PETITE BIRMINGHAM SUFFRAGIST WHO
ENVIES ENGLISH WOMEN'S MILITANCYI /
Says There Is Only One
Other Militant Suffragist
Besides Herself in
Birmingham


America are too tame; they like to
talk too much and get their names
in the newspapers. They're afraid
to go out and risk their lives maybe
and face the certainty of arrest and
Imprisonment I'm a suffragette, but
I haven't any sympathy with the suf-
fragettes in Birmingham or Alabama
or anywhere else in America.
'Pd like to get out and smash some
windows and make some speeches on
the street corners and hoot at the big
men, I'd like to get into a crowd OF
women and force my way into the pres
ence of the city government and state
government and make such a din and
disturbance that they'd have TO let
us vote. A man never does anything
until he has to and you've got to
show him that he has to.
m ready to start a militant cam
paign right here in Birmingham any
time that l can get few other women
to so along with me. The trouble
is that there Is only one other militant
suffragette here and we never could
do anything just by ourselves You've
got 10 have a crowd, but these women
are not built that way They'd rather
work and slave and pray and wait;

something, go after II and if you can't

Going Through Supreme Crisis
Miss Freeman says that woman is
now going through the supreme cri-
sis of her existence. that upon what
Is done now depends the future state
of the species. She believes that the
sex, like the Israelites of old, Is right
now emerging from bondage and that
in the glorious ages to come when
she Will be an equal with man in all
things and in many things his SUI
perior, the days of 1913 will be look ed
back upon as when the exodus began,
the days when the spirit of the sex
was aroused and with the light of the
new era in their souls and their hearts
on fire they fought the battle immortal
and won.
Here once, through an alley Titanic,
OF cypress, | roamed with my soul

marks the kindlier spirit of the weaker

She has little use for the ordinary

They believe to this day that Bryan
made speech to them on that occa-
sion, but he did not. He doesn't even
know that the train stopped there, for
it was not Bryan who went out on

ing democrats of that little tank town.
but It was Robert r. Rose, now one
of the two foreign trade advisers,
whatever they are, of the department
of state. At that time he was travel
ing as Bryan's stenographic confidante.
Rose scented trouble on this occasion
and rolling down from his berth. ar
rayed himself in Bryan,s coat hat and
trousers and in the darkness aided by
the broad black sombrero, tickled the
crowd plumb to death and got away
with a fine speech.
Mr.. Robert Rose is probably the only
politician extant who has climbed right
into the midst of politics directly on
his stenography and from all appear
ances he is the only man that Secretary

Northumberland Exceeds Supply

Farmer Who Does Things Well.

Owing to the fact that the demand
for White Leghorn cockerels from the
poultry department, Ohio State Uni
versity, has far exceeded the supply,
many of the requests already re-
ceived and further requests will have
to be turned down. Soon after the
announcement went out through the
extension department that pure bred
cockerels could be secured from the
University at a cost of so cents and
express charges, hundreds of requests
poured in from both country and city
districts. AS the plan of the offer
was to distribute better blood among
farmers focks, those sent out were
delivered to the rural districts and
distributed as fairly as possible.
This number, however, could in no
way fill the flood of orders which were
received and many will have to be
returned to the people who sent them.
Ohio State University will be we'll

Stock Exposition in Chicago, Nov. 20

and 10 head of hogs. Most of these
the largest lunches of stock ever
sent to the International by the Uni
versity. No horses will be shown

Ten years ago Jacob w. Willet
bought 58-acre farm about one and
half miles from Hillsboro, o. Since
that time he has paid for the farm,
besides erecting a house and other
necessary farm buildings. He has
been able to do what he has largely
because he has specialized on two
crops, seed corn and alfalfa. At the
present time he is producing seed
corn of four different varieties, john
son County White, Willet's Yellow
Dent, Reeds Yellow Dent and Rotten
Garage. He has one piece of alfalfa
containing about two acres that has
been cut SO times in the last nine
years. This piece has averaged a
ton per cutting per acre. Valueing
alfalfa hay at the low figure of $15
per ton, this field has yielded gross
income of $540 per acre in nine years.
For a number of years Mr.. Willet
has been exhibiting corn and alfalfa
at the Ohio Corn Improvement Asso-
cations annual show and the Nation

township, to solicit funds for the
same. So far as we know but few
have done anything. Wauseon has

SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Ed
Forest was the victim of a serious
and painful accident which occurred
at the Forest home, about half mile
north of Harrison's Crossing. Mr..
Forest, is down with a case of ty-
phoid fever and during his illness
his father, Mr.. Joseph Forest, has
been attending to the work about the
place; on Saturday afternoon Mr..
Forest, Sr., was oiling the gasoline
engine used for pumping water and
Ed, whose condition was much i'm
proved, asked his wife to step out
and give his father some instruction
in regard to oiling the engine; Mrs.
Forest was in the act of combing her
hair at the moment and without
waiting to put it up she stepped out
holding her hair aside from her face
with one hand; she delivered Eds
message to his father, who looked
away from her for an instant, when
he turned to look at her again Mrs.
Forest was lying on the ground un-
conscious with practically all of her
hair gone from her head and her
scalp badly torn. The screams of the
twins who had been "helping" their
grandpa attracted the attention of
Ed who got out of his bed and came
to the scene. The doctors Hartman
were called and reached the place
within thirty minutes of the time the
accident happened and Mrs. Forests
injuries were attended to. 1t seems
that in some way Mrs. Forests hair
caught in the governor of the engine
and she was pulled down, striking
her head as she fell in such a way
that portion of her scalp, about as
large as mans hand was torn loose
from her head and hung by one edge;
her hair was taken from the scalp
as if by some sharp instrument,
shaved close to the scalp.
The torn scalp was replaced by the
doctors and they believe that it will
heal nicely and that her hair will
grow out in due time.
Mrs. Forest lay unconscious from
the time of the accident until early
Sunday morning; a nurse was Sc
cured from Toledo and Monday both
Mr.. and Mrs. Forest were reported as
doing well. Mr.. Forest, contrary to
the fears that were entertained has
rallied from the shock of the acci-
dent and continues to improve
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Forest are
thankful that the outcome of this
serious accident is no worse than it
is and hoping that they may be fav-
ored with a speedy recovery to health
and strength
