The suggestion that cold weather

at.
1t is practically certain that the
original area to be paved will be
enlarged upon. Several property
owners have notified the city, Or
signed up with Mayor Parker, to
have the pavement extended by pay
ing cash assessments, thus insuring
the city funds for carrying on the
extra work.

sUFFRAG|sTs TO
SPEAK At FAIR
Plan To Wage Big Campaign Among
Farmers-To Establish Down
Town Headquarters.

Womans suffrage is going to be
drummed into the ears Of the farmers
and other patrons OF the Michigan
State Fair In way to make them
sit up and take notice. Plans Tor the
furtherance tho movement IN this
manner are now under way and VIII
be discussed In the regular meeting
of the Detroit Equal Suffrage club in
the Twentieth Century building, Fri
day afternoon.
The club plans to have q large tent,
well filled with chairs, on the fair
grounds, and a suffrage speaker OF
some prominence and ability will be
on hand to deliver addresses on the
cause of suffrage for women. Litera-
ture pertaining to the movement will
also be distributed promiscuously. BY
this plan, the members of the club ex-
pect to reach many people who are
now unaware OF what woman's sur
frage really means and aims to ac-
complish.
Another move the club expects TO
make Is the establishment OF head
quarters In the downtown district,
with a suffrage library and tea room
attached. The members feel press
ing need of such quarters, believing
that much better progress could be
made with a central meeting place.
The officers of the club are filled
with enthusiasm at the present time
and they hope to make good show
ing this year The club now numbers
less than 800 members, but the OFF,
GERS hope to have 1000 before the
year Is out. They are not discour-
aged, although somewhat disappoint-
ed, over the refusal of Park Commits
sioner Hurlbut to allow them to have
suffrage addresses on Belle Isle In
connection with picnics. They viii
take the matter up with the mayor
when he returns.

Mrs. Wells Is suffragette, Stand.
pat Republican. and has not only
voted, but has filed the office of cleo
ton clerk In her voting precinct for
q number Of years.
AS a matter Of right Mrs. Wells has
the privileges OF the senate chamber,
but time-worn tradition says that no
woman can put foot In Its sacred pre-
cincts when the senate Is In session,
so Mrs. Wells takes post just outside
the big swinging doors. and her sug-
gestions promptly reach Senator War

Mrs. Wells is a loyal WesteFner, n
great lover Of outdoor life. She spends
