Women who believe in the extension
OF the right of suffrage to their sex are
frequently told that the ballot must be
backed up by bullets-that the inabil-
ity OF women to take part in great
military struggles should debar them
from any right to participate in the
government of their country. in time OF
peace. It does not need the regiments
Of women who fought in the Chinese
revolution to make the fallacy OF this
argument evident. The Civil War pho
toeraphs secured for readers OF this
newspaper show how helpful part
women can play in actual warfare, the
recently discovered pictures recall
more wildly than ever the vitality i'm

dered on both sides of the heroic strug-
gle.
It was not only the men who rushed
into danger for their country's sake.
Among these wartime photographs one
sees the features Of one woman after

Inominious death which awaited the

Incredibly daring. ihdefatigable.
never ceasing in their efforts to serve
their leaders even when in prison and
under sentence Of death, these women
are proved by the plain facts OF history

Of that or any time. Their adventures

TOMATO DEUCE THIS YEAR.
Everybody Eating Them In Iowa 5u'
Poor Pro perty to Sell.

FOof TFOP0tSy " SV''s
Waterloo, Aug. 2S.-Iowa promises to
be buried under a deluge Of tomatoes
this year. Never has the tomato crop
been so prolific. Eeverybodys eating
them; everybody's steming them;
everybody's picking tomatoes.
The reason for the tomato deluge IS
easv to understand. Last year TOM
toes were scarce. People got high
price for their vegetables and hundreds
of dollars were made from little to-
mato patches all over the state. The
result was inevitable. This year every
body planted tomatoes. Tomatoes are
so thick that punk actors are begging
passenger men to route them over lines
that do not go near tomato farms.
Tomatoes are bringing a fair price in
the market, but hundreds OF them will
have to 20 to waste because people
will have more than they want and
more than they can sell.
For some time boom in the price
of meat has been predicted. So far
nothing has happened. No local mar
ket has the temerity to shove up beef
pricese. AS a matter Of fact meats are
already so high that people are eating
more fish than ever before in the his
tory Of the city. IF the fish habit
grows it will settle high priced beef, ;"
said a dealer. Scores Of our beef
customers, who have been in the habit
Of buying roast or a fine steak for
Sunday, are buying fish and. believe
me, it IS not always the high priced
fish, either
Cheap in MarshaIItown.
The crop in the vicinity Of Marshall
town Is delight to the big canning
factory but not so great pleasure to
the growers as grocers are advertising
them at 80 cents per bushel at retail
and pay much less for them.

The water at this place rose four feet
