TO BE Modified

Oct. 81 and Nov. / there will be
modified in New York harbor for
inspection and review the most pow
erful aggregation of fighting ships
ever assembled under the American
flag. Rear Admiral Osterhaus will
have under his immediate command
1o2 Warships, from dreadnaughts 10
tiny submarines. AT the same time
the entire strength of the Pacific fleet
will be assembled under the command
of Rear Admiral Thomas at Los An
geles.
The purpose of this mobilization
almost unprecedented in American
naval history, twofold. Primarily it
is to show the preparedness of the
fleet; and the defects, if any, in per
sonel and material.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE GAINING

Instead of a defeat, as first announ.
ced, woman suffrage carried in Cali
fornia, the later returns from the
rural districts overcoming the lead
which the anti-suffragists had in the
cities. News reports of the election
state that in cities where the liquor
interests are strongest the anti-suf-
fragists were successful The result
of the election and the success of the
woman suffrage movement in the
great state of California is hailed
with delight by those favorable to
suffrage, who claim that the recent
victory is but an indication of great
successes to follow later.
There are now six states in the
Union where women have suffrage
under the same conditions granted to
men. The states are Wyoming, Col
orado. Utah. Idaho, Washington and
California. A year ago equal suf-
frage was voted upon in Oregon,
South Dakota, New Mexico, Okla
homa, Arizona and Washington, but
was rejected by all those except
Washington. it is safe to say that
another attempt to secure equal suf-
frage in those states will be made at
the next election, and in view Of
what happened in California there
seems to be fairly good chance tha5f
the result will be different in the
next attempt. AT least the suffra.
gists have renewed hope and greater
courage to go into the campaign.

AN ALFALFA RAISER

A remarkable alfalfa story is told
by Cannon Fisher which seems in
creditable, but is nevertheless true
Mr.. Fisher has lived in this country
for many years and is an alfalfa
raiser owning and operating an alfalfa
huller. He was in Smithwick yes
terday on his way home from French
creek, and stated that he had recent
Iy threshed out over 200 bushels oif
alfalfa seed for Alec Brewer of the
Flying V ranch
1t was volunteer alfalfa, grown in
unbroken gumbo soil which has never
seen a plow or seeder. This seems
hard to believe, but it is supposed
that the seed was deposited there
from other fields two years ago in a
flood, as it is on bottom land on
French creek,
| This year the alfalfa alfalfa made ,gaaa
growth and Mr.. Brewer let it 60 to
seed. Fisher says that he would have
got 400 bushels had it been stacked
and taken care of, for it was in very
bad shape owing to the recent rains.
A sample of this seed was sent to
chicago and an offer of s11 SO was
made.
Fisher says that many will doubt
his story, but these he advises to
write Alec Brewer, Fairburn, S. d.,
who is proud of his volunteer crop
