FARMERS WIFE
WRITES LETTER
TELLS HOW CITY PEOPLE CAM
AID IN INCREASING THE
SUPPLY OF FOOD.
DON'T SPONGE ON OTHERS
sary Work for Their Friends
In the Country Who
Are Busy.

Madison, VISA farmers wife has
suggested a way in which Wisconsin
people can help cut down the cost of
living and thus help fight the war.
1t consists merely in being thought
full of others.
In a letter to Mrs. H. H. Morgan,
the woman member of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, this housewife says:
Dear Madam:
"At your meetings of the Council
of Defense, and from now on will you
kindly make plea for the conserva-
ton of the farmers wife's strength
and time.
The government is calling upon her
to plant gardens, can, dry, preserve.
etc., all of which she is most willing
to do If she has the time and strength.
The government is doing a great deal
10 give her information, etc., but she
must have one thing more-a procla-
nation or else newspaper or magazine
publicity bringing before city people
the need for her to have her Sundays
Tor rest or recreation after her hard
weeks work instead of spending it
waiting on endless crowds who come
IN a never-ending procession Sunday
after Sunday since the automobile has
come into general use.
1.-THE fact that she really loses two
lays each week which she might be
using to help the government this
summer ought to bring this practice
into bad repute. Saturdays are spent
in extra baking, cooking, etc., and if
she is not too tired to work at all,
Mondays are spent in replenishing the
empty larder, washing table-linen,
Strengthening disordered house, etc..
caused by the Sunday crowds.
IF you can give the farmers wife's
plea sufficient publicity, many thought
less people will cease burdening their
tired country friends and you will be
doing her the greatest service that
has ever been done.
obviously, this is delicate subject
Tor the farmers wife to plead for her
self, and if she only did defend herself,
1t would not help the millions of other
farm women who suffer likewise. SO

81 said I'd never marry you," she
rushed on, vibgantly. ''This is the man
I love-the only man. Yes, and I've
learned the truth about you. I know
who killed Mr.. Austin"
Longorio did very unexpected
thing then slowly, unconsciously, as if
the movement were the result of half
forgotten training, he crossed himself.
But now from the hall at his back
came the pounding Of boot-heels, and a
half-dozen painting troopers tu,nbled
through the door. He waved them back
and out into the hall again.
Father O'Malley, who had been try
ing to make himself heard, stepped in
front of the general and said, solemn

Alaire, he shouted: "Too late, Ell!

am barely in time"
Dave added his words to the others:
"You are ten to one, but you can't have
her," he cried, defantly. "Jose San

Austin, and told how you had got Mrs.
Austin to come here. The whole thing

City by this time. The newspapers
have it.; everybody knows you are
keeping her as your prisoner, and that
I have come for her. If she is harmed,
all Mexico, all the world, will know
that you are worse than murderer"
Longorio reached behind his back
and slammed the door in the faces of
his listening men.
"What is this? What did Jose con-
fess?' he inquired, sharply.
'He swears you hired him."
'sBah! The word of a pelador."

his cheeks, his eyes glowed with indfg-
nation. He was about to make known
what was in his mind when Alaire
raised her hand and in a strained
whisper exclaimed:
"'Sh-h! Listen!"
The heavy door Of the hacienda
creaked, quick tread sounded on the
tiles, the door to the living room was
flung open, and Longorio entered. He
was hot and dusty from his ride, but
with lovers impetuosity he had made
straight for this lighted room.
For the briefest instant he balanced
himself just inside the portal, and the
smile remained fixed upon his lips
Then his eyes became ringed with
white and he made swift, catlike
movement of retreat. Plainly this was
the supremest surprise of his lifetime
and he seemed to doubt his senses. But
he recovered quickly. Thrusting his
head forward, he demanded:
"What is this? YOu-and your He

back again.
They all spoke at once, but he heard
only Alaire's words:

ride up, sir, so ran to tell you about
this fellow"
But the general cut him short. "Call

that sent the soldier leaping back into
the night.

clutching him the tighter when he tried
to unclasp her hold. Her movement

with his holster. But his fingers were
clumsy. He could not take his eyes
from the pair, and he seemed upon the
point Of rushing forward to tear them
apart.
"Don't touch her! Don't" he be-
gan, cursing in a high-pitched voice.
God! What reckoning!" Then he
stamped his feet, he wrung his hands,
he called shrilly at the top of his voice !:
Lieutenant Ho, Pancho! You fell
lows! Quickly!" Under the stress Of
his excitement the feminine side of his
character betrayed itself.
Alaire felt her newly made husband
gather himself for spring; he was
muttering to her to release him; he
was trying to push her aside, but she
held fast with the strength of despera-
ton.
"You can't harm u.s. she declared,
