The home Is the greatest contribu
tion of women to the world, ard the
hearthstone Is her throne. Our so
cial structure Is built around her, and
eoclal righteousness Is In her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu
lative products
of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood Is jeweled with
the wisdom of saintly mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
o f our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Am eri
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
Influences o f politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her Ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood o f the farm
Is our inspiration, she Is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and a guide
to a higher life, but directing the af
fairs of government Is not within wo
man's sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.
RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS
W e need social centers where our
young people can be entertatwd,

aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at

and brighten their lives.
T o hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business of
farming more remunerative.
The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around It and become supplied with
the necessar) elements of human
thought and activity.
Education is a developing of the

The account relates some minor
fights and then makes the following
references to the situation o f the
enemy:
“ The Germans are reported to be col

contains copper, from church belle to
household utensils o f all kinds, baa

The following reference ie made to
artillery:

perhaps, waa so underestimated as tbe
