Remember your sisters and their

all of them to ekc out bare living for
themselves.
When we succeed in compelling a
profitable price for cotton and other
farm products, then and not until
then, will we be able to correct these
conditions. The woman can then re
turn to her home to look after her do
mcStic duties, and the children can so

can the country have better school
