The WOmnn'n Ilurcau.

Miss Cora DeVault, county home
demonstration agent, sent here by the
extension department of the college Of
agriculture, University OF Missouri.
for home economics work for the wo-
men OF Holt county, reported for duty
the first Of this ninth. Miss DEFAULT
came very highly recommended and
our home women feel that they are TO
be congratulated ON securing the serv-
ices Of one SO well fitted TO serve them
In such a responsible position.
Our home bureau was organized
here the latter part Of June. and Il
was then understood that all counties
organized before the first Of July were
70 receive their county agents under
the appropriation bill at that time In
effect. The qualifications for the po-
sition are so high, however, that II
tokes some time to find women TO fill
the positions, SO the home bureau here
were patiently waiting for the posi-
ton to be filled by the college Of ag-
riculture. There were some changes in
those in charge Of the office at COL
umbia. however, which held matters
up, and word was received here thrt
the women would have TO wait for
their agent until the new appropria-
ton bill berame a law-that Is, when
congress got ready to act upon Il.
Word was Immediately and emphatic
ally sent to Columbia that We were
promised an agent under the old ap-
prorriation. The result was that Miss
DEFAULT was sent here Immediately.
Tho impression seems to prevail in
some parts of the county that Miss
Defaults work would be principally
demonstrations In canning and bread
making. This Is not true. There are
spec,al features of her work In sea-
son. But she Is sent here to bring to
Of the entire course in domestic
science. Miss Default is ready To go
into any home or community to help
the women with their problems. The
government has sent her out to make
the work Of the women on the farms,
especially, easier. Miss Default was
raised on farm, and her experience Is
practical.

Character Portrayed In Condition of Home Back Yards In the Front and Mary Ann Houses In the Back

outlining the little yard and a hedge which is always trimmed beautifully and spic and span in appearance rounds out the perfect whole. It is all just as neat and clean and in order as the front yard Of this particular home, and you could ask anybody dressed in their finest satin gown and high-heeled French boots to go out in the yard and sit down on the lawn and never have a thought of their clothes or boots being spoiled.
 Neglected back yards are a pest and an eyesore to any community; yards in which nothing flourishes but weeds and debris and filth.
 The "clean-up" campaign waged by many southern cities during the past few years has done a great deal toward the elimination of untidy back yards, for which, heaven be praised, for in cities where real estate is very valuable and few can afford large lots, humanity is huddled up so close together that each and every individual home maker and home owner should do his or her level best to keep sanitary, decent looking and respectable back yards as well as front yards.
 Let no one consider that his duty as a good and loyal citizen is complete who puts up only a clean front yard to the world; it is really the back yard, after all which reveals character, and so by caring for the back yard one is also caring for character, so let's get busy improving both.
