It's Best For Widow To Live
Her Own Life, Millett Says

band had, either get a small apart
ment alone or share one with an
other lone woman. 1t isn't good
for a woman who is used to having
a kitchen to try to get along in a
small bedroom.
She should keep right on seeing
her old friends, and making new
ones to fill the gaps left by those
who will move away or die. In fact,
she will probably have o time
for friends now than she has ever
had in her life before. She must be
careful not to give in to feeling
sorry for herself and for her lot in
life, or she will drive them from her.
In just a year or two, the widow
who goes it alone will find herself
far better off, far happier, and
much more contented with her place
in the world than the widow who
takes the easy way out and moves
in with a son or daughter.
So let's not call her noble, let's
call her smart.

Prices on Farm
Goods Go Up

Improved industrial production
and payrolls were reflected in a
general increase in the local farm
market price Of important Wash
ington agricultural products dur
ing the month ended Aug. Is, u. s.
department of agriculture reported
today.
OF 20 commonly-sold products,
only one item-hay-was in def
nitely weaker position, according
to senior agricultural statistician
H. C. r. Stewart.
Wheat held firm at so cents per
bushel, as in the previous month,
and three products-oats, barley
and sheep-recorded unusual gains.
Wholesale commodity prices
drifted downward in July. Stew
art said, wiping out most of the
advances which followed outbreak
of the European war. Neverthe-
less. farmers are getting slightly
better" prices now, he emphasized,
except for rye, hay and chickens.
Lower temperatures and scat
tered rainfall in the latter part
Of August aided green vegetable
crops in the Puget Sound area.
Clear weather in Yakima was ia
vorable for melon growers, but
Spokane county truck areas needed
rain this month for cabbage yields.
Carlot movement and truck ship
ment of celery. late onions and
spinach gradually were approach
ing the peak, expected in October.
