Mrs. Laidlaw, in a stirring address,
predicted that the ballot is coming
for the women of Georgia, and de-
clared that 1t is due the mothers to
permit them to say in what manner
their children shall be reared, under
what conditions they shall live and
under what laws they shall be gov
erned
1t is obvious that the good mother
VIII want to know about the condi-
tons at schools and the places of
amusement that her children and
other children must go to. The mod
ern mother is not content with the
knowledge that she has made life bet
ter for her own children, but wants
to do as much for the children of
other mothers"
Miss Fuutz- Reese pleaded for fair
play and justice, and declared that
an examination of women would show
that they are as well, is not better
fitted for the ballot than the men.
Women Who Should Vote.
She outlined the women who should
be allowed to vote, as follows:
Women who pay taxes.
Women who are consumers.
Working women. of whom there are
100000 in the United States.
The millions of mothers upon whom
rests the responsibility of directing
the lives of their children, witho It
having the right to say under whal
conditions they shall live.
The teachers who have the duty Of
instructing 10000. 900 children in the
problems of to-day, and yet who can
not speak from actual experience.

ed. 1T is not right that when they
reach maturity they should still be
cared for and coddled by the State.
The State and its citizens should take
care of children and those who are
mentally and physically incapacitated
but a grown woman should be al
lowed to take care of herself and have
her rightful share of independence"
The audience seemed loathe to go
even after tho formal addresses We're
concluded. Chairman Hopkins an
nounced that Miss Adams and the
other suffrage leaders on the stage
would be very glad to answer any
questions directed at them.
One of the most practical questions
was that of Frank Galloway, who
wanted to know what reforms had
followed in the wake of woman's
voting in the suffrage States. Mrs,
Mccormick answered him. She said:
Some Reforms Accomplished.
wv herever women have participant
ed in politics and legislation the re-
suit has been progressive legislation
and reforms In these States reform
measures have been adopted within a
few months or years. where it has
taken many years to accomplish the
same thing in the non suffrage States.
Here are some of the fruits of
woman suffrage. Rigid factory in

women, more equable marriage laws,

the city greatly needed.
Now It's Different.
Then last year women were grant

hols, and since then the city govern
ment of Chicago can not do too much

every reform we have fought for;
they have been eager to ask us what
we want and how we want it. The
manner in which our requests have
Deen acceded to since we got the bal
lou Is little short of miraculous.
Hospital reforms that had been
needed for 80 years were accomplish
ed within two months after women
got the vote; reforms have been inau-
gurated in the conduct of the poor
houses; the Mayor has appointed ten
pollcewomen for duty at the parks
and dance halls, and has graciously
offered to increase the number to 25
We have obtained reforms in the han
ding of garbage that have made Chi
cago a cleaner healthier city and we
intend to go on and on until we have

have fought for years"
Miss Adams warned the women
clubs of the country that if they do
not indorse the suffrage movement
they may find themselves without
purpose, for the reforms that hereto
fore have been advocated by the
clubs have been taken up boldly by
the suffragis and have been carried

 WHAT MAY BE STUDIED

Section 7532. The state superintendent of public instruction is hereby directed to prepare ..... a graded course of study to he used in the common schools districts of this state. said course of study to embrace only subjects required by law to be taught in said common schools. and to indicate the amount of work to be done each year of the course. Itshall be the duty of the school directors to see that the course is followed in each of their schools, as far as it is practicable to do SOL
 WHAT THE TEACHER MAY TEACH
 Section 7577. Each teacher shall be authorized to teach only those subjects upon which he has passed an approved examination and which he has been licensed to teach. i"
 This, I think, is a clear state ment in regard to whom may at tend the common district schools and in regard to what branches may be taught in them.
 When our legislators framed the above laws, l think that they had in mind the tendency to burden the teacher with such a large number of subjects that justice could not be done to the pupils in attendance. We are expecting too much of a one teacher one-room school. when we expect that school to do more work than is required by the common school course of study. Each teacher in the rural schools has all the way from 30 to 40 recitations per day. Often times this number is increased by irregular attendance. Sheis re- quired to teach six hours each day 360 minutes. This gives her on an average from g to F for each recitation. The wonder is, that our public schools are as efficient as they are. Our rural teachers deserve much praise for

Standard Oil Finds New
 Location for Plant

The Standard Oil Co, of Louisiana, have purchased a site from the Brinkley Mercan- tile Co.,, just west of the electric plant where they will put in their Brinkley depot.
 The Company purchased the vacant lot just west of the Prick or Cloth property and next to the Rock Island freight depot some months ago. Prior to the purchasing of this site the Con- pany's agent called on the mem bers of the Brinkley City Coun- cil and secured from them a written permit to put in a pipe line across the street and alley getting into their property. After securing this pipeing per- init, the Company purchased the lot. It appears that the city council nor none of their attorney or any one else knew anything about the location of the big storage oil and gasoline tanks on the lot until the big jumbo tanks were unloaded from the cars and the workman began to pre- pare to erect them. Then the question of danger arose and several citizens got busy and filed objections. The Company's General Supt., MT. Scholder, of Memphis, came over to Brinkley and after meeting with the City Council Committee and talking the matter over with our citizens agreed to locate their plant else where.
 The new plant it is said will represent 9 $l6, ,000.00 expendi- ture and will mean much to Brinkley. It is said they will reduce the price of coal oil and gasoline several cents per gallon in Brinkley.

PROMOTION DAY FOR THE RURAL
 SCHOOLS

I have every reason to believe |that the teachers of the rural |schools of the county as well as |the same are in hearty accord with the purposes of Promotion |Day for the Rural Schools. As |eyilepce of interest and co-opera- |tion wish to call attention to [the following facts. High school advantages have been provided lin three additional schools this Wear. The schools providing |such advantages are Monroe, Blackton and Allendale. Roe has been doing high school work flor several years. Each of the above mentioned schools employs two teachers. without which they would not be able to do any high school work successfully. High school work attempted in a bne-teacher. one-room school is, In my opinion, not worth mentioning.
 The interest manifested by those pupils who received Pro- motion Certificates last year is praise worthy. Twelve of the (eventeen who were in the class Ire doing high school work this Rear.
 Promotion Day has provoked he following query which l take pleasure in discussing. May pupils who have received Pro- notion Certificates still continue b attend common district coool?" The question arose in ne teacher one-room school and

Prohibition in Poor Kansas

The following is taken from the reports of the Governor and Attorney General of the state of Kansas.
 Young men and women over 21 years of age who have never seen a saloon in that state, 500, GOO; newspapers publishing liquor lads. :" none; decrease in illiteracy since prohibition began, AZ pert cen; paupers in state, 1 to 5000 population; in- sane in 87 or 105 counties, none; feeble minded in 54 counties, none; inebriates in 96 counties, none; inmates of poor houses in 38 counties. none; inmates in B county jails, none; prisoners serving sentences in 65 counties, none; county jail at Hugoton rented our residence; some coun- ties have not had a jury to try a criminal case in ten years; one county has had no grand jury for 25 years; increase in saving deposits in banks: in 1880, $30- GOO, 900; in 1911, $2OO. GOO. 0oO. "
 Kansas is first among all the states in per capita valuation of property. In 1907 the state sent $50. 900. 900 to New York to relieve the money market. Missouri sent nothing. Death rate reduced since prohibition began from IT to 1000 to z 1 2 to l, 1000.
 Under prohibition Kansas is the healthiest state in the union.
 Surely we should be sorry for a great state that is deprived of the luxuries of ignorance, jails, grand juries. panpers, insane, inebriates, and the heavy tax for prosecuting criminals.

new USE FOR THE HAMMOCK
During the Winter Months It 10 POSI-.
BILE to Get All Kinds Of Comfort
From Il.

One particularly busy young mother
has found winter use for the couch
hammock which all summer long
swung at an end of her porch. She
has provided steel chains and hangers
by which it may safely be suspended
from the wood trim of the living room
ceiling, and also an extra wind-break
of half the height Of that crossing the
back Of the couch. For the baby to
tumble out of this improvised crib is
an impossibility, and instead Of taking
up rocker space, the hammock may be
raised half the height of the room,
well out Of harms way. ...
Another ingenious young mother
conceived the idea of swinging her
hammock-couch across her own bed
and about two feet above it. It's firm
ly braced canvas sides are just high
enough to keep the baby from rolling
out, and do not In the least interfere
with its supply Of fresh air. The sway
ing Of the hammock-couch is less jerky
than Ia that of the cradle, and conse.
Quently Is more soothing to the baby.
