The Woman Who Did What 
She Could 
(Continued from -page 103) 
gone before—and Lo: the Night 
cometh! 
Two thousand years ago in the palmy 
days of pagan Rome, they buried a 
Roman woman in a cemetery outside 
the city walls. Was she sister or 
daughter or sweetheart or wife we can 
never know. But he who sorrowed for 
her set above her for epitah, one simple 
phrase whose magic makes her still 
young, and human, and warm, and 
lovely after twenty centuries, “She 
Whom Many Loved.” 
Then I thought of her and of other 
women; women of a type very foreign 
to this farm woman and to me; women 
such as I have glimpsed now and then 
just for a moment as they passed, 
sometimes almost insolently at ease in 
the crowded lobby of a great hotel, 
sometimes in the snug security of rush¬ 
ing Pullman trains; women with the 
air and carriage of queens being 
handed on winter nights from purring 
limousines into the dazzling patch of 
radiance that lies about the playhouse 
doors; these women in filmy lace, and 
satin, and furs and jewels, with wonder¬ 
ful cloaks thrown about them, conceal¬ 
ing the great purple bunch of violets 
at their breast; women strolling across 
velvet golf courses cool and fresh 
and dainty of an autumn morning. 
Parasitic women these who “toil not, 
neither do they spin”; women who 
“have but fed on the roses and lain 
in the lilies of life”; women with soft 
hands and beautiful pampered bodies— 
sometimes too soft, and indolent and 
selfish, they tell me, to even suckle the 
children that they bear—I wonder—are 
they really “sisters under their skins” 
to my woman of the farm to whom the 
years have brought so little of leisure 
or opportunity. Then I remember an¬ 
other woman—a woman of Syria long 
ago whose life, I think, was narrow 
and circumscribed and bound about and 
concerning whom One made a phrase— 
a gentle phrase of kindly approval that 
still goes whispering down across the 
centuries, “She hath done what she 
could.” 
Well—every tale should have an 
ending, and so has mine. I have before 
me the report of the executive commit¬ 
tee of the bank and these good folks 
will get their loan—the full amount 
they asked—and thereby the future will 
be a little more secure and freer of 
trouble than before. 
I can only hope that the years that 
wait for them may bring to them a 
little more of kindly, pleasant things 
than has the past. 
THE OPPORTUNITY OF DAIRY 
SECTIONS 
“Now is the time for all good dairy 
States to come to the front with an 
exhibit typical of their section of the 
country”—is the opinion of W. E. 
Skinner, Manager of the National 
Dairy Exposition to be held October 
5-13, at the New York State Fair 
Grounds, in Syracuse. 
New York State has taken the lead, 
and appropriated $10,000 to put on an 
exhibit exemplifying dairying as prac¬ 
ticed in New York State. States as 
far west as Wisconsin and Washing-ton 
are bringing exhibits across the conti¬ 
nent, the nature of which have not been 
disclosed. 
Ohio will make a display of its Swiss 
Cheese industry in an extensive exhibit 
and there will be large exhibits of 
buttermaking from leading butter 
States. The United States Department 
of Agriculture will set up an elaborate 
$30,000 exhibit showing “Dairying of 
the Past” and “Dairying of the Pres¬ 
ent,” which is destined to be a classic 
in the field. 
Each State is making an effort to 
put on an exhibit typical of the State, 
that each may compare ways and 
means, and exchange ideas of practical 
value. Every farmer goes to the Ex¬ 
position with the idea of bringing back 
something he can put into use on the 
farm. 
It is the aim of Manager W. E. 
Skinner, who has been promoting dairy 
shows for the past ten years, to make 
this seventeenth one a more “Practical 
Exposition” than has ever before 
been held.

One of These Modem Com Binders 
Will Help You This Year 
McCormick, 
Deering, and 
Milwaukee 
Corn Binders 
If your corn binder is past the possibility of safe repairing, you will do well to talk to 
your McCormick-Deering dealer about a new machine for this year’s corn harvest. 
McCormick and Milwaukee Corn Binders are very popular among men who prefer upright bind¬ 
ing, whereas the Deering is equally popular among farmers who would rather have the bundles 
tied lying flat. All three machines are well made, thoroughly efficient, and light of draft. You 
assure yourself a successful corn harvest when you take home one of these good corn binders. 
McCormick-Deering Ensilage Cutters 
Built in five sizes. Capacities 3 to 25 tons of cut fodder an hour. All sizes have reliable 
safety devices, force-feed, large throat, and heavy, large-capacity flywheels of boiler plate 
steel. Horsepower required ranges from 6 to 25 h. p. Consult your McCormick-Deering 
dealer. He will show you any piece of McCormick-Deering corn harvesting equipment.
