Thai the farmer's wife is he most

agricultural interests or the country
today is the contention of Presi
lent Charles S. Barrett, in a statement
which he has just issued from
his home at Union City, (5a., and addressed
to the officers and members
of the Farmers' Union.
Says Mr. Barrett: "Now about that
wife of yours. 1 wonder if you "v?v
think what an indispensable inilu
once she has been for your own welfare
in this world, and for the Ken
erul advancement of the country?
"1 doubt it. A good wife we art
too apt to take like we do the sur.
| shine and the fertility of the fields ?
as a matter of course. Onl) when
all three are missing do we discover
j'he genuine blessing,
i "The wife of the farmer it is \vtu?

luatlun. who rears tip the men and
he women into whose hands the d*n>I
.Inles of the uatior. are to be handed.
"I sometimes think that It is ouly
within recent years we have come
to appreciate the monumental and
nistoric sacrifices of these farm women.
11? >ou will Indulge a slight
personality I cheerfully bear witn?'..to
the fact thai whatever I have ac
oomplished lor the good of the brem
ren in this world, is due to :he tin
selfishness, tlie industry and th<
courage of the woman who is ni>
wife and the mother of my children.
"I know that If ever my sons
shall work well in the battle for lh"
common good, and live as i would
have them live an example to nil
men -it is because of the untlriu*
watch fullness and the almost incrcl
ible self-sacrifice of their mother.
"I talk thus, that you may look
about you in your ow n home, and sci
what you can do to lighten the task
of your own wife, the mother u,
your children.
"If all goes well with the farm,
lind out how much is due to her persistent
toil and forgctfuineso of her
own comfort. If your children g--t
ahead in life consider her part in
their success. If you have e\perior.
cod the common P>t of passing
through poverty and sickness at.u
misfortune consider how hopeless
would have bm-n the outlook had it
not been for her sustaining courage
and energy.
"They call the farmer 'he hope
and the support of America. It is his
wife that is the inspiration of the
hope and the bedrock of the support1.
Hear these facts in mind, when you
are inclined to be a little mean, a
little stingy with the pocket money,
or a little vainglorious about your

"Not all of Carnegie's medals coined
between now and doomsday will
