FEMALE WITHOUT
BRAINS OR HANDS
Definition of Lady as Announced by
Club Woman, Is Sure Novel
One.

CHICAGO, March 15.--''I am not a
lady announced Mrs. Jessie Stubbs
before the members of the Austin
Womens Club, in speaking on THE
Modern Women
Nothing makes me SO angry as to
be called lady" or to be told am
ladylike. 1t is not a compliment.
The definition of lady to my mind,
is female who has neither brains
nor hands to work with. | am thank
ful en- woman and can think and
act intelligently.
1T is true that e--er- one receives
with a feeling of regret the news
that a girl has been born, because
it is natural for people to rejoice
when boy comes into the world.
The boy will have a voice in the gov
ernment and the girl will not. That
is the first thought that comes to us.
but when the modern woman is called
upon to be itizen of the state, this
will change and it will not matter
whether boy or girl is born"

BIG WRITE-UP
 FOR PINE BLUFF
St. Louis Times Has Rig "BOOst. for This City and Section and Lauds the Jefferson County Land
 Congress Delegation.

The St. Louis Times of Wednesday contained page advertisement for Pine Bluff and Jefferson county, which was given that journal recent ly by the delegates to the Arkansas Land Congress. The ad. will do much good for this section, as it re- views the many advantages offered investors here. Among other things the Times says:
 Pine Bluff a Gateway.
 Pine Bluff is the metropolis of South-Central and Southeastern Ar kansas, the home of King Cotton. It is the gateway to the rich alluvial delta lands in the Southwest. The Pine Bluff delegation at the congress was most representative one of 100 men. It preached the advantages of drainage of swamp and marshy lands.
 Pine Bluff, with it's 22,000 popula- tion was made possible by the reclam- nation of the richest of lands through the skill of engineers It is the most advanced of the whole State in the study and practice of drainage facil- ities.
 Hundreds of miles of ditches have been installed and hundreds of miles are now projected. When these sys- tems are completed within the next two years, there will not be foot of marshy land in the whole county of which Pine Bluff is the seat.
 It is in this section that fortunes are being made by those investors, who buy hundreds and thousands of acres at nominal prices, which leap to SD and S100 per acre, as they are reclaimed. The Pine Bluff eap- italists have learned how to do this reclamation work at the lowest possi- ble cost and are pushing a bill be- fore Congress to secure the cooper ation of the Government in this con- servation of resources.
 The lands throughout Jefferson, Lincoln, Desha and Chicot counties are known as valley lands. Crop failures there practically are un- known Lands where the choice tim- Der has been removed. but on which there is much remaining suitable for in BIO to SIP per acre. It can be acquired ' 0n easy terms and oftimes by work 1 ng the timber enough is realized to | pay for the cost of the land.
