The Story Of Woman
Suffrage in Idaho.
BY EMMA EDWARDS GREEN,
Secretary Idaho State Council Of
Women Voters.

What has the ballot done for the
women of the State of Idaho? i
has given them the right TO stand
side by side with their brothers and
expand into a glory of womanhood
not attained by women in non-suf-
frage States. 1t has given them
wider horizon, a finer self-polse,
grander conception of life and It's
possibilities. as well as firmer con-
fidence in self a confidence that has
strengthened many a womna.
We women of Idaho feel that We
are but beginning our accomplish
ments and we are now commencing
the formation of a women's organiza.
ton known as the Idaho Council OF
Women Voters, with Miss Margaret
Roberts as president. This IS p
branch of the National Council OF
Women Voters with similar organ
cations in the ten suffrage States ana
the suffrage Territory Of ALASKA
A chapter has been formed in Boise
with the widest and most liberal plat
form possible.
We have secured a nine-hour law
for working women which is IN run

TBELlENE in equal suffrage because

pie are supposed to govern them

Many Kansas Reforms
Are Due to Suffrage.
BY JESSIE WRIGHT WHlTcoMB,
BY JESSIE

No election has been held in Kan
sas since our women received the full
ballot, so ii is impossible to point out
direct political results of the extended
suffrage at this time.
In addition to this, our women have
always had a modified and gradually
extended ballot, and many of the re-
forms so much desired by women in
other States have been won and pre-
served.
We have in Kansas Statewide pro-
hibition, which, in itself, has prevent
ed a large share of the evils falling
to women's lot in liquor States. Thai
prohibition has been continued and
that the law has been as satisfacto-
rily enforced as 1t has is generally
admitted to be due largely to woman's
municipal vote.

When you sell your Cottonseed
you should sell it according to it's
contents of OIL, and not by the bush

seed are rich with oil, nitrogen and
protein, you ought to be paid for it.
An analysis will tell you so, and will
cost you only $3.50 for complete
analysis of your cottonseed. You
then insist to be paid according to
the real value of your seed Your
local cottonseed buyer will not very
likely object to that, as it is as fair
for him as it is for you. He wants
his moneys worth, SO you want
your seed moneys worth.

Oftentimes weak kidneys cause
great annoyance and embarrassment
to children. Inability to control the

and too frequently the child is pun

troubled with kidney weakness
would de we'll to treat the kidneys
with a tested and proven kidney
remedy. If there is pain in the
back, discolored urin, irregular urin-
alton, headaches, dizzy spells or a

Kidney Pills at once. A remedy
that has been used in kidney troubles
for over SO years and has been
recommended by thousands. Proof

and he surrounded his guests with more

Up in the front Fart of the store sat a
band. 1t was a band with one horn. that
being about all Mr.. Kramer thought safe
to risk under District statutes made and
provided for the regulation of music on
Sunday night. The rest of the band was
composed of a dozen fiddles. a piano and
