Farm Women Turn
on Those Plying
Them as Subjects

Chicago, Jan. Protests by farm
women against being called over
worked and downtrodden have follow
ed steps taken by the American FAR
Bureau Federation for a national or
ganization of women on the farm.
Farm women in numbers are be-
ginning to realize the harmful effect
of this old fashioned publicity" de-
clares Mrs. Izetta Brown of King
wood, w. Va, leader in this move
ment
"The farm women who have awak-
ened to their own possibilities say
quite frankly that they want to start
a campaign of optimism about coun-
try life. They don't want to be pitied
nor patronized, just understood-and
if possible, a little idealized. They
would appreciate it for change"
For hte first time the movement
is general all over the United States
for farm women to join the farm
clubs of various Sorts, Mrs. Brown
reports. -
'By working in clubs in various
communities the farm women have
learned the value of organized effort
in improving country life conditions"
she said.
81 know of one little community of
about rs families in West Virginia
where the school teacher and others
had talked for years about piping
running water into the school house
from a spring just up the hill. The
first year after the farm women or
ganized into a club they saw to it
that the spring water was piped into
the school.
"There is something easy to be done
in each community that will improve
living and social conditions and each
little success is leading the enter
priseing farm women on to higher
ideals.
"They are realizing their power in
bringing about better school condi-
tons for others children and each
time anything is done to make the
boys and girls happier and more con-
tented, the mothers know they are
increasing the chances of holding the
children on the farm.
81 think that is the keynote of the
rebellion hghinst tah fdowntrodden
and overworked' publicity. The mo-
theirs realize that only too often the
children get the city folks point
of view when it is expressed as de-
preciating farm life"

Council Considers
Abolishing Fees to
Impounding Officer

That the giving of half of the i'm
pounding fees to policemen who bring
in stray cows is not fair to the tax
payers who are already paying sal
aries to the policemen was the con-
tention of Alderman Mullis at last
nights council meeting. Mr.. Mullis
admitted later that the police had
arrested one of his cows and left it
in the pound five days without food
or water.
Other aldermen agreed that pay to
policemen of half the pound fee was
not right, and not in accord with the
newly resolved policy of economy.
Chief Fennell explained the hardships
of catching cows at night when the
streets and waste places are "half
leg" deep in water, and council re-
versed english and did nothing about
abolishing the fees-for the present.
1t may be necessary to revise an or
dinance, it was explained.

Of securing the school auditorium for
the union evangelical campaign serv-
ices and passed resolution asking
the school board to rescind its ac-
ton in refusing the use of the au-
ditorium.
Chairman Doc Warren, of the "On
