If Farmer- Had to Pay His Wife He Would Go Broke, Declares Nebraska University Expert, Summarizing Survey. : WOULD COST $4,008 I YEAR Prni Wife la Cook, Washerwoman, Seamstress, Charwomati and, on Occasion, a Nurse--Also She is Assistant Farm Director. Omaha.--If Nebraska termers had to pay their wives "living" wages for their work most of them would have to go out of business, according to figures made public by the home economics department of the Nebraska State university. According to those figures every farm wife earns $4,000 a year. And inasmuch as most of the termers are not making that over and above expenses, the farmers would "go broke" If they had to pay their wives what they would have to pay others for the same service. The farm wife Is a cook, a washerwoman, a seamstress, a charwoman, a nurse, gn_ assistant farm director, and a whole lot of other things. And ahe Is an expert in each of these. The home economics department, in making up its survey, took all these occupations into consideration, in estimating the value of their wives' service, if Outside Help Were Hired. "If a farm woman's time waR considered and she was paid on the basis of the hired help 6he saves her husband from employing, she would receive a salary of $4,000 a year," says Miss Margaret Fedde, chairman of the department which made the survey. First, all the cooking falls upon the housewife. She prepares three meals a day. She has no afternoon "out" Service of that kind is worth at l^ast $10 a week," says Miss Fedde. Next, the farm wife does the washing and Ironing. Very few farmers have washing machines. It takes the farm wife all day long to do the washing. Another full day is required to do the ironing. "The regular wages Of (a jlaundreas In the country are $2.50 per day," says Miss Fedde. "For the washing and ironing, therefore, she should be credited with $5 per week." A rfecent health survey of farms and farmers shows there Is an average of 19 days of sickness each year on each farm. And when there Is sickness the wife-turns to nursing. So, for 18 days eadh year the term wife is a nurse. "The wages of a trained nurse on tlie farm are $25 per week." says Miss Fedde. "On this score the farm wife gets in nearly $75 per year in wages as a nurse." When Mrs. Farmer does the family sewing--and she does all the sewing that is done on the farm--she should be credited with the wages of a seamstress. Credit Mrs. Farmer $8 per week as a sewing lady. More of Her Duties. The wages of a woman to do cleaning, scrubbing, etc., are $2.50 per day. For two days each week the farmer's wife does this kind of work. Her pay check, according to the home economics department's survey should be increased by $5 per week for that. Taking care of the butter and the cream and the eggs requires some hours every day. And during the berry season and the fruit season the wife works long hours over the preserving kettle. This kind of work is worth $3 per day and the credit should go t6 Mrs. Farmer. And In the fall, during, "hog killing time," the farmer's wife acts as expert meat paccer and should be credited with $5 per day for that labor. As a "farm assistant'" the farmer's wife Is called upon every hour of the day to give advice. The rate of pay of farm assistants in Nebraska Is $20 per week. So the farmer's wife shocld be credited with $20 per week on that score. Then there ar^ the thousands and one things which do not come under any of these heads, but which would command big pay if the farmer had to go out and employ some one to do them. All these should be credited to the wife of the farmer. "Total all these charges and It will 'be found that the Nebraska farm wife earns at least $4,000 every year, with her board and roon; thrown in," says the bulletin. Waits |or Hanging Sixteen Years Oklahoma Negro - Has Bsen Kept in Suspense. , $#-v- Sentenced for Murder in 190S and Authorities Have Not Yet Set the Data for Execution. Ofdahoma City.--For sixteen y**jrs Rid Kelly, Oklahoma negro, murderer of Jim Dillingham, ha*s been Imprisoned In Oklahoma, dally awaiting word from the legally constituted authorities that will set the date for his execution at tlie hands of the federal or state governments. And bis suspense Is not yet ended. Since October, 1905, the negro has been imprisoned and for the last ten years has been In the custody of the prison authorities at McAlester, who have not even ordinary commitment papers as their authority for his incarceration. The only document possessed by the prison, according to tlie records. Is an order Instructing the sheriff of that caunty to convey the negro to the state penitentiary at McAlester and deliver him to the warden for confinement awaitlag the fiaal action of the court. There the authority ends. While Kelly putters around the prison enclosure awaiting the day when the courts shall decide the date of bis execution, legal lights are bowleg their heads before law books In an endeavor to discover the real status of the prisoner; why the sentence has never been carried out; why he has never been released, and reviewing the case, which in the opinion of some of the most talented of the legal profession, is not only without precedent, but also a most vivid example of the fallibility of courts. It appears that unless some person takes active Interest In the procedure Kelly will be permitted to live and die a natural death In the state prison, although it Is generally agreed among those who have been Interested from time to time that bta trial, couvictloo and sentence was a travesty upon court procedure. According to those who participated In the original trial, although most of those who were directly Interested are dead or scattered to the four corntrs of the Union, Kelly's attorney was a man whose legal knowledge was meager, having just prior to the trial been admitted to the practice of law. his previous training having been devoted to the clergy. It is stated by those whose recollection of the case is the best that the United States district attorney offered to permit Kelly to enter a plea of guilty to a charge of manslaughter anil accept a sentence of five years In the federal penitentiary. This offer, it Is said, was indignantly refused by the attorney for the defense. Great Tragedy 2,000,000,000 Killed by Freeze at Prince of Wales island. CijImi, «f Steamship Northwestern folia of Sailing for Many Milts Through Dead Herring. Ketchikan, Alaska.--What is declared by Captain Brunn and officers of the steamship Northwestern to be the greatest fish tragedy ever enacted to human knowledge occurred, at Klawak Bay, Prince of Wales Island, January 30, when at one stroke more than 2.000.000,000 good steed herring lost their lives. The crew eagerly related their remai'kable experience of sailing through miles of the dead fish. According to those on board, Klawak hay was full of herring three days before the Northwestern arrived,, when a sudden freeze caught the fish in the narrow-necked harbor before they could escnpe tx» sea. When they were first noticed by George Bradovich, an employee of the Craig cannery, near Klawak, they had swarmed Into the harbor in such numbers that those on top were forced out of the water. The freese came with great suddenness and severity and about six inches of ice formed on ihe harbor. Millions of the herring at the entrance could be seen dumbly fighting to get out to sea before, the enclosed waters were frozen. When the Northwestern arrived the tide had receded, and for twenty to fifty feet on the beech, and several hundred feet out Into the water for a distance of three and one-half mlies around the harbor lay, frozen herring. The officers of the sliip and the cannery foreman made careful measurements and found that the fl.«h were tightly packed for an average depth of three fpet. v* . "It may sound li|»' a 8A story," said Bradovich of the cannery, "but thte fact is that the greatest chance In the world for obtaining good, fresh fish without a stroke of work has been lost. For days a few people tried to put some of the herring away for the summer, and unfortunately the steamer could take none. The nearest Indians who would have appreciated the flah were 300 miles away. "The ship had the greatest difficulty In navigating out of the harbor at Klawak, as the propeller had to do the work of desiccator, and it barely made a knot an hour. The captain noted the event on the ship's log so that his superiors may know why tlie vessel will reek of fish for weeks." -V "Champ"^Whisky Maker Dead. Frankfort.

Italians Hunt Oil at Home Government Engineers Report Large ^ ' Quantities Can Be Obtained <Nfc " 1$ . ^ Island of 8lcliy. .V • Rome.--The Italian government has decided to search for petroleum at home. The country needs about 400,000 tons a year, including heavy oils and benzine. This Is at present supplied by America, and the high exchange makes the business very expensive. So far, Italy only produces about onesixteenth of the oil needed. Italian engineers, who have studied 'the fields, report that oil can be obtained in large quantities from the island of Sicily, that part of southern Italy known as the Basilicata, from Salerno. Lizlo and the Avelino province. So the ministry of Industry has decided to spend some money In boring for oil in those districts. Thus far the sums voted are small, being a little over a million lire (about $363,000). But U is hoped that if #- the search now being undertaken brings good results more Will h6 appropriated very soon.
