Where the Tango Originated

There Is nothing new in the step that

both at home and abroad. in regard to
the tango.
AS long ago as the December Of 1851
the archbishop Of Buenos Ayres ex-
communicated one Senor de la Cueva y
Benavides. governor OF the city, for
dancing the tango In public.
Even then the dance was anything
but new. An authority in the Argen-
tine states that the tango is named
after q province in Indo-China, and
The Washington times., 1914-04-11

that IL originated there more than 1000
years ago
1t was the Gypsies who took the dance
to Spain. from whence il reached the
Argentine.

glossary Of South American Spanish-is

, just as quickly and just as neatly and
just as considerably as l could.
Why shouldn't you have a boy for a
friend. if you want to. and why should
your girl chum act like a goose about
1t?
There's nothing mysterious and deep
and dark and romantic about her be-
havior. She's just jealous. that's all
just plain. oId-fashioned. small-minded,
green-eyed jealous.
If your boy friend is a nice chap and
you like him and your people like him,
and he likes you. that's all that's neces-
sary.
Let the girl friend see that she will
either have to come to her senses or
say farewell to you.

Attempt At
Safe Breaking

An attempt was made last
Thursday evening to break into
the safe of the Case & Limberg-
er well drilling company, of this
place. Some one more or less ac-
quainted with the habits of the
firm opened the outer door of
the safe on which the combina-
ton is never turned, and then
attempted to force the door of
the inner box with sledge,
crowbar and other implements.
Evidently the parties were scar
ed aETey by SC cone in the
neighborhood, for they left be-
fore completing t h e job. A
number of notes and valuable
papers were kept in the box and
it must have been to destroy
some of these, that the attempt
was made, since no money is
kept in the safe.

Women's Suffrage News

~sssS6V ASV"n
The following from Judge Ben
Lindsey, of the Juvenile Court.
Denver. Colorado, will be of
interest to our readers. Col
orado has been a suffrage state
for twenty years and Judge
Lindsey is in a position to know
what the effect has been on leg
islation. He says, Il want to
say to you men and women it
isn't a question Of what women
are going to do with their vote
any more than it is a question of
what men are going to do with
it. The question is, Is 1T right;
is it Just?' and if we believe it is.
my friends, if we would be just
ourselves we must give them the
right. In the end, | believe the
net results will be good. The
net results of woman's suffrage
in Colorado has been good. | be-
lieve firmly that today we have
laws on the statute books that
we would not have, or would not
have got so soon as we have
might have got them in time-if
it had not been for the fact that
women vote. OF course my
friends you hear the arguments
of the antI-suffragists that GER
tain states have laws protecting
women and children where
women do not vote. What of it?
Suppose they have? To my
mind, as the lawyers say, that is
irrelevant and immaterial. 1t is
beside the mark. Some people
say, Won't you double the num-
ber of voters?' Well, suppose
you do? Should a little thing
like that stand in the way of
gl anting Justice?
There are women, however,
who are home-makers and bread
winners; there are widows, Of
course; there are tens Of thous-
ands forced into AN economic
struggle on the same plane with
men, who may want to exercise
the same privilege that men have
at the ballot box by voting for
men who are called upon to make
laws for them. And as long as
they want that right, and say
they want it, they ought to have
it extended to them, Or, wheth-
er they want it or not, | think
they ought to have it whether
they want It or not. That is the
way feel about it. Because it
is right Because it is just. Be-
cause it helps women and in the
end will help US all. J"

Are not the lives not only their

Dairy Cows Solve Freight Rates

Dairy farming reduces the
expense of rketing products
80 per cent" states Prof. C. Lar
son of the South Dakota State
College. Prof. Larson goes on
t. say that this is especially true
of the farmer in the middle
western states whose market is
Chicago.
Many farmers are located
from six to fifteen miles from a
shipping point. To haul a load
of hay or grain will cost days
wages of team and man. Ship
ping corn from Sioux City or
Mitchell to Chicago costs about
lie per cwt., for hay 20c per
cWt.
During the winter months a
dairy COW will eat about three
tons Of hay and one ton of grain.
To get this feed for one cow
from the farm to Chicago mar
ket costs:
Hauling from farm to shipping
point, three loads of hay at S4.OO
per load $12. 90
Hauling from farm to shipping
point one load of grain S4.OO
Freight on three tons of hay
from shipping point to Chicago
at 20c per cwt. S12.OO
Freight on one ton of grain
from shipping point to Chicago
at lie per cWt. So. 40
Total S31. 40
"A fairly good dairy COW is
able to change this feed into 300
pounds of butter. Shipping 300
pounds of butter to Chicago
costs about S1.35. Adding $500
for hauling makes a total cost of
s3.35. The dairy COW has re.
duced the cost Of marketing
from s31. 40 to S3. 35. or to about
ne.ninth as much.

Il am now and always have been

to vote the same as the men. 1t
is in accordance with the prin-
ciples Of true democracy and is
necessary to secure to them SOC
ial and legal equality. Besides
the women on all social questions
are more apt to be right than the
