T-M THE BEE: - OMAHA. SUNDAY, OCTOBER SO, 1921. Fann Federation , Pushing Drive for Rate Reduction Petition Filed With Interstate Commerce Commission Asking 10 to 20 Per Cent Cut On October 18, the American Farm Duma federation filed a pt- tition before the Interttatc .Com merce' Commission asking for an immediate reduction of from 10 to 2l per cent in freight rates on basic nccest'ties of life. Thit , petition marks the opening gun in the Farm jiurcau trauportatton policy. I he I' arm Bureau s petition crystallize into concrete action the rolicy outlined by President J. R. nowara aim aavocaica oy nuu in conferences with both sides. It now develops .that the conferences of the railway' executives' in Chicago beginning- on October 14 were called an the direct result of f resident lioward'a insistence before various executive- of the carriers that rail road rates must be reduced at once and that all subsequent savings hi operating costs should be at once parsed on to the shipper m still tur ther reductions. A history of the negotiations In which the Farm Bureau has been engaged' for weeks reveals that fol lowing' the hearings for reductions iir livestock and grain rates before the interstate commerce commission, President J. R. Howard held a number of interviews with leading railroad' executives setting forth the farmers' economic condition, his re lationship to transportation and the necessity of lower freight rates if agricultural '' production is to be maintained. 'In these interviews the fawners' objection to the Cummins Eseh bill, particularly the guaranty clause,, , the removal of authority from the state commissions in intra state matters and the need of amend ing the labor board clause were stressed. . On September 21, a conference wj ) held, in New York City, which w. attended by groups representing railroads, manufacturing and ship ping and agriculture to discuss the entire rate situation." The agricul tural group comprised representa tives from the Grange and the Farm bureau. The railroads were repre sented by three of their outstanding executives. After a long discussion in which the railroad . executives strenuously contended that under present conditions - any rate reductions would mean bank ruptcy, a committee consisting of .' three railroad executives, a ' representative of the ' Na tional Manufacturers' association, a representative of a leading agricul tural implement firm, and the presi dent of the American; Farm Bureau federation was appointed to deter mine whether or not it was possible to; proceed further. , .Irj this committee Mr. Howard took the position that the railroads could not continue any longer to en joy special favors, but they must stand up on their owiv resources and responsibility; that the present high rates are stifling all business; that recent reports indicate the railroads to .be more prosperous than any other class of business in the nation; that railroad labor has recently tak en a 12 per cent reduction and that the costs of steel and coal will in the future probably be decreased. In his position President Howard was! strongly backed by the manu facturers present. The railroad executives finally agreed to submit the Farm Bureau proposals to the executive committee of railroad executives at Chicago on October 9 with the recomendation that it be approved. At the request ot the rail" roads, no intimation of the pro posals made in .the small group was to, be given to the larger group or to the public, and the meeting ad journed after receiving a report from the small group that progress was being made and that a future meet ing?; of the larger group was to be held the following month. ' The following day President How ard received communication from one of the railroad executives stat ing -that the problem was so impor tant that he desired to call a meet ing of all railroad executives of .the United States' to consider it, which meeting was to be held in Chicago on Octdbef Rn The proposals made in New York City, were presented .'to the execuT tive committee of the railroad execu tives on October v and approved by them a 10 per cent reduction to become effective immediately. At the meeting on October 14 of all the executives, however, the immediate rduction was . not approved, but a resolution was passed which stated that all decreases in operating costs from whatever source, were to be given at once to the public in the form of a rate reduction.

News of Special Interest to Nebraska and Iowa Farmers Plain Speaking on Life on the Farm By A NEBRASKA WOMAN. "It is woman's duty to help her husband." I have heard that remark until I have rebelled at the strain involved in keeping back the counter question. "What is a man' duty to his wife)" There are tome who re gard marriage as a rite of the church, a covenant not to be broken during life. Others are content with a civil ceremony, and feel that such a eerv Ice is as valid and binding as if per formed in the presence ot a bishop. But there is no civilised person who docs not regard marriage as a con tract, whether civil or religious, an agreement made in the presence of witnesses, and if broken, to be broken only for good, just and suf ficient cause. Each party to the contract has ob ligated himself and herself to cer tain observances, has set hand to it, and in the eyes of the law has a different standing from what he or she had previous to the signing of the contract The woman has open ly, in the eyes of the . world, sworn to accept the man as her husband and to love, honor and obey him. The man, alto in the face of the whole world, has undertaken to love and to cherish the woman at his side, It is a promise made one to the other, and the woman crosses his threshold secure in the knowledge that she has a champion, a defender, a strong support. But when she finds that her strong support expects her to do her share toward supporting the home, she realizes that it is a partnership based upon an unequal distribution of gains, while the burden laid upon her shoulders is often more than she can bear. Earnings Seldom Received. Without fear of contradiction. I assert that the average country woman contributes to the cost of the home a full third to a half, by her efforts in the garden, in the house and in the poultry yard, by her economics and her contrivances, for which she receives nothing but her board and her necessary clothes. The man who vowed to' love and to cherish has construed that to mean to love (with his hand on his bank book) and to cherish (while work ing her to the limit of her strength). . Not long ago, a prominent news paper owner and editor made this remark to me: "The average Ne braska farmer regards his wife' as a happy combination of draft horse and brood mare." While it seems a harsh thing to say, in a quick esti mate, yet careful analysis proves that there is a foundation for such a statement, coming as it did from a man who knows the west from the panhandle of Texas to the old feeding grounds of southern Iowa.

His judgment agrees wun mine, that woman, the woman on the farm, is regarded more as a bit of mechanism than as a human lac tor. A Man's World. She is valuable for domestic pur noses, as a bit of cheap, unpaid, un hired helo. as a mother of children who shall grow into usefulness as they grow in stature, but the man is the one to be considered. He does the work, he puts up the hay, he plows the fields, he sows the seed and he reaps the harvest, and if he is helped in any of these op erations by the owman, well, 'it Is a woman duty to help her nus' band." And so it goes. She does help, and she Is glad to do it for nothing but a word of thanks when she knows the help is welcome, and there is nothing she would like more than to help in definitely. But she is learning the ways of the man who agreed to cherish her, and one of his ways is that if she proves once that she is caDable of doing field work as well as housework, she is expected to do it whenever he feels the need ot her services. Such a task, when taken as a matter of .course, is a downright imposition and should be resented by every spirited woman n the land. One Woman' Heroic Life. - A near neighbor is about as hard working as a woman can be. In fact, she works harder at farming than many men do, owing to the ill health of her husband. A part of every day; from early spring to late fall, and even into corn-husking time, is spent in the field, on plow, on harrow, on cultivator and with the husking wagon with its tall bump board. She also raises a large flock of poultry each year, both un der hens aod by means of incuba tors, and in addition to all this as sists mornings and nights with the choring, which is a lengthy propo sition on this particular farm, where 90 brood sows' and their pigs are fed and watered and a good-sized herd of milk cows have to be milked and fed and watered. This last spring, when some emergency made me try to get this woman on the telephone. 1 was una ble to do so until a late hour that is, late for country folks, almost 10 o'clock. I thought at first that I had made some mistake in the num ber I had been ringing, but was re assured as to that, and was told that she had been out to the farthermost end of the pasture and back to the barnyard in three trips that 'even ing, helping to bring in some new born pigs whose . mothers had strayed that day from the feed lot, and those trips , had been made in i tuberculin tested previous to releasa from quarantine In the United States. , Spring wheat Is not popular In this section at ths present time, however, we are interested in getting some valuable Information from Mr. Pftser of Nebraska City pertaining to raising of Marquis wheat. He reporta a 20 bushel yield under rather unfavorable weather condi tions and states that after several years' trial considers It a more profitable change crop than oats. "Corn shucker !" If there ain't ' no elck animals, how are you going to get 'em? The county agent Is seriously handi capped in trying to handle the labor situation, Inasmuch as ws ars not located on a main 11ns and most of the men we order from Kansas City drop oft before they reach this point. We are reliably Informed, however, that there Is a scarcity ot such labor In all eastern Nebraska counties. Mr. Kelly of Nebraska City, who is giving valuable help along labor lines, says that he has some 25 or 30 names on the waiting list and no men to supply the demand. Louis Schacht of Cook Is becoming some what concerned over a peculiar situation that exists, in an alfalfa field located on his farm. This particular field in ques tion has been cultivated for eoms to years and this fall while outtlng the last crop of alfalfa, "Louis, mules, mower and all" suddenly took a" notion to drop beneath the surface. Mr. : Schacht hardly felt prepared - for . the 'lower realme, conse quently instituted an Investigation, which disclosed the fact that large holes vary ing in depth from t to 8 feet and aeveral feet in circumference had by some un known means .come' suddenly into being. Oophers were at -first thought te have been the cause ot these subterranean open ings,, but ths slss of such holes makes this - supposition hardly plausible.

Sev eral poultry raisers in the county are keeping accurate records ot their flocks. Quite a number have been keeping the records on blanks furnished by this office and s-adliiR the reports in each month.

The former county agent In co-operation with the agricultural engineering de partment assisted in draining a pond hole on the farm of Peter M. Olson near Itha ca.

Bequests bars the face of a hard rain, over mushy ground, with her 10-year-old son to help her, because Jim, who was not feeling well, had retired. This woman also tends the largest gar den in our vicinity, and with great success, and her produce is always in demand. The proceeds of all her work are devoted to paying the in terest on the mortgage on the home stead, and I have her word for it that she has had one new winter dress and coat in seven years, one new hat in tour years and not a sin gle new cotton dress except bunga low aprons for house wear in six years, and shoes and stockings and the plainest of underwear only when she is absolutely obliged to get them, she says: "I am trying to help Jim all I can. but if I only knew just how much help he really needed, or how much money he has, 1 could plan better. But he never tells me, so I just plug along. If that man were honest with hit wife, as well as with himself, he would make a note of the time spent by his wife in field work, to say nothing of other work she might do outside of her house, and would,, at the end of the season, at harvest time or on holidays, show his appre ciation of her assistance by giving her. for her own private uses and purposes, a sum of money large enough to cover what she would have earned at similar work had she been a man. No Access to the Family Purse. . Samuel Rogers wrote in his ode, lhe Human Lite: His houa she. enters, there to bt a light Whining within, when all without le nlht; A guardian angel, o'sr hla lift preeldlng. Doubling his pleasures, and his earn dividing." This is true only in some cases. . It requires but one day s travel through the farming districts of the states immediately west of the Missouri river to discover that in , doubling his pleasures the woman is halving her own, and that in dividing his cares she is only doing what is ex pected of her, and then does not al ways 'satisfy. She is no guardian angel, except in a very restricted sense, as she is not allowed to be more than he wishes her to be, and the average Nebraska farmer is a very self-sufficient person, hard working, industrious, moral so far as the sex meaning is concerned, but distinctly immoral in his treatment of his womankind. Peonage is not ex tinct in our agricultural regions and is practiced "in the very best fami lies." The farmer who takes unto himself a wife trusts her with his name, his personal honor, the bearing and the rearing ot his children. Hut, except in scattering instances, he does not trust her with his purse. Now and then an item appears in some rural paper telling of the "common purse" which is the custom in some families. In such cases all the returns from farm industries go into one account, probably in the name of the man. but both man and wife can draw against that account So far as that goes, it is an excellent arrangement and to be commended for certain been made concerlng the height of work ing surfaoes, the following wlll.be a guide for this while standing at the sink, table or Ironing board.

How I Was Lives of My Children And Suffering Indescribable Tortures Myself Day and Night. A Mother's Terrible Confession. For some time I had noticed that my two children, a boy of seven and a girl of ten, were becoming highly nervous, irritable and very' dis obedient, I tried various punish ments, even whipping, but they kept growing worse. My own nerves were all "on edge," the least thing pat me into a rage; I was too weak to work or enjoy life, and too nervous and Irritable to go anywhere. I often suffered from severe heart ftslpitation and Indi geetion. I could not sleep at night: I hsd an alpiost constant dull aching pain In the hack of my neck and head, and frequently a very djsagreesblt sense of fullness in the front part of my head. I often had severe pains across my back which mads me- think I hsd kidnsy trouble. I .could not begin to describe all the tortures and terrible peine which I endured. Finally I went to a doctor and told him my story. After studying my case, he told me I was the cause of my children's con dition.
