FARM WOMEN OF OHIO COMPATRIOTS OF MEN (By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, O.. Dec. 15. Ohio

farm women soon will be recognized ; as the compatroits of men in the Ohio Farm Bureau federation, it was i said here today by officials. Placing !

of farm women on an equal statu;? with r men is to be done soon in the American Farm Bureau federation, and most, if not all, state farm bureau federations, and Ohio is on the list of those so to recognize the women. This will be accomplished, it was said, without the necessity of putting

into operation any "nineteenth amend-1

ment, tnougn it is admitted tnat changes in laws here and there may have to be made by state and American federations, through which changes women may be elevated to executive committees. A great deal of the trend toward equal suffrage in the farm bureaus, It is said, came from Ohio women and men. In this state when A man becomes a member of the farm bureau that means that his entire family is a member. There is only one vote, however. In some states memberships have been sold to both man and wife, each holding voting power. In one or two states there are separate organizations. Recently a convention of farm women put up to the Ohio Farm Bureau federation a suggested program for women's membership. It has the sanction of the members of the executive committee and will be up for action at the annual meeting of the federation during farm week at Ohio State university, the last week of January.

THESE SOCIETY WOMEN WIN FAME IN ART AND LITERATURE

banner bearer ot a hope, the tongue of the silent, heavily burdened masses of war-stricken Europe, giving voice to there mute longing lor emancipation from militarism and imperialism. A mighty force had laid hold upon him, making him its mouthpiece, its megaphone, and giving bis words such a dominion over the minds of men as the words of none other ever had wielded. With the downfall of the czar, the most sinister partner in the entente, and with Austria drawn into, the war, the president saw the conflict in the light of' those two events which, happened within three weeks of each other, as a struggle between the free peoples and autocrat! government, a fight to make the world safe for democracy, a war against war. -That alignment simplified the issue to the popular Imagination, making the war seem at least no longer a wrestle for power and trade, but a duel between democracy aftd autocracy, with the American president and the German kaiser typifying the contending hosts. Tlfe president himself has sadly admitted that some of the hopes which he innocently awakened resulted in a "metaphysical tragedy". Was iUall only a dream? Was the beautiful vision which rose before a despairing world only a mirage ot the desert, the desert which the war had made? The years, not the hours, will answer. However far the reality may prove

in the sequel to have fallen short of

the ideal, thla republican chief was at least enabled to doom ' the autocracies which he had challenged. The German and Austrian emperors themselves made President Wilson the arbiter of their fate when their governments came to him as suitors for peace. If the wireless of the Nauen Tower had called London or Paris, those kaisers might still be wearing their crowns; but when instead Washington was called, the answer flashed back from the White House' that the peoples ot Germany and Austria must

speak for themselves before the j president would refer to the allies the ! request for an armistice. That was , the death sentence of kaiseriam, and down went thrones that had stood an age.

The rest: The president's journey to Europe, the treaty and the battle over it. are history still in the making. Many years must pass before that extraordinary chapter in the story of the presidency will be finished and may be told In the spirit of historical impartiality.

Authors, dramatists and humorists have lonf made sport of the society woman who dabbled in art and literature, but there is a large group of New York society women who are showing these satirical professionals that one can be a success in art in spite of society life.

Some of our best known "vomen of letters are New York society matrons. Mrs. Whr.rton lead- New York society's literary field, while Princess Pierre Troubetzkoy, better known as Amelie Rives, whose typewriter never rests, and Mrs. Nelson O'Shaughnessy have advanced

well toward the foreground In the world of books, and in the field of literary criticism there is itirs. Earry Payne Whitney. The work of Mrs. William Aster Chanler and Miss Mariorie A. Curtis has done more than invite criticism some of it has commanded favorable comment.

Five Minutes with Our Presidents

By JAMES MORGAN

It fell to President Wilson not only

to lead the country into the great war.

but it was also his fortune to be the spokesman of the allied people. Whether he stood before a joint session of congress, or amid the white headstones of Arlington cemetery or by the tomb at. Alt. Vernon, hp had tho

civilized world for his sounding hoard. !

Though he spoke in the quiet tones i

or tne classroom, without the gestures, the flowers or any of the braiding of j oratory, his winged words thundered

and flashed above the roaring guns of I Armageddon, making themselves heard in the entrenchments and the capitals of the enemy as well as of the Entente. He became the master propagandist in a war of propaganda. His type-'

writer in the White House was the Big Bertha of the Allies, getting the range of Potsdam and of Vienna, 4,000 miles away, and raining its shells on the roofs of the Hohenzollerns and the Hapsburgs. The German government at first scorned, then distorted and finally suppressed the president's indictments of it. They were smuggled over the border by spies and airplanes. Enemy soldiers and peoples were forbidden, under the penalty of treason, to pick them up; but they passed from hand to hand, from mouth to mouth in secret circulation, or were hidden under hearthstones in the cottages of the peasantry, who treasured them as a new gospel of deliverance from war. The presidency was carried to the

summit of world influence, becoming the lofty tribune, from which the moral judgments of humanity were pronounced. For no European premier could speak with the dynamic force of the elected chief of America, whose speeches were accepted as the impartial verdict of a great jury of 100,000,000 detached and disinterested people, the largest body of public opinion anywhere. "It is the voice of posterity," exclaimed a French statesman at the reception of the president's war message, which was read in the schools and posted on the dead walls of France. Avenues, streets, squares and bridges of ancient cities were renamed for the president. Men toiled up Mt. Blanc with the stars and stripes in their hands, to bestow the name of Wilson on an Alpine peak. It was neither Woodrow Wilson nor yet the president of the United States who had the power so to fuse

;the peoples in a fraternity of faith land unify the allied front at home and abroad. The man and the magistrate had become a symbol of freedom, the
