Why Women Wish to Leave the Farm

Says the SandersviIlc Progress, published
in the heart of eastern wiregrass Georgia.
"a recent census of 10000 farm house"
holds in thirty-three states shows that the
working day of the farm woman is 11.3
hours, and in summer 1912 hours. Only
regular vacation. To most city women such
hours would seem little short of slavery, and
indeed th2y a.e too long; nevertheless, there
are no happier, more vigOroi IS adj
mirable women than the wives and mothers
on the farms.'

European Heat

The United Kingdom, like France, Bel
GUM and other parts of the European con-
tinent, is sweltering from a prolonged
drought and heat wave with no immediate
relief in sight.
Eighty days of torrid drought have parch-
ed the fields and dried up wells, while the
Thames, Severn and other rivers are un-
precedentedly low and can be forded in
many places. Fires have devastated thou
sands of acres of heaths and commons, ruin
ing many we'll known beauty spots. There
have been several deaths as result of the
heat.
The water supply of London and other
big cities is becoming dangerously low and
the authorities are asking householders to
restrict the use of water to the lowest pos
sible minimum. Temperature in the shade
today was around the 90's According to
to official records this has been the hottest
July in fifty years.

A clever woman is like an orchiG-a man

his heart.

Post War Horror

An enormous depot of ammunition left by
the Germans in Houtholst Wood, on the
old Flanders front, is threatened by fire
in the forest, and as part Of the ammuni-
ton consists of poison gas shells, gas masks
are being distributed to the peasants in the
surrounding villages. The fire is spreading
rapidly, owing to the protracted drought, to-
ward the center of the forest where the
depot is situated, and the military authori-
ties considered the distribution of the masks
a necessary precaution against an explosion
releasing the deadly gas.
Houthoulst Wood was the scene of some
of the bitterest fighting in the war. Held
by the Germans, it was first attacked by the
French and later by the British, both at
tacks being repulsed with enormous losses
The wood was finally occupied by the Bel
gians in October 1918.

Nature ShiInnnies


Nature has joined in the shimmying process
east Of Mendoza, Va, and as a result the
people are much wrought up and excited over
natures performance as nature was shocked
and grieved over the latest dance steps per-
petrated by men and women.
In the River View section the earth has
heaved up and at others it is sinking. Rum
blings have been heard beneath the surface
Of the earth by the inhabitants and follow
ing the noise which resembled the falling and
breaking of large stones the surface of the
earth trembled appreciably. One person
states that he was sitting on a rocky forma-
ton where it crosses a small valley and he
felt the rock culver and heave, then fis-
sure about sixteen feet long opened in the
rock Immediately beneath the seat he had
occupied.
Several theories have been advanced con-
corning the disturbance which has been
growing in volume for week. The most plaus-
ible is that it is caused by gas pressure and
another is that it is cavernous country and
erosion caused by the subterranean streams
is allowing the surface of the earth to SETTLE
The natural tunnel, one of the wonders of
Virginia, is located within twenty miles. Re-
ports state that the hills continue to shimmie.

Harding and Horses

President Harding is considering taking
up horseback riding for exercise. His per-
sonal physician, Brigadier General Sawyer,
has been conducting propaganda in favor Of
equestriansm for the last few weeks to such
an extent that the president has said, it is
understood, that if the general also will get
into the saddle, he will consider it.
General Sawyer visited the White House
stables, and inspected the two fine saddle
horses Democrat and Kentucky, which were
there during the Wilson regime. He plans
of Rock Creek Park, and if all goes we'll,
he is prepared to initiate the president into
the joys of horsemanship. DR.. Sawyer has
been applying himself without stint recent
ly and regards the opportunity of horse
back riding as an excellent antidote Tor
fatigue.

Jumping Autos
The jumping stunts Of automobiles in the
movies are the result of trick photography.
There has been produced in France light
car that does many of these spectacular per-
formances, not only pictorially, but actually,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
1t is a small light car with speed of
twenty-five miles an hour. The particular
feature that enables the car to negotiate all
obstacles with impunity is the manner OF
connecting the car to the rear wheels. 1t
has been compared with the action of the
human knee. A jumper bends his legs at
the knees, straghtens them out rapidly to
get the effect of spring. The rear wheels
do the same thing. On striking an obstacle
the wheels rise Independently of the rest
of the car, which remains horizontal.
Under test, when driven against an OBJ.
stacle forty inches high, with an approach
sloping at As degrees, the car was lifted to
a height of fifty-seven inches and landed at
distance of twenty feet, all four wheels
striking the ground simultaneously. On
landing the spring in the wheel connection
cushions the conclusion of the wheel with
the ground, again resembling the action of
jumpers knee, which bends under him as
he alights

q petition Of Charles Scribeners'
Sons, publishers, asking that the
state be restrained from requiring
them to sell text books at specified
prices, began yesterday, were con-
tinued today before Federal Judge

The Illinois school book law re-
quires that publishing firms file

state officials. The law provides

The publishers allege that the

that prices of materials and other
expenses involved in publishing the
text books have increased to such
an extent that they can no longer
sell them probably at the prices
now on file.

FARMERS HOLD
ALL DAY, MEET


Members Of the Marston home
bureau unit entertained $50 farm
bureau members and their wives
yesterday at the Baptist church at
Marston. A chicken dinner was
served in the basement of the
church at noon and the entire aft
ernoon was taken up with q pro-
gram Of speaking ana singing. One
Of the home bureau songs, which
the home bureau quartet sang,
proved very popular while the farm
bureau quartet was called back
again and again for encores.
Farm bureau members Of that
community took the opportunity
yesterday OF organizing themselves
into q unit for community, welfare.
John Vetter was elected chairman
and Jasper Lloyd secretary. Dur
ing the summer months regular
meetings will be held on the first
Monday night Of each month until
cropping season begins, and then
it is very likely that the monthly
meetings will occur on the after
Moons of the first Monday in the
month.
The purpose Of this organization,
as subsidiary of the farm bureau,
is to render those services to the
community which it is impossible
for the farm adviser to give as an
individual. II some condition in
the community needs organized
support for the general welfare OF
the residents this organization will
be in a position to call meetings
and give the public an opportunity
to handle the situation. In addi-
ton to this, IL farm bureau mem
bers wish tc purchase commodities
which are not handled by the regu-
lar distributing agency, the mem
bers may .eport their names to the
local chairman, who will assemble
orders for the community. Al
though most everything of this ma
ture can be purchased through the
cooperative farmers elevator and
| the farm bureau Office, "a such in
stances as collective buying it will
serve as a clearing house for the
various community organizations
1t is probable that these organ.
izations will be started in every
community in Mercer county dur
ing the spring season.
