SUFFRAGETTES NOTHING NEW
In Book Published 500 Years Ago
 Same Arguments Were Used


 Same Arguments Were Used
 In book called the ''City of Ladies" published just 800 years ago, the ground theory of the suffragettes, the equality of men and women, was put forward with the same vigor as to-day. The authoress, a certain Christine de Pisan, the daughter of savant, writes: "If it were only the practice to send young girls to school and teach them the sciences just as boys are taught they would learn as quickly and completely as they" And she claims the same treatment in respect to all matters of daily life.
 She paints the dependence and inex- perience of single women in moving terms and say that they mostly cover together, wailing and weeping, without any means of defence. like some poor dog which retires to a corner and lets all the rest spring over him." Christine de Pisan is particularly severe on the custom of many married men of not explaining their business and talking it over with their wives, and even goes so far as to demand that the latter should be so versed in their husbands occupation, whether those of officials, merchants or artisans. that they may be ready and able to represent them in their abence if necessary.
 Reasoning from such premises, the suffragette authoress of five hundred years ago concludes that every chat elaine or mistress of castle ought to understand all about the art of defence and offence. The whole tenor of the book is demand for the training of female youth to independence and the opening to them of new fields of activity.

THE CHANTECLER HAT
ITO be continued.

It is Not Likely to be Inflicted on the
 Public this Season.
 Little has as yet been seen of the Chan tecler hats which Rostand and Paris have threatened, yet it seems as if the danger were really great. A few speci- mems of cock and hen hats in Regent street window in London attracted the lady shoppers so greatly that the police had to interfere to regulate the traffic. Its own monstrosity might have been ex- pected to have been enough to preserve us from this fashion, but it has an even more potent enemy.
 The mysterious powers who, having settled what was going to be the coming season 8 models, in conjunction, it is to be supposed, with other powers, French and English, have spent large sums on illustrated trade catalogues and are mak- ing strenuous exertions to get the boy colt of the poultry yard hats./
 Their appeal is not aesthetic to the wearers or potential wearers of the hats, but 8 more commercial appeal to those who during the next few weeks will publish many pages of millinery adver- tisements. They have not. they plead, time to make up their huge catalogues all over again so as to include the Chan tecler fashions, and therefore if these organs made their readers demand them they will have to go without the adver- tisement already prepared.

SUIT AGAINST BORDENS
To be Brought by Chenango County,
 W. Y., Farmer

To be Brought by Chenango County,
 N. Y., Farmer
 A dispatch to the New York Sun says that conspiracy in restraint of trade i'll controlling the price of milk paid, to producers will be charged in an action to be brought against the Borden Condensed Milk Company by Attorney J. J. Bixby, of Norwich. The action will be brought in the name of a Chenango county farmer.
 The proposed suit will take up a diff ferent phase of the milk price question than the actions brought against the milk companies i'll New York city. Mr. Bixby claims that the prices paid to the farmers for their milk in Chenango county is entirely regulated by the price offered by the Bordens. No efforts are made to conceal this, it is alleged, and so-called independent houses make contracts months ahead with producers, based on the prices afterwards an nounced by the Bordens on their semi. annual contract days.
 The general custom is to contract for r1llk at three cents a hundred below tht. Borden price. This covers the expenst. to the farmer for taking his milk to |, Borden plant instead of delivering it to an independent plant nearer home. Tn, existence of a secret agreement betweeL all the companies as to tho price to b, paid the farmers for their milk is al- legged and will be one of the things investigated.
 It is asserted that the farmers are not getting an equitable dividend on tho amount of their investment in land, build ings, stock and equipment and that some of them are actually losing money by producing milk. Chenango county, ac, cording to the State Department O: Agriculture. has the most COWS per square mile of any county in the State.

HOTTEST CAME
 OF THE SEASON
CANAAN AND ToRRINGTON Y.M.C.A.
CIashed at Town Hall Last Saturday ght-Game Full of Roughness and
 Brilliant Plays Ended in Favor of Locals by a Score of 1913. -

There have been many good games of played at the town hall last Saturday evening between the Torrington Y. M. o. A. team and the Canaans was by all odds the fastest one of the lot.
 There was considerable disappoint- ment among the spectators because Kill martin of the Bassetts, who it was an- nounced would play center for the visit ors, was unable to appear. But if his engagement was made with the inten- tiou of roughing things up little, his absence was not felt, as the visitors were fully capable of keeping up their end at such tactics. Scott assumed the role of packhorse about a dozen times during the evening for the expreFs purpose of giving Chidsey ride, not willingly but with great deal of ability. The riding was done on Chidsey's part with the in- tentlon of preventing "Scotty" from making goals, but the trick worked both ways equally we'll .as in his elevated posi- tion Chidsey was not in the proper atti- tude for throwing many baskets himself
 Chidsey was not the only offender, as there was considerable rough playing by other members of both teams. Aside from this featuRe the game was worth going long distance to see. The teams were very evenly matched, and brilliant plays on both sides were the rule rather than the exception. Mcclure of the Canaan team particularly distinguished himself by making six goals from the floor, and thus scoring twelve of the nineteen points made by his team.
 At the end of the first half the score stood l1-5 in favor of Canaan. In the second half each side made eight points. which is an evidence of how closely matched the two teams were. ..-
 The line up was as follows:

The Airship in Egypt

The land of the Pharaohs has had it's first aviation meeting at the Heliopoplis Oasis, and its inauguration has been an overwhelming success. The spectators in the privileged enclosures numbered 10000 and without the desert was black Of the Khedivial harem witnessed the flights from a special curtained box and how every one became aviation mad has already been told in the cables. Of the impression on the natives of seeing the aeroplanes a correspondent writes: Their astonishment knew no bounds. Some, more superstitious than others, ran like hares every time the aeroplanes passed near them. They were terrified at the sight of what they considered must be ginns or directs (spirits), and yet they had to return to their seats, so great was the fascination. Others, when Rougier scared almost out of sight, made the native sign of the end of thing by drawing the palms of their hands across each other and cried out: 'Khalas Git is finished). He has gone to heavenr Some even saw nothing wonderful in it. Birds are able to fly they said. One old man, ever mindful of present circumstances, was heard to call out to his companions in his excitement: 'OuIoh yut lob min Allah yerakhasset tamen el ghalla.'

FARMERS AS SPECULAT0RS
If They Gamble They Have No Right to
 Complain of Others.

" | neN 1afnDle neY nave NO ntRnt to
 Complain of Others.
 A farmer who holds back his grain is acting strictly within his rights. es- pecially if he carries it with his own capital If he holds back his wheat financing 1t with money borrowed from the banks, he differs little from g. speculator who is long of wheat. He may say quite justly that he is entitled to hold. So he is; but in doing SO he has no right to claim from Congress and public opinion the special consideration which he has hitherto demanded and received, while dsnouneing speculation in Chicago and Liverpool.
 Probably in no direction have we developed more unsatisfactory sit- uation than in the entirely false halo we have thrown around the tiller of the soil. He is indispensable, but not more so than the mill or the railroad, without which his products would be valueless, He makes up the largest single interest in the country but his, sense of proportion neeus tTalnAhB' "o Wahe VI ohSouAasV him Tn vlew of our increasing industrial production, and the new mouths to feed. By all means let him get the practical experience which an actual margin position in the market gives. He will find out thereby the reason a market exists.
 The more we can bring the farmer in close touch with the distributor and cultivate his appreciation of common interest, the less are we likely to be troubled with cant about the injuries he suffers from speculation. He is specu- lator himself. but he cannot assume any special privilege because he is farmer also. Wall Street Journal.

An ice cream sociable is being
held in the park opposite the St.

and will be continued throughout

Some of the prominent ladies of

work and it is for a cause that no
one should fail to help, viz: for
the benefit of the st. Anthony
hospital.
The social was we'll attended
this afternoon and will doubtless
continue to draw large crowd this

evening should help attract people
in that direction.

ISOLATION to Bemidji. Mayor Park
er said that he would not present
the keys as Bemidji was always
open to friends and no keys WEIR

help themselves and take what
they wanted, not forgetting that
Bemidji is noted for pretty girls.
Thomas JoEnstone, treasurer of
the association and chief of the
Crookston department, responded
by saying that the "Crookston
sharks" were here to get all that
they could lay their hands on and
that if any pretty girls were missing
Friday, to look for them in Crooks
ton.
In the afternoon, everyone went
to the fair grounds where the days
races and sham battle were
scheduled. AS Company K had
extra equipment, twelve new men
were taken in to fill up the ranks.
On the field of battle, Second
Lieutenant Kelly was given the new
men and told to defend the city
against the enemy. The regulars
of the company composed the enemy
and were commanded by First
Lieutenant Hillary.
The fight was fast and furious for
a few minutes and then Captain
Otto stopped the advance and gave
the decision in favor of the defenders.
The enemy lost because they ad-
vanced in an upright position. After
the battle, the soldiers shot off their
extra ammunitiod.
Last evening, the band played a
short concert on the dock and then
