The Farmers Wife

Of late we have heard much of how the farm
ers wife has improved her lot and how she is be-
ginning to enjoy some of the pleasures that her
sister in the city considers almost a necessity.
No one begrudges her all the pleasure she can
find, for without doubt her position is not the
easiest one imaginable. The very nature of farm
life assigns to her tasks Of which the dweller in
the city has no idea.
All of US are glad that the telephone, auto
mobile and many labor saving devices have en-
abled her to obtain pleasures which formerly
were denied her, and that she no longer has to
work long hours.
Edith c. Johnson in an article in the Daily
Californian, makes strong plea for betterment
of her condition. Although the picture may be
overdrawn, there are number of points that
are worth keeping in mind We believe, however,
that the author leaves the impression that the
farmer himself does not appreciate the services
his wife gives, something that does not hold true
in every respect. Usually the farmer knows that
his wife is a hard working and tries to
make her lot as easy as possible by supplying her
with all the labor saving devices he can purchase
and by reducing her work wherever possible
The article says:

E,ngland's Vital Struggle

The railroad strike in England apparently
amounts to complete swing of the pendulum.
Before the war, the pay of all English labor was
low, and conditions of living were not at all easy.
The wealthy leisured classes had all the best If
it, and the poor man had not much of chance
to get ahead. We have never had conditions in
America that could properly be called analogous.
Now it seems that the railroad men not
to be satisfied with reasonable adjustment.
Fair pay and good working conditions will not do.
The workers demand terms so onerous that to
yield to them would mean sacrificing the welfare
Of the rest of the country, we'll turning over
the mastery of the roads to the men.
Already England is reduced to short rations
and the hard living conditions of the war.
If miners and transport workers join in the
strike, England will go into a life or death strug-
gle. Should the men succeed in doing what Ger
many could not do-starve the English people
and force them to their knees-they would i'm
pose terms so drastic that the country would be
seriously if not mortally crippled as a contender
for foreign trade. With the costs of labor, coal,
and transportation elevated to prohibitve
heights, England would make sorry competitor.
Before the strike was threatened, England
Lad begun to worry. Her coal miners much
less efficient and productive than ours, and she
fears that the United States may get her coal
trade. Now we learn that the Germans are talk
ing of continuing the ten-hour day, in order to
swell the volume of production.
Probably Englands working men have no de-
sire to ruin their country's trade, because in so
doing they would bring disaster upon themselves.
But if they try hard enough they certainly can
wrest world trade leadership away from their
people and hand it to the Woodworking
Germans.

IF there is one woman in this world who de-
serves fair share of the family profits that
woman is the farmers wife. No eight-hour shift
in her business-she works sixteen or eighteen
hours. There is no time and half for overtime
IN her schedule, for she has never yet begun to
compute what overtime is. She earns wage
that could be termed living only with respect
to food. God knows she has fewer good clothes,
luxuries and pleasures than any other woman we
know. The stenographer going to work in her
silk DRESS her pretty shoes, hat and silk stock
ings her we'll dressed hair and manicured nails
is queen of Sheba beside the average farmers
wife.
"The farmers wife holds down not only one
lob, but dozen. She is wife, mother, cook
baker, laundress, housemaid, nurse seamstress,
pouterer, butter maker and general household
economist. She is up at or 5 o'clock in the
morning and her day seldom ends before 10 at
night
II, for one, greatly rejoice in the farmers re-
cent prosperity I rejoice not much for the
farmer, though he works hard enough for all he
GETS as for the farmers wife. I am hoping that
81 wheat will encourage the farmer to loosen his
purse strings and divide generously with his wife.
Heretofore, the farmers wife was always econo-
MIXING pitilessly to help swell the fund to build
new barn, buy piece of farm machinery
or purchase new breed of stock.
while we are trying to cure all the labor evils
in America, why not concentrate little on the
injustices suffered by the farmers wife, who
never has dollar she can call her own unless it
be the butter and egg money, and sometimes not
that. For the very reason that her wife love,
her mother love and her sense Of duty will not
permit her to think of walking OUT like
the steel men, the actors, the street car men and
the policemen, she ought to be receiving the
greatest consideration and fair division of the
profits.

Condensed Classics of Famous Authors
COLLINS

William wilkie Collins. the son
Of landscape and portrait painter.
was born in London, Jan! s. 1924.
He died September %. 1889. After
some private education at home he
spent three years in Italy with his
father. On his return he became
clerk with a firm of tea merchants
in London, but tea was not to his
taste; he studied law at the famous
Lincoln's Inn and was called to the
bar in 1881. But he was still drift
ing; he was not attracted to the
law, though he found his studies OF
great use to him in later days.
The death of the elder Collins In
1S47 put the son partly in the way OF
finding himself, for he published his
fathers life in two volumes the next
year. He had been turning over his
experiences OF three years life in
Italy. and in 1850 appeared his first
novel. 'Antonia, or the Fall OF Rome"
Basil" was published in 1852. and
Hide and Seek" in 1854. He had not
attracted the attention OF the public
as yet. The great event Of his life
however. came in 1851, when he
made the acquaintance of Charles
Dickens.

The Broom as a Germ Carrier

This is a story of house broom Many ira
ditions clutter about that household adjunct.
Whether it was a bunch of twigs tied to stick
with which to brush the hearthstone of a peas
ants hut, or the broomcorn product of colonial
days, it has served a symbol for cleanliness.
In modern times, however, we have learned a
new standard of cleanliness-a cleanliness which
not only sweeps away the clutter in sight, but
also seeks to rout the disease germs which may
Turk there unknown.
tuberculosis is a menace to every home. Sun
light quickly kills the germs. But the raising of
clouds of dust indoors is one means of transmit
ting this infection. All broom sweeping should
be preceded by strewing the floor with old tea
leaves or bits of wet paper.
This is one means of helping to prevent the
spread of the white plague, which, according to
the figures of the National tuberculosis associa-
ton, claims 100000 lives yearly.
The work of the National tuberculosis asso-
citation is supported chiefly by the annual sale of
the Red Cross Christmas seals. This agency,
the leading one in America to combat the white
plague co-operates with the 1000 state and local
leagues and associations affiliated with it.
The amount to be raised from the seal sale
this year is more than S6,5OO,O00 This fund is
preventative program. One of the policies of the
national association is to see that the money is
directly applied to the benefit Of the community
in which it was obtained.
