Social Life of New Zealand Farms New Zealand Letter fo the Christian Science Monitor. A striking illustration of the w; in which the use of machinery 1 ens drudgery and gives more time for the amenities of life is provided by the extensive use of the milking machine in New Zealand. Dairying is now the most valuable industry in the country after sheep | raising, and bids fair to leave that| behind. To make a fair income the dairy farmer must keep a consider- able herd. and the milking of these cows night and morning, if it is done by hand. is a long und arduous task. Hired labor is a difficulty, and in many cases the farmer has de- pended on the help of his children. The problem of the “child slaves” of dairy farms hus been made familiar Zealanders by the reports of inspectors of schools. who huve found children, tired out milking before they come to school, incapable of doing their lessons. The develop- ment of the milking machine pointed # way out of this drudgery The tion of one the power authe in charge for c for milking plants has led the New Zealund Herald to make an interesting comparison b | tween the old conditions and the new. | No invention, it says, ever had a | warmer welcome, | Milking, which had hitherto been a rural ctric reducing the KING INVENTS OWN SET OF SECRET LANGUAGES From the Detroit News. A few years ago Njoya, King of Foumban, in_the Cameroons, became jealous of the particularly good set of secret languages of neighboring tribes and invented from French, English and German words a code tongue of his own which is reserved for the exclusive use of the ‘“cab- Inet” and upper administrative off - cials. The interesting feature of this state language, which was discovered and studied by a Frenchman, Lieut. Clapot, is that instead of meaning their usual equivalent the European words have entirely different code significations. .4 mission,” for in- stance, means “Ordnung’” “we, " Vi means an means “a hill" *"and “England" S STOVE TOP A smooth Top (with lids) made portable, fo At any gag A Bat durface easily cleaned \ith damp cloth " Meals can’ be kept Lot for hours without drying or burning.

You will surcly wish to read this week’s issueof THE LITERARY DIGEST, on the newsstands today. The leading article presents the record of the President and his party in the present Con- gress. The strange sight of a party leader whose party majority in Congress has done so many things he didn't want done, and refused to do most things he wanted done, is rendered stranger by the fact thta_the success of the Republican party in the fall elections hinges upon its support of this same chief. ~This article shows the subject from all angles. including also the opinions of Demo- cratic newspaper editors. Public opinion East, West, North, and South is represented. While the Raleigh News and Observer declares that “the propaganda to make Coolidge better than his party is well greased and well oiled,” the Philadelphia Public Ledger believes that “the country has discov- ered that Coolidge's stock is not in the show-windows, but that it is sufficient to meet all demands on it.” - But this is not the only news-feature in THE DIGEST this week that will challenge your at- tention.
