omic equality and independence,
and for almost a century now she
has been letting him know that she
won't be happy till she gets it. Po-
litical equality is practically won;
no one doubts that within a very
few years the rights of women to
vote and govern will be everywhere
recognized as fully as those of men.
The economic status of women,
although steadily advancing would
probably have been more slowly
realized. had it not been for the war.
That tremendous cataclysm which
has upset all old calculations and
has practically created a new world
of thoughts and ideals, has altered
the whole aspect of the question.
Woman is no longer being more
or less grudgingly admitted as an
economic factor; she is being well
coined and entreated.
Take our own country, for in
stance. Statisticians figure that
owing to the cessation of immigra-
ton, and the demands of military
service and work directly connected
with the waging of war. our normal
man power engaged in business and
industry has been decreased by al
most one-half, and that the re-
mainder is needed almost in toto
for the essential and urgent occu-
pations of agriculture, the steel and
iron industry, and transportation.
In round numbers, about fifteen
million workers are needed to carry
on the ordinary business of the ma
ton. Nor is this a merely local or
temporary shortage. Other nations
are in even worse shape than ours.
and the condition is due TO continue
hnnn
What is the answer, then? Why,
simply, that women must step in
and fn the gap. That they are al
ready feeling the call is evidenced TO
me by the letters l receive every
day.
AS a sample, one woman writes
to me: q am married and have
two children, but 1 want a differ
ent kind of employment. can. do
everything about a house-paint,
hang wallpaper make doll houses
and doll beds with real mattresses
on them, make the children new
clothes from old ones, but am
tired of it all. 1 want to get out
in the crowd, right in the middle
of the very biggest crowd l could
find. l would like to be letter
carrier in a busy section-anything
just SO L am out III liiS CIO"u'
Plainly the old restlessness of
the "restles SEX is astir. Woman
is eyeing her restrictions and con-
strains with a mutinous eye. Does
it mean that the old order is utterly
to change; that the housewife is to
go and all our food be served from
central kitchens and our sewing,
mending and cleaning be done by
central agencies; that women will go
out to work or business as univer-
sally as do men? Perhaps. 1t is
idle to try to stem the tides of des-
tiny.
But if so, let her play the game.
Let her be restless in her opposi-
ton to injustice, oppression and
wrong, restless in seeking the high
est efficiency, but not restless mere
ly for the sake of change.

Hurrying to Bakers
Causes Woman's Death

Gettysburg, Pa, July Miss
Elizabeth Studebaker died suddenly
Friday evening. After she had eaten
her supper and assisted in clearing

up street to go to a bakers for bread.
AS she left the house she remarked
o her brother-in-law that he should
time her to see how long it took her.
believing that she could make the
trip quicker than any one in the
house. On her return she was within
a square of reaching home when she
suddenly was taken i'll and asked a
neighbor to be allowed to go in her
home, which she did. and died be-
fore a physician could reach her.

Although a number of important
ordinances have been passed on first

In addition to these special agents
the boys working reserve, of which
L. r. ,Foote of Helena, is state direc-
tor, will make it possible for many of
the farmers to employ High school
boys to assist with the production of
crops.
1t is now planned that as a further
means of connecting the farmer want
ing help with the men wanting work
will be the designation, as labor
agents, of the postmasters and rural
carriers Of the state as we'll as the
publishers of newspapers who will
pledge to devote both some of their
time. and space in their papers to the
problem.
The farm labor question in Mon
tana is, indeed, one that calls for care
full consideration, and it will doubtless
be welcome news to the men who are
going to make a bumper crop for
Montana that the government will
assist them to secure labor.
Farmers in Valley county in need Of
farm labor should consult the free en-
ployment bureau Of the chamber Of
commerce and agriculture.

WHEAT DEMANDS RAISE
MEATLESS DAY ORDER
Nc Meatless Day in Montana for
Month Of April Object is
to Save More Wheat.

There will be no meatIess days in
Montana during the month of April.
State Food Administrator Atkinson is
today notifying all food administra-
ton men Of Montana to this effect.
The removal Of the meatless day rule
is due to a large run of stock on the
markets and difficulties Of transpor-
tation.
The removal order applies to all
kinds of meats. It means that there
will be no restriction on the use of
meat in any form as food during
April, except that hens and pullets
must not be killed for food purposes
during the egg production season.
Whether or not the meatless day
will be put back into effect during
May has not been signified by the ad.
m~inistrator. The need Of all kinds OF
food in Europe is greater than ever,
Mr.. Atkinson says, but wheat is the
most vital need Of the fighting forces
at present. It is believed that the
greater use of meat, together with
milk and potatoes, will effect a larger
saving of breadstuffs for the fighting
men in France.

Some Good Advice.

"Don't think too much Of your own
methods. Watch other peoples ways
and learn from them" This is good
advice, especially when bilious or con-
stipated. You will find many people
who use Chamberlain's Tablets for
these ailments with the best results,
and will do we'll to follow their ex-
ample.
