"DO YOU WANT YOUR DAUGH- TER TO MARRY A FARMER?" Sixty-one out of sixty-four North Carolina farm women answer "yes" 'and they back up their answers with some perfectly good reasons. They do not think of themselves as poor nard-working drudges, lonely and is olated and with no social life to break the monotony of their exis tence on the contrary they seem to be perfectly well satisfied and are contented with their lot as farmers wives. They find joy, happiness and , contentment on the farm and in the homes and have such hope in the fu ture that they want their daughters to become farmers wives. a Some of the most important rea sons for this are: good health condi tions, the ever ready supply of good wholesome food such as fresh veg etables, butter, milk, chickens and eggs (gee, I believe I'll move to the farm), the balanced physical and mental growth that comes from liv ing close to nature and seeing the beauties of His handiwork, the close business partnership between hus band and wife and the friendly dis cussion of all business problems. , Modern home conveniences such as running water, electric light and power for washing; consolidated ru ral schools, papers and magazines, home demonstration work, automo biles and good roads, all these and more go hand in hand toward making life on the farm worth living. With a hope for the future and with a vision of what rural life can become rather than what it is today these farm'women expressed a belief that the time would soon come when the country women would have all advantages now possible to the city women and in addition to these the many comforts and pleasures that come only to those living in the country as farmers wives. .Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Setzer return ed to their home in Columbia, S. C, after spending several weeks with relatives in Lenoir and Morganton. Yrs.

The 'day you notify us that the money to do this work has been placed in -the bank to our credit we will go to work.
