behind the pillow, pitching hay and
hauling manure, and what is to become
Of womanly culture and refinement
that grace the home, charm society
and enthuse man to leap to glory in
noble achievements II our daughters
are raised In the society Of the or and
the companionship Of the plowH
In that strata between the ages of
sixteen and forty-flve are CSC, 900 wom-
en- working as farm hands and many
of them with sucking babes tug
ging at their breasts, as drenched
In Precipitation, they WELD the scythe
and guide the pillow. What is to be.
come Of that nation where poverty
breaks the crowns of the queens of
the home; despair hurls a mothers
love from its throne and hunger drives
innocent children from the schoolroom
to the hoe?
The census bureau shows that 1885,
600 Of these women are forty-five
years of age and over There is no
more pitiful sight in civilization than
these sanity mothers of Israel stopped
with age, drudging in the field from
sun until sun and at night drenching
their dingy pillows with the tears of
despair as their aching hearts take
1t all to God in prayer Civilization
strikes them blow when it should
give them crown, and their only
friend is he who broke bread with
beggars and said: Come unto me all
ye that>are weary and heavy laden and
l will give you rest"
Oh, America! The land of the free
and the home OF the brave, til >
worlds custodian of chivalry, the
champion Of human rights and the de-
fender of the oppressed-shall we per-
NIT our maidens fair to be torn from
the hearthstone by the ruthless hand
Of destiny and chained to the plow?
Shall we permit our faithful wives,
whom we covenanted with God to cher
ish and protect, to be hurled from the
home to the harvest field, and our
mothers dear to be driven from the old
arm chair to the cotton patch?
In rescuing our citizens from the
forces Of civilization, can we not apply
to our fair Dixieland the rule of the
sea-"women and children first?"
There must be a REIMBURSEMENT Of
the wage scale of industry so that the
women can be taken from the field or
given reasonable wage for her serv-
ices. Perhaps the issue has never been
fairly raised, but the Farmers Union,
with membership Of ten million, puts
its organized forces squarely behind
the issue and we now enter upon the
docket Of civilization the case of The
Woman in the Field" and demand an
immediate trial.

TOMBSTONE SHOULD HAVE
 ORGANIZED BALL TEAM

IL has been noted by a 'ProspectoT" reporter that the baseball pug has at last shown evidence that it is again working on the Tombstone lovers of the national sport
 The local Mexican colony have a fairly good team. and there IS no doubt but what the American boys can. with a little practice. trim up to the standard of former teams of this city. and it can truthiully be said that they played good ball. But now comes the pro position. These teams consisted of good ball players. but they lacked the things most essential--pToper manage Ticn;, organization and support
 Wilcox. Pearce. Light. Benson. and a number oi towns ,har are by far lesser ,n population. have very good teams. and it is a certainty that this city has considerable Socd material, and with a little backing and encour- ascment. Tombstone could have win ming ball team
 There is no doubt but what the peo. plc will be only too glad to lend a hand in supporting a home team. providing that the players make themselves known. get out and practice. and show that they mean business
