Dear Fellow Worker:

The national committee has q
deficit of 100000 or more. In
going over the situation with Chair

your city was one that would raise
us at least 500 Immediately, and
probably good deal more. Con.

your committee to this effect. and

The expenses of the campaign this
year have been heavier, much neavi,

mated that million and half dol

days of the campaign. our opponents
spent such immense sums of none,

work and shortly the public was in
formed of a new and perfectly deli

man who originated ii became mil

dish? Dandelion salad, IL you please.
It was garnlshed and favored, and
withal was so piquant that no ono rec

We love the dandelion. There is a

most inclement weather. The dande-

WHAT is YOUR WIFE WORTH?
Estimate usoriaI Value In
Dollars ard Cents.

A Wisconsin professor OF home eco
Monies has made an exact estimate
OF what a wife is worth 10 her hus-
band in dollars and cents, says tho
indianapolis Star. IL Is asserted that
she should be credited with earning
the difference between the cost of raw
material and the finished product that
she turns out.
Just what this ia no can learn by
estimating food items: for example.
by noting tho difference between tho
cost of a barrel OF -four and the cost
OF bakers loaves made from tho con-
tents of such a barrel A moro direct
method. however. is by hiring house
keeper to do the cooking and dress
making and other labors performed
by tho wife. Unfortunately this 10
seldom done until the wife has gone
to heaven, 80 that she falls to benc-
III by the husbands discovery.
There 10 reason to believe. however.
that no wife who holds herself In
due respect will accept this so-callcd
scientific estimate OF her value to the
family. She knows very we'll that she
is worth moro In actual money than

to put tho services OF their wives on
this purely commercial basis. and un.
fortunately, fow wives have any
thought OF demanding II. The most OF
