"WAGES FOR MOTHERS" HUBBARD'S LAST WISH Lusitania Victim Makes Plea for Women of America, Advising Husbands to Provide Against Day When "Misfortune "May Overtake You. BT LIFE INSURANCE EDITOR. CATE has finished the last chapter I in Elbert -Hubbard's essay on "Silence." That is unless he Is able to communicate from the great beyond. Previous to his excursion on the Ill fated Lusitania, however, he contributed an essay on "Wages for Mothers," pub lished in the New Tork American, which is worthy of sincere consideration. In excerpting from the noted writer's essay on this subject we find emphasis on the fact that "The most beautiful word. in our language is home. Also, the home should always be a beautiful place. "The mother is the center of the home. In the primitive home the mother also performed the function of church, school and government. She made laws which governed her children. She was their teacher of manual train ing, of world wisdom, ethics and morals "Among men might was right. But the mother had a finer sense of Justice, awakened through her love for her babe. She defended the weak against the strong1. "The modern human " being wants money in his pocket, money in his hand, money in the bank, money to give him independence, money that he may have exercise for his will and brain. And all people who "labor in the great work for civilization receive money. . "Allr except mothers. "As society is now organized a woman loses her economic independence when she gives her services for 23 or 30 years to the bearing and care of citizens for the state- "If the father of her children is a good earner, if he is generously in clined, if he is unusually wise and sees how important is his wife's business. If misfortune does not overtake him. then his wife may have sufficient means to develop and give to the state 1 REALTY MEN ARE ACTIVE FOUR. IN ATTENDANCE AT NATION AL CONVENTION IN LOS ANGELES.

Il waco has enjoyed a small-sized build ing boom this Winter, there having been no less than nine new business buildings erected, besides several alter ations and additions to existing struc tures. The list will be augmented by several more in the near future, the principal one of which will be a new public school building to cost approxi mately $25,000. This list of new buildings marks a high-water record for Ilwaco. old timers declaring the number of the new buildings erected during the past six months to be more than has been erected for many previous years. The largest of the new structures put up so far Is the two-story auditorium and dancehall erected by the Finnish So cialist Work Temple Association on Lake street. It is a frame structure 40 feet wide by 90 feet long. Other new buildings are: Two garages, a modern moving picture theater, a real estate office, a photograph gallery, two pool halls and a large warehouse and office building for the local mill and lumber company. The work in the building line anil the steady work which the building of the north Jetty has furnished, together with the vast amount of land clearing which the introduction of cranberry culture has caused to be done, has made Il waco a prosperous community and the business interests here are in accord with the National Administration in de claring that the industrial depression Is purely psychological.

"But these ifs make so tremendous a load of conditions that thinking women pause and think carefully be fore they say 'yes. "If we consider the business of the world as a unit, it woultl cost no more to give wages to mothers than It costs us now to maintain the Joo lot' that the state has to care for. "And then we might be able to elim inate the army of unemployable, now ranged on park benches, in bread lines, penitentiaries, hospitals, insane asylums, houses of correction, homes for the imbeciles or blind. "Would not a mother have greater incentive for mental activity? Would not even an average mother carry re sponsibility as did Roman women who were conscious that they were the greatest benefactors of the state? "Would not the home bo a more beautiful place if mothers had the power and stimulus that men have, of wages for their work?" Right here it may be quite apropos to supplement Mr. Hubbard's human ap peal with an answer. No thinking man will deny that it is his duty to supply the mother of his children with suf ficient funds for the necessities of life. Yet those who fall in this duty are many. The selfish men who come home on Saturday nights with their week's wages depleted doubtless would surpass the British army in numbers.
