WOMAN POWER.

The department Of agriculture has been making
farm home survey. It's records covering -o.O15
farm homes. rs conclusion is that "the waste Of
woman power : one Of the greatest menaces to the
rural life Of the nation"
The percentage OF farm women disclosed in this
report-si percent-who have to go to the spring
the pump for all water used in the house IS
sufficiently depressing without going further into
such statistics the 10 percent who have TO
for kerosene lamps and the as percent who do all
the family washing without any washing machinery.
and the so percent who have no bathrooms
great deal OF the lost woman power could
be saved by installing power in the home The fact
that as percent of the farms covered by the
have power installed for operating farm machinery.
while % percent the home indicates
that the farmer still slow about easing the work
o his womenfolk. There may possibly be
cuse for doing without home power the farms
which have none at ALL though even that is doubt
full. but there is certainly for not having
every house which has power the farm
at all
Fully half the labor would nc saved to any farm
woman by the installation of electric lights electric
washing machine. ironer small electric iron,
vacuum cleaner and dishwashing machine Where
the woman does much sewing there should be also

makes it possible 10 budget them comfortably.
And there is not of them which does not pay

More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE

The poets sing Of noble toll,
They have a feigned affection
For raking hay or filling soil,
Or working on the section.
But though l mean 10 do no wrong
To my poetic brothers,
notice that they stick to song
And leave the toll to others.
The poets sing of breaking waves
That dash a ship 10 pieces.
While sailors land in watery graves
Before the tumult ceases.
/ would not. as ! said before
Be counted with the railers.
But still the poets stay ashore
And leave the wrecks 10 sailors.
The poets sing the joys Of strife,
or battling every minute
With the distress and care of life,
To win a fortune in IL.
And though from any brother bard
| would not merit curses.
l never saw one striving hard,
Except at writing verses
And yet were ] poet too,
And not versifier.
And I could make men strive 10 dc
To yearn and to aspire,
And get we'll paid for what I wrote
/ scarcely need to mention,
That TO such Lyrics I'd devote
Ny time and my attention.

Paula first gained honors as the
feminine of the good st. Paul, and
also as the name of the friend and
correspondent OF St. Jerome, the
mother Of Eustochium. Thus Paula
Paola and Paolina, the diminutive

The name was taken into France
and straightway given the stamp of
the French language, emerging as
Pauline and Paulette The sister Of

Paulette in her own family. but
Pauline was most popular for the
sake of the favOrite grandchild of
Nine. de Sevignc; in fact is almost
the only one whose Christian name
is mentioned in Nine. de Sevigne's
letters. PaOla and Paolina will
never lose their vogue in the south
ern countries Of Europe, but the
English language finds Paula or

Paulette is confined strictly to
France.

ASSERTS STATE
 SHOULD CONTROL GRAZING LANDS

TUCSON, Arizona, Feb. 1S-Senator Marcus A. Smith or Arizona, in his first speech in his present trip to Arizona, came out for state control of grazing lands in the forest reserve here this afternoon in an address at the convention of the Arizona Cattle Growers association. Senator Smith declared that the government should be ashamed of itself to take the money paid for grazing on the forest reserve.
 Previous to Senator Smiths address, Judge c. w. Shute of Gila county, ar guing for return to the constitution of the United States and positive law, declared he was sick of government by commission. He warned the cattlemen that, without holding brief for the packers, if a federal commission would be appointed to handle their affairs, they would be in the condition Of the corporations and individuals of Ari- zona. Here, he said, the cry had been raised for regulation of corporations. As result came the corporation com mission, and now a man could not drive an automobile to depot as a business without asking permission. The local butcher who shipped over the state line would be regulated, while his rival who did not would go un- scathed.

He and two others stood when a rising vote was asked from the floor. The rest of the convention rose as a mass for the reso- lution. The objection was based on the assertion that the resolution had nothing to do with the cattlemen's in dustry.
 Most of the resolutions reported had previously been endorsed at the Spo- kane convention of the National Amer 1can Livestock association. However one favoring the policing of the ranges by the state was initiated here. The resolution set forth that the requests of ranch men for inspectors had ex- ceeded the funds of the board.-There- fore it was decided to request the legislature -at the next meeting to po- lice the ranges.

 "This brings us to the danger of an overStocked retailer if prices go much higher and think the time may be not far distant when this time will be seen.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Profiteerlng is the last and least of six reasons for the high cost of living given today by Howard F. Figg, assistant United States attorney general, at the ninth annual convention of the National Dry Goods association. He asserted, how ever, that some of the dry goods deal CTS wereg uilty of profiteering and should be punished without trial. while he believed all were guilty of having prOfiteered, perhaps unwillingly, at some time or other.
 ''The first reason for present condi- tions,' said the speaker, lis the 1n- creased volume of money and credits; second, the wide increase in wages, due partly to war necessities and gov ernment wage scales: third, lessened world production; fourth, increased cost of distributions; fifth, reckless ex- travagance and a spirit of speculation, and, sixth, prOfiteering."
 Labor Pivot of Situation
 MT. Figg predicted that there would be no appreciable price reduction until labor considers itself part of the whole of industry and consents to CO., operate.'
 T do not mean,' he explained, that labor must give up it's short work day and its high wages, but labor must work a full 60 minutes in each hour."
 Labor must be made to see the po- SiIiOn lHIO WHICH IL IS ILe eH- tire industry of the world, MT. F'igg said, adding that no appreciable re- duction in prices could come until all interests-labor, public, the manufac- turer. producer, wholesaler and dis ordinate.
 Opposes Taxes System
 The excess profits and luxury taxes are tremendous factors in the high cost of living, and one tax which can be controlled "at a central point" must take their places, MT. Figg said. eX- blaming that this meant a single tax on the ultimate consumer. He declared himself personally opposed to inter- ference with business by the govern ment, but asserted that during the present emergency there should be
