At the Thursday afternoon Discus
sion and Parliamentary Law class
held by the Newark Equal Suffrage
League at headquarters yesterday,
"Feminism and Votes for Women"
was discussed. One speaker brought
I'D the contention that suffrage would
break up the home. Mrs. Julia Heath,
president of the Housewives League,
gave as her reason for becoming a
suffrag,st the fact that during the
three years of her presidency she
was often invited to speak before suf-
frage organizations, while she had not
one invitation from the anti-surfra-
gists, Does this not show who is the
more interested in the homeY
After the discussion resolutions were
adopted to the effect that suffraglsts
have no more sympathy with fem
inism from the anti suffragists' view
po,nt than have other good men and
women. That suffragists must neces-
sarily advocate free love, If 1t be not
II wilful SANDER, is the result of
ignorance on the part of the ants
as to both suffrage and feminism, 1t
was stated.

owAssA's HOLIDAY.

The little town of Owasa Is holding
its annual celebration Of Good Roads
day today and the township and much
OF the adjacent country will furnish a
good crowd. It is holiday-aud much
more. It is really a celebration of an
the may of the United States in red
letters-for Owasa took the king drag
and showed Missouri how to handle it
to the best advantage. The dirt roads
Of owasa are among the best in the
country. Magazine articles have been
written upon them and the system
which created them.
1t all started as such things do with
one man and bunch Of other men
who were willing to give some time and
attention to public benefit Prent.
Ransom kept store at Owasa and con-
Quoted the usual business of a mer-
chant in village until he had become
fairly well fixed as the saying goes in
such neighborhoods. He stood in" with
his community. The boys liked him.
When the road drag displayed it's
adaptibility to the country road i'm
provement Owasa township formed q
sort of road i'm provement club and put
Ransom at the head Of it. He was
superintendent. When ,he roads were
exactly right for dragging in his judg-
ment he called the other members 81

and they hitched up the horses and
dragged each until he met anothe,

The Strawpile
June Bug. Threaten Crops.

Already next years meadows. pas
lures and corn fields are threatened.
The presence of armies Of June bugs
all over the state this year foretells
the coming Of millions of destructive
white grubs to feed on next years
crops. for from this years June bugs
develop next years grubs.
These pests, which are always COM
mon, feed on the roots Of corn, timothy
and other grasses. and unless they are
checked, they will exact an ever-in-
creasing toll from the farmers crops
and profits.
They can be controlled. according to
J. g. Sanders Of the college of agricul-
ture, University Of Wisconsin, by plow-
ing up this fall as much as possible Of
the old meadows, intended for plant
ing Of corn the following spring. and
pastures ana cleaning the grass and
refuse from the roadsides and fences,
thus killing the grubs by exposure dur
ing the winter.
By following a short rotation, In
Guiding At least one Of clover, the pests
are prevented from getting start, and
are kept from doing much damage.

CALL THE ROLL.

lSAOVA lily 1ElOuNc'J
There ought to be some way to call
the roll Of the senate on the mileage
graft. A majority Of the senator's
seem determined to retain this rake
off but are very careful that the coun-
try shall not know how they vote on so
simple question Of honesty.
There are few causes so poor and
few customs so bad that something
may not be said in their favor. Un-
Willingness to go on recorl on the
mileage graft indicates that senator's
themselves believe it is wholly indefen-
sible, while voting viva voce to retain
it.
Senator Smoot, it is true. lifts his
voice in favor of the retention of the
payment OF 20 cents mile each way,
but he is not dependent on public ap-
prevail for his office. He holds 1t by
virtue of suhservience to hierarchy
that has the habit of offending
the people Of the United States.
There are only ninety-six senators
and it should be possible 10 get roll
call on the mileage question. II each
senator We're asked to declare how he
voted when Senator ke.iyon brought
the matter up the other day. those who
favored the reform would be willing to
admit it, while those who refused
would justly be under suspicion of hav-
ing voted to retain this emolument
of office.
Senator Lane says he lives 1900
miles from Washington. A trip home
and return will bring him 1920 or a
net profit of nearly $1,000. He says it is
graft. and he wants 1t done away
with His honesty is in refreshing
contrast to the senators who work IN
secret to retain the graft without going
on record in favor of it. They should
be exposed.

Care of a Cream Separator.

Hand separator cream as it comes to
the average creamery seldom grades
higher than extras. But this is not the
fault Of the separator. The real trou-
BILE is in the care Of the separator and
in the caring for the cream after 1t
leaves the separator. How many far
mers take the pains to thoroughly scald
and wash the separator after each run!
a few do, but the bulk are careless. and
as result. their profits are decreased.
AS soon as the milk is separated II
should be cooled down to 55 degrees
Fahrenheit or below and kept at that
temperature until it arrives at the
creamery. Too many farmers retain the
cream on the farm for too long period.
The average farmer is not able to care
for the cream for a long period. con-
seauently he should haul the cream to
the creamery in nice, clean, sweet cans
at least twice week in winter and
every other day during the summer.
Another source of loss in the Skim
milk experiments goes to prove that
the balance OF the separator is an i'm
portant factor in skimming. This
seems a small factor, but, nevertheless
| it means dollars and cents at the end
of a year. Purdue University tells us
that when the separator is running
smoothly the loss Of butter from one
COW in one year is 1896 pounds. while
il the machine is tumbling. the loss
| amounts to 9.72 pounds of butter from
one COW in one year. a difference OF
almost eight pounds, which figured al
80 cents per pound equals 1886 per
COW or for a herd of twenty COWS
amounts to the sum of $500 or more
than sufficient to pay for the feed OF
one average COW for one year.
