CROWN At LOW POINT.
Dollar Is Equivalent to 1850 of
Austrian Money Units.

VIENNA, September 27.-The Aus
trian crown fell today to a point
where the dollar purchased $500 of
them, and the pound sterling 10000.
A wild stampede of buying resulted
on the stock exchange, where every
thing on the lists was selling nadly
crowns.
1t is estimated that the purchasing
value Of the crown has decreased 25
per cent within three days, and, as a
consequence, unrest among the labor

FARMERS WIFE HAS
BIG PART IN WORK
CBy Associated PreSs)


Louisville, Ky. March 31.-The
farmers wife is essentially a part
fner and living in the shop and
boarding the hands of the fac
tory; she knows more about the
profit and loss Of the business
than the wives OF men in any 9th
.er business and therefore she is
needed IN the Farm Bureau, Mrs.
{. w. Sewell, OF Otterbein. Ind,
told the delegates to the second
annual convention of the Ken
lucky Farm Bureau Federation
here last night. Better living
conditions, shorter hours and
more pleasures and convcniences
for every farm women are urged
by the speaker, who talked on
"WOman's Place III the Farm Btu
reau."
Some one has we'll said that
civilization Of a nation can rise
no higher than the standard of
her home" said Mrs. Sewell. "To
those who are interested in rural
betterment and more favorable
conditions for the farmer in bust
ness, school or home relations,
this statement contains much
food for thought.
"President J. R. Howard, al the
American Farm Bureau, has re-
peatedly said that he believes the
heart of American agriculture lies
in the farm homes. Over against
this lies the fact that statistics
show that young women are leav-
ing the country IN greater num-
bers than young men, We believe
the Farm Bureau to, be. the. best
at present, of. helping
solve the many problems that per-
pleX the farmer. We need them,
not only every farmer las a mem
Der, but%every farmers wife
working together as they do on a
successfully managed farm, each
fully realizing that one has just
as much interest in making things
go we'll as has the other.
THE farmers wife is essential
ly a real partner. The office and
the home are not several blocks
or a mile apart, but she lives in
the shop and boards the men en-
ployed in the factory. She knows
more of the profits and loss of the
business than is perhaps possible
to the wife of men of other pro-
fessions. She is a producer, as
we'll as consumer. She is inter-
ested in better schools for her
good roads and splendid
churches, better living conditions,
shorter working hours, more
pleasures and conveniences, not
for the favor few, but for every
farm woman in her state.
I'm short, just as in everything
else worth while, you need enter
prising, energetic, economical. re-
sourceful women to help in the !

ACREAGE Is ON INCREASE

The rapid development of agricul

Colorado in the past dozen years is
forcefully illustrated by the reports
of the census bureau for 1909 and
1919, and by the reports of county
assessors to the State Immigration
Department for 1921, which show
that acreage cultivated under irri-
CATION in the state has increased only
about Is per cent since 1909, while
acreage cultivated without irrigation
has increased considerably more than
100 per cent.
