The American Society of Equity is
advising the farmers to held every por-
ton of the years crop possible until the
minimum prices for the different grains
at the terminals are placed at, as follows
wheat $1.l5, flax Sl.50, barley S.65, oats
$50. The society is using every effort
to prevent a glut on the market which
would mean cheap prices and have a
tendency to defeat the aim of the organ
ization. The A. S. e. strives to raise
the price of grain and it's partial success
in that line has already put extra money
in the farmers pocket.

A WOMAN FOR PRESIDENT

And now comes William Dean Howells
with a suggestion. Bad as it is, to have
MIR. Howells come at all in politics, one
must contemplate in awe a visitation
from him when accompanied by a sug-
p%estion. Just now he has the sutfragette
idea of a women for President. Where
else could such a bee buzz? But as it
is here and In the care of so distinguished
a citizen as William Dean Howells we
might ask-why not: Women have
performed civic functions as we'll and
sometimes better than mon.
The President of the United States is
Commander-in-C Chief of the Army and
Navy. Would a woman fit there? She
may accept the military rank without
mounting a horse and leading a charge,
and perhaps would appear really COM
Portable. though hardly as substantial,
as President Taft at the head of the
troops. Mrs. Clarence Mackey, for
example, would be a dashing leader,
though we do not mean hereby to sug-
gest her as the sutfragette candidate
for the Presidency. 1t is merely out of
courtesy to Mr.. Howells one discusses
this subject ut all. Having awkwardly
stumbled into mentioning the name of
one possibility and with the picture of a
ID. \. II. convention wildly before our
,,nr, n,ac wa rosnnatf,,1)u S,,I>n;t tI,+
any criticism to be made of the sugges.
ton we have added to Mr.. Howells' be
sent direct to Mr.. iiowells. But serious
ly speaking, we do not believe the Com.
mander-in Chief proposition to be a bar
at all.
Again raising an iuquiring finger we
would like to ask i ace or former con.
dition of lie other words. are maider
ladies to ue barred. Mr. Howells
answer is THAI maiden lady president.
would be ever more rare than bachelor
presidents. The excess baggage which
the female President would take to ths
White House IN the forlm OF a husband
Would surely effect 4 serious change II
in the statute of man. He would O
necessity, we assume, be obliged t,
attend to the social functions OF tn,
White House. Or would that be let t,
q salaried secretary: What a splendit
opportunity for fishing excursions an,
hunting trips, if the husbands dutie
were not confined to attending AFTERNOON
teas. We fear, however, thatman woul,
soon dwindle from an energetic person
age capable of being an enthusiastic fal
at a baseball game to a pink pill afiai
amid the care-free lines of such a life.
We will excuse you, Mr.. Howells. TO
bringing this suggestion around. Blu
kindly refrain from naming a woman TO
Secretary of the Treasury. The build
ing is overrun with mice.

Milton is all swelled up over what
some anonymous stranger said about
it being the ~cleanest and most we'll kept
little town ir the state. The endeavor
is n we'll worth the emulation of others
who absorb too much of the odor of rank
weed growth and back alley accum-
mutation. 1t is not in order, however.
just at present for residents of the
south-end town to make comparisons.
Langdon had it's streets, b%oulevards and
lots in both resident and business sec
tons of the city in apple pie order when
the cyclone in one fell swoop left wreck
age, death and disaster, where the efforts
of our civic improvement league had
been most marked. Langdon is as
progressive a town as any of Its neigh
bors; its residents are thoroughly imbued
with civic pride and it is rapidly re-
facilitating itself with a garment of all
the tints that attract the stranger
within it's gates. Another year and all
eyes will be turned Langdonward.
