form OF metered service. The city
officials insisted just as emphatical-

any big increase In telephone rates

WOMEN on FARMS.

The woman on the farm is most
important factor in agriculture. Her
domestic work undoubtedly has di-
rect bearing on the efficiency of the
field workers; her handling of the
home and its surroundings contrib
utes 10 the cash intake, and, in ad-
ditien, hers is largely the response
bility for contributing the social and
other features which make <rm life
satisfactory aud pieasurable. On her
rests largely the moral and mental
development OF the children, and On
her attitude depends in great part
the important question Of whether the
sudceeding generation will continue
to farm or will seek the aliurement
CT life in the cities.
With all the importance and val1e
Of the woman's agricultural work
she has not the vote 10 bring about
better conditions IN her farm life.
The schools, good roads, bridges and
ALI the country necessities are denied
