Dear Mamma:

Wait till you see my kitchen!
Henry says I'd better put a
cot in it so as not to be sepa-
rated from my beloved pots
and pans, but secretly he adj
mires it too. Henry is what
in olden times would have
been called n good trencher-
man." and he may be glad |
am what is known as an "old-
fashioned wife," just so long
as nobody says | look the part
on the street.
Fortunately for us, there
are several big sales going on
at Wanamaker's just at the
time we are looking for things
for the house. One of them is
the Housewares Sale, and if
we had been a week later get
ting a home I'd have missed it.
The Housewares Store" as
they call it, occupies about
two-thirds of the Fourth
Floor, and you never in your
life saw such an array of
kitchen and other household
utensils. They are continually
|! getting in the newest labor
saving devices and improve
ments on old methods. The
| fundamentals of housekeeping
may be the same as they used
to be. but the equipment has
certainly changed.
I bought a kitchen cabinet,
| for example. that is really a
beautiful piece of furniture
and that will save me count
less steps.
The refrigerator | got is a
veritable "ice palace" COM
pared to the one you had when
| was a girl.
Then l laid in a supply of
aluminium cooking utensils
and brushes and what not. |
thought I'd better get every
thing | needed while the prices
were down. You see, during
September you can get house
wares for from 10 to so per
cent less than they will be next
month, and when you have a
lot of things to get, as | did,
the saving amounts to some
thing.
A soon as we r fixed |
want you and Father to visit
US. Pm afraid you'll be dis
satisfied with your own
kitchen, though, after seeing
mine.
Your loving daughter,
HENRIETTA.
P. 81 see they say the
Kaiser is going crazy. He had

But there is no difference between the prices of these excellent

culture. calls upon the farmers to co.
operate by furnishing information In
definite form and by making sug-
gestions as to needs and how to meet
them.
Mere complaining OF the farm lab
or situation will serve no useful pur-
pose" he says. "The labor problem
is difficult to handle at best without
the unrest and apprehension created
by writings and utterances of uni
formed persons.
THE fullest cooperation by the
farmers themselves will tend to
smooth out some of the rough places
Suggestions will be gladly received
for the true state or affairs can be
determined only from farmers them
selves. County Agricultural Councils
or other organizations In counties
having no county agents, will gather
this information from every part OF
the State. Blanks will be sent out
in time to reach every farmer In Ore
gon. The questionable should be
filled out and completely answered IL
the information Is to be of the great
est value to the Government in plan
ming for the future.
MANY ask why such a survey IL
necessary, but 1t Is the only way In
formation on the labor needs can be
gathered as a foundation on which
