on wifehood and motherhood as the
job she has undertaken-her job, IN
which she must put both heart and
back if she is to make good job
of it; her job, in which she will
either make a success or a failure
according to the kind of work she
puts into it, according to the amount
of intelligence and enthusiasm, and
grit, and determination, and energy
with which she tackles it.
Strangely enough, although prac-
tically all women want to marry and
are more or less chagrined if they
are old maids, they are not proud
of their matrimonial jobs. Rather
they look upon the domestic occu-
patton with contempt as being in
some way serVial and of little credit
to those engaged in it.
Every woman who has made any
sort of a success in business. or any
profession, has hundreds of wives
and mothers say to her obviously:
'It must be wonderful to do things
as you do! How wish I had made
something out Of my life as you
have done out of yours
| why, you have done the great
est thing in the world" cries the
business or professional woman.
"You have made a happy home,
You've raised up a family of fine
girls and boys"
"Oh, that" says the wife and
mother with a shrug of her Shout
ders. But you've done big things"
1T is in vain that You tell a
woman that her job is the biggest
Job on earth. 1t is in vain that
you tell her that to write a six best
seller that will be forgotten in FIVE
years time is as nothing compared
/ to inscribing the precepts of right
| living on the blank tablets of little
children's souls. It is in vain that
you tell her that the greatest wom-
an doctor works no such miracle
of healing as the mother who can
kiss a hurt place and make it well.
1t is in vain that you tell her that
the most skillful interior decorator
can only assemble together furni-
| ture and rugs and draperies that
are a mass of junk until a wife a1l
= mother touches it and turns it into
home. 1t is in vain that you tell
her that the eloQuence of the most
gifted woman preacher is sounding
brass and tinkling cymbals beside
the word a mother whispers as she
tucks her children into bed.
1t is in vain that you tell her that
the famous women politicians and
famous women reformers and WON
en- educators are only valuable as
they work through the mothers. for

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
hat rocks the cradle rules the
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

t0at rocks the cradle rules the
World.
The mothers only shake their
heads unconvinced, and wish that
they had something worth while to
do. like writing for A newspaper, or
painting pictures that sell, or being
highly paid private secretary.
OF course, women are not really to
hiame for taking this disparaging
view Of wifehood and motherhood.
Even the government, in the census
report, lists running a home and
raising q family among the ron-pro
.ductiVe occupations.
Small wonder, for in only too many
households the woman who tolls
fourteen hours a day for her hus
band and children is expected to
work for her board and clothes, and
never has a penny given her as
just reward for her labor.
This is why domestic women, who
see other women having jobs which
carry with them a pay envelope and
which show a definite achievement,
regard their work with so little en-
thusiasm, and so often turn out such
bungling jobs.
This is a pity, for nothing would
do more TO take matrimony out of
the extra hazardous risks class and
put it into the category Of sure
things than for women to quit look
ing upon marriage as the end Of q
romance, or the beginning. of a rest
cLre, and to regard it as a big life
job for which they have qualified,
and in which they mean to use the
same tactics to succeed that they
would use in any other line.
The woman who goes into a bust
ness or a profession first prepares
herself for what she intends to do.
she goes through years of hard
study and grueling apprenticeship
to her trade, She wouldn't expect
to practice medicine or sing in grand
opera without ever having seen a
doctors book or sung a note. Why
SHOULD not the woman who under
takes the job of running home
prepare herself equally well for do
ing it?
Cooking is no more a matter of In.
spiration than law is. A knowledge
of how to cater economically no more
comes by nature than does the tech
nique of writing. All craftsmanship
is the result of expert knowledge,
and this only comes by doing the
sane thing over and over again.
If girls prepared themselves for
their jobs as wives and mothers as
thoroughly as they do for the job
of a stenograrher or a file clerk, it
would go n long way toward securing
the health and happiness and pros
perity of their homes.
When a woman takes any other
job she does so with the idea of Civ
i..g satisfaction and making it sue.
cess. Very few marriages would be
failures if women tried as hard to
get along with their husbands as
they do with their bosses, or their
customers or clients, and il they
were as much Oh their tiptoes to
pull off good job as wife and
mother as they are to be a cracker
jack buyer or WIN a big law suit.
Furthermore, a woman knows that
she gets out of her job just what she
puts into it. II she puts into it every
bit of her heart and soul and energy
and ambition, she always succeeds

any wife ever fail. who put these
qualities into her job?

Fine Apples Grown
In Barlow County

CARTERSVILLE, Ga, Sept. s.
Adding further proof to the fact that
Barlow county products are second
TO none, H. L. Jolly. a farmer, re-
siding four miles west of White, has
brought IN samples of extra fine APP
pies of the delicious" variety.
Mr. jolly has been experimenting
in horticulture and specializing in
apples for several years, and he
now has over 200 bearing trees, bear
ing politically, with others coming
into bearing from year to year.
This year, he will get more than
200 crates of apples, and of such
fine quality are they that he has no
trouble in disposing of them at IS
a crate.
His orchard is on a high hillside,
about the frost line, and during the
season he has sprayed it seven
times. The result is apparent in the
fine fruit he has exhibited to friends
here.
Mr.. Jolly says that careful atten.
ton, and d study of the needs of APP
pie trees will amply repay any farm
er. Naturally, he is proud of his or
chard, and will take pleasure in
showing and explaining to any one
interested how he, too, can profit
bly, grow this fruit.

Three-F ourths Majority
Should Rule in Juries,
Judge HUMPHREYS Says

1T is my opinion hat our laws
should be so revised IS 70 empower
d traverse jury 20 return a verdict
on a majority of three-fourths or
five-siXths, instead of requiring that
they be unanimous as al present"
This statement was made by
Judge John D. HUMPHREYS, of the
first criminal division of the Fulton
superior court, in the course of his
charge to the September grand jury
at the opening of the term Tuesday
morning. George Winship was
elected foreman of the grand jury.
II understand, said Judge
HUMPHREYS, that such revision in
the law would be out of your power
and mine, but l simply throw it, out
as a thought because I am inclined
to believe that a jury verdict should
not be held up indefinitely by one
Or two who fail to agree after the
courts have gone to all the time and
expense necessary for a fair and
scientific trial:
"Our courts have been constituted
the great bulwark between our citi
zenry and the relatively small mum
Der of criminals and we should do
all in our power to make them as
efficient as possible"
Judge HUMPHREYS gave the grand
jury in his charge all the provisions
of the criminal law. vigorously
scored lawlessness and the indiffer.
ence to law enforcement and urged
the grand jury to do everything in
its power to bring about proper en-

3 Mules Burned
In $4,000 Fire

CARTERSVILLE. Ca, Sept. a.
A fire starting from unknown cause,
in the stables of J. A. Vaughan,
prosperous farmer and miner living
three miles north of Gainesville, re-
suited in the loss of tWenty-three
head of mules, two to three thous'
and dollars worth of farm machin-
cry, and about a thousand dollars
worth of feedStuffs.
The fire was dicovered about mid
night Saturday night, and before
help arrived, the stock was burned
to death, and only one mule escaped
from the stable.
Mr.. Vaughan and members. of his
family were away from home, and
his tenants were at a frolic, about
two miles away. Neighbors seeing
the flames rushed to the Vaughan
farm, but found they could do moth
ing.
There is no telling how the fire
started, says Mr.. Vaughan, whose
loss of fully ten thousand dollars is
hardly half covered by insurance.
