Mo. Farm Home Equipment


The city woman who gets all
out of sorts because her cook
and housekeeper have left, and
she is compelled to do her own
work in her modern home and
model kitchen, has a snap COM
pared with the average farm
wife. She can step to the tele-
phone and order nearly a whole
meal already cooked. She can
light the gas or turn on the cleo
tricity to warm it up. She can
eat it in a dining room made
comfortable by furnace heat.
She can-well, she simply has
little to do in comparison to the
farm wife.
The University of Missouri
College Of Agriculture thru the
home economies workers of the
Extension Service surveyed GAS
farm homes in several counties
this fall. The homes were not
chosen because of unusual con-
ditions prevailing in them. They
were selected as typical homes.
On these farms, which averaged
four miles from town, the usual
lines of work were followed. Of
the total number of farms visit
ed, 407 were occupied by their
owners. The homes averaged
five rooms.
Of the 645 homes, only q were
lighted by gas and % by electric
ity; the rest depended on kero-
sene lamps. More than 500 were
heated by stoves. How would
that suit the city housewife
Of these homes, 461 had no in
door water supply. In 1886 of
them the women had to carry
the water, which means that in
rs homes, perhaps, father or the
children carried the bucket. On
ly 62 had running water in the
house altho 1876 had sinks with
drain. More facts for the city
woman to think about. And here
are some figures disgraceful e.
ven to the farm: Only 397 farm
houses were provided with out
Of-door closets, 5 with chemical
closets, ID with indoor closet
and septic tank, and the rest of
them, 229, had none at all. A
bathtub served with running hot
and cold water was found in 81
homes. Twenty-one homes were
not screened.
These are some of the most
important items. Other figures
follow. Number of homes hav-

Farm News Service
By the University of Missouri College of Agriculture

Perhaps the city housewife
could worry along without these
conveniences. But how would
she like to start her days work
at four in the morning? On the
farms visited, IS women start
ed the day at that hour in sum-
mer and Sc in winter; 289 be.
gan at five in summer and 81 in
winter; 148 began at six in sum-
mer and 270 in winter; and 20
began at seven in the summer
and 1873 at that hour in winter.
In the summer the days work
on the farm ended at seven p.
M, for 73 women, at eight for
258, at nine for POT, and at ten
for 81. The others are still
working. The day ends a little
earlier in winter; 274 quit at
seven, $50 quit at eight, 81 quit
at nine, and Ia at ten p. m. The
farm wife gets an average of
one hour a day recreation, al
though it is not evident from the
survey just when the hour
comes. About 100 of the farm
wives had no free time during
The day for rest or recreation.
Maybe this explains why wom-
EMS clubs flourish in the city
and are almost unknown out
side of the corporate limits.
In spite Of all these disconcert-
ing figures, the farm wife is a
happy woman. More than half,
or $50 of the farms had automo-
biles, WHICH afforded them
means to get away from home
once in awhile to help their
neighbors who were busy.

In NIemoriam.

1t should be a source of pride to this
ANTIQUE burg that it could rear and
send forth such perfect flower OF
young American womanhood as Edith
Louise Grant. Born here, she was
carefully educated by her lamented
uncle, then the principal of the school;
an apt and responsive student, she was
the peer of the best Of those in VaSSar
and Bryn Mawr. Upon moving to
Washington, she found her proper
place among the literary and artist cir
Giles, where she met and was married TO
Louis P. Clephane, younger scion OF
one of the most influential families in
the capital, who were always faithful
to the ruling powers. An older brother
sacrificed his life early in the war work,
himself a acknowledgements IN
the Navy. His elder brother is senior
partner in the law firm with Judge Latl-
mer, of this place. Louis can well be
cited as shining example of the best
in our young American manhood, haV-
ing wealth without oStentatlon or
hauteur, trained, incisive intellect
without assertiveneSS or Self-concelt,
and an artist without any exuoerant
emotionalism and free from any OF the
views that often pertain thereto. Ten
nyson's delineaton of his friend Arthur
Halam might we'll apply to him.
1t was an ideal marriage, proving, as
did that of Robert Browning and his
wife. that the highest intellectual! and
artistic culture can mate and live hap
PLY together. Mrs. Clephane had the
gift of rare. delicate, personal beauty,
which it was the pride of her devoted
husband to emphasize by his artistic
prescriptions in dress and arrangement
OF color. Only a month ago my niece
Florence wrote me that she met cousin
Edith with her husband, and that she
was dressed as in picture, appear
ing dazzlingly beautiful, and both
seemed so radiant with happiness.
Her sudden taking away by death
gives a shock for which words can give
no explanation. We can only fall
back for comfort on the old classic
proverb, "Whom the gods love, die
Young" Perchance when the m
mortals vouchsafe US such perfect
flower of humanity, it must not be per-
mitted to wither in the decreptude OF
age so that our memory Of it shall be
that of eternal youth untouched by time
or decay.

To Bring Down High Cost oil
Backed BY the outraged pub.

Backed by the. outraged pub.
is determined to bring down TIN Isl
of the necessities Of life and put an
end 70 the shameful profiteering of pro-
ducers and dealers, President Wilson
and the leaders in Congress have start
ed the machinery which it is hoped
will soon remedy the conditions that
have become so intolerable. Every
department Of the government viii be
used, it is said, TO reduce the cost OF
living and investigations are afoot that
will lay bare the greediness and Illegal
methods of those who are manipulating
food products and other necessities.
President Wilson will present plan
to Congress BY which it is hoped some
relief may be obtained, and Attorney
General Palmer will use the resources
of the Department OF Justice to seek
out and prosecute hoarders OF food and
profteers of high and low degree. In
Congress- various propositions have
been advanced looking to specific
remedies in Different cases. Remedial
legislation, however, is almost hope
less in Congress. For instance,
strenuous attempts have been made in
the House this week to get before that
body a resolution TO probe into the
exorbitant prices of shoes. II has
been blocked by the New England
members, whose constituents control
the shoe manufacturing business.
When il comes to investigating the
meat packers, their friends from
Chicago and Kansas City prevent the
facts from being exposed. So with
cotton in the South and the products
of the far West-each commodity must
be protected and its friends in Congress
see TO it that its profits and its privi-
leges are not disturbed
There's one encouraging sign in the
general gloom caused by the constant
~ increasing cost of living: In Chicago
on Tuesday there seemed to be good
deal OF nervousness over the activity
of the various Departments of the gov
eminent concerning the high prices OF
commodities and the growing discon-
tent of the people, and on the Board of
Trade there was a very considerable
tumble in prices. Corn dropped 10
cents a buShel, making a total of -
cents within the past week; pork and
pork products also we're lower and
hogs fell off a dolla' a hundred.
II the spotlight cf publicity could
only be turned on thu dealers in food
stuffS and other necessities, showing
just what each handler of these COM
moditfes is getting out of them, there
would be certain relief. The trouble
is, it's mighty hard TO get at the truth.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, an that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inHamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when is is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and the tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru the blood on the mucous surfaces
OF the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured BY Halls Ca
