts are given,
have them at least two inches wide.
For small fiocks suitable colony
houses may be made from large store
boxes by covering the top and three
sides with tar paper, the other side
being made of cellar window wire ex-

relief? Will the Goddess of Liberty
enthroned at Washington hold the cal
loused hand and soothe the feverish
brow of her sex who sows and reaps
the nations 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 al
legs of poverty?
Women and Children First.
The census enumerators tell us that
of the ], 514 900 women who work in the
fields as farm hands 100000 are six
teen years of age and under. What Is
the final destiny of a nation whose fu-
ture mothers spend their girlhood days
behind the pillow, pitching hay and
hauling manure, and what is to become
of womanly culture and refinement
that grace the home, charm society
and enthuse man to leap to glory in
noble achievements If our daughters
are raised in the society of the OK and
the companionship of the plow?
In that strata between the ages Of
sixteen and forty-five are 100000 wom-
en- working as farm hands and many
of them with sucking babes tug
ging at their breasts, as drenched
In Precipitation, they WELD the scythe
and guide the plow. What is to be-
come of that nation where poverty
breaks the crowns of the queens OF
the home; despair hurls mothers
love from its throne and hunger drives
innocent children from the schoolroom
to the noe?
The census bureau shows that 1885,
900 of these women are forty-five
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 1t 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
1 will give you rest"
Oh, Americai The land Of the free
and the home of the brave, the
worlds custodian of chivalry, the
champion of human rights and the de-
fender of the oppressed-shall we per-
nit our maidens fair to be torn from
he hearthstone by the ruthless hand
If destiny and chained to the plow?
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 hrst?"
There must be a readjustment or
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 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

admitting sunshine and fresh air.
The "a" shaped colony house is
not so easily cleaned as some of the
others.
Most colony houses average about
by feet in size, with shed roof and
a large wire covered window with cur
tain in front. This type should be
built on skids, so that they can be
easily dragged to new ground with the
aid of a horse, and, if tightly built,
houses of this sort can be used for lay
ers and also breeders in the winter by
the addition of nests, hoppers, etc.
A word about placing the house.
Choose well drained ground that is
covered with a heavy, sweet sod. An
old orchard is almost ideal, as the
trees furpish shade during the hot
summer days. Clean away any brush
piles or thickets which might harbor
vermin, and if the same ground must
be used year after year lime it, pillow
it down each fall and SOW with some
suitable crop which will afford green
pasture for the growing birds.

REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE DAY
Puritans of England Made Christmas
illegal and Declared 1t a Mis-
demeanor to Be Gay.

English Puritans Of the seventeenth
century guarded against looking upon
the rosy side of life.
Because Christmas is really a sur
vival of the Celts' Yule, and is not
the actual anniversary of the birth Of
Christ, they refused to countenance
Christmas festivities. Not only did
they refuse to recognize the day, but
they made laws to that effect.
The parliament of 1914 passed an
act ordering all law abiding citizens
to observe December % as a solemn
fast, to be spent in silent atonement
for previous Christmas days that had
passed in riotous living and merry
making.
Naturally the community did not
share in these hard and fast rules,
and many a turkey was surreptitious-
ly killed, and many a plum pudding
quietly boiled. But woe betide the
unfortunate offender against the act
were he luckless enough to be dis
covered.
Soldiers were sent to search the
houses Of those suspected of harbor-
ing such delicacies as mince pies,
ETC., and many were the pitched bat
ties between disagreeing sections of
the public.

UNDER THE MISTLET0E

To ask a girl if you may kiss her
before doing it is an insulting way
Of laying all the responsibility on
her.
In a mans opinion kiss is an end
that justifies any means.
You needn't be afraid of a mere
kiss. Thousands are exchanged daily
by people of the highest reputation.
The kissed girl fears no mistletoe
A kiss is as good as a smile land
a good deal better, tool
The ideal kiss is the kiss that is
never given.
A kiss too soon may be a full stop
In the tale Of love.

USURIoUs PROFIT.

OSS htOOS ThOEils
In 1850 the proportion of the
annual wealth created in the
country by the joint efforts of
labor and capital was one-fourth
to labor and three-fourths to
capital. Sixty years later the
proportion had changed to less
than one-fifth to labor and more
than four-fifths to capital. This
disproportion, to my mind, has
much to do with our present dis
content.
