WHAT ARE WOMEN'S PRIVILEGES

+, ease and pain that can afflict a man
and then throwing in q few special
lailmentS of her own, and cursing her
with a nervous system keyed up to the
nth power When you wish for a
strong, healthy body you never wish
to be a woman.
In only few States does the law
give woman the privilege of making
will and disposing of property that
she may have inherited from her
father or accumulated herself. In
Texas and Louisiana a husband has
the right to collect his wife's wages If
she works outside of the home, and in
only twelve or thirteen States does the
law give mother the privilege OF
being equal guardian with her hus-
Dand to the child she brought into
the world
! Certainly in the eyes of the law. it is
no privilege to be woman.
Society gives woman no privi-
leges. The world draws its skirts
aside from. the woman who sins, and
asks her partner in guilt to dinner. A
man may be known to be q profiigate
and to have dark and urid past, and
ne may marry the sweetest and purest
girl in the community and be received
with open arms by society, but let a
woman so much as soil the hem of her
petticoat, and she is pushed down into
the m1re. If you stumble on the
straight and narrow road your petit
coats are no protection to you.
Business offers no privileges to the
woman. 1t beats her down to the last
cent that her poverty makes her work
for, and 1t wrings every ounce of labor
out of her that 1t can get

But it's in the home, my corre-
spondent will say, that a woman's
prlVlhges are so great. She can stay
at nome, safe and sheltered, while
the man goes out into the world to
struggle Tor her support. Perhaps the
very Tich woman has more privileges

THE DISSATISFIED HEN

One of the great drawbacks to nat
ural incubation is the breaking oil eggs
by the hens. Such losses should De
charged to the poultryheeper and moi
to the hens, for the fact is that while
the hen knows best as TO what the
details of nest arrangement should be,
she is often forced to accept conditions
not in accord with her own way OF do
ing things. Left to her own devices, a
hen will lay her eggs for Matching in a
low nest on the ground, whereas her
short-sighted owner will force her to
sit three weeks in box the greatest
dimension of which is it's height. If
it is to be store box, pick the right
size.

my life, but I've never seen one or
enjoyed one, and I'm dying of curl
osity to know of what these legendary
emoluments consist.
Oh, I know that you are going to
say that women and children go first
into the lifeboats when there Is a
wreck at sea. At least they sometimes
do, for If you mention the Titanic I
will counter with La Bourgogne where
the men cut off the hands of the
women who caught on to the sides of
the lifeboats, thereby endangering
those already in.
However, let's console the life raft
as scoring one for the skirts. 1t really
doesn't matter. Few women ever go
to sea at all, and disasters at sea are
SO very rare that the privilege of being
rescued in a shipwreck doesn't cut any
Ice with the vast majority of the SEX
If that privilege was taken away from
us entirely we would never know it.
In all sober earnestness, brothers.

woman?

the contrary, she handicaps her by

MAKE GOOD BEGINNING
IN LAYING CONTEST
81 Eggs More Product This Week
Than Last at Storrs,
Conn.

The hens at the international Egg
Laying Contest at Storrs, Conn, made
an auspicious beginning of the second
half year. They produced 81 eggs more
than last week or total of 3.55S eggs,
thus bringing the grand total to date
well above $4,000 eggs. This gain at
this particular time was somewhat un-
expected in that all the heavier breeds
are becoming more and more broody
and on account of the further fact that
during this past week the hens were
turned out into the grass runways.

BREEDING THE WAY

The day chick leaves the shell it
is endowed with all the yolks, or ova,
or eggs, that it can ever lay, and
several thousand more. Nearly every
chicks body possesses several thou
sand of these tiny yolks and it is pos
sible to count as many as several thou
sand in practically every pullet. Nc
amount of feeding, no system of hous-
ing. no method of care and manage
ment, however good it may be, will
add one more yolk to the number al
ready provided by nature. The meth

COLD WEATHER MARS MATCHES

Since the first of March there has
been great complaint about the poor
Matching of eggs. A delayed hard win
ter has been the cause of the trouble
and delayed, wet Spring has been
the cause of slow improvement There
were many frozen combs and the vi
tality of breeding stock was greatly
impaired, yet. with all this, some
breeders have made the mistake of
forcing breeding pens for high egg
records. The combination was too
much and the result has been many
very poor matches.

IMPORTING EGGS FROM CHINA

This Spring the egg markets have
been more or less disturbed by reason
of imports, including considerable
numbers from China. Consumers do
not take any too kindly to these i'm
ported eggs and the effect SO far has
been largely sentimental in character.
Prices have been no lower than in
other years, but dealers who generally
store heavily at this time of the year
are apprehensive, showing great eau

about In the face of fight TO con.
tInually delay action. but, under
President Wilson'S courageous lead
ership, the Democratic party has
effectively demonstrated It's capacity
to serve the people.
In signing the currency bin, Presi-
dent Wilson said, ! have always
felt when the Democratic party was
criticised as not knowing how to
serve the business interests of the
country that there was no use in
replying to that in words. The only
satisfactory answer was in action.
We have written the first chapter Of
that reply?
President Wilson has sounded
the Keynote of continued Demo
cratic success ACTION. He terms
the currency bill as the first of a
series Of constructive measures by
which the Democratic party will
show that it knows how TO serve
the country.
President Wilson's incentive for
action lies In the fact that the time
is now ripe for the enactment of
measures so long demanded by the
people. He believes that the Demo-
cratic party is the most effective in
strument for bringing about those
needed reforms. He realizes that
the time for action is NOW. He
realizes that the Democratic party
is on trigH, and that the most effec-
tive answer to criticism is the get
ting of RESULTS, while the oppor-
tunity for action is at hand. Let
there he no hault in the work.
Right now is the most critical
period in the history of the Demo
cratic party. To continue it's good
work the Democratic party must
have good working majority in
the next Congress. There will be

The way to indorse President
Wilson's great work is to make the

The history OF our politics shows
that the control Of the lower house
is easily shifted, and that only
