They also serve who only stand
and wait" wrote Milton in his fa-
nous sonnet on his blindness, which,
in the opinion of many critics. is the
finest sonnet in our language.
That it has been quoted oftener,
paraphrased and parodied more than
any other English sonnet, goes
without saying. There is a recent
burlesque on the great poem deal
ing with the subject of girls who
have no definite occupation in life
but that of waiting for some man
to marry them. The last three lines
are:
thousands at their beckoning fee,
And post DER land and ocean with
out rest;
They mostly get the mitt' who sit
around and wait"
There may be mattresses" to-day,
but their number has decreased sur
prisingly in the last generation or so.
Fifty years ago a girl who was not
married at twenty-five was frankly
regarded as a failure, and one has
only to read the life of Florence
Nightingale to realize how completely
young women were held in the tolls
of the notion that an early marriage
to any one was preferable to remain
ing single.
When Florence Nightingale began
to broach the subject of professional
nursing, relatives and friends
brought forward young men to try
and persuade her to marry. For
the young Englishwoman was
pretty and rich and of excellent
social position. and why she wanted
to study nursing instead of getting
married no one could understand
least of all her family. But, as
every one knows, she stuck fast to
her purpose and was the means OF
saving the English army in the
Crimea.
When Jane Austin began to write
her delightful novels she felt obliged
as a concession to public opinion, to
keep her work basket handy, an6
when any one entered the room she
slipped the precious manuscript under
bit of sewing. For in those days il
was considered strong minded" fol
a young woman to know how tC
write. She might be weak minded
or light-headed to her hearts con
tent, and no one ever thought any
thing about it, but strong minded
never.

MUSCULAR MUSIC

Thank goodness. now that the
Hun has shown himself in his true
color our ears are no longer shat
tered with the noisy music of Richard
Strauss"
The speaker was Handel Booth,
secretary of the Denver Philhar-
monic Society.
'I know a chap" he went on, "who
said to his music teacher:
professor. I'd like to take up the
study of Strauss with you. What will
it cost?"

professor, will depend on how many

Dear Miss Fairfax:

Gated, and not considered bad lcok-
ing. 1 have some boy friends, also
respectable, who always seem glad
to see me, yet when they go out
with some girls they never ask me
to go. When they make gatherings
or parties l am never invited. Why is
it When they become acquainted
with other young men they invite
the latter to their parties and intro
duce them to the girls, yet ! am
never introduced to any of them.
They never even ask me to go along
when they go to places of amuse-
ment.
Now, Miss Fairfax, I like my
friends and | know they like me. but
why is it they never ask me to go
to any of their parties nor introduce
me to any of their girls? Whenever

What the Boil Weevl Does.

J. G. Black, of Bamberg county,
tells The Bamberg Herald that in
Beaufort county, where he has just
been visiting, he learned of one farm
er who harvested this past season
165 pounds of seed cotton from four
acres of land, the same four acres last
year having produced four bales of
cotton. Another Beaufort farmer
made this season eight bales of cot
ton on twenty-six acres, the same
twenty-six acres, which are the finest
farm lands, having yielded ffty-two
bales last year. The change, of course,
was wrought by the boil weevil. Mr..
Black, having seen the pest at work,
has no doubt about it's destructive
ness. The unfortunate thing is that
so few farmers will believe until they
see.-News and Courier.

industry. He now understands why
the call of the cotton seed has been
heard by the best men of the country;
why the product finds welcome
in the best society and why the
Southland should be proud of this
the greatest of all great products.
He now knows why scientists and
men of high estate declare cotton
seed products to be superior to ami
NAL fats, and even also of the sister
vegetable oils of the Orient.
There is another reason why the
South rejoices in this product, aside
from the fact that it is helping so
substantially to build civilization
throughout the world. 1t pours more
than s5O0,O00,O0O.OO into the cof-
fers of the South every year.
In view of this, is it amiss to call
this wonder product: "a pot of
Gold."-J. C. Weaver in The Oil Mill
Gazetteer.

Mothers Day
To-day is Mothers Day.


Make motherhood safe for all
women" is the Mothers Day appeal
of the Children's Bureau, United
States Department of Labor.
Year by year $4,000 mothers die
III the United States, and many
other women suffer illness or life
long impairment of health from
causes connected with childbirth.
Modern science believes that these
deaths and illnesses coulS be in
large measure prevented. No better
resolution could be taken for Moth
er's Day, according to the Children's
Bureau, than TO make universally
available, and universally desired as
well, adequate care for mothers.
Such care is out of the reach of
many mothers at the present time
IN town and in the country. The re-
suit Is seen in the mortality figures
Inc United States has a higher
maternal death rate than any other
Of the principal countries except
spain Or Switzerland. Sweden has
The lowest rate.

Sixty-four "Votes for
Women" in the Senate

According to data up to this week
there are sixty-four Senators
known to be for the Federal suf
frage amendment. One of the new
Senators has just declared himself
publicly on the matter.
He is Senator William J. Harris,
of Georgia. Senator Pat Harri-
son, of Mississippi; Senator Henry
W. Keyes, Of New Hampshire, and
Senator Nat B. Dial, of South Car
DINA, are still doubtful And none
of the Senators of the last Con
gress who voted against the amend
ment has indicated a change of
heart.
Among Democratic woman suf-
fragists there is a strong hope that
Senator Harrison will vote for the
Federal amendment. Senator Har-
rison owes his election to President
Wilson, it is generally understood,
and it is believed that he will show
his gratitude for the Presidents sup
port by voting for woman suffrage
among other things.
Another vote from the Democrats
hoped for by many is that of John
Sharp Williams. 1t is known that
Senator Williams is not fundament-
ally against woman suffrage. He
based his mo- in the last Congress
upon the failure of his amendment
to the amendment, prohibiting the
voting of negro women. Suffragists
of the Democratic party believe
there is a possibility of his turning.
A recent woman suffrage move in
Georgia has significance nationally
The city Democratic committee in
Atlanta gave women primary suf-
frage for the coming city election.
Only one man voted against the
move. 1t is said that the sentiment
shown by this local move may affect
the vote of some of the Senators.

crops, punching vegetables for mar

For orchard work women have
been especially successful according
to Mr.. Findlay. Sorting fruit, pick
ing apples and berries, packing fruit
in boxes and wrapping, labelling
boxes, keeping records, pruning and
grating are among the tasks he
lists foN them in this line.
General farm work finds women
running tractors, feeding stock,

and delivering it, harvesting. keep

Films have been taken of Land

in great numbers. Those who have
time, of course, will be sent to train
ing camps Or to regular units to
work in various sections of the
country. But the evening classes in

course for the girls who keep up
their work all summer.
In England the Land Army has
sent out a call for 5000 more girls.

Board of Agriculture in England,

She said that it was of great i'm

of the work of the farms in Eng
land this year.
