the wealthy persons living near him

held forth so long, and his eviction was
brought about by the last man whom
he had rcvled. Mayor George w
Elliott, Of ScabriGht.
Allgor, who was in the midst OF a
colony of wealthy persons, got the idea
that he was losing business because his
neighbors would not allow their serv-
ants to patronizc his place. He built
spite fence and ornamented it with
painted abuse of men and women OF
standing. He was put in Jail twice be
cause of his attacks. His property was
worth about $4,000. but it was sold off
in parcels.
His most recent attacks were upon
Mayor Elliott. The mayor bought in
the last of the Allgor property and
served notice that he would allow the
family to remain through the winter.
The family separated, and Yesterday.
while Allgor was in New York, the
mayor had all his belongings removed

WHAT THE WOMEN NEED

A year and a half ago the De-
partment of Agriculture addressed to
over $4,000 farm women a question
naire designed to develop their init
mate ideas as to what was wrong
with farm life, and how it could be
improved. To this inquiry a large
number of replies were received, the
study and tabulation of which seems
to indicate that the most serious
trouble with the farm woman is that
she doesn't know that she has any
serious trouble, or else she sees
nothing much except her troubles
The suggestions which arc advanced
for improving the condition of farm
women are on the whole sane and
simple; and it does seem as if some,
thing practicable could be worked
out of them.

Objection to the dust nuisanse on

the District Commissioners to use
posal for dust prevention in arrans-
ing frequent sprinklinS of this street.
Cooperation of the association in
plans OF the Federation of Citizens
Associations to relieve the tangled
boundary lines of various citizens
bodies was pledged. A request will
be made for a map showing such

the farm woman will have time and
interest for some other things; she
will read more, indulge more social
opportunity, get some benefit from
the good roads; maybe she will even
in time become a member of a WON
ans club.
Some man with "a lot more money
than he knows how to manage, could
do a vastly better work with it than
by building libraries. Let somebody
endow some such enterprise as this of
giving waterworks to farm homes.
The thing can be done for about $10O
per establishment, on the simplest
lines. Just let the philanthropy Of
fer to pay half the cost for say ten
homes in a county, scattered
throughout the rural South; the
farmer to pay the other half; let it
be specified that these sample plants
should be scattered about so that the
neighborhoods would learn about
them and the other women decide
that they needed the same thing.
There is a practical philanthropy at
which town folks may smile; but
people who know something about
the real, brass-nails, hard pan prob
lem of doing something for the coun-
try, know that there's millions in it.
