Sewer Contractors Expect to Finish
Their Work Next Week.
Saline's sanitary sewer system,
which was to have been finished not
later than the first of December, but
which has been considerably delayed
on account of a cantankerous digging
machine and .a lack of flrerr, bids fair
to have the finishing touches concluded next week.
While the work has dragged, and
the.streets in consequence kept in bad
shape longer than was expected, the
whole system will be one of the best
in the state, and this fact should compensate in' a measure for all the delay.
Messrs. VanDerWiele have labored
under many difficulties, but have been
fortunate in that the weather has permitted continuous work..
The troublesome digging machine
has been marching ajlohg'like a thing
of life the past ten days and barring'
accidents a week front Saturday the
contractors will be able to pull uo.
stakes and quit.    .
Women of the farm.
Mr. Toastmaster and Members of the
Club:
Why toast tbe women of -the farm?
Anywhere we would know the nature-
roughed woman, in not the latest
style hat, ano^ the dress with enough
cloth in the skirt to reich around her,
so that it doesn't have to be slit up
both sides to enable her to walk, to be
the woman of the farm. At least she
doesn't belong to this class—"John,,
what are you doing?" "Oh, I am
just trying to put this umbrella case
on." "Why, John, don't you know
that's my new silk skirt."
It has-been said of the women of the
faugyfip her days are full of toil, her
MsE^M&ly, her outlook limited to a
||||iJi_circle of women as tired as her-
^flpl:^ Although her work may be mo-
ijotfmous some time, for as a rule the
w;*pman of the farm does her own
house work including everything that
goes to make a home comfortable,
cares for her children, makes at least
a part of their clothing, often caring
for the garden and sometimes helping
in the other out-of-door work, BJnrely
if variety is the spice of life, hers is
pretty well flavored. ;>-4
The present movement for the woman of the farm is toward a higher
plane. It is a demand for happiness
and the fruits of progress in the house
as well as out of it. In fact she is
now demanding and receiving better
things in the order of their nearness
to her daily life, things in her house
for her housekeeping and for her
children's home life, then outside of
the house for the better and community life of her family and her neighbors. She has revolted in being a
mere cog in the farm grinder and she
has begun to count.
Mr. Wilson of the Agricultural department has begun to realize the
length and breadth and depth of the
woman of the farm's mind and experiences as he *and his secretaries
think out their communications to the
"Country Woman.".
Being counted even at the fulcrum
at the great legislative lever is gratifying. Every one takes a delight in
being counted. The counting is easy
if we are not handicapped. Some
men make miscounts.
A man passing a saloon was suddenly startled by a figure flying out of the
door and landing in a heap on the
sidewalk. "You have been thrown
out," observed the passerby. "Yes,"
said the victim, "but you. just wait.
There are four of them in there. I am
going in right now and throw them
out one by one; stand by and count."
The man reentered the saloon and at
once there was a commotion inside,
and again a man came flying out,
lighting not too gently on the sidewalk. "One," cried the counter.
"Never mind counting " said the
voice froln the sidewalk, "it's me
again."
But the women of the farm are not
counted that way, for. they constitute
our largest class of economically useful women, and the most essential or
ideal of every woman should be to
.train her girls and boys to be "Godfearing, temperate and pure men and
women. .Then ber life is well spent.—

The indoor base ball series was resumed Monday evening, the Houndg,
and- Would Be Stars playing a game
that was in doubt up to the final gong,
the score resulting 8 to 6 in favor of
the former. This puts the Hounds in
first place]! once more, Champions
and Would Be Stars tied, and All

The next game will be played on
Monday evening, All Stars vs. Would

/./The high school basket ball team
journeyed to Wayne Friday night and
played the* Omega club, a Sunday
school class organization of the M. E.
church. This is an evenly organized
team and as a result the game partook
very much of football tactics. They
are a much older class of boys but the
high school team were able to hold
their own. The final score was 26 to
23 in favor of Wayne. The local boys
were handicapped by the absence of
Wurster.
