the WHITE SLAVE LAWS EFFECTS.

A. Bruce Bielaski. who has charge
of the Mann or white slave law under
the federal department. OF justice. spoke
at the Worlds Purity congress in
Kansas City. He said that the viola
lions of the Mann law are decreasing
owing to the vigorous work OF those
whose duty 1t is to enforce 1t. Mr..
Bielaska reported that during the fiscal
year 1913, ass indictments and 1852
convictions were secured under the
law; fifty seven cases were acquitted.
Since the law has been in operation
convictions have totale6 sol.
He made several recommendations
as to changes in the law. one Of which
seems to be especially sensible and
righteous which is TO provide that a
woman guilty of cooperation in secur-
ing her own transportation for pur-
poses of prostitution may be punished
jointly with the man in tie case: that
wife be made a competent witness
against her husband. as marriage has
been resorted 10 as an escape; that
treaties should be made with other ma
tons providing for the extradition of
persons charged with white slavery.
The white slave law has been as
saulted severely because Of its scope
which includes with the commercial
white slavers those escapaders' of the
Carninetti and Dlggs types. But Il, APP

THE BOY IN m'eurFEY's READER.

The American Book Company is to
discard the story of the little boy who
sought and found job as cash boy in
u store that he might be Of help to his
widowed and overworked mother. The
story Is a mighty good one as every
lump in his throat that threatened
his dignity when he stood up in class
to read his verse when the &C. read
ing class was in session years ago.
The little fellow struck the job, got his
81 week and hiked home with it to
his mother proud and happy as a king
to be met as mother would meet boy
like him. 1t was in McGuffey's Second,
IL you remember, 1t stuck in succeed
ing editions because II had the punch
and the lesson and the beauty of love
and sacrifice in it. Now the book COM
pany has agreed to eliminate 1t because
the secretary Of the National Child
Labor committee says such an extreme
case of child labor shouldn't be put
before school children as an example
worthy of emulation.
The new story which is to replace it
deals with little girls conscience
and the triumph of truth.

offered to the general circulation

IOWA AND EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

Attorney General Cosson, VINO has
pretty well established q reputation as
a political weather prophet Of the first
class is quoted as predicting that the
woman suffrage amendment will come
from the legislature TO be submitted
and that it will carry in the general
vote. Indeed Cosson predicts that the
amendment will meet no substantial
opposition in the legislature.
Women Interested IN the movement
for woman suffrage are making house
TO house canvass OF the city and county
to ascertain the opinion OF men and
women as to this proposed reform in
our voting. The result of their can
yass will be Of interest TO everyone
and people should give the canvassers
kindly consideration.
There has not been any opposition
to woman suffrage in Iowa for num-
Der Of years past that might not have
preston Of majority of Iowa women.
The fact is that the women Of the
state have never in majority or even a
considerable minority asked for the
ballot. Had they done so Iowa would
have had woman suffrage years ago.
Nobody is particularly opposed TO worn-
an suffrage In Iowa except the brewing
and liquor interests and those allied
interests which fear the influence OF
women In politics and government.
It may be recommended to the SUI
fragists who are making a canvass Of
the state that they especially seek
and secure the signatures and approval
of women rather than men. The suf-
frage cause in Iowa rests and has
rested this long time upon the women
themselves. When a reasonable num-
Der of women ask it there will be no
opposition worth reckoning with
against 1t.

Two Nebraska cows looked very
much alike and, for all one could tell by
their looks, were equally good cows. 1t
cost S6415 a year to feed one of them.
and $3.50 for the other. One OF them
in a year produced $40 more than her
feed cost, the other $50 more. In other
words, the owner for all his work,
keeping. and interest got $40 from one
and $50 from the other. One made
money, the other really lost 1t. With

Corn and Kerosene.

1T has long been the custom among
farmers" states the bulletin, ito pour

vious to planting In order to protect II
from being injured or destroyed by
squirrels. crows, or other pests. Until
recently few or no careful observa-
tons have been made to determine
whether the treatment accomplished
the purpose for which II was used or II
the effects on germination~and subse-
quent growth were favorable or other
wise" The bulletin briefly describes
the work that has already been done
and also the Investigations carried on
by Mr.. Written.
Two, statements which are part OF
his conclusions stand out as very inn
portant:
1T is not advisable to treat seed corn
with kerosene unless the water con-
tent OF the soil Is under control"
The injurious effects OF petroleum
oils on terminating corn seems to vary
inversely as the volatility Of the re-
