Feminist ard SuHraeist.
fBoston Globe. J

C.
Though every enc knows what a suf-
fragist is, the words feminist and
"feminism have come into general use
so recently that their exact Specification
has hardly been fixed. In her address
the other evening in Boston Mrs Alice
Hubbard used the word ''feminism" in
its proper sense. as meaning the unfold.
ing of the instinct of preservation which
compels women to conform to altered
conditions
Feminism is neither fer1,ininity nor
feminineness, nor efeminacy but a
world wide aspiration for economic
and social freedom, justice, equality
One of its aspects is the woman suffrage
movement Another of it's aspects-para.
doxical as it may SCENTS the anti.
woman suffrage movement which serves
as a necessary check or balance wheel
All woman suffragists are feminists
but all feminists are not necessarily wo-
man suffragists. To some feminists. like
Miss Ida Iarbell. for instance, the ballot
does not seem necessary. ~ even de-
sirahle. while to Mrs. Panshurst IL is
the one thing needlul.
The effort in some quarters 10 attach
stigma to the word ''feminism," de-
win does as "a most revolutionary and
dangerous movement" is quite futile. AS
long as women have to earn their living
outside the home, and under conditions
of inequality with man, feminism Will
persist, and both the word and the thing
itself will be respectable.

How rapidly the south is surpass-
ing the west in the production Of
lumber is shown by the latest figures,
just issued for the United States.
While Washington, with produc-
ton of 4,099, TIA, 900 feet in 1911, still
holds first place in the country, the
increase for that state was only 49,
100000 feet over the total for the pre-
ceding year. On the other hand,
Louisiana, which was close behind
last year, with a total output of S,S76,-
211,0oo feet, showed an increase of
100000 900 feet, while Mississippi,
which was third, with a production of
1881, $4,000 feet. gained 340,oo0,0 900
feet over the previous year.
In 1911 Oregon was in third place,
Carolina. Texas went up from eighth
place in 1911 to sixth place last year.
Arkansas dropped from sixth TO
seventh place Virginia went up
from twelfth to eighth. Wisconsin
dropped from seventh N ninth.
Michigan held tenth position, and Min
nesota tell from ninth to eleventh
place.
The figures show that the southern
states and the Pacific coast states are
the leading producing sections. Both
showed an increase of output over the
previous year, but the increase in the
south was greater. The census for
1900 gave the southern states 1871 per
cent. of the total output of the coun-
try. In 1907 this had increased to
4ss ner cent and last year It vas 51.4

Il see the Belfast Journal claims a
better cat story than mine said Capt
E. \ Emery, calling at the Rockland
Courier Gazette office, Wednesday,
but I'm not yet going TO take a back
seat" Readers will recall the papers
recent story of a cat belonging to the
Emery family of Owls Head which
distinguished itself by bringing home
from a hunting expedition in the
woods full grown partridge-which
the family ate for dinner. The Bel
fast Journal, noting the exploit, came
forward with a Northport avenue cat
that not only several times had
brought home partridges. but on one
occasion startled the family by lug
had captured upon one of her hunting
trips. This information naturally
stimulated our Owls Head cat to re-
newed endeavors. Wednesday morn
ing she came into the house proudly
bearing the latest capture, a beautiful
weasel. Knowing what we do about
the weasel" said Capt. Emery, Il
claim that the cat can catch one of
those willy animals is entitled to the
belt for smartness." The captain laid
the dead weasel on the editorial desk
"a handsome little animal, perfectly
white in fur with the exception Of the
black tip on its tail. ANY cat that
can equal the performance is en-
titled to come forward and let the
fact be known. The weasel has been
sent away to be mounted.

The Lewiston board of aldermen
and mayor are seriously considering
the browntail moth situation in that
section of the State. A committee of
three has been appointed to confer
with an experi concerning The utility
Of traps for the pest. The following
letter from the city forester would
seem to answer the question:
Mr.. E. H. Kimball, Lewiston, Me.
Dear Sir: AS to the results OBJ
tanned by the use of the moth traps
furnished by you and used by the
City of Auburn during the last fight
of the brown-tail moths, | will say
that since the leaves have fallen
have inspected many of the locations
where traps were used and also
where they could not be used and
find great difference in the number
OF nests on the trees.
Some trees near lights where traps
were used, that had many nests last
winter, show hardly nest this fall.
Other trees, also near lights, but
where traps could not be used, have
great many nests this year. This
shows conclusively what the trap
method will do.
With proper attention, I believe
the use of the moth traps would
nearly clean the city trees of the
brown tail moths, and I shall rec
ommend them TO anyone
Yours very truly,
(Signed) c. s. Whitaker
