One of the hired men of Dr. Mueller's agricultural estate has been for a long time atthe front. His wife, who had worked along-side her husband before the war after the us ual custom, remained in the ranks of the field hands and accordingly re tained her farm cottage. October 1 this woman got the following letter: " 'The undersigned bailiff of the estate hereby gives you notice as of this date to the field service for Janu ary 1, 1918. On that day you are to give up your house. The work which you are doing on the farm does not compensate the farm for the loss which accrues to it through the con tinued support of your family. Look out for yourself away from this farm, your house is needed for other use.' "The woman communicated the notice to her husband with these words: 'I must tell you my distress, Boon shall not be able to see the pa per for my tears. What shall I do? Winter is at the door and the cottage is full of little children.' ' "Thus the bailiff ot the estate of a bloated landlord turns a family with eight children out of doors in wid- wlnter while the man is at the front. Comment takes care ot Itself."
