Cassius' only reply to this question
was a grunt as he rose to bring a pail
of water for the plants.
On his return he stood with rath-
er majestic poise over Miss Belinda's
kneeIing figure and said: "The polls

"Well, since the old town hall burn

land district school"
"Oh, that's where your daughter
teaches. Dear me, you must hate to
have Amanda In such dirty place so
much of the time"
Cassius did not deign to reply. He
gave Miss Belinda a scornful look and
continued his work in his customary
leisurely style. But at noon, having
announced that he could not come back
after dinner, because he had promised
his wife to try to catch fish for sup

THE "SUPERIOR" SEX
BY ERNEST WoLLETT.

Miss Belinda, at her summer home
was setting out bed of vegetables
with the help of the man she EN-.
ploys by the day when she can entice
him from his old fat-bottomed fishing
boat.
ut was real smart of you to raise
them there little plants in the city
and bring them out here" he said.
You'll have tomatoes and eggplant
before any one else. l don't see how
you ever come to think of them things
1t beats all how some women can
plan ahead more'n men folks. Now,

put in last fall before you went away
has turned out fine. amt it?"
I'm glad, Cassius, to hear you
speak highly of women's ability" said
Miss Belinda 81 think we women
will have to get you to work for us
this summer"
Amt workin' for you now?" ask
ed Cassius, mystified. Some O. them
fellers that go by. to the creamery
mornin's before you get down to the
garden run me bout workin' so much
for woman. But I always say that
| don't see why your money amt as
good as anybody's. And I will say
this, Miss Belinda. it's a sight surer
than some folks money"
Thank you, Cassius. "Tm happy to
know that you're satisfied and that you
believe in women. I hope you'll help
women get the ballot this fall
Get the ballot? How are the wom-
en- expectin' to get the ballot?" Cas-
sius laughed.
They're expecting to get it in this
state through the referendum" Miss
Belinda paused, but as Cassius did not
appear much enlightened she contin-
ued: "You see, the question of wom-
an suffrage is to be voted upon next
November in Wisconsin"
Il amt heard nothin' about It," Cas-
sius thrust a little Seeding into the
ground with masculine roughness that
ended its young life. What do wom-

Informed on all the present issues" de-
clared Miss Belinda, laughing.
well, l amt never been one to be-
lieve in women gettin' out o. their

Just what Is a woman's place, I'd
really like to know"
We'll, think woman's place is at

"Oh, then she doesn't stay in her
place all the time," Miss Belinda re-
marked sweetly.

Streets BUILT
FOR OK CARTS
SAID VISITOR
ATLANTANS ARE GIVEN JOLT
Pres. Mcfarland Tells Of the
City's Needs

Atlanta, Ga, Oct 2S.-Atlanta was
rudely shocked when ]. Horace Nc
Farland, president of the American
Civic Association came here and told
Atlantans that their city was built for
OK carts fifty years ago and had not
been improved upon since.
Mr. Mcfarland was brought here by
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and
certain civic societies to tell what is
the matter and how to remedy things.
And in doing it, MIR. Mcfarland did
not mince words.
His characterization of the city and
the manner of it's building and the
conduct of it was not calculated to
feed the fame of the well developed
Atlanta pride.
Mr.. Mcfarland took look over At
lanta and then proceeded to point out
it's faults. He reversed the usual pro-
cess; the custom has been for visitors
when interviewed to paint in glowing
terms Atlantas beauty and greatness.
But Mr.. Mcfarland took the other
tack.
Your streets are badly laid out"
l. xr,bo l. oiN dc 10 ~,
out anew Your traffic is badly con-
gested. Your public buildings are not
properly grouped in order to get good
results There is lack of careful SUI
pervis'on in the management of your
street system. Atlanta's smoke is
worse than that of Pittsburg. You are
wasting money in ornamental lighting.
In some places you have too many arc
lights; in others not enough. Your
poorer classes are badly housed. In
other words At anita is wrong from be-
ginning to end"
1t takes a good deal of nerve to tell
an Atlanta audience things like that
and strangely enough Mr.. Mcfarland
was invited and his expenses paid to
come here and tell them just what he
thought about it.
1t is to mark the beginning of cru
SADIE which the Chamber of Commerce
has undertaken in behalf of the city
useful and the city beautiful.
1t is said it will cost a couple of
millions, poss bly, more, to do all the
things Mr. Mcfarland says should be
l-ne The question is where is the
money coming from?

NUTS PLENTIFUL
And PRICES ARE
MUCH Lower
HARVESTING OF PECAN CROP
Abundant Yield and Prices
More Reasonable

Americas pecan growers-even those
with ornamental trees upon their
premises, VIII begin this week the
harvesting of perhaps the largest crop
of nuts ever produced here. The light
frosts of the past few days has served
TO open the shells, and the nuts, large
sound and luscious, are now dropping
from the trees.
Not only is the crop unusually large
but the nuts are we'll filled out and
'meaty." The larger growers, those
with extensive orchards, expect rich
returns from the sale of the crop of
peeans this fall.
The big crop of pecans insures
somewhat lower prices, and the same
is true of other varieties of nuts.
Just now Americas dealers are p'ac-
ing orders for delivery several weeks
hence when shipments will be arriv-
ing.
English walnuts which are imported
will not be in until later on, but wa
nut lovers will find plentiful supply
awaiting them at the fruit stores and
groceries because large lots are COM
ing in from California. There will be
variety in plenty of all kinds of nuts
to keep the rasins from being lone
some on the Thanksgiving dinner ia

Turkey day and Christmas will not
be the on'y days of large demand.
With prices low they offer chance 10

PARTIES MUST SUPPLY
THEIR OWN BALLOTS

Atlanta, Oct. 28.-The political par
ties interested in the election of Nov.

state makes no provision for furnish

formation which Secretary of State
Philip Cook has sent to large num-
Der of county officials over the state
who have written to him for bal OTIS.
In some counties no one seems to
take any interest in furnishing the
ballots and no votes are cast. Such
was the case n Union and Towns
counties in the state election of Oct
?. no election being held in either

WOMEN To HUNT TREASURE.
Hope to Unearth Pirate Hoard o
South Pacific Island.

Bondon.-The Evening News
vouches for the authenticity of the
story hat two women. both well
known in London society, will leave
England next month to search for
hidden treasure on an island in the
southern Pacific. They have charter
ed a 20O-ton yacht from a well-known
yachtsman, who will probably partici-
pate in the search.
The treasure is said to amount to
millions and was buried by pirates.
Records of the expedition will, it
Is added, be filed in the British Mu-
scum. The two women visited the is
land last year and spent five weeks
there, accompanied by a representa-
tive of the government, 10 which the
island belongs. The Investigations
that followed were satisfactory and
the two principals returned to the
mainland and obtained an interview
with the president Of the country
which owns the treasure island" He
granted a concession and leave to re-
move any treasure found.
BY the terms of the agreement the
government claims one-third of the
treasure. The agreement was duly
witnessed by a British representative
in the country in question.
