Woman Suffrage Call.

A call is extended to all men
and women of Louisiana who be-
lieve in the immortal principle of
self government, which princi-
pie is the corner stone of our
American form Of government,
to assemble in convention in New
Orleans, November 10-11, 1913.
Let US strive to make Louisiana
lead the southern States in &C
cording full suffrage rights to
her women, and let US try to
achieve through State action the
granting of the inevitable votes
for women" and not wait until
the force of public opinion makes
it mandatory through an amend
ment to the Constitution of the
United States.
In this great forward move
ment now so rapidly reaching
its goal, there is a sectional pride
awakened when it is learned that
the first voting privileges to
women as human beings and on
Democratic basis was accorded
by a southern State, Kentucky
in 1888, to widows with school
children" on school matters.
Let us therefore as Louisian-
ians and southerners assemble on
the dates herein mentioned, and
take steps to bring the south in
line in this movement which has
assumed world proportions, and
not lag behind all sections of the
United States, when the initial
movement was a southern one.
Let US strive to adopt as our
ideal as well as our slogan, the
words of that constructive states
man and southerner, Thomas JEFF
ferson, when he wrote, "A gov
eminent is not yet complete that
withholds from its most enlight-
ened women what it freely pives
to its most benighted men,"

Turpentine and Products from
Stumps.

Mr.. j. j. Connolly, of Laurel, Miss,
was in Colfax on Thursday. trying to
interest the people hereabouts in a
plant to utilize the pine stumps on our
cut over lands. He had sample case
full of the by-products made at the
plant at Laurel. Miss, and gave a
glowing account of how the folks over
that way made SS4 worth from pine
stumps at an outlay of less than $40
for expenses. He laid the matter be-
fore Capt. C. H. Teal, Cashier Earl
Roberts and other citizens, and we hope
they win find it an enterprise worth
taking in hand.

In England at One Time People Were
Hanged For Having Them.
People have not always been allowed
the pleasure of having as many names
as they wish. Indeed, 400 years ago
not even a middle name was allowed
In England 1t was illegal. The old
English law was definite and admitted
of no infraction of its ruling.
The only exception made to this iron
clad regulation was In the case Of per-
sons of royal rank. If they really
wished it they could boast a middle
name. but woe to the person of ordi-
nary rank who was sufficiently unwise
OF obstinate to insist on having more
than two appellations.
For the first offense be would very
likely be tied to a whipping post and
severely dashed. For a second offense
he would endure some more lasting
punishment. perhaps the removal of
his thumbs or his ears. And if he still
persisted In his stubborness be would
be hanged.
There is a case on record of a poor
man. in all probability half demented,
who insisted on signing four names
every time he wrote his signature to
any paper. OF course he passed through
all the legal stages of punishment unit

NEW PLAN OF COOPERATION
Farmers Laundry Is Formed by Peo-
pie Living In Neighborhood
Of Chatfield, Mimi

Chatfield. In Fillmore county. Mimi,
which claims to have been the first
place to organize cooperative
creamery association. now comes to
the front as the first to establish a CO.
operative farmers laundry. While It
is run in connection with the cream
ery-using the same power and hav-
ing for its manager the same man.
Mr.. c. ]. Manahan. who has run"
the creamery for more than twenty
years-it is owned by a separate or
ganization. capitalized at $4,000; Of
which $4,000 has been expended upon
a building and equipment
The extension division of the Min
nesota college of agriculture has for
several years advocated Just such al.
application of the cooperative idea.
and just such a connection Of the
laundry with the creamery. as has
now been effected at Chatfield. BY
these the farmers wife is relieved Of
a heavy weekly burden: and this at
a cost scarcely more than that Of
the fuel. soap and other materials
used in the family washing and iron
ing. This cost. at Chatfield. is esti-
mated at an average of only so cents
a week for each family With a hun
dred or more farmers cooperating.
the $4,000 capital. at five dollars a
share. is easily raised. The connec-
ton Of the laundry with the cream
cry enables the washing" to be car
.ried to and fro when the milk or
cream is delivered. thus avoiding any
additional trips.
Scarcely any cooperative undertake
ing can contribute more to the eman-
cipation of the householder from
drudgery than the cooperative laun.
dry. Such emancipation means more
time for society, more time for the
children. and general uplift in the
life of the farm. The example of Chat
field should be followed by every COM
munity in Minnesota.
