WOMEN SAY MAN IS BLESSING

Three thousand women cheered the American men at the greatest bless ing to womankind" in the meeting of the General Federation of Women's s Clubs held at Chicago. The tribute to the nations bread-winners that arous- ed the applause of the delegates was delivered by Mrs. Percy V. Penny packer, president of the federation.
 My Friends Mrs Pennypacker said, q think what a splendid thing it is for us that we have the club husband. Think of the sympathy they have given us in our work. What a wonderful blessing to us is the American man."
 Although dealt a stinging blow in their battle for recognition by the gen. eration, suffrage advocates are still hopeful of ultimate victory. A set back came in the unanimous adoption of the report of the committee on rules, which gives to the committee the same arbitrary powers conferred on it two years ago at San Francisco. Under this rule, debate will not be permitted on any resolution which is offered until it has been referred to committee and then reported to the convention. The suffragists, however, after poll of the committee was hope ful Of favorable action by that body.

THE THREAD TRUST

It is poor plan of business that cannot be worked up into trust these days. and the latest victim of the anti trust act has been the thread trust which has been wound up on the spool by the order of the United States Dis trict Court of New Jersey, where the Department of Justice performed it's executions. It appears that all the big thread companies have entered an ar rangement, through which system of interlockking directorates made it pos sible for them to carry on "a combina- ton to restrain the interstate and for e-Sn trade and commerce of the Unit ed States in demstic and foreign man. ufacturer of seweing thread by SUD- pressing competition between them selves"

 Kermit Roosevelt, who was married in Madrid to Miss Belle Wyatt Will lard, is the second son of former President Roosevelt, and is 9 years old. He is a tall we'll set-up young man and has won honors as an ath- lete. He accompanied his father on the laters African hunt as photo grapher of an expedition and also ac- companied him on his recent trip into the interior of South America.
 In the autumn of 1911 young Roose- welt returned to his studies at Har- yard, which had been interrupted by the African expedition, and was grad uated in June 1912. Later he sailed for Brazil to enter the railroad busi ness. During his residence in Brazil he has made his headquarters at Sac Paulo and it is expected that he will take his bride to that city,
 Kermit Roosevelt has two younger brothers, Archie and Quentin, who are still at college and his elder brother, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., who married Miss Eleanor B. Alexander. His sis ters are Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and Mrs. Richard Derby.

FARMERS DRAWING LINE ON THE
 EXPERTS"

The Agricultural Department has been actively engaged for a number of years in building up personal in 5truction service throughout the en- tire country This is an outgrowth O. what was known in former years as he Farm Institute Plan which was ,arried on in the Middle West under state supervision.
 At the present session of Congress there has been legislation which has passed the House, providing for Az 'icultural extension, and this contem- dates enormous appropriations on the part of the government, to be supple nented by the states themselves which will provide the most minute instruction as to every detail of pro- gressive farming.
 There is no discounting the value of this kind of cooperation on the part of the government and the states, and every move in that direction will meet with encouragement among the agrj- cultural interests of the country. In efficient work upon the part of some instructors has injured the movement and a good many farmers have been complaining to Washington that their time has been wasted by so-caIled ex- Derts having an inadequate idea of the real needs of the farmers. This has in many instances resulted in seeming lack of interest in the farm bureau work

STAFF
ARE YOU YOUR OWN BOSS?

The question has no bearing on labor conditions, or the manner in which one earns his daily bread. No one, strictly speaking, is his own boss under conditions of labor. The one who works for others must take or ders from them; the one who has from the public or his business fails
 The question is asked concerning your friends. Do you walk home a certain way every night because you choose that street, or because a domi- mating friend chooses it for you? Do you spend your evenings in the man her that benefits and pleases you most or do you spend them at the mercy O the dictation of others? Do you stay in and read when you long to read, or do you put down your book witE a sigh and partake of some amuse ment or occupation for which you have little heart, because a friend insists?
 Do you resolve to buy an inexpen sive lunch at some cheap little restau- rant, and spend more at a more or nately furnished place because friend insists that you go there? Does any friend slip an arm in yours and say Let's and with the word do ali your resolutions to do the contrary vanish in thin air? Are you like a Hather which one blows this way, and another blows that way?
 If you are, you are not your own boss, and so long as you remain so weak willed you will never make resolution that will live past the first corner
 Countless millions of girls and boys, and people older grown, never have time to do that which is for their own good because of the e-croacnments of their friends. The might have beens receive hundreds of recruits every day through the waste of time made ir the name of friendship, and those who count their friends by the score pay tax so dear that days, weeks, months and opportunity and life itself are counted in the cost of it.
 It is as if Ambition" said to one: 'I will walk with you all the way and is pushed off the sidewalk in the next block by time and effort monopo- lizing friends. One sets out to accom-. pllsh certain results, and before the work is fairly begun there come many friends, who, neither caring for work nor knowing it's necessity, are looking for some one with whom to play. Like playful puppies, they cannot play alone, and the comparison does not end here, for the puppies are also in capable of clear, unselfish considera- tion or thought.
 It is not good to be too much alone and it is less good to never be alone One should have solitude, and one snould learn to love 1t, and regard it as the most helpful and sympathetic of friends.
 You have a certain task set before you; every one has; that is why we are here. You will never complete your work, and the little you do will be poorly done, if you permit one friend to pull you this way and an other that way. till you become like a puppet in a show, with no thought, or will or purpose of your own.
 Be your own boss. Have a will Of your own. Make your own decisions and know a good reason why, and abide by them.
