JobWork Attended to. fireless cookers these days, and mear- ly every enterprising farm women's society has given this topic a prom - fent place on ts sesason's program. However, in passing t may be fnter- esting to you to learn what Mrs. Wid- toe told the women who attended the tirst Congress of Farm Women at Col- ogado Spring last fall, where She gave a very excellent paper on labor-Bav- ing. devices, . In order to gain material and statls- tics for this paper Mrs. Widstoe made personal canvass of many farm homes. On one farm in particular she found all of the most improved imple- ments, such as plows, dis harrows, drills, cultivators, rakes, binders, ate., Jeft right where they had been used last, exposed to the elements which wrought such havoo that many parts of the machinery had to be:removed every five years. In estimating the Value of this equipment, Mra, Widtsoe sald she was sure ft miust have cost at least 14,000, perhaps more. In the home of this same. apparently prosper- ous farmer there was only a sewing machine to help: the woman with her work, and this was expected to last a lifetime and must on no account be used by the children, Another farm home visited where the equipment was more evenly balanced. There were not only good implements for the field. work, but there was a water system in the house, washing and sewing machines, a bread mixer, vacuum cleaner, and a rosy cheeked happy mother surrounded by obedient, joyous children. This man was called extravagant by his neigh- bors, simply because he had spent'a fair share of his income to make his home a better place to live in. zl Benefits of Better Homes Better homes are directly the Te- sult of rested mothers, not especially patient mothers, because there is a certain kind of patience which amounts to suppression and has a de- pressing effect on all those who have to live insclose contact with it. The fretty, tired, discouraged mother is not only a poor homemaker, but no fit companion or governor for growing children. I say this advisedly:because I know from experience that fretti- ness, that tired utterly discotiraged feeling which quite unfits a mother for her work, and when allowed to be- come chronic, turns this beautiful world of ours into a wilderness of des olation. What I chiefly want to talk about in discussing the subject of The Bet- terment of Rural Home Life, is the farm woman's attitude toward the con- ditions which surround her home. Out here on the prairies the serious work of nation buildin is going on. Until this western country was opened up to the great army of homeseekers, which have swarmed over our land, Canada as a nation was simply a little fringe of people along the border with a vast almost unknown frozen terri- tory stretching away indefinitely tow- ard the north, Comparatively few years have wrought the change which has placed Ganada among the proud- est and most prosperous nations and the prairie farmer and lis brave wife have done it all. We have demonstrat- who were: convinced supporters ed to the whole world that we have the best soll and the best wheat, and we must keep up this high standard ih our homes, We need the-ruralcliirch-with the apiritual uplift and social intercourse it affords, we need the model rural school for the education of our. chil- dren; we need good roads to.enabie us to attend these institutions, but we must haye homes for the growth and development of wholesome man and womanhood, When I look over the prairies I mar- vel at the courage and fortitude of the women who make their homes here: The monotony and drudgery of daily routine in such isolation. must mean homes neither edition has been taken fon Alie 2,500,000 regularly for at least two years, that 2 fully Wedein pew Wises oa hae fs, since It bag b en so Ciena FED i - 2 ond Ot aT ZOE a5 High schoot. i for 5 ecore : and Improved eee CE Its circulation is being doubled, and s W J s faciliti the:most popular paper among .

Thre Fatl Bear Your Burdens Alot I remember a very little child being down on Cotton plantation where the farmers Brow sheets and Pillow cases instead of bread as we do.here, and X watched the negro hands, filling the Sreat clumsy field baskets with the Soft white stuff. When they were full the wonien would swing the great things to their. shoulders and them to their heads and proudly bear them aloft across the field to the waiting wason. 1 have thought of this scene many times since I got to be m Woman, and when I am most discouraged or there is an aching sense of being overworked, I remember the negro cotton pickers and I try to shoulder my burdens and bear theni aloft It is the only way. If we hang Iife's cares and respensi- bilities about ouF Weak backs they will be very apt to drag us down to the: depthi Tam telling you'this because I want you to realize that homemaking or bettering ts first of all a mental pro- cess, and here, again, let me empha- size that it'ts the woman's attitude. toward her life and the conditions she must master that make or mar the peace and joy of her houschold. It does not matter whether the abode ia. a shack the prairie, or the more Prosperous and substantial farm house, or the-great towm mansion, it a only home because a woman makes it so. Just as the chemist tests milk and foods for their purity so home- making or bettering Is the test of our womanhood and we must not be found wanting. Dradgery of the Farm Life Dr, Wilson of New York City made the startling statement to the large gathering of farm women at Colorado Springs that it was the mothers who are responsible for the farm failure and the desertion of the farm by the young people, gasped, What could he mean? There was hardly a woman there but could tell of riaing, at 4 o'clock in the morning and drudging till dark, day In and day out, the year around. That His audience fairly was exactly where Dr. Wilson made his point Farm wives lived such hard, unlovely lves that thelr husbands be- came Giscouraged and their children left the farm to escape the awful drudgery that mother had endured. I belleye thig is true. A woman who: myst -be s wife, motffer, house- Keeper, gardener, poultry-Kkeeper, calf feeder, and several other things, can hardly be expected to have much time for ideals or real homemaking. There 4s one failing remedy for every ill or hardship whether it is experienced on an Isolated farm or fn ah equally fsolated city apartment building and it is the right altitude, It means bet- ter homes, happier children and a larger measure of contentment for the whole family circle. : In conclusion Mrs. Stavert predict ed a large attendance at the Second Congresa of Farm Women at Leth- bridge, Alberta, Oct. 21-25, and re ported great enthusiasm in the work wherever she. had travelled. Sir E. Grey's Opinion of Trish Home Rule Issue The British Side of the Question in 4 Preface to Harold Spender s Book An Appeal to Unionists. In a preface to Mr. Harold Spend- er s Home Rule , just published by Messrs, Hodder Stoughton, Sir Ed- ward Grey, Secretary for Foreign Af- fairs, says: It must surely be clear today to many of those who opposed the home Tule bill of 1893 that there is a prob- Jem of which the solution is now more urgent than ever. We Who were Glad- stonian home rulers approached the problem originally from the Irish side, those who did not then approach: it from that Side refused to admit the existence of any problem at all. Since that time circumstances have made it necessity to approacti the. problem from the British as well as from the Irish side, An Example to be Avoided The British Parliament has hither- to been regarded as a model to be imftated; if it continues to attempt) the impossible of. transacting business in detail, both local and Im- perial, it will end as an example to be avoided, During the last firty years the amount of work: demanded for particular portions of the United Kingdom, for the United Kingdom as a whole, or-for the Empire, has in- creased enormously: in all three cate- gorles the work is still Increasing and will increase. One Parliament can- Not do it all. This is one new aspect of, the home rule question. Mr, Sperter states the cage with force and sympathy from the Irish point of view, with, which tone of us of home rule twenty years ago can ever lose sympathy, and with which the younger generation should make it- self. acquainted: He makes also a very valuable and opportune yeview of recent changes in the situation, and considers how home rule should be adapted to British and Imperial needs and should serve them. The whole book is the result of his own Teflection, observation and research; the conetustoms to-whtch he comes for the settlement of the financial and other details of home rule ought to receive most careful consideration as valuable contributions to the dis- cussion of the subject. But, of course they must not be assumed necessar- ily'to be mine or to be those that will be adopted in the Government bill, A Reconelifation But I agree with him entirely that ness in Ireland, and to effect that reconciliation without which there cannot be real unfon; that it Is neces- sary to relieve Parliament at West- minster, and to set it free for work that concerns the United Kingdom as a whole or the Empire; in other words, that there is a problem: to be solved, and that the first step in solv- ing t must be Irish home rvle in a form that opens the way for Federal home rule, In the autumn of 1910 a consider- able part, at any rate, of the Con- servative party seemed ready to ad- mit the need for some solution; to- day they have apparently drifted back to the barren position of opposing all Proposals for home rule; if they were to render this solution impossible they would but make the problem more ur- gent. a : Railroad Labor Combining Mechanics of all Roads in Western States Holding Conference May Amalgamate into One Federa ion. (Special Kansas City, Mo,, Mar. 4. Delegates Tepresenting the shop trades on every Western railroad arc to hold a confer- ence this week with a number of prominent labor leaders and represen- tatives of the various other branches of organized raitroad labor, to perfect the detalls of a gigantic combination or confederation of all the mechanical trades on the rattroads west of the Mississippi River, A great deal of Preparatory work has been done al- ready, but there fs stiil much to be done before this far-reaching . plan can be brought to full maturi contemplate the formation of a terrl- torial organization of raitroad em- ployees that will include every rail- road operating west of the Misifsaip- pi Tiver. Before this ultimate result can be achieved, ft will be necessary to perfect a system of federations of the various organized crafts of every one of the western rallroads, Heretofore the mechanical trades of the various railroads were not federa- road companies, ng an under- standing among themselves, helped each other and the strikers were in- Variably defeated. Realfzing that their weakness was due to the lac he Lae een compctitions to News). but also system federations including combinations on every railroad be- tween the mechanical and the traffic trades of that railroad, in other words a federation of the shop men with the engineers, firemen, conductors and brakemen of each system. After these plang have been carried to full completion, the labor leaders believe, the mechanical trades will be in a position: to bring sufficient pres- Sure to bear upon the railroads to ob- tain from them the granting of their Wage demands hitherto refused.
