WOMEN Will CRATE.
Both for and Against Vote Forces Are
Ready for War.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Beginning today
the air of the national capital Will be
vibrant with feminine oratory for, and
against votes for women. In an effort to
Offset the effort of the anti-suffragists
mass meeting Friday, the suffragists
with tonight will inaugurate an elaborate
series of meeting at which their most
prominent and forceful speakers will pre-
side. The anti-suffragists profess to Be
more than delighted with the prospects
for an enormous meeting Friday to pro-
test against the campaign for the ballot.
1t is announced at their headquarters to-
day that fifteen states already have de-
claTed their intention of sending delega-
tons. These are Massachusetts, New
York, ILLINOIS. Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, Rhode Island, Ohio, Wisconsin,
New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connect
cut Vermont, Michigan and West Viz
ginia. AS result of the expected crowd
arrangements have been made for an
overflow meeting.
Due to the keen rivalry between the
two camps the national capital may have
another woman's parade. The anti-suf-
fragists claim they are being urged from
all quarters to march in a procession
calculated to pale into insignificance in
magnificence and size, the procession and
pageant OF the suffragiSts- The matter
now S being considered.

and placed in Jail where they can be
secured for the hearings.
Recently Maggie Johnson, who
sWore to a complaint charging her
husband with beating her, was ar
rested as a witness and is being held.
Either such complaints should not be
made or else the complainants should
prosecute them, Judge Carver says.
Cases which are dismissed for want
OF prosecution are expensive to the
state, the costs being taxed against
the state in every case. So there will
De no more tolerance of looseness on
the part of complaining witnesses, and
those who ask that complaints be is
sued from now on must appear when
the cases come up for trial or stand
the consequences, which might mean
several days in the county bastile.

Marketing Farm Products.

THE crying evil Of the present day is the
high cost of living and active inquiries are max
inp in every direction with the intent to afnel-
iorate the situation if possible. Hon. James
Wilson. Secretary of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has for a long time been
carefully investigating this matter and has found
that the distribution of various vegetables mas
thus far seemed to be impossible without involv-
ing the cost of at least half the proceeds, and
frequently all of the proceeds Of the vegetables
in their transference from the producer to the
consumer.
Of course it has been recognized for half q
century that if Watermelons were sent from
Georgia up to Cincinnati or st. Louis at early
dates. long before western Watermelons were
available, these Georgia melons would brlng
large prices. This, of course, has led to an
enormous increase in the production OF water
melons in Georgia and now the problem is as TO
how to distribute the water melons IN the west
ern states in order to supply the demand and
vet not glut the markets. The people are will
ing consumers of fresh vegetables and will take
them in immense quantities, but must not nave
them thrust down their threats, which is pract-
ically the effect of glutted markets and the final
result of which disgusts the consumer as we'll as
the producer.
The wonderful success that has been brought
about in the last two or three decades, and
originating largely in New Orleans, the distrib-
ution of bananas up throughout the Mississippi
Valley, has led to the conclusion that the whole
matter of selling our horticultural products was
only a question of distribution. Possibly this
may be true, but it does seem that no other
plants of which we have knowledge can be
gathered in their comparatively green condition
in the tropics and be transferred to the steam
ships and then brought to New Orleans, loaded
into cars and sent up into every part of the
Mississippi Valley and arrive in good condition
except bananas. This has been made possible
with bananas, but they seem to be a peculiar
fruit, and one that can ripen under these special
conditions and the fruit still retain it's excel
lence in quality and able u command the whole
Mississippi Valley as it's market.
The leading products OF our parish in atarti.
cultural direction, such as lettuce, cucumbers,
eggplants, ETC., need only to be satisfactorily
distributed to reach a good market, We have,
however, a lack Of knowledge of how to keep in
touch with the western markets for our local
