10 the Editor: Observing some fig
ures in rofessor Vithers' article on
Sunday, which We're similar to some
recently published elsewhere, I was
cruious to learn their significance. The
census states the numbe of persons
engaged il agricultural pursuits in the
United States to be substantially as
Professor Withers says: but that mum
Der embraces 'all agricultural persons
over ten Years Of age, females as we'll
as males" Because Of our negro
population, at the South there are ten
times as many females embraced in
the figures as at the West.
In North Carolina, the number Of
female agricu1turiSts is given as A.
000, while for the twelve great States
from Ohio to Kansas the females are
stated at $4,000, although h number
of males in those States engaged in
agricultural is seven times as great as
in North Carolina. In South Carolina
the number of female agricultural Ia
bOrerS is 115. 600: in Georgia, 100000:
Alabama $4,000; Mississippi $1,000.
A negro man and his wife at the
South are counted as two agricul-
turists; at the Northwest the women
are not counted. With us many chill
dren yer ten years Of e work. as
we'll as the women; and they are
counted.

man and his wife n a horse earn
about three hundred and eighty dol

IDEAL SUFFRAG|STS
Women of Hopi Indian Tribe Run
Things as They Please.
Ascendency of Females Was Secureo
Centuries Ago as Result Of Their
Strike Against Being Treated
as Beasts of Burden.

Flagstaff, Ariz.-Down here in the
Great Painted desert man beleaguered
by the suffragist hosts may find FULLY
illustrated the fate that will be hic
when the womans rights movement
reaches its fullest fruition. Long be-
fore the beskrted women of the east
even thought about demanding the
ballot their bianketed sisters in the
Hopi Indian nation had fought out the
matter and won.
The Hopis are better known to fame
as the Mokis or Moquis, but the latter
appellation was bestowed upon them
III derision by their warlike Navijo
and Apache enemies. Hopi means
people of peace Moqui means
dead men"
Hopi women do not vote, but it is
only because they do not want to.
They do about everything else that is
masculine and do it because they like
1t.
Hopi houses are built by the wom-
en-. The houses are theirs, and their
children take their mothers name, not
the fathers. When u Hopi maiden
makes up her mind to marry she does
not trouble herself about asking the
consent of the man upon whom her
eye has alighted with favor. She
asks his mother.
The husband does not prepare a
home for his bride. She takes him
into hers The produce which he
raises is hers whenever it is stored in
her house, and no Hopi man ever has
property in his own name.
Tradition has it that the ascendency
of these Hopi women was secured cen
turtles ago as the result of strike.
The ancient Hopi used his women as

Indian custom.
They rebelled and gathered by
themselves on an unoccupied mesa.
There they held out. resisting all
Establishments and entreaties and
threats, and only consented to return
when assured that they should be

Generations of rulership have
stamped the Hopi women as the ST.
maidens, good looking as women and
often retain their rounded faces and
fine hair until old age comes on.
Compared to them the men are
stunted. The women are of more than
average good figure, muscular and
healthy looking. The men grow wiz
ened early and go about their task as
though they didn't get much out of
life. OF smaller stature, they are
often very hardy, and as messengers
are capable of going tremendous dis
tances without apparent fatigue
The same difference marks the men
tai activities of the two sexes. The
men seem to have little to concern
themselves about and are dull witted
while the women are alert and ener-
getic, and in disposing of their bas-
kerry and pottery, made by them
selves, they are much the better bar
gamers.
The men are slow of speech and in
81; ha ciln hn
talkative and a house building stunt
is accompanied by more conversation
than half dozen sewing circles
among the palefaces.
The harder tasks are cheerfully
shouldered by the capable women, and
while they are busy at them the men
are condemned to weave the clothing
of their wives and knit the stockings
for the whole household. Only in the
preparation of food is the domesticity
of the women displayed.
The little there is of government is
in the hands of the men, who also
form the priesthood. The Hopi is a
very religious gentleman. About half
of each month is taken up in religious
ceremonials of one kind or another.
Most famed of these ceremonies is the
snake dance.
The men wear their hair long, with
a band about the forehead Their
shirts are of calico, their trousers of
white muslin slit on the side from the
knee down. They wear rawhide moe
casins and soleless socks. The more
fastidious assume loud velvet shirts,
necklaces and finger rings of silver.
The women wear a dress made like
a blanket This is thrown over the
shoulder and the two si1es are sewed
up. An opening is left Tor the right
arm, while the left shoulder remains
bare. Around the waist is worn a
fancy woven sash, underneath which

But that is only minor point in the ADOPTION
of new national food by Uncle Sam. With
each year the production of the hens OF the couh-
try is becoming smaller in proportion to the de
mand for eggs As consequence the experts
declare that each succeeding year will see the
price soar beyond expectations. The last months
of winter and the first of early spring are the
hardest for the egg eaters. for then the cost
soars there less of the precious morses and
those which appear are often hodoVerS from the

thousands of farmers yearly devoting their
land to the raising of fowls.
The industry has already become a mighty
factor in national life and within two decades if
the country continues to eat eggs at the present
rate of increase the business of growing eggs
may outweigh that of cattle and grain.
In the large cities, Chicago, for instance the
high price of meat compelled the poorer classes
to adopt the egg means of obtaining nourish-
ment. The increased demand O. course boosted
the price. but still the middle and upper classes
cling to the fowl product, foul or fair.
In the great marts of trade the egg industry is
perhaps the most interesting of all. One great
cold storage warehouse in Chicago during the
last egg famine unoaded the market close
to 100000, and every sold to the local
retail merchants. The eggs said to have
been in cold storage for nine months, pending an
