It is certainly an'unfair propo sition, \when a man, .who pays no^Baxes on his stock or business can .come around from door to door and get a good trade. It is unfair to the merchants of the town who pay taxes and rent, employ labor, and suppprtpublic activities of all kinds. The nearby farmer who peddlesvegetables and fruits is on a dif ferent basis, as a large part of the money he receives returns to our stores. But the great majority of people -who peddle from door to door are strangers from a distance, who come here merely to carry away money, and spend it-somewhere else. , A strict license system is the best way to deal with.peddlers. If they are to make a profit by dealing with otfr people, they should pay a liberal revenue to help bear the burdens \of the town. But even then it is poor policy to patronize them in place of the local merchants on whose prosperity the town depends. EDUCATING THE FARMER \What is called the \Farm Bureau Movement\ is now spreading all over the country. Agricultural experts, scientifically trained, are engaged to offer advice and make experiments for the farmers of a county or Other area of territory. This work is accomplishing a great deal of good. Tet it is a very big proposition for one or two men to attempt to revolutionize tha^afm methods of any one locality. A practical and progressive farmer in another County, on being asked what he thought of the results accomplished by the bureau in his neighborhood, said it was costing pretty high for what the farmers were getting out of it. Yet he would not be willing to have the work given up. The farmers have had an enormous lot of advice discharged at them for the past ten years. • The agricultaral-collcges^arm tutes, railroad development services, the agricultural papers, the ^United States and state bullet ins, are heaping up pamphlets and addresses. More or less of this advice is conflicting. At any rate the farmer must get confused with its multiplicity. $t is-not an easy thing,-»-even for the trained -expert^to go on a farm that the towner has. worked all his life, perhaps his fSflier before him too, and give a correct opinion offhand as to how the production of that land can be increased. In some cases the unscientific owner would know more than the scientific adviser. Facte and. figures of definite things done on certain land would probably go the furthest in convincing the farmer When an agri. cultural advisera can show in black and white, backed by witnesses, that-John--Smith's' farm yielded 50 per cent more corn because it followed the scientific plan of fertilization, he has an argument at which no crossroads' parliament will sneer That kind of thing is very much more effective than lectures and addresses which the average man hears and forgets. THE PROGRESS O? WOMEN IN BUSINESS A salesman for a concern dealing in lumber products made a statement in conversation the other day that will surprise a good many people. He said in his travels he had come across a considerable number of business firms in the. lumber trade that were employing women as managers or in very responsible positions much above the grade\ of ordinary book-keeping and stenography It was his opinion that-during-the last few years in many lines of business, women have made a phenomenal advance in the filling of places of management calling for executive ability. At first thought most people would say that the lumber trades Were not suited to women. Yet the close habits of observation pos sessed by the female sex are vital to success in dealing with any kind of material product. In the finer lines of wood working, women would Be keen judges of artistic effects, natural ability, and appro priateness of design. Anyone who ever saw a few executive women run a church fair, a public supper, or theatrical entertainment, must be Convinced that they have gifts of management equal or superior to' those possessed by the average man. Tact and insight of human nature are very vital factors in running any kind of business. They would count in the supply of wood materials and in a thousand other lines now or for merly held exclusively by mea. \Women ought to J>e encouraged to enter these new lines of effort. Certain professions, notably teaching and stenography, are so crowded with women that rates of pay .tute .low. If womeli would fit them selves with the technical information heeded for business success, they would improve' their economid position, and relieve the conges tionJn crowded employments.. They would be in a. more independent position as regards'marriage,, and could pick and choose with some sense of resources of their own; THE PASSION EOR JEWELRY fortunate, is an. incitement; to crime, and .often a waste of family resources- . '\ _ « The power of* fashion is great. It seems quite possible that the jewellers will be able to'promote sales by creating new styles each season, discarding older fashions as pbso|e,te, \The jewellers can't be blamed for promoting their sales in this fanner, but the result would be to promote extravagance with many people. ; igmcE Housecle«nin# » specialty.
