ventured upon ticklish
ground. 1t may be easy for the Suf-
fragists in their zeal to read into the
Fourteenth Amendment any meaning
they desire but 1t Is quite another
thing to convince congress that their
view is the only sound one and that
it must yield to their Instructions on
constitutional grounds. A federal
statute is a simpler device than an
amendment to the Constitution Of the
United States for the enfranchlse-
ment of all women. but it presents
practical difficulties.
A woman suffrage bill in congress
would solidify all the opposition from
all parts Of the country, and in the
present state Of opinion in the east
and south be certain to fail. Even in
the unlikely contingency that it
should pass, congress would only
have enacted interminable litigation
on the constitutional questions in
volved. For the suffragists at this
time to concentrate their efforts in
this direction would seem futile.

SETBACK RECEIVED

Chicago September 5.--Belief thai the demand from Euorpe had been suf. ficiently discounted for the present led to setback in wheat prices to. day after a spasmodic early bulge. n the end the market was steady ai |sA to 1 9s under last night Corn fin. ished X to IS down, oats S off to isc up. and provisions lowered a shade to l5 cents.
 Free selling of wheat set in as soon as the market had touched new high level for May, $1.32, as against sl.3ii4. the tip top point yesterday. The west and northwest were said 10 be letting wheat go less meagerly from farms, and there seemed to be ] diminishing of urgency as to exports. General profit taking was also In or der.
 Despite the break in wheat values, there was no such stop order unload : ing as might have been expected. and the market soon steadied. September delivery held relatively firm. It was explained that big decrease was ex- pected to be shown Monday In the amount of wheat in store at Chicago Shipments Of wheat from here to Can adian ports last week by way of the lakes aggregated 1,571,000 bushels.
 In corn as in wheat there was a tendency toward reaction. Oats ruled easy. Provision trade was of small volume

 On this land is one of the several large farms formerly owned by Robert Jones, once governer of the Choctaw nation. reputed in his day one of ths richest men in the Indian territory. It would seem that his immense wealth had been acquired In perfectly legitimate way.
 The farm still bears the name of the Jones farm though the title of all ths land once cultivated by Jones has passed to other parties The broad acres over which he once presided in almost ''feudal state are now rented by tenants oi those who have been allotted the lands About S0o acres are still in cultivation though much of Jones old farm has been allowed to grow up in weeds.
 All the land around the neighborhood Is good being either of red variety. or else red subsoil, overlayed by shallow black soil that has been deposited in later years II Is said by the old citizens who knew the land in Jones time. that 1t was not uncommon to see. bale oi cotton raised on each acre of the land
 On the old farm one can find Indian relics such as arrow heads. tomahawlxs and pieces of pottery of ancient usage. Specimens of these relies have been col leeted by Prof. P H. Crenshaw and rlaced in the museum of the Southeast ern State Normal school at Durant
 In addition to being historical spot 1t Is perhaps the best hunting grounds in Oklahoma. There s good quail shooting, plenty of dueksSin season. and deer and trukeys. There is fine fishing

A VALUED MEMBER OF THE TURKEY FAMILY

ing how greatly the former is prized will appreciate how much this statement means.
 Just why this magnificent bird Is called the White Holland is another of those mysteries which the student of poultry husbandry meets at every turn. It is quite possible that some enthusiast secured some breeding stock from Holland and used the name to identify his particular strain. But it is generally conceded that the variety did not originate in the Low Countries, since English authorities state it has been bred in Great Britain for upward of a century, and it is commonly found in France, Austria and Hungary. In certain sections of Europe it is called the Austrian White"
 In all probability, the variety sprang from the dark kinds and these, with white sports, were bred together until the type became fixed.
 Breeders of White Holland turkeys claim that their favorites possess many valuable characteristics. Their size is just right for the family turkey males

quite possible that we may secure bet CT matches and rear a larger percentage of the youngsters by artificial than by natural methods. When the turkey hen is sitting, she is usually exposed to the attacks of numerous enemies, may break many eggs or be driven from the nest entirely This means heavy loss, as the eggs are so valuable.

 In point of popularity the magnificent Bronze undoubtedly ranks first at this time. with the White Holland close sec ond Tine Narragansett also has many admirers, but the others are not greatly in evidence. This refers to pure-bred stock The mass of market turkeys com. ing from general farms all over the coun- try are of mixed descent-usually show ing much of the influence of the Bronze blood
 The natural home of the turkey is the farm. with it's acres of pasture, cultivated fields and woodland. Though it has been domesticated for hundreds of years, 1t still retains many of it's wild habits It loves to wander unhindered. and thrives on the insects and other natural food which it finds in abundance on unre- stricted range. The hens seldom lay their eggs in places provided. prefcrring to select their nests in secluded places and adopting every conceivable plan to prevent them from being discovered.
 New Methods Tested
 So pronounced are these characteristics that it was long declared impossible to successfully rear turkeys in restricted quarters or by the use of the artificial methods which are so successfully fol- lowed by growers of chickens. Of late this idea has been practically exploded, que 10 the success or certain breeders, who have boldly departed from the beat en path and attacked the problem from a new angle.
 For instance. at the Rhode Island agri- cultural experiment station many fiocks of breeding turkeys, including those of unmixed wild blood. have been successful Iy kept in large yards. deprived entirely of free range. These birds bred freely pro- ducing satisfactory number of fertile eggs. Further. the hens actually laid turkey growers of the old school
 Artificial methods of matching and breeding have also been used by a few progressive breeders and this work con- tains much of promise for the future. In- cubators and breeders have been greatly improved during the last few years. and further refrf>nents may be expected in the future. As we gain experience, 1t is

They dress off beautifully, for the reason previously stated.
 Another big point in their favor is their tameness. They are unusually domestic in their habits. not given to wandering great distances from home. and are easily controlled.
 The hens are very good layers excel lent sitters and faithful mothers. In hardness the poults or youngsters, are not inferior to those of other varieties.

 A tinge of disappointment is apparent in an editorial in the London Times or war and class war. For 50 years. the editorial reminds us. i've have been told that the united voice of the workers will forbid war, and strenuous efforts nave been made to put some substance into the promise. A universal strike on the ad- vent or approach of war has been pro- posed and much discussed as an efYcctial means of frustrating 1t"
 The socialists must be as surprised. as all other divided groups are, at the anna g. ing spectacle of this fratricidal strife. German social democrats in one army arc fighting the socialists of France, Eel guim, and England in the army of the allies. The question is a fair one which the Times raises. Where is the class conscious solidarity of labor?" However, 1t Is only fair to remember that the same question arises at the sight O. Christians in a life and death struggle against Christians, Protestants against Pfotest4nts, Catholics against Catholics, the holy Orthodox Greeks, against thc holy Orthodox, in the same irrational struggle.
 There are reasons for doubting as too nasty the conclusion of the Times that ''the class war of socialism and the in- ternational peace movement associated with 1t have evaporated and are in pro- cess of collapsing altogether" The onset of this war was too sudden and severe for anything to withstand. The German socilists Indeed proved to be no exception.
 The same night on which martial law was proclaimed throughout Germany their 59 newspapers were suppressed. their clubs and unions were not permitted to have another meeting, and some of their mem bers were summarily shot for continuing to protest against war. In France the foremost socialist, Juares. was killed by a fahatical French patriot who justified his murderous deed by claiming to hnve rendered France a Service in removing the man who. in his consistent stand Cor international peace, opposed the measure for the three years of military service.
