the rural population beyond belief;
and that would cause land values to

The comfort of all concerned
should be taken into account in

that turns corn into lard, bacon,

and if he stays out in the rain, sleeps
in a cold mudhole, or is uncomfor

the corn is going to try to make him
comfortable instead of making him
fat. So it will cost more to fatten
the hog and hence you get less pro

the housework should be made so
easy that it becomes a pleasure in

such as to allow the chores to be
done with the least amount of labor.

on resolutions adopted at the after
noon session, the Hardware Associ
ation of the Carolinas, in session
here, yesterday telegraphed Gover-
Locke Craig of North Carolina that
four hundred members of the or
ganization are standing behind him
in the fight to secure lower freight
rates for Carolina cities.
The resolutions declare that the
dealers will continue to fight until
freight rates are put on the same
equitable basis as those now enjoyed
by cities in Virginia. The resolu
tions were adopted after an address
by Norman H. Johnson, in which he
urged prompt and vigorous action
"As long as you have legislators who
talk for th'e people and are privately
controlled by the railroads you will
get no relief," he said.

Wayne Colby of Libertyville
boasted today that he stayed home
yesterday and wrestled with the
family wash while Mrs. Clara N. Col
by his wife went to take part in the
first election in this State in which
women voted.
Just to show that it was not such
a terrible thing for a man to stay at
home and do the housework on the
occasional voting day," said Mr.
Colby without a trace of apology in
his tone, I though I would help Mrs.
Colby out with the washing.
This Twentieth Century husband
did not admit that he had taken that
course to make the stock jest of the
anti-suffrage joke writers seem plaus
ible he insisted that he toiled in the
laundry while hi3 wife was at the
polls merely to give an object lesson
to other men.
Mrs. Colby while her husband was
getting a backache over the tubs and
scorching his fingers with flatirons,
was prominent in the Libertyville
election which was to settle the ques
tion whether $10,000 should be spent
for a village hall. She was the first
woman in her town to cast a ballot.
The men in line when she reached
the voting place stood aside for her.
Fifty-seven women voted on the
village hall question 34 for it and 23
against. Men cast 93 votes for the
project and 63 against it. Other
towns where women voted were
