Farm Leisure

N Farm women, it is reported, are enjoy ing the increased farm income as much ss the men. There is new machinery in the house as well as new tractors in the fields and electrical equipment in the barns. An Ohio farmer is little worried about it, fearing "all these electrical things are going to make the women lazy"
 There's his wife, for example. She now has an electric washing machine and has been seen by her husband sitting down looking at newspaper while the washer worked. She has also an electric mangle, toaster, percolater, stove, waffle iron, ra- dio, and SO on. When this couple were married the wife was "lucky to have hand pump in the kitchen"
 Why should the farmer worry, how ever, SO long as the washing gets done, the meals are served and the general housework is promptly dispatched? As for sitting down, the farmer himself comes in now and then during the day time to listen to the radio-especially weather and market news.
 It doesn't seem as if such conveniences and pleasures should really undermine Stalwart character or make anybody lazy. They might, on the other hand, make farm life more attractive for the young people who otherwise have been slipping away to the crowded cities and office jobs.

Pianist In Politics

Paderewski world-famous pianist and Polish patriot, closed his piano during the World War to serve his country in government. In 1919 he retired from public life to rest and regain his health Now he is returning to politics.
 Having withdrawn from active life in Poland" explains Paderewski, where further work was made impossible for me, left with all loyalty free hand to those who came into power after me. l did not point out their errors. l did not rejoice at news of their failure. On the contrary, waited patiently for positive results of the work of my successors.
 "Alas, however, waited in vain! In Poland things are constantly getting worse. The splitting up of the com munity into camps which are fighting one another is becoming more and more apparent and threatens to become per- manent condition. So came to the con- yicticn that it would be wrong for me to remain silent longer"
 He issued a manifesto urging Poles to resist Fascispl. It was confiscated by the government, but not before it had been widely read. Paderewski, like the late Thomas Masaryk of CzechoSlovakia, is a true patriot who puts his country's well fare first, his own success and fame last 1t looks now as if his work in the war years and immediately after may have been in vain. The people have been fol- owing false leaders. ft.xs,; :;

Appointment of Colonel Thomas Hewes as temporary State Treasurer still leaves much speculation as to the identity of the person who eventually will hold the office. There is more than year of the late John s. Addis' term still to be served. He would not have completed it until January, 1889. By that time another state election will have occurred and per- haps the permanent appointee of Gov ernor Cross to this important office may have been endorsed for the job. It is a difficult office to fill and one that will very likely bring criticism no matter who gets it.

Selected Poem
oCToBERS BRIGHT BLUE WEATHER By Helen Hunt Jackson-Boston Post Reprint

- O suns and skies and clouds of June, And flowers of June together Ye cannot rival for one hour
 OctoberS bright blue weather. When loud the bumblebee makes haste Related, thriftless vagrant, And Golden Rod is dying fast,
 And lanes with grapes are fragrant; When Gentians roll their fringes tight, To save them for the morning, And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
 Without sound of warning; When on the ground red apples lie
 In piles like jewels shining, And redder still on old stone walls
 Are leaves of woodbine twining. When all the lovely wayside things Their white-winged seeds are sowing, And in the fields still green and fair, Late attermfths are growing; When springs run low and on the brooks, In idle golden freighting, Bright leaves sink noiseleSs in the hush Of woods for winter waiting; When comrades seek sweet country haunts By twos and twoS together, And count like miserS, hour by hour, Octobers bright blue weather. o suns and skies and flowers of June, Count all your boasts together, Love loveth best of all the year
 Octobers bright blue weather.

The average father or mother who picks up the youngsters geography to- day is as confused by the maps as prob ably the boy or girl on first sight. Yet they aren't any more puzzled than geog- raphers, The map of Europe has shifted around so much since 1910 that it's been hard job to keep up with it. And the same is true of European history, too. Down in Washington the officials have a volume International Transfers of Territory in Europe"-which is about the most authoritative you could get. So if in doubt consult the State Department.

FOREIGN MARKETS UNSTABLE

Expectations Of aples from the Pacific North
west last season were unusually light, due to the
small national crop in this country, the relatively
high price and restrictions on mportations by the
European countries. Exporters were forced to CON
tend with many factors which crntailed the move
ment off fruit. y II
Unfortunately. arbitrary regulations prevented
a free movement of the fruit to consumers across
the Atlantic. Europeans would have used more
American apples, if they had been permitted to
do So but there is limit to the quantity that for
eign countries will take.
The European market is always low. for com
sllmers must have the fruit at reasonable prices,
if they are to it, This situation cannot be
changed. When domestic prices are high exports
obviously are restricted, and exporters must be
content to take less for the fruit than the prices
ruling ON the domestic market
Production of apples is on such scale in this
country that Approximately 20 per cent of the ton
mage must be marketed abroad, but conditions
each season determine the suantitv which can be
exported. Yakima Herald.

BETTER FARM ROADS

From expressions at the meeting of county
commissioners one may conclude the demand is
general for single lane roads of low cost for the
benefit of farmers. While it is proper to let paved
roads radiate from the main shipping points, the
needs of farmers hauling their crops to market
should not be overlooked.
City interests have in the past dominated the
road program to large extent. Farmers had to
fight for improvements in the country. Since
many roads are now paved into country districts,
some attention may properly be given to the I'M
provement of side roads. Much of that has already
been DONE but there is still need for putting many
roads in shape so farmers may get over them with
reasonable ease.
No road is really satisfactory until paved or
oiled according to the latest methods, yet the cost
is so great that road construction can 90 just SO
far. However, such improvements as are possible
by diverting funds for use should be made for
farmers living in the more outlying districts.

GULL CONTROL NEEDED

With somewhat larger crop OF apples IN sight
both locally and in the country as whole the
need for strict Gull control has not been lessened to
anv extent There will be plenty of culls, and the
temptation to ship and sell them will be just as
This means that the work Of the Union Fruit
Producers in assisting in the work OF policing Gull
shipments, is vitality needed. 1t was the vlgllant
INSPECTION work done by the Producers last year
that checked Gull shipments and helped to restore
the lost markets. Of this state to the industry.
The machinery for Gull shipment control has
been set up by state law, but the help of the IN
ion Fruit Producers is still needed to make this
control effective. 1t should not be forgotten that
the state made any genuine, sincere effort
to stop Gull shipments until the Union Fruit Pro-
ducers came into the picture Wenatchee World.
