their own battles"
AT all OF the eight studios there are
daily arguments between the randl-
dates OF the three parties. One picture
has been spoiled by The leading lady
Of the Nestor company. who forgot her
business and launched forth into IL
heated suffrage argument with her
leading man while the frantic director
was trying to Him Il ball room scene.
Squaws Grow Militant - Threaten
Braves.
The women are threatening to resort
to methods OF sabotage as practiced in
London and Paris by militant pOliti-
calls. They promise to spoil thousands
of feet of film unless the men will treat
their movement with more dignity uLu

One squaw with a particularly stub

Charges q Graft Loudly Denied.
Having been nominated for mayor.
Lois Weber took an even more active
interest in the campaign. She deliv-
cred the ultimatum that the suffrage
ticket must win by fair means Of foul.
Two charges OF graft have been
made unofficially, against Democratic
and Progressive nominees by members
Of the suffrage party. 1t Is charged
that Democratic candidates several
weeks ago opened negotiations with
officials OF n traction company operat-
ing q suburban line between Los An
geles and Universal City and who are
DESTROYS Of obtaining a franchise to lay
tracks through the main streets of the
new municipality to bring about the
necessary influence In event they were
given sufficient financial support dur
Ing the present campaign. A similar
charge has been made against GER
tain leaders In the Progressive fac
ton. who. according to the women
office seekers. have held long confer
ences recently with several contractors
from Los Angeles who are seeking the
acceptance OF their bids to build arte-
sian wells in Universal City and to
construct new cottages and lay out the
streets.
Both the Progressive and Democratic
candidates who have been labeled by
the suffrage opponents as being in
volved in the pre-election conspiracies
have ,placarded every telephone pole
and board fence in the city with en-
phatic denials OF the verbal allegu-
tons made against them.
"The women want the vote" reads
one glaring three color poster pasted
on a conspicuous fence. The Demo-
Gratis won out In November. We are
going to win on May 70. The suttra-

Nov, the only way for us to win is
for each to bring at least one

BOY RUN OVER By WAGON

Wednesday afternoon about five
o'clock. the little ten-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs John winfrey OF Twelfth
and Beech streets, fell frow a loaded
wagon on which he was riding, the
rear wheel of the wagon passing over
his body at the waist, injuring him in
ternally, and in such manner that
his recovery is doubtful
The facts as told reporter as as
follows: A man by the name Of
Smith was hauling cotton seed from
the Mead gin TO the Durant Cotton
Oil company Several boys, among
them the little winfrey boy, had
caught on the rear Of the wagon, and
we're taking ride The driver Of the
wagon was not aware that the boys
we're on the wagon. When the wagon
reached point near the Roberts gin
the Wintrey boy jumped down from
the rear and ran around to the side,
and attempted to get up in the wagon,
making a leap for the brake. In some
manner he lost his footing and fell
underneath the wagon, the back wheel
passing entirely over the body. AS
soon as the accident was discovered
the wagon was stopped and he was
taken to Il house nearby and medical
attention was given. He was bruised
internally and inflammation set up In
the stomach. followed by spasms. and
the little fellow is in a precarious
condition, and the physicians are hold.
ing out very little hope Of his recov'
cry.
The wagon was loaded with cotton
seed, Weighing 2,1O0 pounds. Th'
physicians state that II the wheels had
passed over the body just little
above where they did that death woult
have been instantaneous. When th'
fboy was ricked up from the street thu
imprint Of his body could plainly b.
seen in the mud where he was ruI
over.

Fort Worth, Texas, September 26.-
The problem that confronts the Amer
lean farmer next in Importance to dis
tribution, is diversification. Many
states and countries boast of their
powers Of diversification, but very few
of them exercise it. In this article
shall use Texas to illustrate condit-
ions which exist in all other states.
| have before me balance sheet OF
Texas production and consumption
prepared by the Texas Commercial
Secretaries and Business Mems Asso-
citation, showing that out of thirty
three agricultural products which we
produced. and OF which we also con-
sumo, we have surplus production in
only two-cotton and rice. We lead
all other states in the Union in pro-
duction OF cattle, yet our livestock sta
tistics show net loss in consumption
over production of $2,000,0O0 per an
and other meat products which are
shipped in from other states. What is
true of Texas applies with local varia-
tion to all states and to the Nation as
whole.
Our civilization has charged Texas
farmers with the responsibility ol
clothing twenty per cent of the popd-
lation of the globe, but the burden Of
providing raiment for 300,000,000 peo.
pie is not valid excuse for our beg

The farmers of the United States il
not properly balance the Nations ra

areas and produce larger quantities o
products per capita than the people o
