NOTHER'S RIGHT HAND
is VICTIM OF INJUSTICE.
Custom Lays Down Hard
Lines for Oldest Girl
of Family.

The daughter who stays at home
and is mothers right hand the
better part of her life will be i'm
mensely interested in something
new. in "unionizing' reported from
Paris.
The daughters OF well-to-do fami-
lies in Paris finishing their educa-
ton in public schools and converts
are coming forward from these In
situations as members of the French
League of Girls who demand one OF
two Thugs:
Either permission to enter bust
ness, or If compelled TO remain at
home and engage in the ordinary
duties of the household, the wages
OF a superior servant paid by par
ents or relatives.
The French girl has awakened to
the fact that she must emancipate
herself from her present condition
of dependence and must strike out
for herself.
Accordingly number OF girls be-
longing to first-class families have
taken positions with other families
as housekeepers and are making
good.
"If we had stayed at home We
would never have received wages,
they say.
The surprising feature of this
move to secure rights where rights
have been the longest denied is that
it originated in France instead OF IN
this country, where girls are less
under parental control. In the old
err countries a girl is expected to
stay at home and do her share OF
the worlds work in her mother s
kitchen until some man comes along
and removes her to kitchen or her
own; and If no man comes along,
and she outliyes her parents, she be-
comes a heritage, often unwelcome,
in the homes of her married brothers
and sisters, a dependent without
dependents wages and perquisites.
This is the condition of almost all
girls in the upper and middle classes
abroad it is the condition in this
country of only one girl in the fam
ly; the girl who is her mothers
right hand.

The Fitness of
Woman to Vote

THE GREAT BATTLES woman has
fought and won have won her no
fame for the reason that since time
began she has done her hardest fight
ing in convincing her husband that
every defeat isn't a Waterloo.
She has done her fighting in obscur-
ity and reaped the rewards in retire
ment, and the rewards have been only
so much of the glory as her husband
was willing to reflect on her.
He gets up the street parades Of
life, and they are always late; she
gets up three parades q day, his meals,
and it rarely happens they are not on
time.
He talks of her unfitness for the
right to step into a booth and de-
post ballot, but no woman was ever
yet known to blow out the gas, or be
buncoed by a man who wanted to
borrow money to pay freight bill
If she has roll of money with her,
does she flash it when she wants to
buy a cake of chewing gum?
Isn't il fact that she is wiser with
money than a man and more TO be
trusted?
Instead. of woman requiring q man
along to protect her, does not the
daily news prove that every man who
goes away from home should have a
woman to serve as guardian, and keep
him from making bigger fool of him-
self than he naturally is?
When his days work is done, and 1t
is never done better than woman
could have done it with his training,
he does nothing when he rests.
When her days work is done, and
he could never do it as well and pa
tiently II trained to it all his life, she
rests while she darns stockings or
sews.
If, in his gallantry, ne gives her the
rocking chair the privilege OF holding
the baby goes with it.
II, outside the home, she knows any
rewards he demands the power Of
limitation.
He credits her with the sense OF
judgement needed to raise his chill
dren, and doesn't think she has the
sense and judgement to vote as sanely
as an imbecile man.
OF all created beings a woman has
most deeply at heart the welfare of
the next generation; of all created
beings she would lead in eliminating
SELF in making out her ballot, yet
man, whose conditions her ballot
would be steadfastly cast to improve,
denies her the privilege.
Man, in public life as at home, is
like child that doesn't know what
is for its own good.

unusual sight was presented to those
living at the head of the lake yes
terday when the air was fairly alive
with ducks and they were seen to
settle on five acre tract of water
that had not frozen over and had
not been so far this season. The
water in this particular part of the
state seems to be very much warm
er than usual. This year hundreds
of ducks are making the lake their
winter quarters, something that was
never known before.

The Automobile Show.

The big motor-car shows, held
about this time in many cities, strike
the passing observer as the final
word in decoration, illumination, and
display of mechanical achievement.
Yet many of the manufacturers of
cars are far from cheerful about
them. At one big recent show, the
gate receipts paid only 40 per cent OF
the cost. The industry stood the
rest.
One reason commonly assigned
among manufacturers for holding
these exhibitions, is that they are
educational. They display to the
public the, ease, beauty, and pleasure
of motoring. They show the econ
omy of the motor truck in business.
Yet there is question if these
shows are not an artificial stimulus,
applied to business that already
tends too far toward personal extra
vagance.
Some of these shows have been an
Aladdin's palace of plate glass mir
rors, painted scenery, and electric
fairyland This fascinating luxury
draws in many people who can not
afford an expensive machine, or
ought not to buy one of any kind.
The extravagant display of wealth
represented In these mechanically
perfect cars, in the gorgeous decor
atoms, creates an atmosphere of free
expenditure. The most parsjmOn,
Gus person feels some loosening CT
his purse strings. The seed of de-
sire is planted. By the next sum-
mer he is behind a steering wheel
while his creditors walk.
Automobiles are wonderful time
saver, and it is for the interest OF
the public to have them produced as
cheaply as possible. IL automobile
shows, as some manufacturers say
not merely cost high in actual time
and money. but disorganize the sales
forces of their plants for weeks and
months, they are tax on the indus
try which the buyer finally pays.
These costly methods of marketing
product suggest that motor cars
will be cheaper still in few years.

Opera Company Pleases.

The Joseph Sneehan Opera Com
pany played to a large and enthusi-
astic audience at the Grand on Fri
day evening. The members of the
company were all possessed of un-
usually strong dramatic powers and
strong voices. The program opened
with the prison scene from III Tro-
vatore," which was we'll received.
One of the favorite songs of the
evening was Then You'll Remem-
Der Me-" from the Bohemian Girl, y
rendered by Mr.. Sheehan in most
acceptable manner, and which was
repeatedly encored. Il Dreamt
Dwell in Marble Halls" and Bliss
Forever Past, rendered by Antoin-
etc lie Brun were both much enjoy
ed. Lydia Sturtevant, was an es-
pecial favorite and her singing
Home to Our Mountains" in III Tro-
vatore" was received most enthusiast
tically. Harold ]. Gels was another
favorite. He is possessed of an ex-
cellent voice, which showed fine
training. The scene from Martha
with it's tuneful airs was happy
selection. THE Last Rose of sum-
mer," Spinning Wheel Quartet
and the Good Night Quartet
were all highly pleasing. Taken all
in all the company gave excellent
satisfaction, and if enthusiastic ap-
plause speaks for anything the audi
ence thoroughly enjoyed the produc-
ton.

Ok Carts and Farm Sales.

The men who rescued our Iowa
farms from the trackless prairies
moved into this state in OK carts,
for OK carts were the best there was
sixty years ago. Today the men
who own those same farms move
about in six cylinder cars because
the six cylinder motor is the best of
it's time.
The OK cart men used to adver-
tise their farm sales with a plac-
ard tackled to a tree and if anyone
happened to go by the tree in the
day time he read the placard if he
was not too busy. But that was in
the days of few people and fewer
farm sales.
Today the farm auction is the
clearing house for farm property
and farm auction somewhere with
in the reach of the six cylinder car
is going on almost every day. The
placard on the tree which moved
fast enough for people in OK carts
can never keep up with people in
automobiles. Nothing now but the
newspaper which gets to them all
before tomorrow noon can move
fast enough for the farm auctin of
today. Ok cart advertising will
bring OK cart prices. Get into the
newspaper and let everybody know
about your sale. One bidder bid
ding on one horse will net the own
er more than all of his newspaper
advertising will cost.
