WOMEN FOR FARM WORK.

2 There is movement on now to in crease the employment of women at farm work, and peculiar thing about it is that women themselves are fos- tering it. Some agricultural authori- ties have gone so far as to say that swomen do the best work Just what Is meant when farm work is discussed has not been made plain, but it must be evident to every one that it can not mean work in the fields, and that seems to be the principal place of ef1a- ployment for the average American farmer.
 Tn foreign countries women work with the men in the fields, but she srouses sympathy as she goes about her duty because it does not seem as if she is fit for that kInd of a life and she seems out of place when en- gagged in it. A great deal of that kind of labor is engaged in this class Of work in our own country, though. 1t is largely among the foreign ele- ment and one does not need to travel far to see it. A visit to the country will reveal them at work in the fields, often freeing them from the stones which abound in all uncultivared land. The work is very laborious and to see women carrying stones Tn pails and pans is not an edifying sight and yet they do it willingly and evidently regard it as legitimate part of their daily routine. The farmers wife as a general thing has long hours and though she will be seldom if ever seen at work in the fields she must indeed be an optimist to find much pleasure in the more or less lone some existence that appears to be her portion. She used to go 10 market behind an old horse and buggy, but many have their autos nowadays and the humdrum existence that was once hers is gradually giving way to the
 more active life that is coming to
 the prosperous agriculturist To the woman who is seeking a place of em- rloyment, however. and finds it on farm will in all probability learn that there is no eight hour day there, and that taken as a whole it is not as pleasant as living in the city, espe-
 cially for young people.

Lay Editor For a Church Paper.
(Brooklyn Standard Union.)

BrOOkIyn Standard Un1On.1
 One{ of the signs of the changing times is to be seen in the fact that for the first time in it's history the Christ ian Advocate, chief organ of the Methodist Episcopal church, and pub lished in New York for nearly cen- tury is to have layman instead of a minister as editor. pr. James Rich ard Joy is about to succeed Rev. pr. George P. Eckman, to whom he has been chief assistant. Dr. Eckman has accepted the pulpit of larger church in Scranton, Pa, whither he has al- ready gone.
 pr. Eckman was the successor of Rev. James M. Buckley, who was edi- tor for no less than thirty-two years being elected eight times in success sion. He is now. at his advanced age contributing "reminiscences to the col umns of his church paper and filling a chair in Drew theological seminary.
 pr. Buckley went to editorial work from a highly successful pastorate in the Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal church here in Brooklyn, then the largest of the denomination, and he was frequently called upon to preach there and in other Brooklyn churches while editor. He succeeded Rev. pr. Charles H. Fowler, who was elected a bishop after four years of editing the Christian Advocate. He in turn had succeeded the venerable Rev pr. Daniel M. Curry, with whom at the meetings of the New York east con- ference, to which they both belonged, he and Dr. Buckley often crossed swords in sparkling debate. To both of them as editors-in-chief Rev. pr. w. H. Du Puy. was a valued assistant. With Dr. Joys eleven years exper- fence he should have no difhculty in maintaining the standard of the publication of which he has been made the head until the general con ference meets next year and therein becoming his own successor

Fifteen Doctors Wanted (Contribllfedz1

The American Board of Commis- sioners for Foreign Missions needs at once fifteen surgeons and physicians for, work in mission fields. Nine are
 wanted for China, four for Turkey, one for Africa and, most urgent of a1l one at once for relief work in Serbia, with station at Monastir. This latter call is in the nature of a *spe- cial'' and may appeal to some doc tor who wants to give two years or so to Humanitarian service. The need is tremendous; the board has |. the money and the location. The sman- must be thoroughIy, first-class as to equipment and devotion.
 For China, six men and three wom- en are, wanted to join hospitals al
 ready srunning which treat from ten
 thousand sto thirty thousand cases a year. The new men and women will be associated with surgeons in charge.
 In four hospitals in Turkey phys si-
 cians-surgeons are wanted in, associa-
 ton with doctors already on the
 ground The American hospitals have increased their influence enor- mously during these months of war and the men on the ground must be re-enforced Tn Durban, Africa, a physician-surgeon is urgently needed. r. The board lays down no sectarian test but does insist on earnest Chris tian conservation on the part of phy- sicians whom it sends out. The can didates should be not over thirty-five years of age. Tn equipment the board requires a degree from dis tinctly frst-class institution and in addition an interneship or it's equiv l alent. Specialization is not demand ed. though special preparation is vel comed. Details as to service may
 be secured from Dr. C. H. Patton, 14 Beacon street. Boston

Courtesy Schools. : (PittsburT Post.

s s<s < 4 The announcement that the Penn sylvania railroad is to conduct "cour- tesy schools" for its employees in a number of cities, including Pittsburg probably will elicit a chorus of "Bravos!" from the public, yet there ss nothing new about the project. Not only. have the railroads constant ly been impressing upon their em- r!oyes the need of being courteous, but in all other lines Of business coming in contact with the public politeness in dealing with customers is insisted upon.
 It would not be a bad idea to estab- fish few courtesy schools for the public. There is much that is coward ly as well as unreasonable in the att lacks some patrons make upon clerks or other employees who are not in a position to reply.t to them in kind Would they talk to them us sharply if tIleywere to meet them under circum- stances where they would not be ham, Gicapped by the fear of losing their positions? And one of the most un- reasonable features of this is that many of such attacks are made by rersons who are employees themselves They fcrget the golden rule. They never think about how thes woul 1 feel if someone were to attack them as stupid or negligent anG rush off to complain to their employers
 Let the courtesy idea take hold of all.

 In view of the sacrifices of the lives of more than 100 of our fellow citi- zens in he destruction of the Lusi- tania, it would be seemly and befittnig to lower the American flag. displayed on so many buildings in honor of the feet, to half-mast for one day at ieast.--New York Times.

 The head of the New York state labor department, Commissioner Lynch, in telling of the work of the department in getting places in .Si worked in shops, says that their ser vice has proved more satisfactory than that given by girls who had worked only as domestics. This reason is that these girls carried their shop raning into the homes, thus increas- ing their efficiency It is a reason g ble explanation. The difficulty has been to persuade such girls to take employment in homes, and no doubt a time of unemployment was their req son for undertaking it. It is to be hoped that there will be no turning back. and if so a new and much need sed source of supply may be opened.- Springfield Republican,
 While the hot season is still some weeks away it is not too early to sound the warning that proper care must be taken to save the babies and reduce infantile mortality by proper feeding and hygiene for the little ones especially during the warm months from the first of June until the latter part of September. Statis- tic show that more children lose their lives during the summer than at any ether time of the year. Experts declare that this mortality may be greatly reduced if the proper precautions are taken. Pure sweet milk is the best article of food for the little ones during the hot weather. It must be sweet or 1t is worse than nothing. Sour or tainted milk is about as good for a baby as a dose af strychnine would be.-Hartford Post.
