TWENTY YEARS OF SUFFRAGE
IN NEW ZEALAND.

That woman suffrage is a good
thing, indeed, a great thing, and that
all of the so-called arguments of the
opposition fall down in actual prac-
tice, is proved by the results of 20
years Of voting women in New Zea-
land.
This was the statement made re-
Gently in Washington by Mrs. Ander-
son Hughes-Drew, superintendent of
the suffrage work of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union for the
world and well known New Zealand
lecturer, who was delegate from
New Zealand and Australia to the
recent w. C. 7. U. international con-
vention in Brooklyn, N. Y.
Mrs. Hughes Drew is now visiting
in Washington. She is better known
as Miss Anderson Hughes, and has
only been married three months.
In New Zealand women are barred
from becoming members of the legis-
lature, but several years ago Mrs.
Hughes-Drew was requested to stand
for election to the Australian legisla-
ture. She refused, however, being
native of New Zealand. She said
that now efforts were being made to
remove the bar to women being elect
ed to the legislature in New Zea-
land.
81 have been voting ever since |
was of age" continued Mrs. Hughes
Drew, land have travelled in all parts
of New Zealand and Australia, and
therefore know whereof | speak when
| say that woman suffrage has been
great success. Anyone who pro-
posed that the voting right be taken
away from our women now, would be
considered candidate for the insane
asylum.
"The opponents of votes for women
say that suffrage will make women
unwomanly and break up homes. That
is wrong. New Zealand is noted for
its homes, and yet its women have
been voting for twenty years. That
is proof. Our women are great home
lovers and almost every family has
a home of its own.
'The difference in political meetings
and election scenes before and since
women got the ballot in New Zealand
is remarkable. 1t used to be that dis
graceful scenes sometimes marked po-
litical gatherings. Now such things
never occur. The candidates realize
that the meetings must be made such
that respectable women can attend
and general uplifting tendency in
the politics of New Zealand has been
the result.
"The actual act of voting is much
like dropping letter in the mail box,
yet the opponents of the movement
pretend that such a great deal of
work connected with it that wo-
man cannot vote and keep up her
home and other interests. OF course,
voting calls for thought and careful
consideration, but it is self evident
that this kind of thought broadens
women and is good for the general
welfare of the state.
Just one think in New Zealand
shows the success of woman suffrage.
Our infant mortality is smaller than
in any other country in the world
in the world, remember-and has been
growing smaller for several years.
Now, there as most certainly connec-
ton between women and infants, and
if fewer children die in New Zealand
in proportion to the population than
in any other country it proves that
our women are caring for the child
rem better. They cannot care for the
children as they should unless they
have the ballot"

NOTES OF INTEREST
TO THE FARMER

There are three very useful in
sects to mankind, the ladybug, the
wasp and the honey bee. The lady
bug feeds upon plant lice and other
insects that are harmful to vegeta-
ton. The wasp is great enemy of
the caterpillars that eat the crops.
The honey bee carries pollen from
one plant to another, which is use
full in producing seed.

no relation whatever TO the diminution in
the ranks of the musca domestica against
which a war of determination has been
declared. 1t would be a most difficult
