What Hare You Done to 'Keep 'Em Down oa the Farm' The shorter hours' fad has not struck women on the farm. They are working at least thirteen hours a day. The Nebraska College of Agricul ture has made a survey of 850 Ne braska farm homes and found the 'situation this: Only 30 per cent of the farm homes have running water. Sixty-five per cent of the women carry water on an average of flfty flve feet. Only 17 per cent of farm homes are lighted by electricity or gas. Ninety-nine per cent of farm wom en are doing tne family washing and ironing. Twenty-eight per cent of these are still washing with a board and tub, and only 20 per cent have gas or elec tric irons. Less than 3 per cent of farm women work in the fields. Twenty-three per cent help care for live stock and 42 per cent nelp with the milking. Women produce 95 per cent of the poultry products. Ninety-eight per cent of farm wom en bake their own bread. Ninety-seven per cent do the fam ily washing. Fifteen per cent of farm homes have bath tubs. Seventy-seven per cent have kero sene stoves. Rev. and Mrs. Clifford on Way Home Rev. and Mrs. C. L. Clifford, who have spent the summer at their sum mer home at Mirror Lake, near Spar ta, Wis., are on their way back to Minot by auto. The Independent re ceived the following card from them Monday: "Dear Friends: Our Summer Home, Pine Cliff Retreat, is at the center of Wisconsin's unsurpassed scenery. God finshed some of his 'handiwork" in this region. He neighbors with folks here still. Rare opportunities for rest and recuperation have been ours. We have thought of you all and trust that the weeks have brought to you many enriching experiences. Our hearts are hungry to see you. In a few days we start by auto on our thousand mile return trip back to Minot. We would be very clad to meet von at the services of Vincent church Sunday, August 29. "Very sincerely, "The CLIFFORDS." Harry Hardy Sustains Fire Loss Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hardy, prom inent farmers residing a couple of miles west of Ross, sustained quite a loss by fire last Monday morning. During Sunday night and Monday morning a severe electrical storm passed over this part of the state. Towards the early morning, the Hardy family discovered that "there was fire in their granary and auto shed. How ever the fire was discovered so late that it was impossible to save any thing, and their Ford auto, several sets of harness and about 200 chickens were all destroyed by the fire. It is thought that a bolt of lightning must have struck the buildings and started the fire. Predicts Advance in North Dakota Land Mr. and Mrs. Paul Evans and daughter, Miss Ruth Evans, of Mar shall, Mo., arrived Saturday for a visit at the home of Mr. Evans' sis ter, Mrs. G. D. Colcord, and with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Evans of Torning township. Mr. Evans owns a half section of land in Torning township which he is considering sell ing. iHe recently bought a farm near Marshall, Mo., for $400.00 per acre, a very high price as compared with North Dakota values, but he be lieves that land here cannot help but advance rapidly with two or three av erage crops. Do You Want a Public Office? Here is a chance for two Ward county men to get offices. There are four justices of the peace to be elect ed in 'November. C. B. Davis of Mi not and Evan Griffith of Kenmare are the only candidates nominated in the primaries. Two more are to be elect ed and this will have to be done with stickers or by writing in the names. If you want a job that doesn't pay extra well, but one which will keei you fairly miserable, get busy witli your stickers. Cars Collided Guy F. Humphreys met with an auto accident out on the Burlington road Friday evening, due to careless ness on the part of a driver of a Wash ington car. The two cars met and Humphreys was crowded to the edge of a ditch, unable to get out of the road an inch farther. The oncoming car struck hi» rear hub, damaging the Humphreys machine to the extent of about $15, and nearly forcing the car into the ditch. The Washington car lost a fender and got very much the worst of the deal. No one was in jured. Wm. Ehr's Oats Averaged 70 Bushels Wm. Ehr threshed 42 acres of oats at his farm west of the city, that averaged 70 bushels per acre and weighed 38 pounds to the bushel measure. He also threshed some wheat last week which averaged from ten bushels to the acre on one field to twenty bushels on another. The wheat while yielding fair, is not con sidered extra good for seed, as it is somewhat shriveled, due no doubt to the hot weather. Worth Knowing Lemon juice improves a white fish salad. Keep on hand a small brush for washing vegetables. Lemon juice will improve the flavor of stewed figs. Egg and milk dishes should be bak ed in a slow oven. It is quite true that monotony will kill a healthy appetite. After a heavy dinner serve a fruit dessert or an ice. Dunn Visits Mother in Michigan E. A. Dunn is visiting his aged mother at Gobleville, 'Mich., who is 83 years of age. Mr. Dunn, who operated a dairy south of Minot for five years, sold most of his cows re cently at a sale, the average price received being $87. One Guernsey cow brot $147 and another $145. He sold all but sixteen cows which he will dispose of later. Geo. A. State was the auctioneer. New York Always at the Fore New York is the foremost city in more than population. Minot men re turning from the metropolis say that whiskey is served openly in the large restaurants for 75 cents a glass, which formerly brot 15 cents over the bar. Whiskey is delivered at your door at $60 a case of twelve quarts and it is suspected that revenue officers have their fingers in the pie.
