The more we see of practical life in the home, the more thor oughly are we convinced that conveniences in the house should take preference over those at the barn or in the machinery depart ment. TV rmrn. the machinery, and all that id raided on the farm are supposed to lend themselves solely to the refinement and bet terment of the home. All our labor is for the maintenance of a home in which to spend our days on earth. It is for the sake of a home that every man strives for a place in the business world and a share of the good things of life. Why, then, do we so often see the natural order reversed and the house left to get along in some way with the old fash ioned tools of labor that have sent so many country women to our asylums, while the farm work is being done in easy ways? We insist that running water, power washing, and a woodpile under cover at the door are posi tive necessities if the women are to manage their part of home making on an economical scale.'

The News makes no apology for again asking "What will you read this winter?" Despite all arguments to the contrary young people grow up to think in the channels along which they are ed by what they read. Parents who honestly review their own ives can recall instances when what they read left an influence that has followed them for good or for evil down to the present moment. Will these parents criminally neglect to see to it that their growing boys and girls have wholesome reading matter placed at their disposal? Boys and girls will read something whatever can be procured. One earnest parent in a neighborhood can start a movement to organ- ze a reading club that will re sult in as much good this winter as will probably, be accomplish ed by a Sunday school and that is saying a good bit Let each member buy one book or sub scribe for one magazine.. Then, f there are six members there will be six good books to be read this winter at a cost of but one to each member. Try it friends, Public Sale.
