ployes. on a charge of operating a poker
and other gambling games in the Marion
county jail.
Kemp and vanCleave were discharged

Douglas because the chief witness Of the
prosecution could. not be found so service
could be made on him
The evidence showed that Meinert was
assistant cell boss while a prisoner in
the Marion county jail and while in that
capacity prepared the table for the poker
games, took the rakeoff from the games
and invited the prisoners to play.

and took the witness stand in his own
defense.

on Meinert. the court stated that Meinert

This survey covers 1905 typical farm
homes in thirty three northern and west
ern states, anil in the opinion of Misc
Ward and other specialists Of the dc
partment, proves conclusively that the
waste of womsn power is one of the
greatest menaces to the rural life or
the nation.
With home life on the farm one con-
tinual round of drudgery, it is only TO
be expected that the alert young woman
should long for the greater comfort OF
life in the city, and the widespread
shortage Of farm labor is eloquent proof
OF the fact that the attractive young
woman, city bound, is drawing the
capable young men after her.
WHY WOMEN
LEAVE THE FARM.
Here are few of the reasons, as dis
closed by the survey. why many women
find farm life unattractive:
The working day of the average farm
woman is 11.3 hours, the year round
In summer 1t is 1912 hours
Eighty seven out OF each 100 women
have no, regular vacation during the
year.
Half of the farm women are up and
at work at 3 O'Clock In the morning.
Forty per cent have water in the
fitchen, but the other so per cent mus;
carry it from the spring or pump.
Thirty-six per cent help with the
milking.
