WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
wOMENf

A man says: Darn 'em. what's
the matter with women, anyway"
Well, to be exact andN frank, there
is about a million things the matter
with them. The principle thing
that ails women is that they are
human. and therefore full of faults
and frailties. Hence, temper and
temperament, and extravagance and
vanity. and naEging and unreason,
and matters of that sort.
A poor thing at best but when
men are tempted to criticize the
weaknesses of the feminine sex. let
them never lose sight of the fact
that Eve was created to Adams
order, and that such as women are.
men have made them. Every wo-
man represents the desires. the
tastes, the ideals, the teachings of
thousands of generations of men.
and II men don't admire the result
OF their handiwork, they have no.
body but themselves to blame.
A great deal is said about wo-
mems influence over man. Pifflei
II is negligible compared to mans
influence over woman. Woman's
influence over man is the slow at
triton OF the glacier that in the
course of a few centuries polishes
smooth a small spot on a granite
cliff; but mans influence over
woman is that of the potter over
the clay in his hands that he can
form into the shape he wills.
Man gives into woman in small
things to please her, but woman
orders her whole life TO please man.
And this is inevitable because, in

A Judge Brown Story Talk

His legs seemed fastened to
the ground.
His arms were idle.
He was doing nothing but
waiting for somebody to come
along and move him
Then some one came along and
began to work on the wood pile
and made this boy work also.
Then the boy was PUSHED
along and made to carry his load,
and somehow he didn't like it.
This boy called 1t HARD
WORK.
And he didn't see any fun In
working.
This wheelbarrow boy did not
know that the only fun. in work
ing is to start working yourself
and not wait for some one to
MAKE you work.
Pretty good thing that some
one came along and used this
wheelbarrow boy for WORK
For somebody might have hap
pened along and started this
wheelbarrow boy DOWN HILL
and left him to keep on going
until he tipped over or come to
a sudden stop.
It's pretty hard work to push
a wheelbsrrow up hill.
Just about as hard to help a
wheelbarrow boy back when he
had rolled down.
Better get busy and do some
thing worth while-all by your
self.
Don't wait for some one to
push you.

Ny winter life is spent in the
city, going to school. studying
music, running errands, helping
mother. and doing various other
chores; while my summer life is
spent on a farm in Virginia.
I have daily tasks and chores
to do on the farm, such as gath
ering apples, picking berries,
feeding chickens, and helping in
the garden. but these tasks seem
a pleasure to me. Oh. what a
fine time on the farm with my
friends.
There are many pleasures
found in the country, such as
swimming, horseback riding. car

and picnics. l would prefer the
country anytime to the city, and
more so in the summer.

one can get all they want and we do the work.
 In planning community enter tainment we have a committee re- sponsible for the refreshments, an other committee responsible for giv- ing the little children a good time, another for entertaining the girls and boys, another for the young people, and still another to see to 1t that something is done for the married folks who sit still and do not even talk. We'll, at this tea, Miss Allen came in with a stranger from St. Louis, who was gfeatly interested in community work. They watched ev- erything and then commented. They knew community meeting" could not be without the babies, so the in fants-in-arms and baby buggies were first enjoyed. Where else could baby enjoy himself or be so wei come?" Nowhere, except in their community house. The little tots in their best dresses, skipping and happy, where could they play? Church and schoolhouse could not hold them. One side of the building had table after table with the young folks deep in rock. Where could they go? There is no place so won derful as a community house with a home demonstration tor community club of live women to plan for the babies, children, young people and old folkl But l do not think we will get very old now that we have again learned to play. Happiness is contagious, and one cannot grow old rapidly if one is always associated with happy people, and that is what we have in our community house. Our community spirit is spreading. Jacksonville caught it long ago and the women's club there expects to have a building before their next fair.

worth while (very seldom, I admit but this chief topic at every meeting at church, school, club and home, as to where a site could be obtained, resulted in Mrs. Callie Carpenter giv- ing us an acre of ground, and then the community house seemed an ac- tual fact.
 The community meeting in 1920 differed from the 1919 meeting. It was not small nor quiet. The school house was packed, windows crowded and everybody was ready to talk. Money came in from most of the families and plans were discussed to raise more funds.
 One Sunday, October 3rd, when people drove from Sweet Home to the Arch Street pike, they could not help but notice ten or twelve or more concrete pillars in the loi where the community house was to be built-a firm foundation, laid by the men of the community-not a piece of lumber on the place, just the foundation. By Tuesday lumber was hauled, and before Sunday, Oc- tober 10th, the entire building, 40x 100 feet, was completed. The work done by the men! They were spurred on by the interest of the women. who, though they could not saw and nail, could do the mems work al home, letting them put in the entire

The fair opened and with it the rain came again, just sprinkle at first, but there was more the next day and more people, too. It turned colder and we had to get stove for the women and babies, but the crowd came and no place to sit or stand!
 The enthusiasm spread at our sue cess until it was county wide, and all cried out Sweet Home community is worth while. We must have a house to display our produce, enter tain our friends, help our children and build up our community"
 The last night of this fair was a memorable occasion, for an enthusi- astic explosion came, and the men and women made pledges for com munity house before another year rolled by.
 Our home demonstration club elected new officers with the new year and more definite work was planned for the home and commun- ity.
 The fair catalogue came out with the date for the Sweet Home Com munity Fair, but no building in sight. The president of our fair as- sociation, Mir. Geo.

 no matter what came, the women overcame, but with all our troubles and after we had secured build ing (or piece of building) in which to hold our fair, the elements were against us. Rain came every day, continued, kept on. No one could remember an October with so much rain. The farmers were blue sweet potatoes rotting, crops almost ruined, roads next to impossible. There seemed nothing to do but call off the fair. The men insisted it was impossible, and it seemed so for some time.
 Miss Allen kept her eye on us all the time, and would not let our spir- its fall. Do not use anything you prepared for your exhibit get more things ready" etc, was her cry, for you do not know what is ahead" " Finally it cleared off.

 Some people claim it is ths <, that knocks the top price off e.SA I Arkansas cattle on the stock na,ka,s ,ae in Kansas City and elsewhere 'A'Is ss you will do as did and spend few days at the Kansas Civ a.as yards you will find as I did inc SA t.,, reason why. If you will mingle ,s;,I S the buyers and sellers you will soa ,n see that it is not only Arkansas stooS ol that never gets the top price h.. there are cattle from states that nepu pu. saw a tick of any kind, and l tbs would not know what tick wac f they were to meet one in the road elsewhere. But the trouble is s;,t the scrub stock. Arkansas cattle n scrub stock from any state that won,t weigh more than 8 or 9 hundred pounds at two years old, won't primo top price on the market. The k;nS that brings the top price will and do weigh from IA to Is hundred pounds at two years old. They ars real beef cattle. And these brvers say that if you want to get inc tan prices for your cattle you must have real beef cattle, no difference where the. stock comes from, if they arc real beef cattle you can and will Get top price.
 So 1t is in most any other line of business. If you have the goods inc market wants and needs you will most certainly get the price.
 We notice that some people claim their cattle die with the so-calJed hollow horn. Really, there is m such disease among cattle. Win all cattle that grow horns, after they get past two years old their horns get a little more hollow every year It is not caused by disease, it is notb. ing more nor less than nature And we find that the cattle that die with the so-called hollow horn very sel. dom die except in the winter, when the weather is bad and feed is scarce Most of it Is caused by exposure to bad weather and a hollow stomach though quite often 1t is caused by their owners carelessness in not re- moving the grub worms that get un- der the skins on the cattle's backs. These grubs do more killing in one season than the hollow horn would do in any mans natural life.
 We'll, we have heard people com plain about the hot, dry weather al- ready. What do you think? Some hurry for change, don't you think? We'll, we never mind the weather If inc wind don't blow too hard, For we can't make it any better, Do you think so, old Pard?
 So there is no use for us to bother For 1t comes already made.
 For our bothering can not fix ii, And to our order we can't have it
