Saco, Me-, Oct. 25.-The local ex-

by which it refused to exempt VIA

Woman's After.War Work.

Mary Boazman writes as follows in
the Woman at Home, London:
."At the end Of the war many women
will be engaged in vocations once ga
cred to men. Some Of these are prob
ably unsuited to them. but in others
they will continue to the advantage
of themselves and society. The time
is surely ripe for proper division of
the various employments between the
two sexes to end the fierce competi-
ton prevailing before the increase to
the army. For instance, waiting at
table and the teaching of young chill
dren are tasks more adapted to wom-
en- than to men, and might well be-
come their monopoly. 1t is clearly
wiser to prepare for the numbers Of
women who wiz have to be provided
for in the future in a systematic fash
ion, than to leave the matter to settle
itself in the haphazard way which
breeds confusion and strife"

And pay your filing fee,
So you can get home out there
Where Dearfield's going to be.
You ought to ride out through the

Ihat this isn't got up may be so,
But Dear1eld's going to be.
