republican management OF national
and state affairs and nomination of
ten candidates on a state ticket, for

form pledged increased employment
and prosperity. which, 1t asserted, had
been lost under republican control.
1.-THE democratic party is more than
ever convinced" said the platform
plank on national affairs. that If the
league of nations and Versailles
treaty had not failed Of ratification
by a republican Senate, the readjust-
ment period would have been over
long ago, and world peace and pros
perity would now be assured, our
foreign markets maintained and the
high ideals conceived by Woodrow
Wilson realized"
Among the candidates are Joseph
H. Shea, ambassador to Chile during
the Wilson administration. for judge
Of the supreme court. The only
woman candidate. Miss Ella Craw-
ford, declined to permit her name

Of the court, and two men contested
for this nomination, which was won

less than a whisper now, for the dis

show that women are still devoted to
long lines and slimness and that they

Slightly over half of the farm homes do not have
an automobile-not even 'tin Lizzie" The other
half have automobiles.
If this county is indeed typical of rural condi-
tons everywhere, the lot Of the farm women is not
an attractive one. The financial returns of farm
ing are such that few families can afford hired
help to relieve the women of some of the hard
work and long hours. Few of the homes have
labor-saving devices and modern conveniences
This is reflection the farm folks, male or fe-
male. Few if any farmers would refuse their
women folks help and conveniences in the home, if
it could be afforded The plain facts are that
farming is not profitable business and can not
be till organization and fighting for their rights
bring farmers relief Then farm women will
be we'll off the city women-better off, for the
country is healthier for mind and body than the

Making Hay While the Sun Shines.

Most of us earn more money than is required
to take care of our actual needs, but too many
of us fail to lay aside something for that in
evitable rainy day. We have had some inter
esting illustrations in the news in the past
few days. Detroit lawyer who has never
made less than $4,000 year for three decades
reports that he is bankrupt. His wife and
children wondering where the next meal is
coming from. A who earned big wages
during the war and who had a new automobile
each year is now borrowing money to meet
hospital expenses while he undergoes a minor
operation. southern planter who earned
more than a good living and who had enough
money to a string of race horses a few
years ago, died last week in poverty. song
writer who composed some of the most popu-
lar melodies of the past two decades and who
received weekly royalties of $3.50, died last
week in the poor house
The who salts some money away each
week may not be particularly popular with the
boys-but he is acting wisely. The man who
lives within his income may not be elected
president of the FOUNDERS club-but he is
making provisions for the Gay ahead. The man
who denies himself luxury in order to provide
against the rainy day may not be known as a
good fellow-but he will have some money in
the future when his spendthrift associates are
worrying about their finances.
