Woman Suffrage

Men should be ashamed to lay any
prohibitions upon wife, mother or
sister that they are not willing to Ell
dure themselves. One by one the dis
examinations against women have
been swepJ away and South Dakota
voters have the opportunity in No.
vember Of erasing from the constitu-
ton Of our state the last prohibition
''Thou shalt not vote.'
Those who now enjoy the
benefits of education and the oppOr-
tunity to work at a profession or
trade, but who oppose h extension
of civil rights to women must not
imagine that the educational and in
dustrial rights they now possess came
without a struggle. DR.. Emily
Blackwell says, mo one who was not
alive sixty years ago can realize the
iron wall that hemmed in on every
side the young woman who wished to
do anything outside of the narrowest
conventional groove. Such a woman
was completely crushed. Those who
we're Of a character not to be crushed
without resistance, had to fight for
their lives and their fight broke the
way through for the others to follow
No human advancement was ever
made without opposition and m is
understanding.
Sometimes women are told not tC
NEEDLE with politics. But politics
NEEDLES with every department OF
the home. The food upon the table,
the price of the commodities used In
the home, the education Of the chill
dren, disposition of family property
the regulation of marriage and di
vorce--in fact the destiny Of the
whole family life seems to be affected
by the government. To tell womer
that politics is too corrupt for them
to touch is the veriest nonsense. II
politics is grimy it is the business o.
clean minded men and women tt
enter its domain and apply the scrut
brush. The homes are menaced wher
politics is corrupt.
If woman suffrage is wrong it ought
not to be granted v if the womer
want it. If it is right men ought tt
vote for it even If they believe the
women to be Indifferent.

SEED.

Probably no other crop is influenced
more by selection than the potato.
Many growers have found that a va
riety which will produce good returns
on me field may fail on an adjoining
area. For this reason it is quite
necessary for every grower to select
his seed. The method is simple, and
can be carried on by any farmer, who
Is careful with his work and in every
case he will be rewarded with better
yields.
Go out into the potato field and
select your seed potatoes before you
begin to dig the entire field. Select
a plant that looks thrifty and vigor-
quite a large number Of potatoes. If
you select a plant according to the
above description, dig it up and see
how many potatoes you have. If
this plant has three or four small po-
tatoes and n very large one, do not
save the potatoes from this plant at
all. Why? Because this plant has
the power only to produce three or
four small potatoes and n large one.
So if we plant either the small po-
tatoes or the large one of this plant
our result in next years crop will be
the same, viz, three or four small po-
tatoes and one large potato.
However, if you select a plant OF
the above description and find three
large potatoes and two small ones do
not save this plant for the above
reasons, viz, that it can only produce
three large potatoes and two small
ones.
Select a plant Of the above descrip.
tion which bears foul or five nice,
medium sized potatoes. Why? Be-
cause this plant "a produce the
above number of potatoes, and this
size potatoes are the best to sell on
the market and also the ones that
cook the best. Remember that like
produces like"
So II we will go out into our potato
patch this fall before we begin to dig:
and select the seed potatoes In the
manner described, We. cannot help but
have an increased yield for next years
crop.
In making the study Of the potato
plant, keep the following facts In
mind:

THE WISCONSIN M

WlscOnsin's crushing blow to ma

a valuable lesson. 1t strengthens con-

pot statesmen to call in their agents,
lock up and go home.

there is no element or factor tending

overwhelmingly independent and pro-

II IRISH POTATO IS A VALUABLE
CROP

II IRISH POTATO is A VALUABLE
At the present time South Dakota
is not listed as u potato growing
that we can not grow the crop with
profit. While the average price for
potatoes for a series of years has been
only fifty cents, the value Of the crop
per acre is greater than that of any
of the cereals. Aside from its none
tary value, the potato is a very valu-
able crop to include in rotation where
small grains are to be grown. There
is no reason why this state should not
rank we'll with other states in potato
production when her climate and soils
are of the first class for the culture of
this crop.
CLIMATE.
The potato does we'll in a cold,
moist climate. The average yield per
| acre is greater in the Northern States
than in the South; and greater in
| Canada than in the United States.
| The crop holds an important place
in the general system of farming In
many of the Northern States in point
| of cash returns per acre. 1t not only
thrives best in cool climates of these
states but at the same time it is very
productive where the climate almost
forbids the culture Of corn.
SOIL.
The soil considered best is a deep,
mellow, free working loan, grading
either a sandy loan or a clay loan.
If properly drained potatoes a be
grown on heavier types Of soil.
The following are some OF the
reasons for selecting the lighter soils
for potato growing:
l.. Such soils can be worked very
early in the spring.
2. The light soils become warm
early in the season and the germina
ton of the tubers proceeds more
rapidly.
3. They a be placed in good tilti
more easily than heavy soils and with
less labor.
4. Potatoes grown in these type:
usually come out bright and clear
and more uniform in size.
5. The quality of the potato il
J better.

We are won't to think Of London as
a city where miserable millions are
crowded into uncOutn and unsanitary
quarters, but London's greatest dens-
ity of population is less than six
hundred to the acre, while in New
York there are blocks and blocks
where the density is one thousand to
fifteen hundred human beings in that
space. In Chicago the population Of
the Polish quarter, according to
Robert Hunters report, Is three
times that of the most crowded por-
tions of Toxic, Calcutta, n other
Asiatic cities, and yet the density
rarely reaches five hundred to the
acre, or only one-third to One-half
that of New York'S packed-in popu-
lation.
Both New York and Chicago have
far worse tenement house conditions
than London, the worst congested
city in Europe. While each of these
American cities still permits the
building of the double-decker, which
in New York is more often the SEX

thirteen hundred people to the acre,

SAYS CITY HAS NO POWER
TO PAY DEPARTMENT MONEY

City Attorney Collins last night pre-
scented to the council a lengthy re-
port on the petition of the American
Lumber company fire department for
its portion of the money paid to the
city from the territorial insurance
fund, amounting to $2,250, and of
which the lumber company fire de-
partment holds $500, belongs to that
department.
Alderman Hanley, chairman of the
fire committee, reported a week ago
recommending that the money be
paid to the lumber company fire de-
partment, but suggesting that the
opinion of the city attorney be had be-
fore making the payment.
The city attorney in his report last
night, reported that the city had no
power to pay over the money to the
fire department and on motion of A
derman Neustadt, the report was
adopted. The city attorney sought in
his report to divide the blame for the
failure of the department to get the
money between the legislature, on IT,
one hand, and the members OF the fire
department, on the other. He stated
that the council had no authority TO
correct the mistakes of the legislature
and that the only remedy the fire de-
partment had was to so into court by
mandamus against the territorial
treasurer. lie Sttltu llltI ne Uiu ft-
peatedly asked the of the
fire company to place the matter in
his hands and had gon TO consider
able expense in preparing papers. etc,
but that thus far he still had the
papers the lumber company men nav
ing done nothing to move the matter
along. The report follows:
