81 believe that Gods plan for woman is
higher and holier than field work, and l
pledge myself at the earliest highest date to
take my daughters from the field"
We do not know what Gods plan for wo-
man is
drinking, carousing and holding the same kind
of positions" and offices that we hold.
Another might say that she is the equal of
man. and should bear with him the burdens
of fe-wearing short hair, the same kind OF
clothes that man wears, voting, smoking,
One might say that she shall be a slave to
man. as she once was, and as she now is in
some countries.
Another would say, of course, that women
are to be ladies and men are apt to support
them. They are the weaker sex and must be
given the light end of the load.
Much depends upon the kind of civilization
you have.
Christian civilization has certainly made
things lighter on the woman. It has given her
less work and more honors.,.~ But 4reverting to
the subject of the woman working in the
fields, the Observer will say that there is some
thing wrong with it. The woman looks out
of place in the field. 1t is mans work if
there is to be any distinction.
The women and children should be taken
out of the fields
Especially from blowing, picking cotton in
hot weather, cleaning up ground and burning
grass and trash. There are things around the
farm home that the women and children can
do to make them useful and maybe profitable.
They can serve the farmer best by withdraw
ing them from the work of making field crops.
If the farmers will take the women and
children out of the fields they will reduce pro-
ducton to point where there will be good
price and good profit coming to the men for
all they make. 1t is cheap labor that is pro-
ducing cheap farm products. 1t is the labor
of women and children that is doing more
than any thing else to make. farming dis
agreeable and an Improbable business.
We say take the wife and the daughter
from the field. Bring in the boys to do light
work around the house. Leave the long hours
and the rough jobs in the rain and hot sun to
the men, Moultrie' Observer.

Navy Uniforms Disliked

Who designed the navy uniform?
Many persons must have pondered
the service or the propriety of the
peculiar garb! 1.-THE sailor boys them
selves are making a protest over it,,
They say the. army uniforms have
changed style and colorz>a number OF
times. They are kept up to date.
No one knows how long the navy
style has been the same, and that
without any good reason of looks or
comfort. The boys are tired of their
pancake hats. They, too, need visors
for their eyes They are awkward in
their foppy bell-bottomed trousers on
sea or Shore they deplore the
lack of pocket big enough to carry
a pack of cigarettes. Their neck
dressing lacks dignity and altogether
they fee like bunch of "cake eat
ers" when on shore, especially to the
"gobs" they meet. "Why must we
stick to these duds?" the sailor boys
ask.

Fashion and Beauty
. ~ By M;

> A French lecturer on the subject
of beauty made disparaging COM
ments on the lack of taste displayed
by American women in their own
dress and in the furnishings of their
home. More money spent with less
artistic effect is the conspicuous fault
of American women. The women
dress too much alike for one thing,
following the fads of the moment
with little individuality in the choice
of the becoming and the appropriate.
Too many ge-gaws is another mistake
and the houses are cluttered with
ornaments that have no harmony or
use. Early American furniture is
said to have the element Of beauty,
but the Grand. Rapids ..".aheratipn,s'
has displaced this entirely. In Frank.
fort, Germany, there is a school OF
designing that has as on of its fea.
lures an exhibit termed the museum
of horrors. Sad to say American
furniture and American stove mon.
strosities form the largest part of the
exhibit.

Pensions for Preachers

The Presbyterian church has COM
mitted itself to a plan of providing
for it's aged ministers that is founded
on business-like policy such as the
Prudential Life Insurance company
has found effective. 1t calls for an
assessment of 10 per cent of salaries
being paid by the churches, the
church to pay seven and one-half per
cent and the minister only two and
.one-half per cent to raise the reserve
fund of $15,OOO,OOO that is stipu-
lated. There must be a ;sscnt of
1000 churches and 1850 y c.chers
before the plan can be enforced.
This seems certain as $500 churches
and $500 ministers have already COM
piled. The pensioning age will be
that usually designated, IS years.
