are vital. They affect his life and

4 little history Of this man O'Neal
might not be amiss for it is learned
he and his wife came to this county
and TO the country around Sadorus 80
yeals ago this month. During this
period of years he also moved to Sa-
dorus where he served for two terms
as village president and in church
work has taken active part, as well as
for civic and moral uplift. He has
also farmed and for two years was
president of the Champaign County
Farmers Institute and also for two
years was treasurer of this organiZa-
ton. Some two score years ago when
the saloons left the Twin Cities Mr..
ONeal was then president of the
Champaign County Law Enforcement
organization. He is a charter member
of the Farm Bureau.
As a married man, he has been a
pal to his two sons and companion
to his three daughters. One son serv-
ed during the World War as a heuten-
ant of an artillery company. Mr..
ONeal stated to voters in Homer
THIS week that neither of his sons
would be affiliated in any way with
the sheriff's office in event he should
be the successful candidate.
In fraternal circles ne ranks high
among the Masons and for years has
been a leader in the Woodman fra
ternity; besides he says he is Repub-
lican and last but not least belongs
to the Methodist church, in which
he has been an ardent active worker,
for 30 odd years, and at present be-
longs to the Mems Bible Glass of the
First M. /. Church in Champaign,
said to be the largest class of men in
Champaign county.
With such qualifications he would
make good officer and be no respec-
tor Of person. He has the hearty sup
port Of the church people in the Twin
Cities, it is said, and they believe he
will win the nomination.

Women Wage
Farmers Increase
BY WILLIAM GREEN.


With the accumulation of statistical
studies, il Is evident that the number
of women employed In industry Is
steadily growing and that Women ale
an integral part Of the working force,
not substitutes or temporary en-
ployeS.
Nor may women be said 10 be work
ing merely to get additional spending
money The majority are bona flde
biea dwinnefs supporting themselves,
contributing to the family income OF
maintaining dependents. The studies
of the women's bureau of the United
States department Of labor shows
that IS percent Of all females over
Il yeasr of age are gainfully employ
ed. In 1920 they constituted one-fiith
of the total employed population.
OF the women employed $500 Al
percent were under Is years; 100
percent between Is and - years; 2l.2
percent between 20 and "a years,
400 percent between % and Al years
Isl percent i5 years and over.
The figures showing the distribution
of women workers by industries for
1910 and 1920 are: Manufacturing, l.
S20,570 and 1880, 34l; transportation
106,625 and 213,054; trade, 465,0Ss
and CO.. 1872; clerical occupations 593,-
224 and i,f26,l
Because of the size and the perma.
hence of this problem there is need
for sustained work to inject the prin-
eiple of organization within these
groups of workers. 1t is not an easy
undertaking to organize workers men
or women, unacquainted with the ira.
ditions and spirit Of group action. The
effort TO organize women wage earn
ers will require patience, intelligence
and vision.
