figures furnished by the board of con-

consideration the fact that there are
many institutions with which they
have nothing to do and which have
suffered quite serious losses by fire

WOMEN ON THE FARM.

1t is an old adage that a woman's
work in the home is never done.
Men have a starting and a quitting
time, but the woman who must per-
form her own domestic labor just
works until she is through or tired
out, and then begins next day where
she left off.
No union fixes her hours; no min
imum wage law regulates her income,
but she shoulders her load usually
without a whimper.
The United States department of
agriculture has made a systematic
study Of the needs of the women on
the farm. 1t is not hard to locate
them. Women on the farm are hard
er worked as a rule that the beasts
of the field.
1T is no new condition which the
federal department has uncovered.
Official cognizance has been taken of
the problems which confront the farm.
er's wife and his daughters, that is
all.
Thousands of women have written
to the department and have suggested
how their lot on the farm might be
bettered. One writes that farmers
should build their homes with more
conveniences about the kitchen.

explanation to admit that with re.
spect to this particular transaction
he appears to have the best of the
argument.
"As to the ambulance chaser bill,
