 AN ALL-AROUND SUFFRAGIST
 It will be remembered that Mrs Pat tie Ruffner Jacobs won a second prize ($25) on her war garden in the contest conducted in Birmingham. Mrs Jacobs is known throughout the state and United States as a prominent suffragist. She is member of the board of National American Woman Suffrage association. Again, she was honored by being named a member of the woman's liberty loan committee, of which Mrs. w. G. McAdoo is chairman.
 THE QUESTION:
 Women are being employed by rail roads; they are blowing and. harvesting, and English and French women are mali clerks and day laborers. A certain pressman in one of our southern states says this is ''transgressing the sanctity of the laws and customs which have en- throned woman in the high places.' The question is, What would become of this world and woe and heartache of today if women stuck to their high places and didn't come down to work in the low places and the hard places?" Please an- Swer, someone of you dreamers who be- Eeve that you put your womankind on a pedestal

CATHOLIC WOMAN'S
CLUB MEETING

On Wednesday afternoon the Cath
o1ic Womans club met at their
club rooms. After the opening prayer
the club was entertained by listening
to the Misses Ethel Warner, Audrey
Meade, Mae McMahan and Alice Lar
kin, play piano solos. The music was
very much appreciated by all present
The club was honOred by having as
their special guest Of the day, Rev.
Father O'Reilly, who read a paper on
the "Christain Home" Father ORe1lly
said in part: eve rejoice in the re-
markable and excellent features of our
American civilization. Yet it is mat
ter of CONSERVATION and deep concern
to US that the moral standard OF Amer
lean life is deteriorating. By our mar
velous success in material things, we
have astOnished the world, but moral
Iy, we are rapidly going astern. The
trouble, is our home life is not what it
should be. There are three great edu-
CdLlOudl InSIlIUt1OAO All G&4C WO1 AN' UAAO
Christian home, the Christian church
and the christian school Each has its
own special sphere, each bears an in
innate relation to the other To octain
the best results, all three should work
in harmony. In a truly Christian
home, the husband is the head Of the
household The wife, however, is not
is inferior. Man and woman are the
compliments of each other. Certain
qualities poss essed by one, are wanting
in the other. To the woman is given
the more exalted position, in that OF
the care of the home and the training
of her children, in Christian morality,
thereby moulding the character of the
future citizens of our country. Par
ents should make the home inviting
and attractive. Too many nowadays re-
gard the home as place for sleeping
and eating only, whereas by strength
atmosphere, it's neatness and comfort,
should be the dearest, sweetest and
most charming spot on earth. Valued
for the hallowed relations arising from
the affectionater intercourse existing
between the Christian parents and a
child A home presided over by truly
Christian mother will forever be the
abode of virtue, comfort and happiness.

is indeed woman's sublime perogative.
AS a mother she exercises the greatest
influence on humanity She teaches
the young the lessons Of religion, and
virtue and installs into their minds

dignity of it's legislative and executive
functions and the enactments of its
representatives are entitled to our
highest respect. Let regard for au-
thority be banished from the home and
patriotism will soon be eXtinguished.
The deeper we look into the Christian
home, the more we are convinced that
the family of Christian faith, purity,
honesty and obedience is in itself the
saving unit of society and strengthens,

BARADOO cow
TESTING REPORT

2. r. Clingman submits the follow
ing report Of the BarabOo Cow resting
a association:
OF the seventeen COWS producing
over forty pounds Of butterfat eight
are Sh0rthorns. This does not prove
that the Shorthorn is q better producer
Of dairy products than the strlcuy
dairy breed, for a large number Oh the
HoIsteins and Jerseys were not fresh
at that time.
AT the present prices Of feed and
milk it takes a good COW to produce
butterfat and milk enough to pay Tor
her feed and have anything left over
to nav for the labor, so those whose
names do not appear in this list need
not get excited and begin to feed WITH
out reason. The PERSONS COW that
does not appear here at all may IN the
end Of the year be the highest produc-
or in buttarfat and return the largest
profit. | do not mean to underfeed
YOUR COWS, but excessive feeding at
