The Case of
the Farm Woman
From a Speech by Mrs. L. Bigelow
at the Recent National Confer
ence on Rural Education at
Sioux Falls, S. D.

Years ago. a survey of country life
conditions brought out with startling
appeal that isolation was at that time
the greatest hardships Of the woman.
Much has been done since that day and
the isolated farm is fast disappear
ing. The automobile and its result,
better, roads, have taken this woman
to neighbors or brought them to her
door. Isolation, even in the sand hills,
the bad lands and the cut-over lands
IS rapidly being conquered and then
the next survey developed that the
farm woman's need were largely econ
annie. When she was no longer alone,
she must enter social life. Her nome
must be, not only comfortable, but
must reflect her taste as a woman.
She and her children must be clothed
as others with whom she mingled, and
so we find her realizing that the labor
income her husband receives after the
farm-grown part of their food and
their shelter is provided IS not enough
to do this.
Economies and a better balance OF
farm practices have now increased tnt
average income and now the farm wo
man begins to take her proper piac'
in her community.
There is one handicap, however. Sn'

Swift Enters Denial.

enlcago, Oct. 16.-Lous F. Swift
 president of Swift and company, to- oay issued a statement denying the charges that the five big packers bv enlarglng the scope of their business threaten to control the wholesale grocery trade of the south which are contalned Tn the latest report of the federal trade commission.
 MT. MT. Swlft's statement in part:
 The packing industry is again put Tn wrong light by the latest install ment of the series of attempts on the part of the federal trade commission to scare the American people, into the belief that the large packers are gettlng control of the food supply of 1 the country.
 Tn the first place, the packers do not control anything. Swift and with all other packers in the pur- chase and sale of every product bought and sold.
 "The charge that the five packers have divided the field, each special lzlng on certain lines, is absurd. Swift and company handles only such products as logically result from be- m gin the packing business and such other products as can be handled ef- flclency through it's sales organiza- tlon and refrigerating equipment. The net result is the lowering of selling costs, more direct marketing from producer to consumer and better service to the public. This state ment we stand ready to prove to any impartial tribunal.
 There is no ground for the claim that the large packers bid fair to dominate the wholesale grocery trade. Swift and company sales of grocery products amount to only a little over one per cent of the total wholesale grocery business. The five large packers together handle not to exceed three per cent.
 "The trade commissions figures showing the percentage of poultry, butter and eggs handled by the large packers are greatly exaggerated.
 We have issued figures based on department of agriculture reports handles only about six per cent of showing that Swift and company the total quantity of these products sold in the United States.
 There is no combination or agree ment with other packers in the handling of these products or to di- vide territory in their purchase or sale.
 T believe that the public is begin ming to learn that it cannot rely on the prejudiced and sensational charges made by the federal trade commission and that this commission is doin gthe country a positive injury by stirring up discontentment and misunderstanding

England's Financial
 Situation Serious

Edinburgh, Wednesday, Oct. 16.- Sir Donald MacLean, M. F., in g speech tonight, said that England's present financial situation is most appealing. The deficit for the first six months of the present fiscal year, he said, is 281, 100000 pounds exceeding by 5O,0O0,0Oo pounds thg deficit for the whole year as esti- mated by Austen Chamberlain, cham cellor of the exchequer. The latter, Sir Donald added, would have to borrow 0O,00O,000 pounds to balance his accounts and this situation, he contended, is serious enough to war rant an ad interim budget.

London, Oct. 16.-King Alfonso of Spain is coming to England mainly on account of his health, which has been a matter of concern to his phy- sicians for some time, according to the Mirror.
 Referring to his internal troubles in Spain, which it says may be traced to the growth of republicanism, this newspaper says:
 "Only Alfonso's wonderful per- sonality and disregard of personal danger has saved the situation. Most of the unrest has originated or has been fomented from South American republics"

exchange intends this to be wide open market with competitive bid- ding, but we cannot make it so un- less the farmer helps us. We can- not compel the street buyers to bid on cotton. If the farmer will take his samples to the different offices, he will get bids according to the grade, and the prevailing market price. He then can sell to the highest bidder. The grower can get as much or more for his cotton in Pine Bluff than else where, if he will obtain bids."
 1t is generally admitted that bet ter marketing system must be pro- vided here, and the Cotton Exchange is working to that end with the view of increasing the income of the cot ton growers of this section, as well as bringing to Pine Bluff the hun dreds of thousands of dollar now go- ing elsewhere.

Hotel Monterey Sold

"
A deal that had been on for some
time, between II. P. Patterson, pro-
prietor of Hotel Monterey, and ]. c..
Carwell of Mcdowell, was closed on
Wednesday and Mr.. Carwell became
the owner of this splendid property.
The sale is of interest to this sec
ton, more especially because of the
outlook for a great highway through
the county, which will increase tour
list travel many fold, and success or
failure of the new management
means much to Monterey and High
land.
Due to i'll health, Mr.. and Mrs.
Patterson have been obliged to limit
service and patronage, turning down
frequent applications from various
sources, hence the hotel business has
never been fairly tested from mon
etary standpoint.
Mr.. Patterson's plans are not
known, but Monterey folks will be
glad if they decide to- remain here,
AS to the new management, while
county people and having no real ex-
perience in hotel life, Mr.. and Mrs.
Carwell are known to be energetic,
industrious people, and their friends
are those interested in the future of
the hotel will wish them every sue
cess. Possession will be given in a
few days, it is understood.
