OKOLONA BOYS CORN CLUB

The Okolona Boys Corn Club was
organized here last Saturday under
the auspices of Southern Railway
Company's Demonstration Work, and
promises to be a success. This is a
separate organization from the county
and state clubs, but all boys who
enlist in this club will be made
members of the clubs in their
respective counties, and can compete
for the county and state prizes just the
same as the other members. The
advantages to be derived from being a
member of this club lies IN the fact
there are comptitions for prizes,
offered by local people, which are
not open to those who live without the
trade territory Of Okolona. In this
club a county line is no barrier. II
this city is your trading point you are
eligible TO Join, provided only you
are eligible to join the county club in
your own county. Among other
prizes to be comp eted for will be a
trip TO Washington.

When Women
Vote for President

Wen be voting for President ourselves
next time"
This idea flashed through the minds or
thousands of New York women when they
heard about the suffrage referendum in
1915 and it may account for much Of the
interest manifested by women in the pres
ent campaign At the big Wilson and
Roosevelt rallies last week at least one
third OF the audiences were women. They
we're out 10 see what real politics was,
because they felt sure they would be
taking a real part in the campaign Of
1916 and they wanted to know how the
superior male minds went about the
task.
But what II the women really do y".e
for the next President? Aside from the
effect on Individual homes, prospect 40
full of complications that no suffra2ist
has presumed to describe 1t, tho effect on
society as "a whole may not be so tre-
mendous-at first. All the crafty schemes
Of the superior male minds will not be
upset because the women all cast their
votes for the handsomest man, or for the
best man, either. The cartoonist and the
dreamer are both wrong.

general result very much at first, says

Mrs. Harriet Stanton Batch. who n
called the keenest politician among thu
suffragists and therefore ought to know
Every new class has to learn to vote.
The women will not be so steady on their
political feet at first, perhaps, and results
will come slowly. In time, however, We
shall find the emphasis In politics being
placed on the things In which women are
most nterested-schools. orphanages, Gu.
genics, streets, housing, child labor and
women in industry.
Political Union, an organization which
has the whole state mapped out In differ.
ent colored sections. assigned systewsil.
cally to trained organizers. The womsa
Suffrage party and the New York St&te
Woman Suffrage Association have a.
liar plan OF action. The state has been
divided by the state association into dis.
tricts in the same way that mems polili.
cal parties divide It. The campaign for
woman suffrage will be carried on In these
districts just as thoroughly as the cam.
paigns for Republican and Democratic
legislators are in a critical year.

said that the votes for suffrage were al

experience I had. for II Il typical even In
towns where there had never been q SUI.

friendly feeling.
We'll this Is the story: When | ar

newspaper Office. as l always do.
NO., said the editor. there isn't any
interest in suffrage here; but tell yoa
what. There's, that Miss Jones She's
very bright girl. Maybe she believes In
IL. and-say. Bill, what do you think Of
Caroline Smith? She's pretty smart
Don't you believe she'd be interested?
Pill thought she would, and between
| the editor and the reporter cutie nice
! little list Of the bright women OF the
! town was made out for me. Then.I re-
| marked that 1 was glad 10 notice they
picked out the bright women for yuf.
fragis,s That tickled them, and they
gave roe a nice advance notice.
II took their list and started out At
the first house visited, the home OF the
brightest woman, evidently, | found no
one AZ home. So said TO myself: III
pretend I made Q mistake and III try
next door,
"As | rang the bell Of tire next house
/. heard gay voices and 7 knew ! was
butting In on dinner party. Inc more
the better said. When the maid came
TO the door | asked II she could tell me
whether any one IN that house was

ton ~ be hurled at a dinner party that
,ba maid didn't know, but would ask the
mistress which was just what | wanted.
So the mistress came to the door and
engaged her in suffrage conversation
The end of il was that she invited me

into suffrage meeting then ana there,
