HER RIGHTS IN THE HOME
Woman Contends That Wise's Services
Are Worth More Than Food ard
Raiment-Her Remedy

Is woman's life worth only her
food and clothing? In every position
on earth. except that Of wife, a per
son is entitled to wages. A wife gen.
orally does all that a servant would do,
and a great deal more, works more
hours a day than a man and goes
through ordeals that are almost beyond
human endurance, yet many wives do
endure this for half century with
only enough to eat and keep them
warm, never having an extra dollar to
spend They even hsee to ask for
money to buy postage stamps.
l think woman should have ahso-
lutte control OF all household affairs.
She should watch corners and know
how to deal wisely. She should be al
lowed to manage her house in what
ever way seems best to her. Shel
should have enough Of an allowance 20
cover necessary expenses, and spe-
cial allowance for her individual needs
and should never have to ask for it

woman on the subject Of wife's az
penditures, in Farm and Fireside.

WHITE SERVANTS GOOD WORK
Did Much Toward Building UP the
South in the Days Before the
Revolution.

Socially the white servant was ah
important factor in helping to build up
a landed aristocracy in the south, De
cause he made possible the cultivation
of extensive areas of land, declares
writer in Harpers Magazine. But IN
the course of a few years he became
a free citizen and owner OF smaii
estate. Thus was developed yeoman
class. a much needed democratic eie-
ment in the southern colonies, while
at the same time settlers were secured
for the black lands. where they were
needed to protect the frontier. Never
theless, they did not form a distinct
class after becoming freedmen, some
were doubtless the progenitors Of the
poor white trash" Of the south, but u
is likely that environment rather than
birth was the main factor in producing
this class While comparatively rev
rose to prominence. yet there are some
notable examples to the contrary. TWO
signers of the Declaration OF lnde~
pendence, George Taylor and Mathew
Thornton; Charles Thompson, the Sec
Rotary of the continental congress. and
General Sullivan of revolutionary war
fame, had all been white servants. 1t
is certain also that many became sue
cessful planters, and perhaps the ma
jority respectable and desirable citi-
Zens.

MADE UP OF LITTLE THINGS
Small Events Count for Much More in
Lite Than Those We Consider
Of Importance.

We love little things, We hate little
things, we fear little things; our lives
are knit up with little things from the
time we are born to the day we die.
Big things draw us up to Heaven or
crush us down to hell. Little things
live beside us on the earth, eat and
sleep with US, laugh and grumble with
us, catch the early train with US, or
make us miss 1t, irrftate and appease
us--never leave us alone for min
ute.
That is why they are so much more
important than the big things-the
things that only come once in way,
at long intervals, and even then are
nearly always the result of a hundred
and one little things combined
To be crushed by large mfsadven-
ture is natural, but to fall victim to
a series of petty misfortunes is hu-
initiating There are many who would
prefer to break their necks once and
for all by falling off a mountain, than
to bruise their whole bodies and dis
locate their tempers by the daily
stumbling over a moIe-hffl. 1t Is the
little things that count-the satisfac-
ton of climbing Mount Olympus is a
poor sort of attainment IL the scores,
and scores of pleasant details which
wait upon success be absent.-From

EiiQht of Fiiea.

That the fly is peripatasic anal
what the politicians call a good nIxerf
is we'll known. The linear extent of
his peregrinations is. however, still a
matter OF dispute. And as he, certainly
carries with him and distributes infec-
ton. whenever there is any to be had,
the more or less exact determination
OF his maximum range Is of great prac.
tical importance. At one time he was
thought to be very much of a home
body" never wandering more than a
few hundred or a thousand feet from
MA birthplace. Then Observable
made in England and elsewhere threw
doubt upon this conclusion. and it was
hnally proved that ne may travel at
least mile from home.
Now comes along Prof C. f. Hodge
with 500 per cent. extension of the
record, and the opinion that flies are
able to travel much farther than is

Saying Came True.

The discovery that Scottish bank
notes have actually been forged with
in the walls of Peterhesd convict
prison recalls an amusing incident
Unlike the notes of the Bank Of
England (Which ara destroyed as soon
as they find their way back to the.
bank). notes on Scottish banks are put
in circulation again and again. The
result is that some Of these notes get
very dirty, the one-pound notes get
ting particularly grubby and wprn
in the course Of their travels.
An English barrfster who was once
given a sheaf of these notes in pay
ment of large amount, regarded
them with horror for few seconds,
holding them delicatefy between his
thumb and finger.
Now" he said, holding them at
arms length, now / understand the
meaning of that saying about '-ilthy

at next Tuesdays primary, according
to statement issued today by Chair
man A. L. Nichols and Secretary

Having received numerous inquir-

that there was no provision made for

OUR WORK FOR 1911.

In another column of the Log Cabin
Democrat today appears brief sum-
mary of the accomplishments of 1918,
to which citizens of Conway can point
with pardonable pride. While the city
has been on no boom, the achievements
are really remarkable and the year,
taken all in all, is probably the best
in our history. Besides the material
improvements in Conway, 1913 has
been a prosperous year for the entire
country. The cotton crop is the larg-
est ever produced and the price re-
ceived for it has been at least an av-
erage. Farmers, laborers, merchants
and professional men as a whole are
doubtless in better financial condition
than ever before in the history of
Faulkner county.
With these conditions there is no
reason why we should not set to work
at the beginning of the New Year
to secure our most urgent material
need, which everyone will concede is
improved highways. The place to
make the start is in Conway, where
the need is the greatest and where the
work can be performed with least
burden to the people. If the end of
1914 shall find permanent macadam
streets leading to the city limits to all
the main country roads, it will be
matter of only a short time until the
property Owners and citizens along
these roads will take up the work and
carry the work of making permanent
roads far out into the county.
A citizenship which has attracted
the admiration of the entire state by
its generous contributions to colleges,
schools and churches-which has
successfully overcome apparently in
surmountable difficulties in the install
1ation of various public improve
ments, certainly will not balk at the
comparatively simple and small prop
osition of building few miles of per-
manent streets.

BRING SUIT AGAINST
INSURANCE COMPANY
From Mondays Daily

From Mondays Daily
Suit was filed in the Faulkner
circuit court Saturday by w. H. Gibbs
and J. D. Collier against the Spring
field Fire and Marine Insurance Co.,
seeking to recover $500 principal, 500
penalty and $3.50 attorneys fees on a
policy carried by the plaintiff Gibbs
on a piano and household goods,
valued in the complaint at S1,447.15,
destroyed by fire in Conway in Octo-
Der. The plaintiffs declare that the
defendant has refused to pay the
amount of the policy after proper
demand had been made. The COM
plant states that J. d. Collier is made
a party plaintiff for the reason that
after the loss occurred Gibbs became
indebted to Collier in the sum OF
$500 and the policy was assigned to
him as surety for the Indebtedness.
