SD 3 Improved 25% The latest Miller triumph is a super-gradé tread. It excels the best rival treads today by an average of 25 per cent. This has been proved, under careful watch, by many road comparisons. The Miller Tire mileage is the talk of the day. But these new-grade treads outwear the balance of the tire. Not one Miller Tire, built with this new tread, has ever come back with the tread gone. These treads do not vary. Every day the Miller tread stock is vulcanized and tested in the laboratory. It must prove up to these new stand- ards before a tread is made. Miller Cord Tires, in the factory tests, now aver- age 15,000 miles. Miller Fabrics from 8,000 to 9,000 miles. And these factory tests are extreme. Watch your mileage on one Millet Tire. Compare it with any other and it will win you. You owe that to yourself in view of Miller records.

S. department of agriculture, gathered the data} from conditions found in 10,015 | farm homes, Miss Florence Ward in charge of extension work for women, sums up her findings in| the following language. : The survey discloses a number | of the reasons why many wom- en do not find farm life attract- ive. The working day of the average farm woman, as shown | by the survey, is 11.3 hours. | And 87 of each 100 women have | no regular vacation during the| year. On the average the farm | woman can find only 1.6 haurs of leisure during the summer and only 2.4 hours in winter. | Half of the farm women are up and at work at 5 o'clock in the morning. | Four per cent have water in} the kitchen but the other per! cent must go to the spri-~ or; the pump to bring the water for | cooking breakfast. Thirty-six per cent help with milking. On} the average, the farm woman} {has a 7 room house to keep in order. Seventy-nine per cent) have kerosene lamps to trim and | fill, Ninty-six per cent do the} family washing, about half of | them having washing machines | and the other half doing the work with tub, wash board and | boiler. Twenty-six per - cent} have gas or electric irons to} | make more comfortable the task | of ironing. Ninty-two per cent} | do some or all the family sewing, | | garden work is done by 56 per cent, 94 per cent make all or} part of the family bread and 60 per cent having churning to do. | Bighty-one per cent of poultry flocks are cared for by women One-fourth of the farm wom- en help to feed and bed the live stock, and 24 per cent of them} | spend over six weeks in the year | j assisting with some part of the} | field work. All of this is in ad-} | dition to cooking the family |meals and caring for the chil- | dren. This, of course, is the dark side of the shield. It does not take into consideration the many compensations that come with |the women’s daily round of work for the comfort of her fam- ily, and anyone who has exper- ienced the satisfaction of living in the open country knows that | the average farm woman is more | fortunately placed than the av- | erage city sister. But the task \is sufficiently grinding, as Miss | Ward says, to send the farm | woman to bed “breathing a pray- ‘er that her strength may be | equal to tomorrow’s duties.” Wheat gambling is today one of the greatest evils of our in- dustrial system. It can be stop- ped. That was shown when the government stopped it for three years. If Harding or Cox would| come out in an open manner and pledge the closing of every wheat gambling pit in the United States should he be elected, he would get the votes of the farm- jers. That would be of far! greater importance to the farm- ers and the agricultural inter- ests of our country than the league of nations, prohibition.| woman suffrage or any other is- | sue. Will either of the candi-| dates make such a pledge, or are both too much in fear of or tied too closely with the great finan- cial interests that control the; grain markets ?—Moscow Mirror Now if prices would only fol- low the weather in this droppine matter more people would be happy around here.—Wallace | Times. The above statement may be true in Wallace but we can’t say that wheat dropping in price makes many happy around this neck of the woods.

Cooperative Farmer-Borrowers of the | 4 United States as a national body, in cluding members of the 4000 farm loan associations already organized under the federal farm loan act, has been started. The national board of farm organizations made this an nouncement. The plan arose out of paralyzation of the federal act as a result of the suit now pending in the supreme court to tcst its constitu- tionality, it was said. Local farm loan associations will be formed into “state unions” and state conventions will be held as soon as 10 state unions have been formed. +S Hussman Lumber Co. “HOME BUILDERS” esestostectontoatostoatontente sdontectontotoateatoatessoeteatoete Secetectectente te z : Loedeeteiostontoste ste ctostostontoets A CQSY CORNER Is what we are all looking for this coming winter.
