The first bank in America, located

years after the first newspaper was
printed in Boston. The new bank car
ried on business and issued $400, 1000 in
scrip on the basis now sought by Ger.
tain financial promoters ard leaders. It
was scrip and nothing but scrip, and
consequently the bank was short-lived.
In 1742 land bank was founded by
several hundred subscribers who gath

relieve the scarcity of specie by is.
suing scrip based on real estate hold.

by nearly every colony as it would be

idly deprecated in value, owing to the

HER RIGHTS IN THE HOME
Woman Contends That Wife's Services
Are Worth More Than Food and
Ralment-Her Remedy.

Is a 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 servant would do,
and a great deal more, works more
hours 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 have to ask for
money to buy postage stamps.
/ think woman should have abso-
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. She
should have enough of an allowance to
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 ex.
penditures, in Farm and Fireside.
