nearly caused the death of Mr.. Park
err. Mr.. Parker was hunting alone
from an outlying camp about SIX
miles from the main camps at
Head pond. A foot of snow had
fallen and he decided to return to the
main camp. The travelling through
the woods was tiresome and as he
neared Head pond he was exhausted
by reason of the snow and heavy
clothing. with the heavy pack
strapped to his shoulders as well.
In order to avoid mile hike
around the north of Heald pond he
decided to paddle across the lake in
a canoe to the main camp. When he
was about 200 feet off the shore a
strong wind hit the bow of the canoe.
overturning it and throwing him into
the icy water. He succeeded in
reaching shore by clinging to the
stern of the canoe and using his feet
and hands as paddles. He lost his
rifle.
To make matter worse the strong
wind stiffened his hands and limbs.
He became utterly exhausted and
fell into the deep snow along the
trail. He crawled on his frost-bitten
hands and knees about POO yards up
the trail. He made a desperate at
tempt to go ahead to save himself
from freezing. At last he turned
over exhausted, unable to go any
further.
He was found unconscious by ]. J..
Brand of Camden, \. j., who. with
the aid of his guide, carried him in

Bill Of Rights for F arm Women.

Organization of the farm women of the
United States on national scale is
to be undertaken For long time the
farmers wife and his mother, sister and daugh-
ter have felt that their special problems were
being neglected by the farm organizations, and
they have been seeking proper attention to their
needs and grievances. The women OF the
countryside have their community interests and
their civic ideas, and they want forum for the
discussion of rural schools. recreation. church
organization, social life and similar questions
In Nebraska and adjoining states certain
groups of farm women recently dramatized
their grievances in a bill of rights that has
aroused much interest. The authors of the
document aver that in the recent improvements
in farm life too little has been done for the
women Agricultural machinery. motor cars
telephones and mechanical power are severally
good things for the farm, and directly or in
directly they help the women But what of
electric washing machines, bath tubs, auto
matte cleaners and sweepers running water in
the kitchen mad like conveniences? For every
improvement made to tighten the burden of
the farmer, say the embattled women, some
equivalent Improvement should bt installed to
relieve his wife or daughter of part of her
drudgery. This is a fair demand.
The merchants in the rural centers are en-
couraging the farm women of Nebraska and
other states in this agitation of their rights
The more the farmers buy the better for trade.
But the farmer points to present prices of
wheat and and asks where he can obtain
the money to buy the things desired by the
women. Perhaps the organized farm women
will proceed to find the answer to this question
for the men folk
