WIFE ON FARM
NOT A DRUDGE
“Parents Are First of Sov
ereign and Most Divine
of Priests.”
Lansing, Mich., May 31.—Commenc
ing almost with daylight, regular and
special trains disgorged crowds of peo.
pie from all sections of;the state who
come primarily to ljelp celebrate the
Hftteth anniversary of the founding of
the Michigan Agricultural College, the
first of its kind In the world, but prin
cipally to see and hear President Roose.
velt.
Every store and every residence Is
decorated with nags and bunting and
everywhere can be seen members of
the state militia who escorted the pres
ident through cheering throngs to the
state capttoT.
The president reached here on a spe
dal Lake Shore train at exactly 10
o clock amid the booming of cannon
and was Immediately driven to the cap
ital building, where a reception was
held In .the governor’s parlors.
After this he addressed the members
of the house and senate and gave a 10v
tnlnute speech to a crowd estimated at
is.ooo froth the balcony over the main
entrance. .
After beginning hi*’speech President
Roosevelt reviewed the benefits afford
ed the agriculturists of the United
States by the big department of agri
culture; the apparent results through
tne country and the future of agri
cultural pursuits. He spoke of the farm
labor question and the problems facing
the farmers of today.
President Roosevelt said:
Lack of Farm Labor.
"All over the country there la a con-
•tarn, complaint of paucity of farm la
bor.
"I would like to point out that you
can never get the right kind, the beat
«ind, of labor If you offer employment
°nly for a few months, for no man
worth anything will permanently ac
cept a system which leaves him In Idle-
"**• for half the year.
The Farmer’s Wife.
“And most Important of all, I want to
**F a special word on behalf of the
one who Is too often the very hardest
worked laborer on the farm—the farm
ers wife. Reform. Ilkrf charity, while
Jt should not end at home, should cer-
“ij'y begin there.
I emphatically believe that for the
U' It majority of women the really In-
dispensable tnduitry In which they
tumc <1 engage la the Industry of th*
Should Not b* Drudge.
‘Rut this does not mean that sh*
*bould be an overworked drudge. There
Is plenty that Is hard and rough and
disagreeable In the necessary work of
actual life, and under the’ best circum
stances, and no matter how tender and
considerate the husband, the wife will
have at least her full share of work
and worry and anxiety; but If the man
Is worth his salt he will try to take as
much as possible of the burden oft the
shoulders of his helpmate.
Children Beit Crop.
"The best crop Is the crop of chil
dren; the best products of the farm
are the men and women raised there
on; and the most Instructive and prac
tical treatises on farming, necessary
though they be. are no more necessary
than the books which teach us our duty
to our neighbor, and above all to the
neighbor who Is of our own house
hold.
“Mrs. Wiggs of Csbbsge Patch.”
“You will learn the root principles
of self-help and helpfulness toward
others from ‘Mrs. Wiggs of the Cab
bage Patch,’ just as much as from any
formal treatise on charity.
No Sympathy With Hystarlea.
‘‘Do not misunderstand me. I have
not the slightest sympathy with those
hysterical and foolish creatures who
wish women to attain to easy Uvea by
shirking their duties. I have as hearty
a contempt for the woman who shirks
her duty of bearing and rearing the
children, of doing her full housewife'*
work, as I have for the man who Is
an Idler, who shirks his duty of earn
ing a living for himself and for his
household, or who Is selfish or brutal
toward his wife and children.
•'I believe In the happiness that
comes from the performance of duty,
not from the avoidance of duty. But
I believe also In trying, each of us, as
strength le given us. to bear one an
other's burdens; and this especially In
our own homes.
No Place Like Home.
"Nothing outside* of home can take
the place of home. The school Is an
Invaluable adjunct to the home, but it
Is a wretched substitute for tt. The
family relation Is the most fundamen
tal, the most Important of all rela.
tlons.,
No' leader In church or state, lr
science or art ■ or Industry, however
great his achievement, does work which
compares in Importance with that of
the father and the mother, 'who are
the first of sovereigns and the most
divine of priests.' ”

Chairman Davison Tells the
Story of the Great Work
and Its Needs.
That Atlanta will have a splendid
and permanent home for Its aged, In
firm and dependent women la now
practically assured through the organ
Izatlon of a number of Atlanta’s most
solid and publlc-apirlted business men.
meeting held In the Aragon
Hotel Thursday evening permanent or.
ganixation was perfected, and the en
tire scope of the plan outlined In de
tail. The gentlemen gathered on this
noble work were the guests at lunch
eon of Proprietor J. Lee Barnes.
Beaumont Davison was elected pres
ident; H. M. Patterson, vice president;
Joseph A. McCord, treasurer, and W.
O. Foote, secretary. These officers,
with the following, form the board of
trustees: William M.‘ Nixon, W. T.

D. Manly. Walter P. Andrews, Dr. J.
W. Hurt. Evelyn Harris. Louis Regen-

T. J. Kelly and John Brice.
Since Its Inception the "Old Wom
en's Home" has been operated under
the direction of the King's Daughters,
who have performed a great work
through heroic sacrifice and devotion.
In the present home there are fifteen
Inmates. .
Their Great Need.
As an Indicatlqn of the great need
for commodious quarters, whore all'
the comforts ' may be had, statistics
have been secured to show that there
are nuw In Atlanta over 200 aged la-
dies who need such a home and would
occupy it If there was the necessary sc.
commodattons.
The business organisation that now
takes charge of the affairs of the
home- ha* In sight about 110,000 for
a permanent and commodious (tome.
Every effort of the organization will be
bent now toward raizing 326,000 to
310,000 for such a home. Every public-
spirited citizen of Atlanta should lend
aid to the movement. •
Mr. Davison's 8p«sch.
At the meeting Thursday evening
Mr. Beaumont Davison thus outlined a
history of the home, and told of Its
needs:
"Some four or five years ego it email
company of charitably Inclined women
banded themselves together In this city
for the purpose of doing such little
sets of charity to old and Indigent
women as was In their power. They
got up little entertainments to raise
unds, and they begged money, sup
plies, clothing, eatables and all such
from their friend* and from door to
among poor and aged women. They
kept this up with more or less success
until June. 1904. It,was at this time
that the McKinley fund was being
raised throughout Georgia, with the
late Mr. William A. Hemphill at Its
head. As most of us remember, when
Mr. Hemphill died the raising of this
fund was dropped, then It was that
these some consecrated women formed
themselves Into the "Gordon Circle of
King's Daughters," with . Mrs. Sarah
J. Purtell as Its president. One of the
first things they did was to pledge
themselves to the work of maintain
ing a home for respectable and Indi
gent old women. They accordingly took
the subscription list to the McKinley
fund, wrote to every subscriber, a*k
Ing for the amount they had aubscrlb
ed, and from this fund they received
something like 3500.
"This was the beginning of the nu
cleus from which the present Home for
Old Women sprang and which Is being
carried on today by these devoted phll-
anthroplsts. At first they worked with
out a charter and naturally being with
out any legal papers they met many
obstacles and frequently they reached
the place where the work was so te
dious, so thankless, so little appreciat
ed. that they all but gave It tjp. never
theless when failure more than once
seemed Imminent, they worked with
more harmony and with greater vim,
and so continued the noble charity. It
Is being carried on and maintained to
day by these same good women of our
city. In June, 1904, this little company
of women found out that Mr. Jasper
Smith (or Jack Smith, of House-that-
Jack-built fame), was giving rent free
to three decrepit old women, not a
home, but a house In which they could
sleep. It was out on Neal street, this
city. Some of the Gordon Circle visit
ed them there, found out their needs,
reported It to the balance of the circle
at their next meeting, and without a •dis
senting vote the circle agreed that by
their united efforts they would support
and provide for these three old wom
en.
From 8mall Beginning,
They did to and did It nobly; they
worked hard, furnishing such necessi
ties as would keep body and soul to
gether and such few luxuries as some
of our charitably Inclined citizens saw
fit to give them. Mind you, they
begged for all they received, supported
by their earnest prayafs and their own
personal gifts. This little place on Neal
street was the first Old Women’s Home
In our city. It was‘only an humble
shack, but It opened the way for great
er things; It spurred the Gordon Cir
cle on to greater efforts; It kept those
good ladles handed together In a com
mon cause for good, and tonight, you,
gentlemen, are asked to help further
this grand movement by your assist'
snee and co-operation.
’After supporting these three old
men for some months. It was dee
wise by the circle to move up town
to better quarters. Mrs. Purtell
cured the house at the corner of Cain
and Peachtree, the Identical place
where the Masonic Temple Is now be
ing erected. In less than three weeks
twelve old women were being cared for
when this building had to corns down
for the erection of the Masonic Temple;
the home had to be moved. A house
was then secured on Mitchell street. It
la the present Home of the Old Women
and le owned by Mr. A. K. Hawkes.
At present fifteen women are being
taken care of. The house Is entirely
too small, even for the fifteen, end al
most dally some poor, friendless, but
respectable, old woman comes knocking
at the door for admission. On tbs 8th
of January, 1903, a charter for the car
rying on of the home was granted. Title
was given by Fulton superior court, for
the term of twenty years. The appll-
cants were seventeen women end twen
ty-three men of our city, Mr. J. L. Key
being the attorney. As soon is the
charter was secured the city council
voted the home an advance allowance
of 350 per month. This luted for one
year and on the first of January of this
year we were given 376 a month, which
sum we are still receiving. The county
give* 34 per month for each Inmate,
adding >50 per month to the Income.
Over 200 Dependent Women.
"The Home only admits women who
have at leut three Indorsers u to
their good moral character and re-
our city for at leut one whole year
and they must be at least 60 years of
age. It hu been told me by members
of the Gordon Circle, that there are In
Atlanta alone at leset two hundred de
serving women who are ellglblo and
who would be glad to enter the Home If
suitable quarters could be given them.
This meeting tonight te to provide ways
and means of establishing this home
for old women, putting It on a'business
buls, electing different committees
necessary to the successful launching
of this worthy charity.
"At Its Inception the Gordon Circle
saw the necessity of owning a larger
and better equipped home; and be It
said to their everlasting credit, they
then and there established a building
fund which Mr. McCord, who follows
me. will fully explain. All the monies
given by both the city and county have
religiously been turned Into this build
ing fund, also all money donations and
subscript Inns. Not a dollar hu ever
been touched. It ts now Intact and la
the nucleus from which the new home
must spring.
Adequate Home Needed.
'The fifteen old women that the Cir
cle ore supporting are being fed, cloth
ed and cared for entirely by the char
ity of our people. It Is now with this
body to say whether or not the work
shall be continued and enlarged. If It
Is to be continued a home must be
purchased where adequate accommo
dations must be provided for the ever-
Increaslng demand upon the home, and
while on this subject, let me say that
the only present existing committee
consisting of Messrs. McCord, Kelly,
Patterson, Mansfield and myself (which
Is only a temporary one) have looked
at several homes and building sites,
notably the Nelson home. This mag
nificent property, feeing 409 feet on the
Boulevard, with a grand and very large
brick residence In the middle of the
lot which extends'back som* *00 feet,
can be purchased for 135,000. We al
ready have several large donations
promised provided we relse enough
funds to purchase this property for the
hU "Now, gentlemen, I think I have out-
lined the scope, the Intention and the
hopes for the future of the home, and I
leave It with you In your hands. The
formation of the committees or any
plans for running the home 1 have not
mentioned, deeming It best to leave
that to a matter of dlscuulon. We will
therefore, sfter hearing Mr. McCord
on the finances, b* glad to hear from
any and all of you on what Is best for
the permanent establishment of the At
lanta home for old women.”
