~r~ KjBWS-FECTJIBB |, Rural Women Have Lesson for Town Sisters By ELEANOR HINMAN. Signs of Hie times which may well give pause to the city woman were to be found at the home economics convention which closed Thursday night in Lincoln. Time was when club work, community service, games and dramatics were a prerogative reserved for the woman of the cities. But here stood a group of women from farms and small towns, who are leaders In study groups, home dramatics and all kinds of community enterprise. No mean community is theirs, for their interests do not confine themselves within the city limits of any one village. Where the world of the farmer's wife a generation ago stopped short with the farmyard enclosure, her modern successor thinks In terms of a county at the smallest, and has considerable attention for the problems of the world outside. Significant indeed is the report of Mrs. Harvey Kssam of Gage county that the club women of Beatrice, learning of the Interesting work bring •lone by their country sisters in their extension clubs and home economics association, sent a hurry call to their rural sisters for instruction. The Impression made by the 250 delegates at Lincoln was that of a group of women from whom not only the town woman hut the haughtiest metropolitan might he willing to learn. As a whole, they knew how to stand up before an audience and speak their minds in an audible and inter esting fashion. They knew how to do their hair and how to dress, and the attractiveness of their appearance was not diminished when the informa tion leaked out that many of them are their own hairdressers, fashion de signers and dressmakers. And they came with serious ideals and a recoit) of accomplishment. An observer could scarcely go away without the feeling that here is at least the germ of an agricultural civilization such as the speakers at the convention pictured as the goal of the present agricultural movement. Reports of extension work in community study, dressmaking, hot school lunches, and so forth were made by delegates from 34 rountles. Delegates reporting were as follows; Mrs. Luther Burt, Buffalo county; Mrs. Ray Norris, Cass; Mrs. Mabel Lane Johnson, Clay; Mrs. \V. r. Mein tali.

Lillian gave an extia curl of the whiplash to her last words, and I. standing near her and listening tense ly to her telephone conversation, was not surprised after an instant’s in terval to see her Ups relax into a satisfied smile. It told me that Dicky had capitulated, and would carry out his mother’s wishes. “’AH light’ is right.1 “ she said, and I could imagine Dicky’s impa tient reiteration of the phrase, when he finally felt compelled to yield his objections to having the will drawn up which his mother wished Wil liam Harrison to have an opportuni ty to sign before he died. ‘‘Please keep us advised of condi tions as often as you can. on your mother's account." she went on, and then with a quick glance at me, she added, "Yes. Madge is right here." She handed me the receiver and I took it with a reluctance and a feeling of pique that I would not have had her guess for many dollars. She had succeeded in conquering his mother's temperamental objections to hla mother's plan where I had failed, and although I was heartily glad of her success, because I could see the necessity and the wisdom of ths SAY “BAYER” when you buy-^yttubne.

Whether Dicky realized this or not, I do not know, hut there was balm for me in the explosive Irrita tion, of his greeting when I had spo ken tho simple words, "Is there any thing you want me to do?” "Yes, there is. Take I,II out and boil her in oil. You've got a crust, sieking her on to me about that will thing, when you know she's got 10 hull pups tied to the mast for stub bornness and persistence. I suppose you felt you didn’t have the strength to wear me down yourself, although you knew it was only a matter of time, so you turned the job over to her. Oh, I'm going to go through with It, now that. I've promlsed I'nt no weigher—hut you two know It alls will find out before you get through that tills Is about the cmzi rst tiling you've ever tried to put over. "Advise the precious child to roll his hoop.” Gillian whispered, and l translated the phrase in as concilia tory fashion as I could manage. "Perhaps you're right." 1 said meekly, with a moue at Gillian, "but nothing matters now, only assuring mother that you arc going to do what she wishes. 1 must go up to her now, for she is anxiously wait ing to hear what you said.” "Well, tell her I'm the goat as usual. How is she standing it all, anyway?” The swift transition from anger to anxiety was characteristic of my volatile husband, but in some curi ous. inconsistently feminine fashion, I felt my own resentment against him gone, and I answered his query gently. "Wonderfully, so far, hut I am afraid she is using every ounce of will power and strength she has in the effort. I think you ought to get the children here as soon as possible. If you think it best, I could come in to New York and meet you with them and bring them out here, and you could return there for—tor anything that was neces ary.” "That might he a good idea,” Dicky returned, suddenly tractable. "Goodby: take care of yourself,” and the receiver clicked its signal of dis missal. "I’ll go straight upstairs and tell mother everything is going as she planned.” I said, turning toward the staircase. “With no mention of the difficul ties incurred,” she warned with a smile. i "Indeed no,” I returned, hut when I reached my mother-in-law’s room, where Mrs. Tieer sat, ready to an swer her slightest summons, she looked up at me with the wan. set I III-' Millie v. nmli she seemed rieiei - mined to kn-p upon her fare ss a ■yinhil of her determination to keep down her weakness and grief as long as she was needed. “Riehard bulked like a Texas steer, didn't he?” she asked, then, to my great relief, saved tne from answer ing by going on.
