DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
THE OTHER FELLOWS JOB,

BY DOROTHY DIX,
TIE worlds Highest Paid Weman Writer

The chief reason why there is so much
friction in the average household Is be-
cause the husband has always been a
man and the wife has always been a
woman, and neither one has any under
standing OF the difficulties and prob
lens of the other, or any sympathy
with them.
You often hear a man say to his
wife: Good Lord, you don't know
when you have things easy! All you
have got to do Is to stay quietly aud
safely at home and keep the house and
look after the children. Seems to me
as II any halfway intelligent woman
could do that with one hand tied be-
hind her, | only wish | had that soft
snap"
Ard the woman retorts by saying
Much work you Go, sitting around In

business woman is almost invariably
economical and thrifty and spends care
fully the money that her husband has
earned at so great a price. Also she
considers her husband IN a thousand
little ways that the woman who has
never done a mans work herself never
shows to her husband.
She does not lay upon him her own
burdens, because she knows that he is
already staggering along under all the
load he can carry. She does not resent
every impatient speech, because she
remembers times wnen her own nerves
were raw, and every word bruised them
like a blow. Nor does she expect her
husband to trot around with her to
places of amusement in the evening
because sheg too, has been so weary
after grinding day in office or store
that all she asked in the world was
just chance TO flop down on couch
and relax.
OF course It Js impractical for nus
bands and wives really TO exchange
Jobs, but ii does seem as II their imag-
iuatjon might enable them to put them

your editor took time to look the

fine and attracted much attention
The local men who were there
throughout the fair declare hun
dreds of persons came in purposely
to see the Marathon county exhibit
and considering what weather con-
ditions have been met here the ac-
complishments were considered ex-
cellent. The Unity Canning club
took first place in the canning dem

In the demonstration Wausau took
second. This was the exact standing
of the two teams at the Marathon

obtain the right to enter at the state
fair only because one other county
failed to send demonstration team.
