wouldn't it be fine for Susan if she
could just turn faucet and let the
water run whenever she needs it in
stead of having to grab pail and in
all kinds of weather, and at all kinds
Of announcement times, run out to the
cistern and the well, fill the pail and
carry it back in again."
That set me to thinking what | had
read somewhere not to long ago, that
the average woman on the farm lifts
about ton of water day, counting
wash days and all. Of course, she
does it little at o time, and so does
not notice it as if she were doing it all
at once, but it takes just that much of
the strength that she needs so badly
for other hings.
! have read of water systems for
the farm, but do not know just how
expensive they may be, nor how prac-
tical, but as luck would have it, my
neighbor, Mrs. Jones', came over in the
evening and she was telling me about
her niece who lives out in the country
and who has had sink and little
hand pump put into her kitchen and
just saves herself world of steps
and lifting. The sink drain runs into
covered barrel, and the whole affair
was quite inexpensive. ,-
think she said the pump cost $3.50.
the sink 81, the piping % lie a foot
and the tile for the drain if you run
1t underground, IS cents foot, so you
see the whole thing would be quite in
expensive, and my! what comfort and
convenience in having water right in
your kitchen all the time.
| tell you, Susan, you have a Coun-
ty Home Demonstration Agent sent
into the county for the purpose of
helping the women with their home
problems, big and little. The Govern
ment sends her there Just for that
thing. Call her, Miss Tucker, up
(her telephone number is 445, Farm
ington) or drop her card, and she
will be glad to give you lot of in
formation about this matter. She
knows of two women in the Copenha-
gen district, Mrs. Cy Denman, and
Mrs. Charlie Westmeyer, and one in
the Independence neighborhood, Mrs.
Will Counts, who have had such
pumps put into their kitchens. If you
are interested, get John to drive you
over some day. They will be glad to
tell you just how much it cost to have
them put in and all about it.
1t is getting rather late and to-
morrow is a busy day. know all your
days are busy but do take time to
write to nle when you can.

WEEKLY NEWS NOTES
(By the County Agent.)
E. G. Haywood of Ellington Purchases
Hereford Male from VIM. London
Pennington

hereford Male from WIN. LOIuoH
Pennington
Mr.. E. G. Haywood of Ellington,
Mo-, recently purchased an excellent
young male from the Hereford herd
belonging to Will London, north of
Pennington. Mr.. Haywood, in com
pany with the County Agent, visited
a number of the Hereford herds of the
county before making the purchase.
Some four years ago, he purchased a
herd bull from John Weimer, one of
the pioneer Hereford breeders Of the
county. Mr.. Haywood remarked that
there had been a great development
in this county since he last saw it.
Much waste land has been fenced in
and put in cultivation and our farms
are in much better state of improve
ment than when he last saw them.
1t might also be interesting to our
cattlemen to know that there has been
two other men in the county last week,
looking for as many as twenty head
of registered Hereford cattle. One of
these came from the State School at
Jonesboro, Ark, and the other from
near Mount Vernon, Ill. The main
reason that these men did not pur-
chase the cattle desired was that we
did not have them for sale. Our
breeders are all working to improve
their herds and will not dare price
their best stock.
Farm Bureau Order for Binder Irvine
Placed with H. c. Nell, Pennington.
The St. Francois County Farm Blu
reau has been making an effort to Sc
cure the best possible price on binder
Irvine, by making bulk order and
paying cash for the Irvine. Local
dealers were asked to make bids on
this proposition. The H. c. Nell Hard
ware Co. of Pennington made the
best offer so the order was given to
him. Mr.. Nell will handle Standard,
International and Plymouth Irvine. 1t
is necessary for all farmers who want
to secure the benefit of the price re-
duction on Irvine, to place their or
der at the Farm Bureau office. This
order will then be turned over to Mr..
Nell and they can secure their Irvine
from him at any time that is conve-
nient. Do not wait until the last
minute to place your order. Should
you have little left over from wheat
harvest, you can use it during corn
harvest.
Wheat Severely Injured by Freeze
A great deal of wheat in st. Fran
co.'s county was seriously injured by
the recent frost and freeze. Large
fields are turning yellow and dying out.
The plant starts dying in single
shoot and travels down toward the
root. We believe that this is due
primarily to the freeze, but the symp-
toms are very much like those of a
serious wheat disease prevalent in
Illinois and in other wheat states. The
County Agent has sent sample of
this wheat to bacteriologist to de-
termine whether there is any disease
which might also be affecting the
wheat.

NO PESSIM|STS ARE
FOUND AMONG WOMEN
LIBERTY WORKERS
cate Enthusiasm Over Liberty
Loan Campaign.

There are no pessimists among the
women workers Of the War Loan Or
ganization for the Eighth District, ac'
cording to Mrs. Theodore Benoist, dis
trict chairman of the women's division
Of the organization.
Letters from the state chairman
from all over the district show that
the women of the states are keener
than ever to go away over the top
in the Victory Loan campaign" said
Mrs. Benoist 1.-THE state chairmen
have been making trips over their
states calling on the county chairmen.
They report that in each county visit.
ed the women are even more enthu.
siastic over the coming loan than they
were in the preceding Liberty loans
Already more than 10000 women
have made up their minds to put
over the Victory Liberty Loan and
are working to perfect the organiza'
lions.
THE government has made = pro
vision to give each worker In the
coming loan drive a medal made from
the metal of captured cannons. We
have asked the state chairmen to send
in the names Of their workers SO that
we may have list Of those who are
to be given medals. / think the gov.
eminent will have to get some more
cannons If the women keep enrolling"
said Mrs. Benoist.
Mrsr, Benoist expressed the belief
that patriotism would carry the loan
if the investment inducement did not.
I'VE must pay the bills for success.
The boys who went into the service to
win the war and who did win the, war
have completed their job. We must
complete ours. It is for the honor of
the nation. The honor Of each In
dividual depends on the honor Of the
nation. Women Of the Eighth District
will not allow their honor to be in
doubt and have made up their minds
to see that the Victory Liberty Loan
is q success"
Mrs. Sam Phillips, state chairman IN
West Tennessee, requested that big
inspirational meeting be held early,
but upon consultation with Mrs. Ben
DIST it has been decided to postpone
the meetings. Kentucky will be the
first state In which the big rally,
which will precede the campaign, will
be held. The date for the Kentucky
meeting has been set for April z.
Mrs. Benoist plans to. attend all
meetings in the district.
Up to date the two states in the
district which have the nearest to
complete organizations are Missouri
and Arkansas, Mrs. Benoist said. In
these states the organizations are
practically complete. Other states are
fast completing their organizations
and it is expected that within few
days every state in the district will
have been organized.

Washington, Feb. 6.-General Per-
shing cabled the war department to-
day denying reports that mail to and
from the American expeditionary
forces had become congested at
French rail heads, The general said
there was no delay or accumulation
of mail for the United States and no
accumulation of correctly addressed
mail arriving in France for the sol
diers.
General Pershing said there were
1910 sacks of incorrectly addressed
mail at the central army postoffice in
France now being redirected while
only 126 sacks of dead letters had
been shipped to the United States dur
ing January. The incorrectly ad-
dressed mail at the central office, he
said, could be placed in one Ameri-
can car"
General Pershing quoted from re-
port made to him by Colonel Howe,
director of the postal express service,
which said that first class mail moves
on scheduled passenger trains and
reaches present rail heads of army of
occupation in six days from time of
arrival in France"
Regarding the outgoing mail, Col
onel Howe said it required an aver
age of four and one-half days for
mail dispatched from divisional rail
heads to reach the Bordeaux termi-
nal and an average of 2.20 days for
mail dispatched from fixed postoffices
on line of communication to reach
that terminal.
Bordeaux terminal" said Colonel
Howe, report their floors cleared of
mail after each shipment to the states.
If there is any delay in mail from
France other than these figures
show, it is on the water or elsewhere"
