WOMEN NOT WARRIORS

DEATH" takes pessimistic view Of
the warriar attributes of her sex
women will never make soldiers,
she says. "They are too undisciplined
They cannot be organized. And they
show the white feather"
Women not good soldiers! Are the
deeds of the Amazons merely legen-
dairy? Were those latter-day Amazons
of Brazil, whose brave resistance of
the Spanish conqueror gave its name
to the great river, mythical also? At
least men will continue to believe in
the capacity Of individual women, a
Boadicea, Joan of Arc or Molly
Pitcher, for martial glory.
If there were no soldierly qualities
in the Russian women's battalion, If
all that the world heard and saw in
plCtuIc SupplcillchtS anu DciicNCu VI
the courageous patriotism of these re-
solute women, banded together to
save their country from Prussianism,
was fabulous, then indeed has mascu-
line credulty been imposed upon and
the question of suffrage based on
fighting as well as voting remains
where 1t was.
Unfattering as 1t is, the Russian
woman commanders disaparagement
of her sex as unl\ilitary is no doubt
true. Yet women ave no occasion to
feel ashamed on that account. Their
record Of war service is glorious
enough. Fighting Is not their mission
and no man desires 1t to be. But in
all the remedial work of war and In
whole-hearted devotion to the cause
for which their sons and brothers and
husbands are fighting they have
shown in heroism and self-sacrilice
unmatched in the history of warfare.

CHEESE MAKING BRINGS PROS.
PERITY

Washington Cheese making Is
Transforming many isolated noun
famous districts Of the southeastern
States into prosperous farming COM
munities. For many years the re-
moteness of these districts and the
lack of ready communication with the
outside world has retarded agricul-
tural development. An interesting
story Of the rapid development of
small cooperative cheese factories
which, with the improvement of cows,
appears to point the way to financial
and industrial independence, is told
in Yearbook Separate 1877 of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
The first cooperative factory in this
section was put into operation in the
spring of 1915 In mountainous sec
ton of North Carolina. On June 9Th
a small building only IA feet by 16
feet built and equipped at cost of
only $500 opened for business. Be-
fore the end of the year this modest
factory returned to its patrons al
most $1,000, a net gain of more than
$1,000, because the total income for
the sale of butter in the community
previous to the establishment of the
cheese factory averaged less than
$500. About six weeks after it was
established another factory, built and
equipped at a cost of 1915, was start
ed in a neighboring community and
was conducted with equally good re-
suits.
The first factories were established
with difficulty, because of lack of in
terest among the farmers, but after
the profits began to roll in it was i'm
possible to meet the demand for as
sistance and no solicitation was need
ed to induce the people to put up new
factories. The first year the factories
were opened, about $4,000 worth of
cheese was made and sold. In 1916
twenty-siX factories were established
in North Carolina, Virginia, Tonnes
see and West Virginia. During that
year 100000 worth of cheese was
made in North Carolina alone, and the
thirty-four factories then in operation
in the States mentioned produced
cheese which sold for more than
$125,000. The cost of operation, says
the publication, added to what the
farmers would probably have receiv-
ed from the milk if there had been no
cheese factories, would amount to
about one-fourth of the gross receipts.
Therefore, three-fourths of this
amount, or a little more than 100000
was newly created wealth.
The effect of the increased income
from the mountains farms has
brought about a higher standard of
living. Farmhouses have been re-
modelled; roads improved; better farm
equipment introduced, and more in
terest has been taken in educational
work of all kinds. Though sIle high
grade cows have been purchased and
brought into the section, the greatest
progress in dairy improvement is
shown by the better care and more
skillful feeding of the cows already at
hand. The introduction of cheese fac
tories, the publication says, is only the
first step forward, but they furnish
the financial support for the move
ment which is slowly. but certainly,
bringing prosperity to these southern
mountain districts.

NEW BIRTH LAW EFFECTIVE
JAN. 1.
Births During 1917 Still to he Re-
DOrted to Assessor as Before.

The last General Assembly Of lowe
enacted new law as to registration
of births, which law will be effective
January j, 1918. One of the provis.
ions of the new law is that the clerk
of the district court shall inform the
people in, general in his county as t.
the new law. This newspaper space
order that the readers of this paper
may learn off the new law, if thew
have not already been informed.
All persons interested are asked
to read the following two sections
section 5. That for the e. complete sp1ss
purposes the clerk of the district
court of each county shall be the
county registrar, and it shall be his
duty to inform all physicians, mid
wives, should there be any midWives.
and the people in general in his
county that all births must be prop
erly reported to the clerk of the dis
ed in section six CD of this act.
Sec g. That a certificate of birth
of the standard form adopted by the
United States Census Bureau shall
be made out by the physician, mid
wife, or other person attending the
birth OF every chlld porn in the STATE
of Iowa or in default of such person
by the parent, householder, super
intendent of an institution, or other
responsible person, and filed with
the clerk of the district court in the
county where the child is born with
in ten .(0) days after birth. In
case the child is not named, the clerk
of the district court shall deliver a
supplementary blank for renort OF
given name to the person filing the
certificate, to be filled c''' and re-
turned as soon as. the child shall be
named, and which shall be attached
to the birth certificate of the child
which has been previously reported
and not named.
The difference between IT," new
law and the old law is principally
that under the old law births are re-
ported to the assessors and under
the new law the birth is certified to
the clerk of the district court. with
in ten days after the birth. All
births during the year, 1917, are to
be reported to the assessors as here
tofore
In order to facilitate the work, it
is desired that the child in question
be named before the certificate is
sent in. The record will then be
complete and no supplemental report
