PREPARED AND READ FOR THE TUESDAY
CLUB OF RIVER FALLS
BY MRS. E. F. WRIGHT

crude way, that which she began
centuries ago.
She is the mother of all the in
dustries: Agriculture, milling, car
pentry, masonry, transportation,
manufacture, etc. This sounds
like fancy but it is fact and few
minutes only are necessary to re-
fresh our memories here.
Man was born with a physical
body to nOurish. hence hunger had
to be satisfied with food and it
became one of the Woman's first
important missions to find and
serve this food. She made three
trips into the vegetable kingdom
to do this: On the first she took
the fruits ready without further
preparation; next she took the
digging stick and basket and dug
the roots and other parts t h t
might be cooked by throwing hot
stones into water and boiling
them; last she gathered the seeds.
These vegetables. with meat d
fish were their living.
From the time she sets out to
secure this food until it is serv-
ed there are grouped a number of
vocations or industries, and savage
woman was master Of them all.
She must be harvester to gather
her seeds as she did by using. her
little racket-shaped paddle to
beat the seeds into her funnel
shaped basket; a builder, the in
PRODUCER of granaries, in construct
ing her various repositories to
store her food. And here I wish
to say that as soon as she began
to store her food she found it had
to be protected from little animals,
SO it is said she tanned the Wild
cat for this purpose by taking the
baby kittens into her home an d
rearing them, then turning them
loose about the home to satisfy
their desire for prowling. She was
the miller for she ground her
own seeds and leached her own
meal, using mortar and pestle.
Some seeds were so hard that her
wooden mortar and pestle could
not do the work, so she had to
become stone-worker and Gre
ate her grinding apparatus Of
stone to crush them. Many Of
these old mortars made by h e
California Indian women are still
to be found on the Lodges along
the banks of streams, and nearly
all of our old plantations had NOR
tar and pestle for crushing hominy.
Savage woman was also the butch
er, cutting up the game with her
knife of flint, kept sharp with her
steel OF hard bone; the tanner to
cure the skins and the tailor to
fashion the clothes. She must
have been quite a caterer, toe:
Her meat she served dried, boiled
by means of hot stones, broiled
on hot rock, roasted in a deep
pit, cooked with fruits to change
it's flavor, or preserved as penn
mican. Nuts were eaten in their
natural state. roasted by means of
shaking them in a shallow basket

Only when we consider that half
the population Of the world is fe-
males, do we realize that what they
are doing is question which con-
Germs the human race. And to
place a just value on what they
are doing now we must have some
knowledge of what share their
mothers, grandmothers, and an
cestors to the remotest savage
predecessor have had in originat-
ing and laying the foundations for
arts and culture of which we are
all now justly proud.
1t seems that woman has al
ways learned lessons Of industry
from the creatures Of nature who
could give them. She has initial
ed the birds, spiders and wasps
in building her home; t h little
creatures Of the forest in storing
her food: and the ant in persistent
busyness. It is we'll, too, for US
that she did this; for Mason gives
this picture of our remotest an
cestor: Chow comfortless was
the first woman who stood upon
this planet! How economical her
dowry! Her body was singular
ly devoid of comfortable hair. her
teeth and jaws were the feeblest,
her arm was less powerful than
that Of any creature Of her size,
she had no wings like the birds,
she could not see into the night
like the owl. the timid hare was
fleeter of foot than she. Her in
ventive genius and cunning fingers
had not yet devised the sheltering
tent or the comfortable clothing.
AS yet she had no tools Of peace
full industry nor experience. So
ciety had not then formed it's body
polite around her as a nucleus.
She had poor ways of expressing
her thoughts or her sense Of beau
ty. She had no theory of the life
below and poorer conceptions Of
the heavenly world. Nature mock
ed her. The food and textile plants
withheld their productions from
her. The mountain sheep fled
away to their Businesses with their
fleece and milk. So many secrets
We're held back from her by Ma
ture, who knew SO much and told
SO little. AS yet her magic touch
had not even begun to cover the
earth with waving grainfields or
golden cornfields or lucious fruit"
But even at that time her men
tally was sufficient to discover
and invent the things necessary
for existence. How we'll she did
this-that so-called savage an
cestor of ours, the woman of a re-
mote yesterday-and how worthy
she is of our honor, is one of the
points I wish to fix in our minds
today.
In the earliest authentic history
we find woman with her task we'll
under way, and after a thorough
study of legend, myth language,
folklore, archaeology, or even Wis
iting the oldest tribes on any con-
tinent I'VE learn that she is sim

WASHINGTON LETTER
From James A. FFsaF, Member Of Congress,
10Th District.

Under a rule passed by the Dem
ocratic caucus of the House the
thirty dollar ship purchase bill was
introduced and forced through III
one day. A bill of the same char
acter has been pending before the
Senate for many weeks, but under
the House rule only $50 minutes
were given to over 400 members in
which TO discuss the bill.
Without any conference on the
measure, every Republican and a
number of Democratic Members,
VINO bolted the caucus, were record
ed against + Although many OBJ.
jections were urged the leading
protest arose from the fact that its
passage may lead to dangerous
foreign entanglements.
Briefly stated, the bill as passed
provides that our Government shall
issue bonds and buy ships sailing
under any flag. These ships, are
to be leased to private parties until
after the European war, for the
ostensible purpose of providing
shipping facilities for American
goods.
On the same day the bill passed
the House, Senator Hitchcock,
leading Democrat, stated in the
Senate that foreign shipments from
our ports were several times greater
during last December and January
than a year ago, before the war
commenced. A protest was also
read from Mayor Mitchell of New
York City, asking for an embargo
on all food stuffs, because of re-
cent heavy shipments of grain from
this country to Europe. On the
same day England and Germany
notified this Government to keep
hands off the European situation,
that the American flag would be
used by England and neutral yes
sells in the war zone would be sunk
by Germany.
Supporters of the ship purchase
bill in the House spun fine distinc-
ton to show that this Government
has legal right to buy ships from
any one, anywhere. Such ar9u-
ments called to mind an occurrance
Of about a year ago when an Ameri-
can fleet was suddenly sent to Vera
Cruz. A few Mexicans were killed
and the Custom House seized be-
cause several marines had been ar
rested by mistake and a FL gun
salute would not be fired by the
MeXicans unless this Government
returned the salute. That salute
demanded by an Admiral has never
been fired and we were glad to get
out of Mexico.
We do not need to have the Gov
eminent engage in the shipping
trade with Euroge, when we are
warned the sea is mined, unless we
foolishly play with lighted matches
around powder barrels.

The 1915 pension bill passed the
House last week carrying $164 ,000,-
900 for about $4,000 pensioners in
Guiding widows and orphans. This
amount is $S,000,000 less than for
1914. The loss in number of pen
sioneers has reached 207, 900 during
the last six years, showing how
rapidly the old soldiers are passing
away. Little opposition was mani
tested against the bill, but during
the debate which covered ship pur-
chases, child labor and other legis-
lation, one of the leading Georgia
Members called an Alabama Mem

Palmer, who ran against Penrose

ocratic candidate for Governor in a
losing fight.
