EQUAL SUFFRAGE CLUBS.

Any equal suffragist desiring to
have an amendment campaign club
organized in his Tor herr district is
requested to write to me, telling at
what time he thinks it best to hold a
meeting, and about how large a club
can be organized and giving any other
information he can.
1t is desired to organize at least one
club in each voting precinct, but it
may be better to have more since the
precincts are so large. Those who
gave their names at the afternoon
meeting of June 5th, will hear from
me very soon in regard to meetings in
their townships.
would be especially glad to hear
from equal suffragists in North and
South Elsmore and East Cottage
Grove, as l have no names from those
places. ALICE X. PEARSON,
County Organizer,

PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL
SKETCH OF SOME OF THE
MEN WE ALL KNOW.

James Clark Coffield was born in
Grant county Indiana in1S45. When
IA years of age he came with his par
ents to Kansas, the family locating on
a claim in Deer Creek township.
When the war broke out the 16 year
old boy
"Saddled his horse and rode away
And fit for the Union
as private in Company H. 9th Kan
sas Cavalry. He shared the fun and
fighting of that gallant regiment for
four years, being mustered out in
the spring of 1865.
After year on the Deer Greek farm
he went to La Bette county and took
claim. But he gave that up for some
good reason or other and came back TO
lola and went to school for year or
so. trying to fill some of the gaps the
war had made.
After the school year, he went into
the army business again after certain
fashion, being appointed deputy us.
Marshal and then deputy sheriff. In

the course of time his brother-in-law
John Francis, was elected county
treasurer aud Coffield went into the
office as deputy. During Francis
second term he was much engaged In
outside business and the deputy prac-
tically ran the office. Afterwards he
was appointed by Judge Goodin to
fill vacancy in the office of Clerk of
the District Court and served there for
about Is months. This official part of
his biography explains where he az
quired that beautiful handwriting and
that aptitude for office work which
peculiarly fits him for the Office he
now fills.
Leaving the District Clerks office
he went into the grocery and drug
store of Jpo. Francis & Co., and
cierked there until the firm went cut
of business in 1877. He then went
back to the Deer Creek farm where he
attended strictly to business until JAM
uary last when he turned 1t over to
his oldest son and came i'm to take
charge of the Office ofRegister of deeds
to which he had been elected as a
Republican by handsome majority.
Mr.. Coffield was happily married to
Miss Sarah Fulwider in 1872, and four
children, three of whom are living,
sprung from this union.
Clark Coffield never won any prizes
at beauty show that we know of.
And probably no one has worried
less over it than he has. But it would
be hard to find a man who has more
friends or who better deserved them.
While onlv boy he was good SOL
dier and as a man he has been a
good citizen. He never tried to make
a public speech that we know of, but
in private talk he is full of ideas and
has a quaint and vigorous original
ity of expression that is most enter
tanning. He is particularly well quail
flied for the Office which he occupies
and he is performing its duties to the
entire satisfaction of all who have
business there.

than $50 years old, had been previously
repaired but three times-once in 1925,
again in 1881 and then in 1S42.
s'The watch has an interesting his
tory. 1t is now the property of David
Minthorn, who has an authentic record
of 1t. 1t was made by Thomas Linford
Of London in 1926, and in time came
into the possession of George III, who
presented it to Sir William johnson,
when he left England to take charge Of
affairs in the colony of New York. Sir
William presented it to the famous In
dian chief Joseph Brant, whose sister
was Sir Williams mistress
tIn giving the watch to Brant Sir
William remarked that it was surely
worth 40 rebel scalps.' When Brant
had his headquarters in the >Schoharie

The Trim American Foot.

Several London newspapers have been
their readers during the
Whitsun holidays by lively controver-
sy over the respective size and beauty
of the feet of English and American
women. Some editors, in the face Of
overwhelming evidence, confess that
English feet are out of running in such
a controversy. and console themselves
by asserting that the feet Of Englishmen
are far more shapely than those of their
American brothers. There have been
many indignant protests against even
this admission. The shoe dealers when
assured that they may speak incog.. re-
gretfully admit that they are unable
to fit.the trim American foot with any
shoe ready made for the fat and fat
feet of English women.
