Women's clubs ;iro still mad© the
target) for a good de.il of
criticism but it is nil wasted in
so for as it is iutendod to prevent
tho growth aad prosperity of such
organizations. It may bring about
c«tlain improvements and correct
small defects but it will never
stop tiie nrogrers of the tvomen's
clubs iu any part of the country.
Their great prosperity proves
th;.t they meet a real need. It is
the test possible evidence that
they are doing work of value to a
ver / largo number of women.
The quality of their membership is
as noteworthy as its Increase in
uumerlcal strength.
Several phases of the changing
position of women in the life of
the modern world are too plain to
be questioned, except In blind in
tolerance. One of them is the
permanent enlargement of the
field la which women earn their
own living. Another is the broad
ening and deepening influence and
usefulness of women's clubs an>!
similar organizations.—Ex.
"HOME-GROWN";"
In tho ordinary, market sense
there Is much significance in
the phrase "home-grown." Every
careful housekeeper knows that
when it is honestly used it means
fresher vegetables and fruit, better
condition and finer quality -with
enough exceptions to put the rule
to the proof.
Bui there is 'another meaning of
the words which is well worth tru
ing Into account at this time of the
year. The best of all ••home
grown" vegetables, for instance,
are those which are grown on the
premises where they are oaten. It
doesn't matjer whether potatoes
are 'transported a ro.isonable
distance or not. Turnips, beets
and carrots, for late fall and winter
use, ore also little affected by such
handling, and the same rule applies
to other roots. But with the finer
and more delicate vegetables the
case is very different.
Xo one who has never eaten
sweet corn, of some good variety,
which has been cooked within an
hour or so from the time it was
growing on the stalks, has any just
conception of what "corn ou the
cob" can mean. N'o one who has
never enjoyed green peas or lima
beans under similar circumstances
is able to judge the possibilities of
those vegetables.
The way to test the full signifi
cance of " 'ome-grown'" is to make
a little garden and try tho home
product at home. It will win con
verts to the backyard excersice.
which is perhaps the best that a
map of sedentary habits can have,
and it will be r source of much
plersure and s.\tisfaction to the
whole family.
| All observers of the course of
! events at Washington, says the
Cleveland deader, agree that "Presi
• leif Wilson and Secretary Hryan
have staked their entire Mexican
nolii'y upon the ability of the Car
ranz.i-VUla revolutionists to give
their distracted and afflicted coun
try .1 stable, sound and progressive
government. It is reasonable to be
lieve, as the heads of the national
administration clearly do, that
Uuer.i will be overthrown. He can
rot withstand the revolts which
| mei .->'e him at home and the pres
i :-uro troni the United States. But
j is it alao reasonable to believe
I that the leaders of the so-called
Constitutionalists will be strong
!:»nd wiso enough to justify the
i hopes of the President and the
SeciK.iry of State?
la that question lies the pith and
I core of the problem of Mexico, for
I the Wilson administration. Can1
j the armies of the insurgents be
| disbanded without swelling the
' hordes of bandits that curse Mex
ico? Can work be provided for the
soltiiors to be turned looso to get
a living? Wliero can money be ob
tained ^0 meet the just claims of
foreigners for damages to their
property and for personal out
rages? Will it be possible to con
viact American and European cap
italists that they can afford to put
more money into Mexican euter
How can ihe men who are ex
pected to rule Mexico after the'
i'.ill ot' lluert;v get revenues suffi
lient to satisfy their own followers |
and run the country without re
I sorting to means so severe anil
;>pi essive. that another revolt will
!• :.iade almost inevitable? Will
! : Cnited States be able to control
iho i'W government expected soon
j to riio on the ruins of lluerta's I
di-s, etism and yet avoid such in
ns would turn Mexican
leehi.j; still more strongly against
• \or* thing American?
'i - President and the Secretary
I of State have staked much upon
! the chanee that these questions |
| may be answered to the satisfac
iion of tilt"" Mexican people and the
oas md important outside ]

When Prices Are High.
To get the best prices for eggs hnve
them to sell in December nutl January.
Chicken* are highest In May and June.
Butter rises and l'ulls with eggs and
that sold in December and January
brings the best prices. Potatoes reach
their highest about Aug. 1 and fall
like a rocket every day after. Of
course, all these things are highest
when we haven't got 'em. but it's the
business of every one of us to try to
have 'em when the price is high, if we
can.—Farm and Fireside.
