More than century of service in

celebrated the other day when the
Robertson memorial chapel in Haskell
was dedicated. Many of those present
we're full-blood Creek Indians, among
whom Rev. w. s. Robertson preached
and worked so long. The two daugh-

Mrs. ~ B. Moore of Haskell, were
honored guests.
Forty years ago In an Indian cabiu

Rev. Mr.. Robertson preached the first
sermon ever preached In this section
OF the country. He was at that time

Two remarkable events illustrating
the rapid advancement. or retrogres-
sion. OF woman recently occurred. One
IN England. where woman assaulted
the Hon. Winston Churchill, the other
In Illinois. where women helped lynch
negro murderer Both are notable
in that they are so AZ variance with
the average Americans idea Of wo-
manly actions
We. with reyerent memory OF our
mothers love, have been accustomed
to place women on a pedestal and
enshrine her with all the high and
noble qualities lacking In our ooarser
natures. Is IL possible that we have
made a mistake? Can II be that she
is not Justly entitled 20 all the homage
we have laid at her feet?
The two acts we refer to are dis
gusting The one in Illinois needs no
comment There are always plenty OF
men to kill when necessary. The one
In England was the performance OF
one OF those spectacular screaturea,
who hEve been storming Parliament
starting riots, and who, when arrested
and imprisoned, In an endeayor to
obtain notoriety, have refused TO eat
and forced the officials to employ a
stomach pump TO feed them. They
are known as suffragettes and seek
the right to vote.
Now we Americans have been look
ing on their actions with superior
complacency, but 1t is time to take
notice, because they have invaded our
land, and we do what we can to pre-
serve for our wives, and daughters,and
sweethearts. those qualities that have
made them our superiors. II II would
give them pleasure to vote, and that
was all, there should be no objection.
But when their endeavor to obtain
this, causes qualities to be displayed

result inY 1t looks like a breaking

per bushel to be $O.6S8. and the cost
OF production per acre $7ss. These
figures may not be correct for Carroll
county. but are useful as matter OF
illustration, and SO employing them
we find. by calculation, that raising 16
bushels per acre we make $2.32; by
raising 90 bushels we make $4.87.
Thus we see that we get as large a
net profit from one crop of 20 bushels
as two crops of 16 bushels, and that
we lose ON crop Of twelve. II don't
pay then to cultivate a large acreage
of rundown soils; more money will
be made by replenishing and plant
ing less. In other words, we should
try and make two stalks of wheat
corn, and grass grow where we now
raise one. To do this we must change
present methods and use those that
have been found successful else

them and must learn. The Agricul-
tural Department has done much with
