FARM WOMEN \RE HEADERS,
NEED MRR ARIES. Sl’RVKY
SHOWS
The co1,miry weekly reaches,
ami is read in more farm homes
tlian any other newspaper. A .sur-
vey of conditions in the farm
homes just concluded h\ < Mrs.
Mary (’. I’uneke. of the Sears-
Roebuek Agricultural Foundation
shovx that <»7 percent at the tann-
ers in the eastern, southern and
midtile western states take their
joeal weekly paper; 54 percent
take the daily city paper, sixty
ei/ht perten* uhs.vd.o tp a tarm
paper and 55 percent have a wom-
an's magazine coming regularly
each month. itccordiiiK to Mrs.
l’nncke.
Through some eight hundred
capable, representative farm wom-
en Mrs. I'uncke has been able to
reach into almost 11.000 homes,
to learn what the opportunities lor
readilie. education and recreation
are for the average farm wjfe.
“There is a decided need tor
i rax elilie •libraries,” says Mrs.
I’uncke. Less than half ol these
women have public libraries near
them and onl> about ‘Jo percent
of them are making any lise of
the facilities vvh-jeh their nearest
towns offer. The distance, the fact
that the library is open only u
few hours a day. of a few days a
week, and the uncertainty of get-
ting to town to return books are
among the reasons given why farm
wives do not take out books from
the public libraries.
The farmer's wifi' xvill he able
tt> solve many.of her problems and
enrich her life ‘.hen she learns
the xalue of organization, accord-
ing to Mrs. i’uncke. Svracely BO
percent of the women living on
farms have joined community bet-
terment clubs. Less than JO per-
cent belong to xvomen's clubs, edu-
cational or social.
At best the farm women's life
is a full one, and there seems to
be little room for recreation. \\ ith-
i'ii the home radio, reading, fancy
work and visitin')!- with one’ neigh-
bors over the telephone are the
most popular diversions."although
.”.28 out of these 11,000 xx omen re-
mark tersely that their only re-
creation is xvork, and SS say that
their’s is gossip. The school and
the church entertainment, the
Grange and Farm Uure.au dubs
and the many social gatherings
among neighbors seem , to be
bright spots in these busy lives,.
The automobile has been the
greatest source of entertainment
and pleasure for these farm fami-
lies for it has meant more fre-
quent trips to town, movies, band
concerts, closer social intercourse
with neighbors and a wider ac-
quaintance with the country about
their homes. More than 15 percent
speak of the automobile as their
•best and most satisfying recrea-
tion. On the other, hand, BUS of
these homes say simply that they
have no recreation.
“They are probably not making
the most of what their community
offers" concludes Mrs. I’uncke.
“More women's dubs will teach
them to use the resources that are
at hand.”

ON HOW TO LEAVE AN ESTATE
"Do you kvnw. Aunty." »ii<t Ilolen,
as alip arc, 'iieil a cup ot tea from 1
Aunt Knimy, 1 1 feel terribly sorry for .
.Mm Sir* im, ’’
“Ye ," agr. i d Aunt Emmy, "it w 111
be bard for her. She Is such h il. |
peadent, helpless, little thing."
"Oh. I don't mean that," interrupt-
ed Helen. “Her feeling# are so hurt
because, as she says, her hnslnrd
publicly insulted her by not making
her executrix and trustee of his es-
tate."
“Good gracious, child, did she say
that!" exclaimed Aunt Kmiuy, setting
her cup down with a bang.
"Yes, sho did, Aunty,” said Helen,
enjoying the sensation she bad made
and determined to make the most of
it, "and I’m suro 1 agree with her.
The Idea of that old man appointing
a trust company to look after Mr.
Strong's money,® It Isn’t as though
there wasn’t plenty of it- The Strongs
are the richest people in town, J
guess."
“Well, for mercy’s salies!" cried
Aunt Kinmy, disgust i:i every syllable,
“if it don’t beat all! You art? as b'g
a fool as she Is then!"
“What do you mean, Aunt Kinmy?"
asked Helen with dignity. “I think
it nothing short of disgraceful for a
man to. show that he lias no confi-
dence in lib} wife by putting Ills mom y
in strangers’ hands to be doled out to
her as they see lit." ,
“You never thought that up, Helen,”
said Aunt Ennhy, “that's Mrs. Giron :
She always talks as though she wa?
living in a story 1. n>k, poor, silly, little
thing."
Helen blushed anil Aunt Emmy went
on—"Do you know what it means to
administer an estate, especially a big
one like Mr. Strong’s?"
“Why, no,” stammered Helen, “but
It must be simple."
Aunt Emmy <*niffcd. "Simple! Let
me tell you a little about It. When a
man dies the things lie owns cease for
a time to be anybody's prop? rty and
become his estate. The property passes
from his control on his death natu-
rally, and as his estate it is controlled
and supervised by the Court which
xvill be in charge of tin,' estate for
many months probably. First this
Court finds out whether or not there
is a will and if the will Ls valid. Tlveri
it must Pnd out about the executor
If the xvill is properly drawn and valid.
It will be •admitted to probate.’ Tiie
persons wife* witnessed it must be.
found and examined.
"The executor must satisfy tin
Court as to lltm ss and willlngm?
to perforin the many arduous duties
involved. Perhaps he will have te
furnish a bond, to assure the Court of
his linancial responsibility. Jfe inn a
assemble all the so-called assets, have
them valued and liD* ; n iimntory am
appraisal of them with the Gouiu. A.1
the debts against the estate must F-
collected. The settlement of .til
claims against p. 1 -ms a ad corpora-
tions is a job no one without a thor-
ough knowledge q£ business can uu
dertaVe.
"In an estate like Mr. Strong's tlnT 1
is sure to be a certain amount of
linancial negotiation that "demand.:*
banking knowledge. Th n the e.
editor must pay. claims against th.
estate In the order of precedence laid
down by laxv. Also you know stag
Inheritance ami federal estate ta\< .-
must be met promptly. Finally, aft 1
the estate is settled as to claim if
has anil claims, agivfcnst it, the execu-
tor must see that the various be
quests are made."
"Oh, Aunty, don't ‘ ’’ me any more.
i never (bought t.’iat there xv re
many complicated tilings to be d.-ie
Poor Mrs. Strong nexh r knew a tbit:,
about business,”
"Mr. Strong knew that,’’ remarked
Aunt. Emmy dryly, “and don’t you siip
pose lie had bis children in mind, too-:
He wanted bis etf.ale handled so th .’
the children and Mrs. Strong- would
be protected and injured of a good,
comfortable living alWheir lives, xvkh
something to go on to the granite!. !•
ilreii. liven if Mrs. Strong wer. L
business woman, no one could t. 1!
boxv long she would live to.admit.i •. r
the estate. He knew that ?!i-• ;r- *
eompany would not cli**. nor F. its
faculties, nor be influenccil by personal-
feeling so that it might be mrju-d to
sotne one, and that it ret>n sent ; souti
of the last business and b.inkn.-
Judgment in town.”
“Well, I gttes-s old man Strong knoxv
what he was doing!" said Helen.—
