Be Brave, Ye Women, Enter the Kitchen

Margaret Deland, the, well-known
writer says in the January Woman
Home Companions
This is a brave world just now, and
it shames us to admit, even to ourselves
how we hate to face some domestic
guns; we hate to ask about left-ov
dropped eggs; and still more do we funk
the going back to the good sense of
mothers and grandmothers. and do our
own orderingl There is, however, one
thing that would help us poor craven
housekeepers immensely, namely, "a com
munity effort'l If groups of women
the womens clubs, the women of par
isb, the women of a street-would get
together and pledge each other their
moral support, the domestic situation
would be immensely helped; we would
cease to be bullied by our kitchens. Once
let Mary realize that not only Mrs. A. is
mean, and Mrs. b. 'snoops around in the
refrigerator and Mrs C. gives We call
down about yer potato parings, but that
the whole alphabet of housekeepers will
not permit waste, Mary. too, and all her
kind, will finally fall into line.
''You know the fable of the old man
and his sons and the sticksf The single
stick was easily broken. The single
housekeeper is easily cowed The fagot
is unbreakable! If we women. all to-
2ether. insist upon moral, social eco
nomical course, our kitchens will Join

The Third Liberty Loan.

There is no escaping the significance o
the statement by Secretary McAdo'
early this week 60 the effect that thu
third Liberty loan was TO be ofere,
sometime after Feb l." II has an ON
nous sound. Not that the loan itself il
disturbing. That is expected this one
aud more like il. But February is cold
month here in the North, and while tn,
secretary doesn't say the loan il coming
in February, he does manage to give the
impression that, in the words Of the old
almanac. about this time We must look
for il. Imagine canvassing for Liberty
loan in weather like that of the last
week.
Well, forcwancd is forearmcd. Know.
ing what We are likely TO be "up
against il is for MS to prepare Tor It,
And the New Hampshire executive com
mittee is setting us all good example
by getting TO work early.
The creation of this committee, Il Will
be remembered, marks a departure in
Liberty loan procedure. Heretofore the
work in this state has been directed at
the federal reserve bank at Boston. We
have had local and district committees,
of course, but the thing hasn't been su-
per,ised by New Hampshire men Now
we have the whole job in our own
hands. under the Liberty loan committee
of the federal reserve bank, of course.
and our own men are already planning
their campaign.
In all probability the outlines of that
plan will soon be made public. local com
mittees named, and the machinery set in
motion for preparing the ground for the
big drive. And because il is to be big
drive for a big sum, and also because II
is to be time OF year when driving Is
difficult business, there is no time to be
lost in getting town and district organi-
cations into working shape.
Assuming that the executive commit
tee will soon have its working state or
ganization complete, and that we shall
have our accustomed spell OF mild wealth
er in January, the preliminary work
ought to be well in hand when the time
for the actual canvass arrives. That,
however. is in great part up to the local
or unofficial - bankers.
business men, manufacturers, editors, the
,lergy, the school teachers, everybody in
public or semi-public life everywhere, ev
nrybody possessing any influence for
good.
The loan will probably be large one.
II is more than likely to come in cold
weather. The state has not been eompre
lensively combed under the now discard |
ID method of handling it, This time it is |
ourposed to comb it from end to end |
'ity, town, village and hamlet-and prob
IDLY in wild, wintry month. Obviously |
he thing cannot be done right unless
borough preparatory work is done well
lhead of the actual drive. Let us all
axe hold of this thing with the eXecu
i've committee and make the third lib
rty loan a success in New Hampshire,
e the weather what it may.-Manches-
er Union.
