BREAK IN SUFFRAGE RANKS
Rev. Anna Shaw, American Leader,
PromuIgates Protest and Adult
Societies Withdraw.

London, Apr. 30.-A serious break
in the women's suffrage ranks took
place yesterday at the morning ses-
sion of the International Suffrage al
lance and as result of the break a
body of delegates left the hall.
The trouble developed in the course
of the discussion of the constitution of
the organization. Some of the socie-
ties desired to enlarge the member
ship, but, under the leadership of Rev.
Anna Howard Shaw, one of the Amer
lean delegates, the conference voted
to reserve membership in the alliance
to societies having the enfranchise-
ment of women as their sole object.
Miss Shaw made vigorous speech
opposing the inclusion of organiza.
tons having Interior objects, and said
the fatal effects of this course had
been seen in America.
The decision of the conference
brought out storm of protest from
the adult suffragist societies, whose
delegates left in body.

health was run down. At last he pro-
cured Doan's Kidney Pills at the MILF

What Makes a Late Spring.

1t is too early to talk about late
spring until the time comes for corn

it will be late spring. But if it should
happen that corn was peeping through
the ground by the first day of June in

spring, no matter when the small grain
is seeded.
Everything in the corn belt is meas
ured by corn. Iowa might lose great
deal by late seeding, but if the corn is
planted early and gets a good start
everything else is forgotten. Oats and
wheat, that once ruled the seasons,
have been relegated to the rear. They
