of the women of New Jersey wanted
to vote. Where she got her statistics
from Mrs. Feikert was at a loss to
understand, as the census enumera-
,tors didn't ask women whether they
believed in woman suffrage or not;
that while there were 500 known anti
suffragists there were 5000 women
suffragists in the State. Some of the
ants, she said, argued that the
women would vote as their husbands
did, and other antis argued that they
would vote different from their hus-
bands and the home would be broken
up. And there's your ants argu-
ments."

en- prominently identified with the
women's suffrage cause, including
Mrs. George T. Vic1ers. wife of As
sistant Prosecutor Vickers; Miss EN-
ma L. Richards, of Newark, and Miss
Cornelia Bradford, of Whittier House,
were present.
Assemblyman Egan said if any one
had told him a year ago that within
that time he would preside over a
woman's suffrage meeting he would
have felt inclined TO laugh. He said
he felt honored in presiding al this
meeting; that he had given the sub
1ect some consideration and he firm
ly believed that at least the people
of the State should be given a chance
to vote on the subject as to whether
women should be allowed to vote
through an amendment to the State
Constitution.
Criticises British Suffra gettes.
Mr. Haight said, among other
things, that in a clash of human
rights and property rights, property
invariably had to give way. The only
logical reason he could ever see as to
why woman has thus far been unable
to vote was that she didn't want to.
at least in this country. He described
meetings which he had attended and
he now believed that the great ma
jority of women do want to vote. He
criticized the actions of English suf-
fragettes and said he was glad such
conditions do not prevail in America.
There was a time, he said, when
womens sphere was not in the arena
of politics, but he asked in what class
of work was she not now enga ged in.
Mrs. Feikert, president of the Wom-
ems Suffrage League of New Jersey,
won the favor of the audience by her
knowledge and history of the subject
she has at heart and her witty and
brilliant answers to questions pro-
pounded by invitation after she had
concluded her address. She said she
believed in woman suffrage as a
natural right. She related the case
of an anti-suffragist with whom she
was in a recent debate. AS an anti
the latter alleged that only per cent.

Mrs. Feikert proudly drew atten-
ton of the audience to the recent act
of the Public Service Corporation
fixing as a minimum rate of wage
for women in its employ 80 week,
and declaring that a woman could
not live decently and beyond tempta-
ton on less. Women, she said, now
do not have to do all the work they
used to have to do at home. The
thousands in the factories and stores
are now doing a great deal of that
work
Then the speaker announced she
was ready to answer any questions
that might be put to her.
One of these was as to why there
were no legislation in Idaho and
dren in factories
For the simple reason" she
answered. that there are practically
no women and children in Idaho and
Wyoming factories. That's favorite
old question of the, ants"
Some man in the audience asked
why the State Constitution didn't
originally give the women a right to
vote.
THE original Constitution did," re-
piled Mrs. Feikert, but the women
displeased some of the politicians by
their votes and the vote was taken
away from them"
One old gray haired man in the
audience said that the men had been
sitting as Jurors in their case all
these years and that it was about
time for a change in such legal pro-
cedure.
1t was announced that there will
be a legislative hearing on the sub
iect on February Is. Excursion
trains will be run from all parts Of
the State to Trenton.

sugar beet experiments of the
State College at Brookipgs were
especially lauded by Senator
Sterling. The Senator reminded
that body that the South Dakota
experiment station had achiev-
ed worlds record in producing
sugar beets that yield over
twenty-five per, cent in sugar
content
He quoted at great length
from Professor Shepard's new
sugar beet bulletin and showed
that this might have a great
bearing upon the subject under
debate. The more so since the
sugar beet industry would trans
form agriculture in South Dako-
Ia and surrounding states. both
by giving a valuable new crop.
and also by increasing the fertil.
ity of the soil.
The discussion is printed in
full in the record of July 29. 1t
is an unusual tribute to the quail
lity of work being done by the
South Dakota State College and
Experiment Station. Persons
desiring the sugar beet bulletin
should write for it at once, ad-
dressing the Director of the Ex-
pertinent Station, Brookings.
H. +. Dawes, of Fulton, presi-
dent of the S. d. Grain Growers
association spoke in the recent
Press association at Colorado
Springs and stated why South
Dakota is t h best state in
the Union. He said South Da-
kota bases her claim of being the
greatest State in the Union upon
these facts: The fertility of her
soil is only exceeded by that of
the far famed valley of the Nile.
She can raise corn that will
grade Number one Yellow. She
has the richest square mile of
mineral wealth in the world, the
scenic beauty of her Black Hills
is not surpassed by the sublime
grandeur of the Rocky or Alps
mountains. A helping hand is
extended to those who elect to
make home within her borders.
Her people possess that rarest
of all the virtues which like the

Seeding Winter Wheat

The State College at Brooklngs
has received an inquiry from Les.
terville relative to seeding WIN

lowing reply was sent by Manley
Champlin, Assistant Agroromlst
have your inquiry of August
5th in regard to seeding l6o
acres of winter wheat after oats.
This is not a very satisfactory
Way to seed winter wheat as the
land is likely to be somewhat
Weedy and has rot had an op
portunity to store up moisture SO
that the wheat will probably not
sprout unless there is more ram
this fall. However. seeding IN
the stubble gives you a good op-
portunity to put in the seed SO
that the crowns of the plants
will be protected from wind ard
blowing soil during the winter,
so that if you get stand IN the
the fall you will quite likely have
it come through the winter all
right.
| would suggest that you
double disc your land by tapping
one half and then cross disc it.
If the soil is loose, set the disc
rather straight, or ii it is com
pact set the disc so as to stir NJ
about two or three inches. The
cross discing should be done
north and south and then the
wheat should be drilled east anC
not narrowed or disced after
wheat is drilled. The reason foi
this is that you do not want The
land leveled off, but want it II
little ridges with the Whea'
growing in the tsoughs between
the ridges.
The cross discing helps YOU tc
conserve moisture by mulchin2
the surface and preventing rur
off. The first double disclne
advised, is for the purpose OF
starting what weeds are in the
surface of the soil early, and al
so to conserve any rain that MAY

the note has been common property
to the whole world for a week and
as Turkey unofficially has been CIV
en- diplomatic notice of its exact
contents, there seems no reason why
the reply should not be delivered
promptly unless Turkey determines
to procrastinate in the hope that
some unforeseen event may turn up
to her advantage.
Diplomats expect that Turkey
will concede something to the allies
with the purpose of inducing the
powers to make efforts to bring the
peace delegates together again for
further negotiations. Should this
be the case the allies will have an
opportunity to show whether their
ultimatum to resume hostilities un-
less Turkey complies at once with
their demands is as ironclad as they
profess it to be.

building owned by George Budle-
man, were destroyed. The Knappen

Englebrethon hardware store, and
the Granville dry goods store were
damaged.
The fire started in the rear of the
Mcbride restaurant from some un-
known cause, and before discovered
the flames had gained great head
way. The inefiiciency of the fire SER
rice made it almost impossible to do
anything with the flames, and one
entire side of the business street of
the town was destroyed before the
flames were checked
The fire spread rapidly and was
halted only when the end of the
street was reached and there were
no more buildings in the path of the
flames to be devoured.
It was shortly after midnight
when the fire was discovered and an
alarm was given. The entire town
was aroused and the citizens turned
their attention to saving what they
could from the stores in the path of
Lie fire. and in protecting the bust
ness houses on the opposite side of

A COMMERCIAL
WAR IS FEARED
Argentina Likely to Retaliate for
American Actions.

Wash ington, D. c., Jan. Is
State department officials expressed
disturbance yesterday over the pos
sibfIfty of disastrous commercial
war between Argentina and the
United States. They have reports to
the effect that Argentina is likely to
.retaliate for what is considered in
that country an unfair commercial
advantage taken by the United
States.
Brazil grants to the United States
q tariff reduction Of 80 per cent on
wheat -four. This enables American
millers to compete with Argentina in
Brazilian territory, Argentina con-
siders the Brazilian territory her
own, and there is said to be a strong
feeling in favor OF retaliatory action
in the Argentine congress which is
being fostered by the newspapers of
that country.
