prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
For several years Uncle Sam,
through the state relations service of
the United States department of ag-
riculture has been sending home-dem-
onstration agents into the highways
and byways TO help housewives with
their problems. Approximately LOO
of these trained workers are in city
or country and the help they have
been able to give is represented by a
long list of activities varied to suit
the section in which the agent works.
Some of their work, such as helping
women retrim hats, may seem petty,
but in the aggregate, the good from
the work of the hOme-demonstration
agents is believed to be tremendous.
Work of Many Kinds.
In addition to the universal prob
lens of feeding the family, baking
prize-winning bread, canning vege-
tables, coaxing hens to lay, trimming
hats, making fireless cookers, and
bathing the baby properly, there has
been the work growing out of war con-
dltions-the use of substitutes for
wheat, meat fats, and sugar, how to
save fuel, learning to make and use
cottage cheese, Americanization thrift,
and loan campaigns, salvage of cloth
ing, Belgian relief, and host of
other activities.
Guided by the home demonstration
agents, many women have learned to
can and store all kinds of food; to
prepare well-balanced one-dish meals
that save time and strength; and to
rearrange their kitchens and add Ia
bor-saving machines; to establish COM
munity laundries, canneries, drying
plants, and storage houses. In one
county where there was no man coun-
ty agent, the home demonstration
agent planned and conducted a seed
corn campaign, took the labor census,
kept the records of the thrasher rings,
and published Farm Bureau News.

which they learned some of the stitches
and the problems of hat making
They worked very industriousy on
this, for we had agreed we would
not use new material until they had
learned how to use the old. In the
meantime we sent to Los Angeles for
consignment of millinery supplies
on approval. These we got at cost,
thus providing the material for becom-

expense.

and set the hat above it, and she did

to confer with the school teacher and
later to assist In making plans for a
hot dish for the school lunch. The
help given during the flu epidemic

The over tender mother lets ner

example, the employer is saying that
he will not buy any of the commodity
called labor, because conditions are
not favorable, just as he is saying that
he will not buy any of the commodity
called steel because the price is too
high. This is all right for the steel;
it will keep. But it is rough on that
commodity, the workman, who has to
eat every day.
When the Workman finds himself
in this present situation-that he is
willing and anxious to work, but
cannot find work to do-the theory
that is preached at him from all
sides that the interests of labor and
capital are identical. sounds rather
hollow to him. 1t is all right to say
that labor and capital have mu-
tuaI interest in producing the great.
est possible amount of goods with a
given effort, and should cooperate
to that end; but when there are a
million workmen looking for a
chance so to cooperate, and they
are unable to find it. they begin to
doubt the value of the statement. 1t
is at such a time that the preach
ings of European ultra-radicals are
most apt to get a hearing from the
American workman. Unemployment,
therefore, is at the bottom of the
trouble. This country cannot af-
ford to leave a million of it's work
men unemployed.
