So well and pood. Our eteeueJ contemporary, by ovei look ins t.'ie most essential phase of the ware house system, has made out a fairly food case against the 25 cents cotton tax. That tax, which is only tempor ary, was levied for the purpose of ac cumulating a fund to guarantee state warehouse receipts, and with out this fund the system would be the failure that the Star and the Charlotte Observer have prouour.ced it to be. Union county has construct ed a warehouse by the the aid of a loan from this fund, and its receipts are good collateral at Boston and New York banks, whereas If they were issued by an Independent ware house, such as the Star proposes for ect.

WOUK OK FAIIMEK'S WIFE WOUTH 4KMi. EXPEKT SAYS That Sum Would be Demanded Year. ly by Hired Help Accomplishing ns luch as She Hoc. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 10. The work Of the average Nebraska farmer's wife is worth $4004 a year, accord ing to a painstaking survey made by Miss 'Margaret Fedde, head of the University of Nebraska, College of Agriculture Department of Home Economics. That is, if a farmer with a family of two or more children should at tempt to hire some one to do the work his wife does, and have it done as well as she probably does It, it would cost him $4004 a year at pres ent wages. Miss Fedde places the following values on the several tasks of the farmer's wife; Plannltis and serving the meals, CooUius, $10 a week $E- Washing and Ironing, two days a week at $2.50 a day .... Cleaning, scrubbing and general care of the house, two days a week at $2.50 a day 260 Sewing and mending for her self, niiHiianit and cliildien, two days a week at $3 a day Care o children and sick, $25 a week AsslstlnK hired man, helping with the milking, care of the milk, poultry, etc, $20 a week Miscellaneous, $6 a week .... having narrowly escaped being put ! the good in humanity Instead of stir- In an ice box at Trenton, Joseph: ring up the bad.

A survey of farm condl'io is made hy the 1'ni'ed tftrtt 3 Depart ment of Agriculture, y.iss Fedde ays, shows that farm women woi k an average of more inp.n f.irteen houis a day in the sumavi tirl ten and a vol( hour In the winter. The major ty of farm wonen have a lot of hard work to Co, cueli as cairying water for the lions'1, ete. In the government's survey, according to Miss FeJde, 61 per cent of the women carried water an arera of thirty-nine feet. Between ninety and a hundred per cent of them do their own baking, washing and sewing. Twenty-four per cent work in the fields, for which Miss Fedde made no allowance. More than eighty per cent of them care for poultry. Miss Fedd contends that the Ne bratka farmer's wife is fully up to t the average In Intelligence of the 'city and town woman, and where she engaged In other pursuits than that of the farm her income would equal, if not exceJ. the $400 she Is cred ited with earning, and with far less physical and mental exertion. The wives of Nebraska farmers. It U contended, have done as much. If not more, than the men to make agriculture in thi3 state profiltabel. In the grain crop failures In years of drought It was the women of the farm. It is asserted, who kept the wolf from the door by getting ejtgs, milking cows and selling butter" and milk. New South Wales reports a dis aster to its v beat crop as a result of a terrine rainstorm. It is estl-i mated that twenty per rent of the croo has been destroyed, the total loss being about 5,000.000. .

N. J.,.dispatch. Staub had. been absent from Amer ica twenty-eight years, most of the time in Hungary. He reached New York yesterday and started immedi ately for Atlantic City to Join his feons and daughters here. He was met in New York by a daughter, Mis. Yutte Liniver. When the train left the Pennsylvania Station she took a seat in the day coach and her father went into the smoker. Just as the train passed out of! Elizabeth station Staub half arose I from hi j seat, cried out hoarsely and fell back heavily. A physician on the train tried every meas tt resuscia tlon without avail and said the man was dead. A stretcher was obtained and the supposed dead body was car ried to the baggage car. A train tele gram was sent to a Trenton under taken to be on hand to receive the body there, but Just as the train reached that city the grief stricken daughter got permission to bring the body through to this city. The train had pulled out ef Tron tcu only a few minutes when the batgage man thought he saw Staub's right hand twitch. He called the phvsiciau otaln. and with the appli cation of smelling salts a noticeable convulsion passed through the body. A liitle later the "corpse'' began to kick. Then Staub sat up, looked about him and inquired what it was all rbont. He was able to walk with the as sistance of his daughter after he had alighted from the train here, and enlled out to a waiting undertaker thnt he vas a bit premature. Tonight Stftub had fully recovered. Excitement due to joy in anticipa tion of meeting his family after such a long separation was tlvpn hv his physician as the cause of the heart attack. The potato yield in Scotland ih 1920 has been very successful. It Is estimated that more than 1,230,000 tons of potatoes were produced. This is 400,000 tons more than last year and the largest return since 1885. The yield per acre was 7.6 tons. A new type of river boat, electri cally driven and propelled by a stern wheel, will soon appear on the Ohio River. Minus the paddle wheel at the stern the craft would have strong resemhlanc? to the freighters of the Great Lakes.
