G. w. Elliott and son have recently
made material additions to their fac
tory that will enable them to use more
men and put up tractors in much less
time. They are now more in need OF
larger quarters than anything else
and until their building Is enlarged
will be able to work only a small force,
Work is now being rushed on three
tractors that they promised to deliver
within a few days. One Of these goes
to Connecticut and another to Mon.

is solved. The trouble now Is to get
them out fast enough to fill orders. No
one wants to buy unless he can be as.

very natural. What the Elliotts need

their plant and buy material In guam

NEARBY NOTES OF INTEREST

The management of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy has decided to
utilize the right of way alongside the
tracks for the production Of alfalfa.
Farmers are being offered the use of
the right of way for a low rental, with
the stipulation that alfalfa only be
grown. The road figures that the
growth will not only bring in a small
income, but will save the expense of
moving weeds, burning stubble, etc.,
while the view of the growing plant
will be more pleasing to the eyes of
the travellers than weeds. The new
movement is one Of the phases of the
Burlington's new agricultural develop.
ment system, calculated to bring the
railroad and farmers in close co-opera-
ton for their mutual welfare.-Flan-

Votes for Women Column

1t is gratifying to record here three
recent gains Of considerable import
ance in the march of woman's enfran-
chisement. First, Denmark has re-
moved the sex restriction from her
electorate. She may now step proudly
with her sisters of the northern van
guard Of freedom. Finland, Norway,
ct al.
Second; Nebraska has through the
initiative Joined the campaign states
making the fight for woman suffrage
this fall-the petition far exceeding
the legal requirements.
Third; The United States senate
gave a majority vote for the submits
sion a constitutional amendment re-
moving the political disabilities of wo-
men. Practically all of the expressed
opposition was upon state rights
grounds.
Senator Borah of Idaho was the only
senator from a free state voting no.
But during the debate he repeatedly
affirmed that 1t was not woman suff-
rage per sc. that ne was opposed to
but thought it should be granted by the
respective states.
Two other amendments with the
same object in view were Immediately
introduced and it is thought, by the
workers on the ground, that another
and more favorable vote can be OBJ
tanned after the nation wide May
demonstrations. Inasmuch as the stuff
rage forces were divided as to the
feasibility of securing the vote at this
time, which together with other cir.
cumstances temporarily adverse-it is
expected that the result will give the
eleven needed votes.
That the enfranchisement of women
should be fastened was evidenced by
a recent decision of the supreme court,
which gives to the milling interests the
privilege of making inferior -four pass
for first grade by using poison in the
bleaching. II as Mr.. Dooley says,
"The supreme court follows the cleo
ton returns" 1t is time the bread
makers were given the ballot. The
mother, striving to give her family a
balanced ration is not going to take
chances on the amount of poison she
may get into 1t without visible results.
She will doubtless say by her ballot
(the only effective way) my family
must have unadulterated food. PROFIT
mongers shall not be given the pri-
vilege of evading pure food laws even
though the supreme court be forced
from its usurped power of interpreting
the peoples laws to accomplish it." It
Is n thing to plead and petition and
quite another to speak with authority.

The Personal Element
In Advertising

a DVERTISERS make a
"A mistake in treating their

Be personal in your adver-
Using as you would be in

the individual buyer by direct

Make your advertising as

your business is. Have 1t

For men to cling to traditions in

Glenn Frank in the evening as a par
tial answer to the stirring remarks
made by DR.. Hill. DR.. Frank decided
to change his subject after he had
heard the address by DR.. Hill.
Men should be intelligent along all

His conclusions were always based on

He criticized the speaker Of the af

DIR. John Hill and Glenn
Frank Engage in Political
Wrangle Before Chautau-
qua Audiences.

IF the big stick were in the presi-
Dental chair at the present time, this
country would be at war with Mexico
and we would nave a lot of widows
and orphans to take care Of" was the
statement of DR.. John Wesley Hill at
chautauqua yesterday.
To this Glenn Frank replied that
Roosevelt was an ideal man and that
all his actions, whatever they were,
were the result of deep logical
thought.
Present day politics became entan.
gled in the lectures Sunday afternoon
and evening and the audiences were
given two discourses on political ideals
in the lectures of John Wesley Hill
and Glenn Frank both of New York.
Glenn Frank, the man who gave a
most powerful sermon in the morning,
changed his subject in the evening
from his announced lecture Morals
and Machinery" to Lost in the
Crowd" in which he answered many
of the arguments proposed by DR.. Hill
in the afternoon. Present day political
leaders were frequently brought into
the discussions by the two speakers.
Although he has a reputation as be-
ing one of the most brilliant speakers
on the chautauqua platform, the after
noon audience did not wholly agree
with Dr. Hill. His subject was "Relig-
ion and Politics." in which he dwelt
almost entirely upon pointing out the
weaknesses In the church and in the
politics of the country.
Admires W. II. Taft.
DR.. Hill was for six years pastor of
the Metropolitan temple located in the
business section of New York. He is
at the present time president Of the

quarters at New York. He was ap-

And then 1t was that we sprang our

cavalry emerged from its hiding and
bore down upon the German soldiers.
After a brief battle with horsemen.
the Germans broke and ran, pursued
by our cavalrymen. They were cut
