which to stir her neighbors to envy
 Have Regular Spending Race
 "If women earn money they feel they have the right to spend it. Then a, husband with a salary-getting wife feels that he Is freer to spend, too. Result-they both spend to the very limit of their resources.
 There Is nothing left. They have no right to live that way.
 'If a woman decides to marry she should be willing to have children and care for her home.
 '"The ptoneerwomen of this coun- try raised big families, worked for those families, and conserved the re- suit of the husbands labors."
 Miss Schneidermanns Opinion
 But, in opposition to Dr. Binders g theories, Miss Schneidermann em- phat.cally states:
 If society women want to work, they also have the right. It is good for peoples souls to have steady oc- cupation Of course. they don't have to work as far as finances are con cerned. but rich men don't have to go down to offices and take up profes- tsions either, except for the satisfac-

 Married wohnen ought to be sup ported by their husbands, in any normally constituted society.
 Tt should be a mans job to look out for his wife and his children.
 Any society in which a married woman has to work presents an ab- normal industrial condition.
 'Women who look after their homes are amply employed. Houses require plenty of work to be present. able and comfortable homes.
 . But I believe that there are few women working who don't have to be wage earners. If a married woman needs her Job she should be allowed to keep it. It would not be right to take it away from her and give tt to a single man who might be a. bum and not deserve it. nor be able to full fill the requirements as well as the woman already in the position.
 That wouldn't be good for employ CTS or employees.

PLAN ID GIVE MARRIED MOMENTS JOBS TO IDLE
 STARTS AN ARGUMENT

s The argument that they may not (have to) work is no more sensible than to say that there are many mar ried men who don't have to work.
 ''k, omen's work as housewives and mothers has not been recognized or paid, and until the state does offer such recognition why should not women have the right to seek em- ployment and be self-supporting if they want to?
 Married women have as much right to jobs and independence as sin gle men have"
 How Dr. Binder Views Cases
 We were wondering if some of the park bench idlers might not be the husbands of the married women with the good jobs, and if a wife's success in business doesn't often stultify a mans desire to achieve. With these questions we approached Dr. Binder.
 There is a good deal in the idea that a couple often does not get

ton and self-respect they get out of honest endeavor.
 "1n many cases where married women work, when they don't need the money. there are circumstances existing that we don't know about There may be something behind 1t.
 We have got to have a remedy for industrial conditions that produce tdleness, but the only one so far and it Is only palliative, not a rem ery-is the Unemployment Insurance proposition now widely used in Flu rope. where it has been tried and found effective. A small amount is given the unemployed-enoug to keep them from being destitute.
 '"rhat would put the burden on the state and the employer. Without 1t the burden is all on the individual when business is siackened.

New York, Nov, 1l.-Mayor James Couzeps, of Detroit. wants to take married women out of office and sim ultaneously remove loafers from park benches
 This is his proffered solution of the present problem of unemployment.
 While many men are out of work, numbers of married women are earn ing good salaries. Whether or not apportioning one salary to a family or giving up g. married woman's job 60 d single man would be feasible has aroused some discussion.
 Miss Rose Schneidermann, head of the Womens Trade Union League, questions are advisability of the plan, while Dr. Rudolph M. Binder, profess sor of sociology at New York Univer- sity, is more in sympathy with Mayor Couzen's ideas.
 .l am opposed to the idea of oust- ing these married women from their jobs to make way for idle men," Miss Schneidermann declared.

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE

To the Republican Voters of Kansas:
I win be Republican candidate for
Secretary of State at the primary
election next August I am making
this announcement now that my
friends and the Republican voters Of
Kansas may know that my name viii
be on the ballot, and to assure them
that l will appreciate their support.
1 have lived in Kansas more than
forty years. Prior to my service as
Assistant Secretary of State, my life
has been devoted to newspaper work
in the capacity of publisher, editor,
reporter, special writer and CORE
spondent for many of the big dailies
of the country. 1 hope the service
thus rendered in my small way, in
always standing up for Kansas and
her people, has been beneficial.
If l am nominated and elected
Secretary of State, the same economy
in the expenditure of public funds
instituted by my worthy predecessors
will be carried out. I viii cut to the
bone to save every dollar possible. 1
promise an honest and faithful admin
istration of the office, and the same
efficiency and painstaking courtesy in
serving the people of Kansas.
The State of Kansas, through Mr.
Pettijohn's appointment, pays me a
salary to have charge of certain de-
tail work as Assistant Secretary of
State. 1 do not intend to leave my
desk and travel over the state hunt
ing for votes. The people of Kansas
know me, or they may know of me,
through acquaintance and friends in
every county. l believe it is the duty
of a public official to stay on the job
and render efficient service for the
money he receives as salary. I'think
the people Of Kansas are looking for
that kind of public officials, and I am
very willing to take my chances with
the voters as a candidate for Secre-
tary of State on the issue of staying
on this job and earning my salary.
If am nominated and elected
Secretary of State, my Assistant
Secretary will be chosen from the
ranks of the young men of Kansas
who quit their jobs, left their homes
and families and went to France TO
fight for their country.
Respectfully yours,
D. o. McCRAY,
Topeka, Kansas.

CLUB WORK

Miss Him, assistant state club
reader, viii be in the county Decem-
Der u, Is, IA, and Is, to organize
boys and girls clubs. 1t is planned

Wallace county will be entertained at
the Chamber of Commerce luncheon
on Tuesday evening. The program
for this occasion will be by the boys
and girls of Ellis and Wallace county.
Invitations Will be mailed to all club
members if this plan is carried out,
but don't forget to have your boy
join the club next week.
We will also need a number of men
and women who are willing to assist
in this club work next summer. If
you are interested, get in touch with
the county agent at once so we will
know who will help US as local leaders.
Let's make this year the best year
for club work in this county.

PRAIRIE DOG CAMPAIGN

Now is the ideal time to poison
prairie dogs. This week the Farm
Bureau received ten bushels of pois-
oned oats. Farmers should take this
poison, keep it on hand until the nice
warm days come this winter and then
put it out. Two or three such appica-
tions this winter viii probably kill
most of the dogs in your town. The
townships are required by law to
furnish this poison. Let US not be
content to stop until the last dog in
the county is killed. Last springs
campaign was successful but because
it was SO late we could not get all the
dogs.
Along with this campaign We are
urging the farmers to poison their
rats. By the use of Varium Carbon
ate the rats will be killed very sue
secsfully. Various rat poisons can be
purchased from the drug stores. In
most cases the poison used should be
scattered over some suitable bait The
bait should consist of three or four
kinds in order to attract the rats. For
example: meat, potatoes, bread, and
cheese might be placed in small
quantities the first night. The rats
will probably take but one of these
bats. Then the next night follow
with a large amount of poison bats.
Nothing moRe should be done for
about a week or ten days then the
poison may be tried again. Never
poison more than two nights at time.
Barium Carbonate is used by sitting
it over the surface of the bait.
Remember this is a deadly poison
and must be kept away from children
and animals. The county has on
hands number of bulletins regarding
rats and mice. If you want one write
the county agent.

pioneer days; couples were given in
marriage, and lived happily ever
after. If Methuselah and his neigh
bors could stand the grind alone TO a
thousand years, what's the matter
with we'uns when the Lord has made
it easy for US by cutting down the
race to three or four score. Family
control had some difficulties in the
early time: at the age of 100, the
kid was given bob-sled and told to
go out and slide down hill; at the age
of 200 the daughter chewed gum and
talked sassy to Mommer; and at the
age of 800 she elOped with a calIow
youth of the same age and the old
man of 900 to 1000, lit out to catch
'em with big stick in his hand.
And after all, what does the noise
Of the modern world amount to?
When you and I, old boy, went spark
ing, we got along without noise. She
sat on one end of the sofa with a
a make believe interest in its contents.
GOdey's Ladies Book in her hand, and
and you Cd glared with sleeps eyes
in her direction and promptly looked
the other way before she could catch
your (my) eyes, and so the delightful
evening eased away till she passed a
plate of big red apples, and somehow
for some seconds-both of US sank
into a state of coma, and when we re-
turned to earth, we were in the delir-
ium of a-well an-and she-she?
She was sweeter than sugar, and don't
you remember Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?

COMING TO HAYS

At the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the State Teachers
Association held last Saturday, they
decided the annual meetings next fall
should be on October 10Th, 10th and
21st, and should be held at Hays,
Topeka, Parsons and Hutchinson.
New let everybody put their shoul-
der to the wheel and help get the
Golden Belt railroad built from Great
Bend to Hays by that time, and it can
be done easily if Hays wants it, and
then all of Southwest Kansas can
come to Hays rather than going to
Hutchinson. Every teacher would
prefer to come to the big Coliseumt
with its noted entertainments of
teachers and the benefit of the State
Normal buildings; but it must be done
quickly to get the contracts given out
and work commenced. It means over
1000 teachers in Hays, with the
money they bring to spend among
the mrchants of Hays. That is why
Topeka and Salina are so anxious to
have the meetings held there. It
means thousands of dollars in trade,
with what they eat and buy to take
home .-Freese.

THE VICTORY HIGHWAY

Topeka, Kansas, December 6.-The
marking of three-ffths of the Victory
Highway from San Francisco to New
York City, was completed on schedule
time, the first of this month.
The blue and canary signs, bearing
road directions and the name of the
association, now are planted from San
Francisco to Kansas City, Missouri.
The unbroken line of markers
stretches across the great plains of
Kansas and eastern Colorado, over
the continental divide, through the
Rocky Mountains, across Nevada and
Utah, and into San Francisco.
Officials of the association plan to
resume the marking of the highway
east of Kansas City next spring, but
they are certain of large amount of
travel over the newly marked highway
with the opening of the 1922 tourist
season.
Tourists who have driven from the
Pacific coast to the central states
agree that the Victory Highway,
memorial road. is the best marked
highway from the Middle West to the
Pacific Coast.
