 They had struggled with the police and rowdies in Trafalgar Square, en- dured a weary program in the Aldlwych Rink, prowled around the streets and otherwise dragged out the long night, only to have the most of them count ed anyway by an army of enumerators that camped on their trails
 Thousands of suffragettes who re- mained in their homes are planning to resist fines for failing to fill in the census blanks on the ground that they did not sleep during the night, where as the law requires that .all sleeping in London Sunday night should be counted'' Similar demonstrations were made in Birmingham, Edinburgh and other cities.

WHAT THE DRY FAR
MER NEEDS TO SUCCEED

Colorado Springs, Colo,- 1t is all
very we'll for scientists to study and
delve and dig for the ultimate saliva
tion of the farmer in the dry-land belt,
but first tell him, and do it quickly,
what to grow that will bring in money
This, in effect, was the common-sense
principle voiced at the international
Dry-Farming Congress by Prof. w. NJ.
Jardine of Kansas.
"The farmer isn't concerned about
fertility and nitrates and incubation,
and things like that" said Prof. lard
inc. "What he wants is living and be
~ants it now. We must help him to
get it. Show him how to do something
now; tell him how to feed his family,
first, and then he will be in position
to take up and study the more tech
nicsl problems of farm life"
Prof Jardine told the farmers to
raise potatoes, as one of surer means
of getting an immediate living on the
dry lands. For seed, he said in brief,
use selected tubers, hand-picked. II
not too large, plant single tubers
with only one or two eyes. If large, cut
in halves. Two eyes are better than six
in seed potatoes. Plant in rows three
feet apart, and two feet apart in the
rows, four inches deep. Subs oiling is
fairly satisfactory. Plant Early Petos-
key, Irish Cobbler and Early Ohio.
"These varieties do not give the larg
est yields, [ admit" said the speaker
"bnt they are the earliest, and, there
fore, the most advisable because the
farmer may need the money"
"Only three crops on the dry lands
are making money" Prof. Jardind de-
clared: "Wheat, milo and fax. Why
not add potatoes to the list and in
creases the inoome?"

A Popular Book

1t is with a good deal Of ir terest that
we hear that a new edition of Mrs
Summerhayes book relating to Arizona
has just been issued from the press.
Her story of the days under the
title of Vanished Al iona has proved
not only of int crest to Arizonians, but
it has been endorsed AS an important
contribution to literature and an origi-
nal historical document. Many Of the
most appreciative letters and reviews
the book has had have come from the
East.
Prof Vim. Lyon Phelps, professor of
of English literature at Yale Univercity
wrote her:
Dear Mrs Summerhayes:
have read every word of your
book with intence interest You have
given vivid account of what you act
ually saw and lived through, and no.
body can resist the truthfulness and
reality of your narrative. The book is a
real contrib bu ion to American litera-
ture.
The widespread circulation of this
book as is dinicated by this second edi-
ton. will inevitably attract great deal
of attention to this State, on the part
of tourists and others Her rare gift of
making the reader see the things she
writes about, will stimulate desire on
the part of many to come to Arizona.

hayes was the wife of an Army officer,
stationed at diffrent Army posts in Ar,

the free dances are thing of the
past, and the various candidates

a majority for republicanism-
