Women's Sense of Humor Developing

on the stage, and how gladly we give
up 81 of our hard-earned money TO
see a comedian give a lifelike repre-
sentation OF gentleman on a spree.
Yet there are thousands Of women
who greet this spectacle in their own
homes, not with laughter, but with
tears. Is il possible that the wives
OF drunkards have been missing a
good joke, and that all they need to
turn their sorrow into JOY is just to
cultivate a sense Of humor?
And there's the unfaithful husband
also source OF infinite jest on the
stage, the very backbone of every
farce. How we scream with laughter
as we observe on the stage the merry
antics of the gay gentleman who
rushes out OF one door OF the restaur-
ant with the pretty young girl with
whom he had been dining and winning,
while his fat wife waddles in at the
other door in hot pursuit Of him
How sidesplitting are his decep-
tions, how killing the lies with which
he blinds the confding wife How RI
diculous her jealousy And what a
pity that the poor forsaken lady can't
join in the laugh and see how funny
il all isl
Therefore. let us all wish a sense
OF humor on the female sex. Ii will
solve many OF women's problems, and
il will abolish the foolish fashions,
with which women make figures OF
fun OF themselves; for then they will
see what good Jokes are when they
wear. as they did last summer, the
faithful old family white cat around
their necks in August

By DOROTHY DIX.

Have women a sense OF humor?
| Men contend that they have not.
Men have frankly admitted that they
do not understand woman's anatomy,
physical or mental, but they've been
sure OF one point about her, and that
is that she was made out OF Adam
wishbone and not out OF his funny
bone.
Tradition has il that to tell her a
funny story is like scattering pearls
\ before swine--that she had to have
jokes diagrammed for her, and then
laughed in the wrong place.
This is the way men, who are sein-
tilating wits abroad. who keep the
table in a roar, excuse themselves for
being dull and grouchy and silent at
the domestic breakfast table. They
hold that wife is so lacking in a
sense of humor that she is no good
even 10 try out a new joke on.
Perhaps II has been true that the
woman OF the past had little sense of
humor and didn't laugh much, They
hadn't much to laugh about. Tears
were their portion. and in our grand
mothers time. when women met to-
gether, they sat up and told one an
other mournful stories OF trouble and
affection. and recounted all OF the
painful details of sick beds and death
room scenes.
But the evolution OF women is
bringing with il an elongation OF
their funny-hone Their sense OF uh-
NOR is beginning 20 develop. They
laugh more, aud now when they meet
together they exchange Jokes instead
OF symptoms and particulars Of their
last surgical operation, and the differ
ence comes pretty near 70 measuring

crossed IL shows they are getting

Potato Growers to Meet January 3

I The second annual meeting Of the
Minnesota Potato Growers Association
will be heldfon Wednesday,, January 8,
1917 at University Farm, during the
Farmers and Home Makers Week. A
potato exhibit will be feature Of the
meeting this year. Every potato
grower in the state, whether he is a
member of the association or not, is
being urged to enter an exhibit and
attend the meeting. -.
Last year the Wisconsin Potato
Growers Association staged the larg-
est potato show in the United States.
It is the plan of those behind the pro-
posed exhibit at University Farm to
make it one Of the best in the history
of the middle west. Minnesota can
produce potatoes equal to those grown
in Wisconsin.
A program Of interesting and i'm
portant topics to every potato grower
will be discussed. Particulars can be
obtained by writing to A. G. Tolaas,
University Farm, St. Paul.

THREE STATES DRY,
OTHERS DOUBTFUL

Chicago, Nov. S.-Meager returns
indicate South Dakota, Michigan and
Nebraska have joined the ranks of
dry states, while the results in Mon
'tana, Missouri, California and Idaho
are doubtful.
South Dakota's majority for the
drys is said to be safe with 10000,
while the lead in Michigan was about
10000 in 239 precincts in forty-three
counties: The proposition to permit
communities to regulate liquor sales
under a home rule amendment was
defeated.
Nebraska's dry lead is reported to
be small. California showed a vote
of about to 1 against prohibition in
$50 out of 5,917 precincts.
Baltimore gave a vote of about 3
to 1 against prohibition in Maryland
Eleven cities and counties, the only
wet spots in the state, we're voting.
The vote in Kansas City and St.
Louis was heavy against the drys.

w. R. Porter, superintendent of the
demonstration farms in North Dakota
urges that railroads operate labor spe-
Gals, carrying laborers from the east
ern centers to the prairies of the west
at low fare rates. The campaign of
terrorization directed against honest
wage earners by Industrial Workers
Of the World, threatens farm labor
shortage which means restricted pro-
duction. ''There is no more reason
why the railroads should maintain an
infexible passenger rate than they
should maintain an infexible freight
rate" says Mr.. Porter. 'The labor
traffic will bear a certain charge and
if labor specials were operated from
Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and SINH
lar central points, the fare being
placed at $40, tremendous supply of
laborers would be supplied here"

The Game of Five Senses.

Taste-Each player must be pro-
vided with pencil and paper and a
tally card, which the hostess will
stamp after each demonstration with
the number Of correct guesses. He is
then blindfolded and to each is passed
a tray with dozen or more things to
be tasted-sweet, sour, pleasant and
disagreeable- only a very tiny taste
is needed. The eyes are then unblind-
ed and each player must write down
in order the names Of the articles he
has tasted. -
Smelling-Again they are blind
folded, and a tray with spices, nedi-
cines, flowers and perfumes are Of
fered them to smell, after which each
one notes his opinions as to their
names.
Hearing Blndfolded 9 as y before,
they are now made to listen to Vari-
GUS kinds Of noises, all together, of
crying, laughing, signing, bells ring
ing, pounding, knocking, tearing pa
per, violin and piano playing, etc.
Also the voices Of friends may, be
added. These are then recorded. =.
Touch-For this a tray containing
dozen or more articles to be felt is
passed in turn, to the unseeing play
ers. Odd-shaped and unusual :presen-
tations of common, everyday articles,
causes much uncertainty and fun,
such as raw oyster or twisted piece
of dough, rubber sponge, etc. When
these objects, or what they are sup
posed to be, are noted, the players are
given their test on sight. TO-.
Sight-A number Of articles are
grouped on table or tray, some
dozen or fifteen is a fair test. The
players are allowed just twenty sec
onds to observe them, after which. they
are covered or removed, and the con-
testants complete their lists. From
two to four prizes should be awarded,
first and second for best lists, and the
same for consolation.
