Italy is not usually supposed to fur.
nish favorable soil for the suffragette
movement. 1t is therefore little sur
prising to find how strong that move
ment has already become. The con-
gress of Italian women that has just
been held in Rome is not so much the
inauguration as the continuation and
consolidation of feminist effort that
has already met with marked success.
Although isolated groups had been
working for the amelioration Of wom-
ans lot in Italy ever since it's political
regeneration, 1t was not till 1898 that
real feminist movement made itself
apparent. In Milan was founded the
Unione Femminile, which now has
more than 100000 members. Turin
followed suit, with that splendid soci-
ETY. now ramified all over the peninsu-
la, the Cooperative Feminine Indus
tries; Tuscany, the Romagna, the
Emilia, took up the example, until
there exist now some 20 different Sec
tions, each autonomous in it's methods
and ideals. but all helping forward the
social and ethical upraising of the
land. 1t was to bring together these
scattered sections, for the purpose of
tnterchanging ideas and projects, that
this Roman congress was called.

ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
MAKE MONEY Is TO INVEST

"Deep down in the nature OF every

Iowa State Register thus tersely ex
presses a well-known truth. The ques

same writer points out in the same ar

the writer has personal interest In
the statement of his case, and there IL
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting greab

the American Continent, to the man
who is inclined to till the soil for
livelihood and possible competence
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and WHOM
fairly analysed the conclusion ID
reached that no matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
reasons appear to have the quality OF
great soundness. The climatic condi
tons Of Western Canada are fully as
good as those of Minnesota, the Dako
tas or Iowa, the prodactiyeness Of the
soil is as great, the social conditions
established and as carefully observed
In addition to these the price of land
Is much less, easier to secure. So, with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada--be
embraced. The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States
appear to be-are satisfied. Once in
awhile complaints are heard, but the,
Canadians have never spoken Of the
country as an Eldorado no matter
what they may have thought. The,
