FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom Of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be married or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs Of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and guide
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs Of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, SO that the lives of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to
city man is an entertainment; to
farmer it is education. Let us take
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at few of the points
Of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending a congress Of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence OF all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind We can all help others for
o brief period while we live, but it
takes master mind to tower into the
realm Of science and light a torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
lions. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
! Their bright intellects have conquered
| death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
+ money and without price. They have
| shown US how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length.
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
vantions have stood the acid test OF
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth anG
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.

The ST. Johnsbury Merchants asso-
citation reports that during 1914 the
names of 1895 persons were placed
upon the black list of the organization
as unworthy of credit.
Business at the Fairbanks Scale
factory in St. Johnsbury is looking

of January many orders have been
booked.
Because part of the St. Johnsbury
fire alarm system is not ;nsidered
efficient, the Fairbanks circuit, which
includes the Plain and Fairbanks
village, is to be entirely rebuilt. The
system has been frequently disabled
because of too close contact with the
high power electric light wires.

Gloves of Varnish,

Skin varnish completely covering the
hands is used by some surgeons in
stead of rubber gloves during surgical
operations. So cleverly is the varnish
made that it cannot be washed off
with water or any liquid likely to be
met in the course of an operation; nor
can it be scraped off except by scrap
ing off the skin itself, and yet it is
about as pliable as very thin rubber.
The purpose in using it instead of rub
Der gloves is to preserve the sensitive
ness of the touch and make it easier to
handle materials such as catgut The
varnish looks like honey. It is rubbed
on the hands after they have been
washed as thoroughly as possible. and
quickly dries. To remove it the hands
are washed in another chemical solu-
tion..-Saturday Evening Post.
