Almost a million women in the
United States are either farmers or
farm laborers. Thanks to the popular
ity Of the homestead in the west and
to belated appreciation Of agricul-
ture az a field for woman's industry.
this number is rapidly increasing.
The United States, however, has not
gone so far in this respect as Eng
land. There. In the dairy sections,
women have only the butter making,
but the milking and feeding. In
France nearly 100000 women are en-
gagged In farm work. while In most Of
the countries Of continental Europe the
inner breeds of cattle are mainly the
result Of woman's efforts.

INDIANS CAST FIRST
VOTE AT AN ELECTION

Wakpala, s. D., June 14.-Tuesday
was the first time the Indians on the
Standing Rock reservation have had
the right to vote. They turned out in
large numbers. in spite of rain and
mud, to cast their ballots, taking really
more interest than their white neigh
bors.
They had candidate of their own
nationality for sheriff and nominated
him by a to / majority against his
white opponent.
They rolled up great vote for Con-
gresham Burke, who has been the
means of passing SO much Indian legis-
lation. They took little interest in 9TH
er candidates, although many voted
for Governor Wesley, but every Indian
voter was particular to cast his ballot
for Burke and their own man for
sheriff.
There were very few spoiled ballots,
which goes to show that the red man
will have to be counted as a factor in
coming elections west Of the Missouri
river In South Dakota.

luton. heartily endorsed Mr.. Wat
kins words. and added that this was
not the only instance of having
things sprung in Congress without
giving local business people, whom
they affected. a chance to express
themselves.

uno nimous vote of the nineteen pres
ent. 1t reads as follows:
Resolved, That the Merchants

lions of the Territory OF Hawaii is
best attained by a thorough public
