Suffrage Notes

Probably the most important
event of the week from the suf-
fraeist viewpoint was the tour of
seven Kansas Colleges by Mrs.
Maude Wood Park, of Boston,
Mass. Mrs. Park was sent out to
Kansas by the National College
Equal Suffrage League for one
week. She spoke at the morning
chapel exercises or before special
meetings of students at the Uni
versity of Kansas, Washburn Col
lege, Kansas Agricultural College,
Friends, Paramount and Emporia
Colleges and Kansas State Normal.
Everywhere she was received with
enthusiasm and her influence will
be felt for a long time. AS a re-
suit of her work four new College
Leagues will be formed within the
month, The Kansas State Normal
students have organized a College
Amendment League which will
work for Equal Suffrage this year.
There we're oyer seventy charter
members.
At Manhattan was held the fifth
district Equal Suffrage Convention
AT a luncheon in connection with
this convention we're present over
200 women, representing every
county of the district. In addition
to these there was one table OF
men, especially invited as repre-
sentatives of the business, educa-
tiOnal and press interests of the
district. President Waters of the
Kansas Agricultural College was
at the table. Every man at the
table spoke and endorsed Equal
Suffrage, pledging his support to
the amendment. Between courses
of the luncheon the State Officers
and guests of honor responded to
toasts. The financial needs of the
campaign we're set forth by DR..
Alberta L. Corbin and the respon-
ses were ready and generous. In
the evening lecture was held il
the auditorium of the church. DIR.

principal speaker and gave a most
logical and convincing address.

Lets Do 1t Here

Through the influence of a live
commercial club in Cedar Falls.
Iowa, the people living in and
around that city resolved to stand
by their own people and thus build
up the country. AS an initiative
move, all the mail order catalogues
were piled up in the streets and
while the band was playing and a
vast crowd cheered the torch was
applied and they were consumed
by fire.

Reasons For Staying On The
Farm

The following reasons for stay
ing on the farm are presented in
the current issue of Farm and
Fireside:
1T is the safest real-estate in
vestment.
1T is the best place to avoid
doctor bills.
There is no place like it for
bringing up family.
1T affords the greatest oppor-
tunity to cultivate the bump of OPP
timism.
1T is the foundation of all nat
ional prosperity.
1T produces the eatables and
wesrables for the nations people,
1T offers the best chance to live
in peace with God and man, than
which nothing better can be desir-
ed.
1T is easier to leave the farm
than it is TO get back to it after
you are once in the city working
as carpenter, brlcklsyer, car.man,
bookkeeper or clerk to meet your
