BEST OF ILL' President Talks to Far mers at Lansing, Mich. 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.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS APPOINTED 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. Sentry, J. Lee Barnes, J. B. Smith, W. D. Manly. Walter P. Andrews, Dr. J. W. Hurt. Evelyn Harris. Louis Regen- stein, Dr. J. E. Sommerfleld, A. K. Hawkes. W. 8. Wltham. F. L. Seely, 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.” CHEERED BY VETS Continued from Page- One.
