WOMANS' SUFFRAGE
CAMPAIGN NOW ON
Headquarters of Association
In New York Is a Busy
Place.

WANT CONGRESS TO SUBMIT TO
THE STATES AN AMENDMENT
WHICH WILL GIVE WOMEN THE
RIGHT TO VOTE.
ARE MAILING PETITIONS
(American News Service)

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The national
crusade for woman's suffrage was in
full swing today. At the headquarters
of the National Woman's Suffrage
Association of the United States. clerks
were busy sending out blank petitions
by thousands into every corner of the
country to receive signatures asking
congress to submit to the legislatures
of the states an amendment to the con-
stitution which shall enable women to
vote.
Mrs. ]. NJ. Bradley. who is in charge
of the work. said today that enough
blank petitions have been circulated
throughout the United States to give
practically all persons in the centers
of population who believe in suffrage
for women, an opportunity to SO ex-
press themselves to the next congress.
Want Million Names.
AS fast d the petitions are signed
they are sent to headquarters here
When a million names are secured
which will mean that 100000 persons
in the country will have expressed
themselves in favor of granting wom-
en- the right to vote, the thousands of
smaller blanks bearing the names will
be combined into one gigantic roll, big
enough perhaps to fill a good sized
dray, or If one roll is too large, then
into four great rolls. which will be
presented to the house soon after the
next congress assemblies in December.
Interesting ceremonies will occur
when the committee of suffrage lead
ers have the great petition brought in
and presented to the house through
Speaker Cannon.
'tOf course we shall make no disor-
derby scene," said Mrs. Bradley, but
congress will know that we are pres
ent. You may be sure of that
''One would be surprised at the ex-
tent of the sympathy that the move
ment is meeting with all through the
country" continued Mrs. Bradley. I'VE
have just received a letter from a man
in Florida, who says that if the ques-
ton were submitted to the voters of
that state, now, that a great majority
would give women the right to fran
chise.
Mot only by petition are the suf-
fragettes agitating their cause through
the states. The open air meetings in
parks and on street corners are being
held in various towns and cities in
Massachusetts,, Washington and other
states"

will probably run the full government
figures of S5.O00,000 bushels. This
will mean $15,OOO,OOO more to the
farmers of Kansas than any previous
wheat crop has paid.
Arthur Capper of Topeka says Kan.
sas corn will be worth 100000, 900
| oats worth sS.000,00O. and the total
farm products worth $500, OOO, 900, and
the live stock $1S0,0O0,000 more.
Large Yield In Indiana.
The Indiana Farmer says the larg-
est yield of corn in the history Of the
state is assured; that the increased
production per acre Of wheat makes
up for the reduction in acreage, and
that oats will be a great crop this
year.
John Field, editor of the Oklahoma
Farm Journal, reports corn at 10000
900 bushels. He estimates the value
of the wheat crop at $4,000. 900 and
with oats enough better this season
to make up for any deficit in the val.
ue of the wheat.
The Wisconsin Agriculturist reports
that corn promises we'll. Late pota-
toes will probably be an average crop;
tobacco is making rapid progress.
Missouris report, furnished by the
National Farmer and Stock Grower
states that the corn crop in general
will be large: wheat will be better than
last year; hay is abundant and selling
high, and oats in the number of bush
els will exceed any previous record.
Missouri live stock is selling we'll.
Kentucky tobacco has fine prospects
for greet yield. Winter wheat in
Kentucky and Tennessee will have
a much larger yield than early condi-
lions indicated and the estimate is for
II GOO, 600 bushels in each state. The
corn yield in Kentucky will be about
100 100000 bushels and in Tennessee
about 1OO,OOOOOO. The south will pro-
duce more corn this year than ever be-
fore.

The wild hay crop is estimated at
nearly 100000 more tons than 1908.
Alfalfa, about the same as last year
and tame hay, an.increase of 100000
tons.
J. M. Stahl of the Illinois Farmer
reports from first hand Information
that the corn crop will be a record
40 bushels to the acre.. and that yields
of 30 bushels an acre shave been COM
mon. This, with the high prices, spells
prosperity for wheat farmers. Hay
and oats are above the average at
high prices.
The Farmers Review, on informa-
ton given by 500 crop reporters, pre-
diets wheat to be the best crop in
years, yields running from 20 to 80
bushels an acre.
Iowa Farmers Prosperous.
James Atkinson, editor Of Iowa
Homestead, expects the, Iowa corn
crop will be considerable greater than
last year. He believestthe yield will
be close to 100000, 900 "bushels. The
Iowa oat crop is better than in 1907
and 1908. Mr.. Atkinson's observation
Is that the farmers in the corn belt
are in better shape than they ever
have been.
The editors of the Ohio Farmer say
the wheat yield. owing to decrease
in acreage, will be 76 per cent of a
full yield; oats, so per cent of full
yield, and the corn crop will be a good
one.
The Michigan Farmer says the
Michigan wheat crop is excellent and
the yield is large. The oat crop will
sbe 80 per cent of normal. The yield
of rye is normal. The cash potato
crop should run about 30,00O,000 BUSH
bels for the state. Fruit conditions in
Michigan are above the average.
The Kansas Farmer states that Mr..
Coburn's estimate of 100000 bush
els of wheat is too low and that it

News comes word that the wheat crop
will exceed last year, but corn will be
about half the crop that last year gave.
Oats will be an average crop and hay
not quite up to the average.
The New England Farmer says that
the crops of New England are gener-
ally lined up well and an abundant
harvest seems assured Practically all
the Maine potato growers have in
creased their acres this year Aroos-
took county alone will yield 1900
600 bushels. New Hampshire reports
a large acreage with outlook for a fine
potato crop. More corn has been
planted in New England this year

probably be more than made up by the
increased value of the baled product,
and the whole south has safeguarded
itself by diversified. farming and other
crops, which this year have come
handsomely to the rescue-notably In
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
In other years of great agricultural
production crops have sometimes been
stored, but this year the condition
seems to be that the farmer with the
product can get his -money for it as
quickly as he desires to market the
crop. and at big prices. Some report
ers state that grain is being taken
right from the thrasher by the buyers
at top notch prices.
Nothing but especially unusual and
entirely unforeseen weather conditions
could change the corn crop from its
apparent yield.
! Plenty Of Corn in Northwest.
In the northwest, according to the
st. Paul Farmer. conditions are par
ticularly good. Thrashing returns are
not all in on .spring rye and barley.
but .the quality of the grain Is extra
good. The oat crop will be the best
in years. The prospect for wheat is
exceedingly good. The corn crop will
be the best ever raised in the north
west.
Secretary Harry Owens of the Farm,
Stock and Home, estimates the spring
wheat harvested in Minnesota and Da-
kota at 100000 bushels more than
last year. He reports that oats, barley
and corn will show larger than last
year, and that while the price of
wheat may be slightly less than last
year, it will undoubtedly run higher
than the average price for the last ten
years.
p. v. Collins believes the govern
ment's conservative figures are too
low and that this years crop of spring
wheat in Minnesota and the Dakotas
exceeds last years more than 50,000,-
900 bushels.
The Dakota Farmer agrees that the
wheat crop, will be the largest ever
harvested; oats will be better than for
years; the flax crop a bumper one,
and the average stand of corn is the
best for years.
Fine Crops In Nebraska.
According to S. r. McKelvie, editor
of the Nebraska Farmer. Nebraska's
corn crop will be 35,OOO,OOO. against
last years 2O6,0O0.OOO bushels. The
crop should be worth 10 cents bushel
more this year. Nebraskas wheat
yield already harvested will run about
100000 bushels. against last years
4O,000,O00. with the price higher than
last year. There will be approximate
ly 100000 bushels of oats. The po-
tato crop will be 100000 bushels.

Notes
BY T. G. II.

Lost, strayed or stolen: Two boys
answering to the names of John Heg-
ger and Charles Tooker; both of tend
er age; not given to much talk and
will not be able to give much infor-
nation as to their own identity. Last
seen of either was going east toward
the chautauqua camp, carrying their
coats on their arms and without hats.
Any information given to Post C as
to their location or for safe return
Of both to the club rooms a liberal re-
ed.
The warm weather during the past
week has caused the boys to desert
the club rooms for cooler places.
Things are quiet around Post C head
quarters at present.
The membership chairman is great
ly off duty and his position will be
open to others if we do not hear from
him soon with a nice line of appli-
cants.
Frank Highley's injury is proving
more severe than at first thought to
be His ankle not only suffered Sc
we're sprain but had the ligaments
torn loose which will necessitate his
confinement to the house for four or
five weeks. DR.. Harold promptly
examined the patient and will file the
necessary papers with the authorities
that will bring the T. P. A. indemnity
to Frank. A T. p. A. membership is
a good thing. Why anyone should
overlook an opportunity like the T. P.
A. offers is beyond reason.
The T. p. A. tent at the chautauqua
is proving source Of great pleasure
to the boys of Post c. and their
friends. A register for each day of the
chautauqua is kept and shows all the
names of the different members who
have called at the tent during the en-
tire time. Many out of town guests
have found the tent convenient for
rest and a place to eat their lunch.
The committee in charge have done
their full duty and have taken care
Of all the visitors in true T. P. A.
style.
With few little touches here and
there the club rooms will be furnish
ed with the improvements to be made
and will present the best appearance
since the post has occupied their pres
emit quarters. With everything in tip
top shape Post C. will have the best
club rooms found in T. P. A. circles
in Indiana The work in charge of
John Heger and Chas. Tooker has
been well handled and no two men
of the entire post could have done
the work SO well and with such entire

Early in the fall the post will give
their first smoker and the rooms will
be shown to the friends OF the post

men possessing names OF worldwide
reputation, and these same men seem
to have acquired the habit OF their

ELECTRICITY VERSUS STEAM.

Within a day or two reports have
come from the operating forces in
the electric division of the New York
and New Haven railroad, telling In
drtail of the results Of the sevcrest
test electricity has over been put to
since It's first utilization for the opera
ton OF trains upon steam road lines.
This test WAS brought about by
reason Of the unprecedented demand
for transportation between New Yorl
ana Boston, which came from those
who desired to see the ~Yale-Harvard
foot bail match. In order to accom-
modate this demand the two night
trains were run in four sections Of
twelve ears each.
The electric motors responded with
perfect satisfaction to TINS unusual
demand upon them. How stupendous
was the electric energy which they re-
ceiVcd under perfect control. SO that
they were able to haul at sixty miles
an hour a tWclvc-car Pullman train,
was most spcctaculorly demonstrated

like Marseilles mutton chops have

The average French family has paid'

that the cost or them has increased

the United states are paying more for

the people Of every nation. The un-

production of golI for money has also
had a stimulating effect on prices. In
