THE FARM WOMAN"

We spun and wove everything we had; knit our stockings, would sit up till late in the night and card and spin by pine knot light. If we got our task done be- fore bedtime we could read awhile. We had to get out and hunt oak bark to cook with. Of course, we cooked on rne fireplace. In'the summer time we washed at the creek and had water to drink from the same place. We did not have store bought soap and washing powders; we just simply had battling stick and lye soap and elbow grease"
 The farm woman in Kentucky nowa- days leads a different sort of life ShA does not always belong to a country club projected into pastoral scenes by the nearest county seat, and there are still many farmers who are not driving the little insect-like automobile that get there just the same" at an advertised cost of less per mile than Dobbin and the surrey. But it is evident that farm women," at least some of them, do not regard themselves as suitable objects for the soicitude of the department of agri- culture, or suitable subjects for socio- logical study and settlement work pur- sued by idle city matrons.

CONDITIONS IN ITALY

gins at 20, and the conscript Is liable to the colors for 19 years. This gives some idea of the tremendous draft by which the able-bodied men of the nation have been thinned down. The army as a whole consists of 96 regiments or fnfan- try 12 regiments of light infantry eight Alpine regiments, 29 regiments of cavalry. 30 regiments of field artillery, one regi- ment of horse artillery two regiments Of mountain artillery, 10 reg- ments of coast artillery and a brigade in Sardinia, two regiments of fortress artil- lery, six regiments of engineers and a battalion of aviators. The Italian gov ernment by adding to it's estimate 2.200,- coo of territorial militia. figures total war strength of about 3,20O, GOO men.
 The Austro-Italian frontier is ASA miles long. The Italian coast line totals 416O miles, of which aO52 are on the peninsula. Every Alpine pass on the Italian frontier is fortified, and in the basin of the Pc there are Actresses at Casale, Piacenza, Verona. Mantua Venice and Alessandria. circle of forts guards Rome. The for tresses the coasts and islands are at Vado, Taranto and in the Straits of Mes sina.
 Since King Emmanuel signed, March 21 the decree promulgating the national defense law, forbidding espionage, the movements of the Italian army toward mobilization have been carried on in secret In February this year the reserv- ists abroad, in Britain. America and else where, got word from Rome to prepare for a call home.
 The economic stress and military pre- paredness of Italy are greatly increasing the war spirit, and these powerful causes are added to by other causes that would seem even of themselves to be irresistible. Necessity, if not fate itself. would seem to be pushing Italy into the struggle.

four Sundays I can have the job fin ished," the man said to himself.
 So, he dug and he dug while the good parson preached. This cellar digger was a swearing man and his profanity, from time to time as his shovel baked at rock, punctuated the preachers sermon in a manner not set down upon the church pro- gramme. And when the choir tried to sing, the click of the wicked mans pick threw discord into the music.
 Clearly it was an epochal day in that Missouri town, for the preacher and his flock, goaded to action, then and there launched Sunday lid cru sade and from modest beginning it expanded until it became a general purity uprising.
 The saloons, the pool rooms and the dance halls have been closed-not only on Sundays, but every day. There's preaching undisturbed on Sundays and prayer meetings undisturbed on Wednesday evenings-in short, the town has reformed
 And it all grew out of a working man digging a cellar on Sunday.

Crops and Business

The marked activity in the stock market and the buoyancy in business circles generally may be traced to several causes, not the least of which is the great harvest outlook, for after all big crops and fair prices form the basis of genuine prosperity.
 The government report on winter wheat was, on the whole, decidedly favorable. The crop "came through the freezing months in excellent shape" It is growing on the greatest acreage ever planted in the United States. Prospects for a record crop probably were blighted by the un- usually dry fall, but conditions have improved so much within the past few weeks that yield equal to that of last year-the largest ever known may be harvested. At any rate there will be bumper wheat crop There is a great oats crop in sight and the farmers are planting more corn than usual. As for hay, there is always an immense crop.
 There is a reduction in the cotton acreage, but with favorable weather conditions the crop will be large enough to go round, and the prices will be high enough to give every farmer fine profit.
 Business will continue to improve right along, and if the governments May reports make the right kind of showing, there will be such briskness in trade that has not been known foi two years or more.

or personal questions, but as you guys seem to have taken an interest in my pri- vate affairs, I will tell why I have never married. It is this: I have never found the girl that comes up to my re- quirements, which are that she must be rich good looking and crazy. If she is not rich and good looking I won't have her, and if she is not crazy she won't have me. Get me, Steve?'
 ''They tell a lot of good jokes on the Ford, but after all is said and done the Ford always gets there' said Joseph T. Wiley.
 "A fellow has just related this one to me: man tore the tin roof off of a building, rolled it up and dumped it down on one side of the street.
 "A garage nearby received a report from an owner that someone had stolen his Ford for a joy ride. and to look it up and make the necessary repairs. The garage man found the roll of tin roof. hauled it in and telephoned the Ford owner: I find the car is in pretty bad fix, and it will take couple of weeks to get 1t into shape.

How Small Things Grow

Do you believe in the old adage, "Tall oaks from little acorns grow and large streams from tiny foun- tains flow?"
 If any there be who doubt, let the skeptic read on and ponder over the two narratives herein set out.
 Away back in 1880, young man applied for job in a California rail road roundhouse. He got the job. Moreover, he held the job-held it until he got better one in the same line of service. One promotion after another followed and it wasn't so very long, as time is ticked off by the great clock of fate, until that one-time en- zine wiper was an engine master-a full-fledged locomotive engineer, first on freight trains and later on the roads palatial flyers.
 That would have been glory enough for some men-but not for the one herein under discussion. Leaving the throttle for still higher service, this industrial hero is now second vice president of the Southern Pacific rail- road.
 His name is w. R. Scott, and he's known in railroad circles from Frisco to New York.
 He not only cleaned engines, but he took sideswipe at opportunity.
 Over in southern Missouri there's lively little>city that was once noted for its wide-open, wicked ways. The saloons kept open on Sundays, there was gambling, semi-public, in the rear room of pool hall, public dances overshadowed prayer meetings fin evening popularity-in short, the town was tough"
 But it's a good town now and the lid of suppression has been firmly clamped over all vice.
 Here is how the metamorphosis was wrought:
 One Sunday few months ago, a working man who lived in a cottage next door to a church decided to dig a cellar. Being busy of week days, he planned to make Sunday job of it.
 "Ill start it now and in three ol

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

When 8 pretty girl is talking about a homely girl she is always generous enough to admit that the homely girl has beau tiful disposition.
 If girls used as much care in choosing husbands as they do in choosing hats there would be about one marriage a month.
 Even when nature has blessed a girl with a good figure she is always trying to improve matters by changing some of the outlines.
 After 8 girl gets on the shady side ol 9 she would appreciate a birthday absent more than birthday present.
 There are all sorts of people in the world, including the man who can spoil the best story on earth when he tries tc tell it.
 Most women have two dispositions, one for home use and one for company use And this is also true of most men. A man will let his wife carry the nigh key and hand him out a dime for car fart every morning. But he will want to figh1 fl you say that he is henpecked

Spring Is Here

The signs of spring are so very evil dent now that 1t seems hard to realize that the last days of last week were so very winterish," said a nature lover. As I strolled in the parks and saw the green carpeting grass, star-studded with blue-eyed violets, just peeping out, and heard the glad chirp of birds, I rejoiced, and a voice within me would have cried out, hail spring.
 "On my way to my home on the South Highlands I passed a yard with a high curbing stone wall and there was waited to my nostrils the scent of fresh moved grass-that delicious 'greenish' odor-that brings to the minds eye a glimpse of having time, merry voices and lowing kine standing in the cooling waters at the ford-a pause before vending their way to the waiting pail.
 "The rich yellow of flowers is brighten ing the dark sombre colored front of some houses, or marking path of gold along the walks Porch boxes are show ing life and bloom, and verify. we may say, spring is herei'

Alabama National Guard

Alabama's appropriation for it's National Guard for a period of four years, beginning this year, is much less than it was for the same period just ended, and unless the United States government increases its SUD- port our citizen soldiery will fall be- hind the organized militia of other states.
 Militarism will never be allowed to fasten itself upon America. This country will never have very large standing army, as standing armies are known in Europe. But we must strengthen our national defense and in order to do so without an enormous expenditure of money the spirit of patriotism must be in evidence. We must count largely upon the National Guard.
 Alabama's National Guard situa- tion will be explained to the war de- partment within the next few days and it is hoped that a way will be found to supplement the appropria- tion already provided for, by further appropriation from some military con- tingent fund.

The Note to Great Britain

The Washington administration may have been criticized for it's Mexi- can policy, but the firm stand it has taken in maintaining neutrality in the matter of the European war has met with the approval of all patriotic Americans and the approval of fair minded people in other countries as we'll
 l Not only was insistence upon abso- lute neutrality the proper course, but the diplomatic intercourse between the state department and the chancel- leries of the belligerent nations has been ably conducted. There has been no hasty action on the part of this government, but when the situa- tion has provoked a protest or diplomatic representation the state department has acted promptly and unfalteringly. Its notes have been couched in language at once clear and dispassionate and they have been all the more convincing because this gov ernment's position in the present cir cumstances has been unassailable.
 Americas recent note to Great Britain setting forth with cogent reasoning the fact that the British blockade violates neutral rights was of far-reaching concern. It was the strongest and at the same time the most felicitous of the various notes addressed to the British government since the war began. After reviewing at considerable length sthe legal phases of virtual blockade of neu- tral coasts, the United States in con- clusion declared its expectation that Great Britain would consider the pos abilities of serious interruption to American trade under the order in council of March 15 and take the steps necessary to avoid them. Furthermore the note makes it clear that in the event of unhappy occur rences touching our neutrality Great Britain must be aprepared to make full pora tion of avarv art which under the rules of international law constitutes a violation of neutral rights"
 The comments of the London press on the note have been charac- terized by spirit of moderation. One or two of the papers have undertaken to combat certain of this govern ment's contentious, but they have expressed in most cordial terms the appreciation of the English for the general fairness of the note.
 The British foreign office may at tempt diplomatic evasion, but finally the note will be answered in the same friendly spirit as that which distin- guished the preparation of the docu- ment at Washington.
 It is safe to assume that the order in council will be amended or with. drawn
