BRIDES MUST OBEY.
Woman Justice, Says There Must be
One Boss.

Matte Middaugh, second woman
to be appointed justice of the peace
in Kansas, is going to include the
word 'obey'' in the ceremony when
she officiates at weddings. THE
word obey ought 10 be included
women ought to swear to obey their
husbands" says Miss Middaugh. "In
all marriages there comes a time
when there is disagreement and
either the husband must obey the
wife, or the wife obey the husband.
The husband being NOR active in
general affairs should be obeyed by
the wife at such times.
II do not mean, however, that a
wife should be a slave to her hus-
band. She ought to have equal
rights with him in all things pos
sible. But the promise in a mar
riage ceremony that the wife will
obey often prevents an unhappy end
ing of happy marriage.
Miss Middaugh, speaking of meth
eds she will pursue in holding court
says she is sure she will give no
more weight to testimony of hand
some man than TO any other person.
"A woman can use her mind just as
well as man. says Miss Middaugh.
'She can consider the fine points Of
law without being influenced by out
side considerations"
Miss Middaugh does not say, but
intimates that many courts run by
men are swayed by good looking
women in disregard of the evidence.
Miss Middaugh has been appointed
justice to succeed her sister, Miss
Lura Middaugh, who left to farm a
homestead in Colorado.

WATCH VENDOR REAPING HAIR

Bankers are Victims of Crook, Who
Leaves TimepieCe as Security.

Pocahontas, June 2.-There is a
man now in Iowa who buys alleged
gold watches with alleged twenty
jewel movements by the dozen, gives
one of them to a banker as security
for loan of $40 or $50, wherever
he happens to run short of money,
and moves on to the next place.
The Iowa Bankers association has
become aware Of the operations o.
this watch vendor. Last Wednesday
he was at Pocahontas. He exchanged
a watch for considerable more cash
than it was worth at bank there,
and was trailed to Hartford, Ia,
where the scent was lost
The game appears to be unusual

Fox Farming in PostvilIe.

The Gass boys have started fox
farm at their home just over the
line in Clayton county, where they
have four fox cubs recently dug out
of their den on Yellow river, and
they are pretty and extremely cute
family. However, but one of them
shows any disposition to become do
mesticated, and this one Herb picks
up and fondles as readily as one
would pup. The other three, true
to their native instinct, are manshy
and will snap and snarl if you at,
tempt to approach them, and that
they mean business the boys can
prove by numerous marks on their
hands. The boys expect to add sew
eral more residents to their foy
farm shortly.-Postville Review.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh

If any good.
TO correct catarrh you should treat its

their activities.
Every agent had to deal with hog

about a saving of something like 3d.

tivities of these nine men, some thou
sands of acres of alfalfa were seeded,
and that promises returns OF a good

They laid the foundation for higher
standard of seed corn, better adapted
to their respective counties, and for
better care of the crop, which Will
undoubtedly add from five to ten bush

work conserving their soils; they in

encouraged them to eliminate smut

they organized COW testing associa-

annually in each association. Perhaps
not an agent among them who did

III moreite Home Economies
School. 1t has been the
9:1f biggest and most enthus-
pines iastic day of the entire
W. week and several hun
dred women gathered to see Miss
Peet fry She seems tireless, and was
jolly and good natured to the very
closing of the school. She is de
lighted with the reception she has re-
ceived in Ardmore, and in response
to the many invitations that have
been extended her to return here
and conduct another series of cook
cry lessons, she says she will be de-
lighted to do so at the first oppor-
tunity.
Though there was much regret that
the last day of the school had been
reached. the audience was a happy
and highly appreciative one, and
both sessions We're thoroughly en-
joyed. Miss Peet did all she had
promised in the frying line. She
fried all day without smoking up
the hall. She fried one food after an
other, including fish, using the same
frying fat over and over and yet
leaving no trace of the flavor of one
food, even fish, in any of the others.
Miss Peet uses crisco in all her fry
ing operations and recommends this
as an ideal frying fat. She says that
frying properly done is an altogether
wholesome manner of preparing food
and she has spared no pains to teach
this proper frying method to all who
have been attending her classes in
Robson opera house. Her fried
foods were deliciously crisp and
brown without a suggestion of grease
and many of the women who had
eschewed fried foods because they
had considered them indigestible.
were glad to learn Miss Peet's method
of frying. They have learned to have
explicit faith in everything that Miss
Peet tells them and they feel that
if she says her method of frying
produces wholesome food, they may
safely adopt this method.
