(From the Wilkes Patriot ! j We note where the University of i Nebraska has inquired into the place i the farmer's wife occupies in farm economy, and it reports that if she; was paid on the same basis as other: people her yearly earnings would i amount to four thousand dollars. I First, as cook, she earns flu a week, j And at that has no days off and isi expected to be on the Job all the! time. She generally Is, as every farm er's wile in three thousand miles of -Wilkesboro can testily. Then, "she1 does all the washing and ironing, and j for that she Is allowed 5 per week. On an average there are 19 daysi of sickness each vear on a farm and . in those trying times the farmer's' wife if she is not the one who is sick, has to be nurse. For this the man who made the figures allows 175 per year, assuming the wage of a nurse in the country is $25 a week. I She does the sewing and should be credited w ith $fi a week for that. Add to all these Items the fact that she does the scrubbing and cleaning, pic kling and preserving and teacher for the children, and the man at the University says she easily earn $4.(KMi a year. And we are ri?ht here to agree that it's not too m u-'h and to ask at the same lime, how manv of them cver get it? Tin y bear the bulk of the burden, and tliey bear it witnout grumbling. So our advice to the iitistuind of any one of them Is to remember, next time he Is asked for the price of a new dress, that he's getting off pretty cheap as it Is when jhe figures that he has a $4,000 a year I employe who Isn't costing him much more than her board and lodging. rtt a t 1 ' 1 7 W.7 SEW UrCall hum 20o4 XFM- JYGifl Pattern 20o9 Service Don't Mean "Giving Away1 IT OFT EX MEANS HUNTING THE MARKET FOR THE BEST MERCHANDISE 4)1 H FABRICS ARE REAL VALUES OIK STYLES ARE FACE SETTERS Queen Cloth Zephyrs 20 cents Renfrewa Zephyr Madras ; 30 cents Renfrews Devonshire 37H cent?

Redwine Gorgeous Caves The Oregon caves, which a hunter stumbled upon in 1874, by no means equal the Mammoth Cave of Ken tucky In extent, but far surpass that of any other known cave in this coun try In natural splendor. Water, saturated with carbonate of lime, seeping from the ground above, has slowly incrusted the whole sur-. Tuce of the cave. Ceilings and walls; are frescoed; alcoves, balconies anil corridors are fringed with the ii" : Immaculate of draperies; floors have; the lustre of silk and look as If never meant for the tread of mortal feet. The formations are curious; many bear actual or fancied resemblance to objects of various kinds weird, ; fantastic, awesome. Everywhere rrys ; t;il facets gleam in response to tie explorer's light. Here the walls glow ; softly as If with the sheen of velvet; there they blaze as if with the twinkle distant stars reflected in myraids of mirrors; everywhere diamond-like joints and facets scintillate with fire and color. ' The caves have not been wholly ex plored, but the visitor can travel per- ! haps three miles and a half under ground. The trip takes three hours. The entrance to the caves Is twenty seven miles from the nearest railway ( station. I Majesty of the Ijiw. I Mistress: "1 should think you , would be ashamed to let that police-, i.nm kiss you." .Maid: "Yes, but how could I re sist the law?" . i Is This Your Town? A fly one day In hungry mood Began to search around for food. And coming to a grocery store. It Hew right through the unscreened door. It teemed 'to know the place quite well; Pei haps it knew the way by smell. It got its breakfast before long Within the closet next door. And where a typhoid carrier stayed Who every day a visit made. And left excretionH in the ahack A filthy hole with open back. And here the fly at peep o' day Went in to eat as was its way. And incident ly laid some eggs Within this tilth and human dregs. And from this mess six score would pass In half a score of days alas! A II y has taste, is fond of sweets. And when a savory dlrh it meets, It vomits what it ate before, And then begins to eat some more, It may alight on your dessert. And vomit there ah, does It hurt? Stand in a store and look around. And soon the filthy pest Is found Promenading on the fruit In an unscreened box the brute! Sugar's sweet, and there it goes, And there it stays till time lo close. Can one who sells such food as tht E'er claim that he is no; remiss? As sure as God in hei. in lives, A man's a murderer if he gives Infected food to imii' or child To close that store- a -end nee mild! And yet disease and (:;lh are spread, And not a single won! is s.iid; And if there ia a law for Rtich, It surely can't anion:;! to much, Disease and death may claim the street Where cowards live who have cold feet And what is said above i true; You know it is, what will you do? "A dirty town it is," they say, "And others are the same old way," Is your reply yon b-t it rest. And nothin's done to fight the pest.
