LEADER
GOES TO CHICAGO
She Expects Fruits From
Her Labors Among Earl :
ham Young Women.

Miss Martha Gruening, secretary of
the National college Equal Suffrage
league, left for Chicago last night
where she will work among the women
Of the Chicago university. Miss Grue-
ming did not succeed in effecting an or
ganization for equal suffrage in the To-
cal college. but it is said she did some
good personal work for the cause and
made several converts among the Earl
ham girls. Before her departure last
night Miss Gruening said that her
failure to form local organization in
behalf of woman's suffrage did not
disappoint her in the least. as she
knew there was a definite feeling in
favor of the cause which must soon
manifest itself. She stated that there
are fifty colleges in the United States
in which women have branch organiza-
tions of the National College Equal
Suffrage league. and that in every case
these organizations were the result of
voluntary efforts on the part of the
college girls themselves. but. she said
"Earlham girls have the proper spir-
1t, and look for great things from
them"
When told that Richmond did not
have an organization devoted to WON.
ans suffrage. Miss Greuening seemed
much surprised. She said there were
but few cities in the country with over
did not possess some kind Of an
equal suffrage organization. THE
women of Richmond ought to consid-
er this matter seriously" said Miss
Gruening. land / would suggest that
they take the matter up with the In
diana state branch of the National
Woman's Suffrage association, of
which Anna Howard Shaw is the pres
ident. believe this question is of
the utmost importance and that it will
effect the welfare of every city and
community in the country in the near
future"
Chicago university, to which Miss
Gruening IL now going, already has a
strong organization which is at work
with the large city societies and they
will start campaign there to cover a
still broader field.

COPS ON A PORCH
TAG THE SPEtOtRS
But Their Presence Brought
Great Fear to Heart of
the Householder.

Residents in the neighborhpod of
South Fourteenth and A streets peer
ed from their windows. doors and
verandas yesterday afternoon at the
home of Will Seeker, located on the
corner, smiled as If enjoying them
selves immensely and chuckled hearth

being subjected to soon became no.
ticeable to the Seeker family, inside
the house. and they felt uneasy, be-
lieving something was wrong.
On the Seeker porch, the object Of
the gazes of the curious. smiling, and
chuckling neighbors. lounged Henry
Westenberg and George Staubach,,
members of the Richmond police force
attired in plain clothes and seemingly
taking things easy.
Suddenly the telephone bell rang,
and Mr.. Seeker answered the call. He
was asked what he had done to have
his house surrounded by the police,
and was told the neighbors were all
watching eagerly to see him pulled. .
Seeker gasped at the information and
wanted to know what the joke was.
His informant replied that it was no
joke and that he would find it out if
he looked through his front window
Hesitatingly Mr.. Seeker drew aside
the blind. and the information he had
received was confirmed. For some
reason he did not burst forth upon the
policemen and demand an explanation
of their presence. Instead, Seeker re-
turned to the telephone, called 2211
and asked for Alex Gormon. chief of
police
You're trapperd, alright" seriously
replied the chief when Seeker timor.
ously asked why two policemen were
occupying his front porch. Come on,
now" persisted Mr.. Seeker, ..the
neighbors are kidding me about getting
pulled and / want to know what's up
When the big police chief thought
he had carried the joke far enough,
he pledged Mr.. Seeker to absolute
secrecy. telling him not to breathe a

that we're trying to land some OF

A sigh of relief and a. few abrupt
words followed. then Mr.. Seeker Gag.

Corn Belt Moves North : !

From the st. Paul (Minn.) Dispatch.
F. Farm statisticians report that corn
Will be one Of North Dakota's heaviest
crops this year. There are counties
in which practically every farmer will
raise from twenty to fifty acres. That
Is indeed an encouraging outlook. Elk
perience has demonstrated in the old
.er settled states that the farmer who
sends his crops to market on the
hoof makes more money than his
neighbor who sticks to grain growing,
There no longer is, any doubt Of North
Dakotans ability to raise corn. The
sort they raise is not such as is pro
:duced in Iowa or Illinois, but it makes
up in quality, and insures practically
the same profit to the North Dakota
stockmaa as is obtained by his South
ern neighbor. Minnesota particularly
is interested in the success Of the sis
ter commonwealth corn raising, ;be-
cause of the effect it is likely to have
on those in the northern part Of the
state. AND, furth ermore the, extend
ing Of the corn belt: into North Dakota
will be an object lesson to farmers
