MRS. PANKHURST ADMITTED.
Gram the Houston Posts

tTTDW INC HOHNfDU CNf.l
President Wilson adopted the wiser
course in permitting Mrs. P%ankhurst to
enter the United States. because to have
refused her would have been offensive 10
the thousands Of American women who
are interested in the suffrage question.
There is not the slightest danger that
she eXcmp ify militant methodS in this
country. and very likely she wi be hos
pitably received everywhere she gees
She will not be apt To advise her .tla-
crican sisters TO adopt the tactics pursued
by her followers in England. Therefore
il will be less harmful to permit her to
proceed with her lectures than to have
stopped her.
Mrs. Pankhurst came over to the Uni
ted States to make some money. W hich
is entirely legitimate 50 'Ong as she does
not abuse the country's hospitality.
There are thousands of peop,e who
want to pay to hear her and they are
EMIT ed to have the pleasure. The suffra-
gettes want her. because they believe her
recital of the wrongs. imaginary or real,
to which the English Snffraunttes have
been subjected will strengthen the cause
of woman's suffrage in this country.
SO, from the present writing. the situ-
alton involves no peril to the country or
its Institutions. She has been here before.
without wrecking anything. and NE are
just as safe now as heretofore.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER %, 1913.
COLD STORAGE AND PRODUCE.

The price of cabbage in the local retail
market, yesterday, was 6 cents per pound
-$12O a tor. This is a high price for the
local h~ousekeeper to pay, and it is far,
far more than any local farmer has re
ceived this year. More than he has ever
received in any normal year.
This brings us face to face with a pro
position that touches closely both the
tOwnspeop.e and the country people. The
town buyer pays too much, the grower
gets practically nothing. @.1t4
! I'm this way we arrive once more at the
lquestion of a cold storage for Browns
vile, and it should not require much ar
gument to prove that the proposition in
wolves both business policy and public
policy. Y.
For reasons into which it is not neces-
sary to enter here. this has not been an
ideal year among the produce growers
of the Brownsville neighborhood. Because
il has not been an ideal year for the grow
ers it has not been an ideal year for the
town. We need not be Shamcfaccd in max
ing the admission for the facts are so
clear they need no argument.
Perhaps the establishment of a coM
storage warehouse at the rice mill will
not create Il big. rich market for all the
rmer or an ideally cheap market for
all tire Brownsville BUYERS. Yet it will
undoubtedly help. 1t viii. on the side of
the farmer keep many hundred do lars of
valuable produce from The garbage heap,
and at the sst,ine, time supply the city with
a reasonable market for the produce
stored. Consider that Il reduction of two
cents a pound on the present price of
cabbage would allow the grower with
cabbage in cold storage ut market price
Of $50 per ton: which should leave'a de-
cent profit after Storage charges are paid
0"There is i tide in the affairs Of men,
which. taken at its { ood, leads OF to
fortune" remarked the great bard.
Brownsville and capitalists in Browns
Vile and its ncighborhoo;i stand now
where the tide of opportunity turns i'll
its direction. 1t wi | be Il mistake to ne
glect this chance 1t will mean victory to
embrace it.
Keep remembering that good maxim.
Every little helps" This is Il good year
to remember it in this community. Also
a bad year to forget it.

WHAT Is A BUTTER FAMINE?

Did YOU notice the butter famine dur
ing several DAYS this week? Ypu did. You
know Won did, because vou suffered from
it Yourself. For YOU heard the children
cry for il. You had to eat your hot grid
die cakes with syrup alouc-and 1T has
aOng been your custom TO mix butter with
the swcctnin' on your hot cakes. Also
sou grumhlcd, and it took the housckeep-
er some little time to cXp'ain that You
could as easily have melted pearls for
breakfast as butter on your cakes in
Brownsville on that day; that the fam
inc was perhaps due TO a soft place in
the Frisco road bed far away i'll the dir
ection Of the aurora borealis. Also YOU
were distressed to discover that there was
no butter for the toast of the sick per
son in the house
Why is a butter famine? Because the
churn and the COW are located somewhere
up around Falfurrias, or at Mission or
McAllcn. 1t is further To Falfurrias than
il is from Jerusalem to Jerico-a 'ot fur
ter. Also it is too ia" to walk to McAl!cn
and Mission. Yet again. why is a butter
famine Because we lack some few grains
of enterprise that are needed for the de-
velopmnt Of a good creamery business III
this ncighborhoCd. Think how a good
creamery wouW help rs now. II would
give employment for men and dividends
on capital. II would also prevent the cX-
asperating painful dishcartening famine.
1t would be so much easier to live a
sweet. innocuouS, sunny Christian life
if there were no butter famine. 1t is 4
sad alternative when we must eihter eat

nothing of the ethical aspects of the ease.

because it is low. but because we must

COTTON SEED CONSUMED.

The statistics of G tton seed are col

political benefit from the nomination
which has been given him by the Progress

Had a similar nomination come to him

would nave been such an endorsement of
his character and acts, and such a pro

without doubt have been employed to
bring about his downfall. that Mr.. Sulz-

not only without a sacrifice of political

one of the most significant ten

JOHN G. BIRDsELL.


John Comfy BirdseH was the man
who gave the perfected clover huller
to the world. Having done that and
tasted the first sweet fruits Of = his
success. ne died. deeply regretted by
the community.
The machine which has revolu-
tionized the production Of clover seed
was the development Of an idea con-
ceived by Mr.. Birdsell in the early
ffties, but the difficulties he encoun-
tered inn constructing a machine
that would separate clover seed from
the straw were as nothing compared
with those by which he was beset
when his machine was patented and
its value 10 the world recognized.
Mr.. Birdsell was mercilessly set
upon by the INSCRIPTIONS and before
his rights were established he had
spent a fortune in fighting for them.
once his right to the invention was
recognized by the courts the business
Of his company. in which his sons
were associated with him. became
worldwide and the fame Of South
Bend was carried 70 the uttermOst
corners of the earth by the Birdsell
clover huller.
Mr.. Birdsell belonged 10 a Quaker
family. from which he inherited
great industry and unconquerable de-
termination. In his line Of endeaVOI
he was as much a captain as any
laUreled soldier who leads his hosts
TO war, and more certainly beneficial
10 his race and tune he solved g
problem that advanced an impOrtan
branch of agriculture many years.
His name rightfully belongs on tht
roll OF eminent men Of South Bend
He was not merely a successful

than the trade of making money.
