The stenographer going to work in her silk dress,
her pretty shoes, hat and silk stockings. her well
dressed hair and manicured nails is queen OF
Sheba beside the average farmers wife.
The farmers wife holds down not only one
job but dozen. She is wife, mother, cook, baker,
butter maker and general household economist She
is up at or 5 o'clock in the morning and her day
seldom ends before 10 at night.
H. for one, greatly rejoice in the farmers recent
prosperity. rejoice not much for the farmer,
though he works hard enough for all he ges as for
the farmer wife. | am hoping that 81 wheat will
encouage the farmer to loosen his purse strings and
divide generously with his wife Heretofore the
farmer wife was always economzing pitilessly to
help swell the fund to build new barn, buy a new
piece of farm machinery or purchase a new breed
of stock.
The thing believe that hurts the farm wo-
man is the fact that she is able to enjoy few of
the nicetes of lfe the little details of dress and
grooming which matter of course with women
her face with cold cream2 If she did her husband
would probably begin to suspect insanity and tc
consider seriously having her taken before lunacy
commission. AS for having her nails manicured
what would be the use when there are vegetables to
clean and dishes to wash for a big family three
ines a day? A shopgirl or stenographer has an
~nnual vacation on pay and free from duty. Not
SO the farmers wife. She has forgotten the mean
ing of that phrase free from duty, if indeed she
ever knew what it meant.
| While we trying to all the labor evils
| n America, why not concentrate a little the
farmers wife, who never has a dollar she can call
her unless it be the batter and egg money, and
sometimes not that. For the very reason that
her wife love, her mother love and her sense oi
duty will not permit her to even think of walking
out like the steel men, the actors the street car
men and policemen she ought to be receiving the
greatest consideration and a fair division of tLe
profits

that he laid his hand on mine and

Mexico City, Aug. General For

sior, asked to be relieved from his
military command as a result of the
attack made some weeks ago On the
State capital Ciudad victori, by a

penetrated into the center of the city
committed various depredations and
fled, after ernptying the peYfitentiary
of all prisoners. In his defense, Gen.
Gen. Zuazua declared he had been
given too few men to defend the city
