The farmers keep their heads when
all Others fly off the track. We ask
city workers to ponder moment
what might happen if the farmers
should do what the workers are do
matchmaking shorter hours and
higher pay. The farmers are their
own bosses so they would not have
to quarrel with anybody, They could
hold out on strike until they got
good and ready, for they can feed
themselves.
You working city fellows, suppose
for moment that the farmers adopt
ed the eight hour day. 1t would cut
down production at least one-half.
Suppose they also set price on their
labor and their products based on an
eight hour basic scale, Where would
you get your food? Only the rich
could buy it at all, for the price
would be prohibitive to men on strike.
II the cost of living is too high now,
how will lessened production affect
il? How will increased cost of pro-
duction bring prices down? You live
now because the farmers have gone
on producing. working nearer SIX
teen hours day than eight hours.
You can buy food because the farm
ers have not gone ON strike. have
not ceased to produce, have not cor
nered the market and said I'VE de-
mand so much for our products or
We won't work.

Public Road BetteIment Will Help
Land Values.

Wherever public roads are i'm
proved the general tendency is for
the value of adjoining farm lands
to increase, This is a practical con-
sideration which promoters of better
highways point out should not be
overlooked. for Il means that money
wisely spent on the thoroughfares is
an investment paying good returns.
Investigations by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture show that the
value of land adjoining certain high
ways experienced marked increases
in value after improvements in the
roads were made. BY comparison
with similar land on roads which had
not been improved it was manifest
that the betterment of the highways
was a principal factor in the rise OF
land prices.

Good Roads Aid Marketing.

The farmer interested in hauling
his produce to market in the most
economical fashion can not afford
to overlook the benefits derived from
good roads. Investigation before and
after the improvement of certain
highways shows that the cost per
ten-mile was practically cut in half
by reason of the betterment of the
road. In other words, good roads
mean big reduction in that part of
overhead which covers hauling-and
hauling of some sort is being done
practically the year round.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-''My hus-

charges his wife witt knitting all the
time and refusing to go about with
him. He charges that afterward Mrs.
Ralston deserted him.

Mrs Ralston said. ..Hy husband and

out a great deal and while did a great
deal of knitting for the Red Cross
certainly did not neglect him."

How Women Can Help
Pointed Out by Wife
OF Col. Arthur Woods

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The pres
lent development and the future safet,
of America depend on the wisdom ant
poise of Its women, declares Mrs. Ar
thur Woods. wife of the assistant &c
the secretary OF war. Cod. Woods
heads the war departments work in
finding jobs for ex-soidiers.
Women the world over today are
facing. side by side with their men. the
great problem OF reconstruction says
Mrs. Woods.
Mrs. Woods is watching with keen
interest the war departments efforts
to solve the unemployment problems
of Americas 100000 ex-service men.
She is keenly aware, in this as in
other of her husbands duties. of the
human factors involved in economic
and social problems. When her hus-
band was police commissioner of New
York City. she was known in an incon-
spicuous way for her understanding of
the psychology of the men of the po-
lice department in relation to their
home life and their dependents. And
now she offers these warnings and vi
tai suggestions to the wives and
mothers of returned soldiers and sal
lors.
"In America the woman's direct pow
er in guiding the nation has been re-
ceNtly greatly augmented-and with
this has come a general quickening of
her sense of national responsibility
She will now have to shoulder many
new burdens One of these is to take
a big share in the work OF re-estab-
fishing our discharged service men in
civil life.
I'VE all feel sense of obligation to-
ward the men who have fought for us
and we want to do all in our power
to make those men happy and success
fui. but do we appreciate the full sig
nificance and Importance of this work?
america can have no stronger
guaranty against the spread of insidi-
Gus doctrines OF revolution and pphea-
val than that of cohtented, yet. and
cheerful frame of mind. held generally
throughout the country.
Every American woman must real
ize this clearly. for on her WILL to a
great extent, devolve the duty of main
tanning this attitude of mind"
