Eclp the Women First.
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,
