Why not figure some. on helping tuat
good wife OF yours who has stood by
you so well and done a great deal Of
hoae drudgery; for instance, why not
install some form OF water works :?
If you go off and buy all sorts Of
equipment for saving labor on the
farm CT for the convenience Of taking
care of the COWS, why let the wife
continue to carry water from wei
that is located nearer to the cows,
than to the kitchen?
Water works systems for farm

the way from $50 to 5000 Water
works mean not only saving of labor
for the farm wife, but affords means
for better sanitation, for watering
flower beds and kitchen gardens,

many other such uses.

twice nothing Is nothing still, so most
Of us won't worry.
The Weston leader. [volume] (Weston, Umatilla County, Or.) 189?-1946, 1916-10-06

Those who are fond of con.
demning Wilson's Mexican policy
as supine and cowardly should
reflect upon Taft's letter to the
governor of Arizona when the
latter telegraphed him in 1911
that unless the government act
ed the people of Douglas would
have to vacate the town. Taft
wrote:
i cannot order the troops to
cross the border, but must ask
you and the local authorities, in
case the danger occurs again, to
direct the people of Douglas TO
place themselves where the dan
ger cannot reach them"
Was patience in Taft coward
ice in Wilson. who eventually
did order the troops across the
border?
