Suffrage Notes
In This Column Will Appear Topics Suffrage

The influence Of the women voters
OF Wyoming is showing itself more
clearly than ever before. The legis-
lature has just closed a remarkable
session at which were passed a large
number of measures in the interest of
women. Mrs. Norma A. Wood, wild
ow, with two little girls, was an hon.
ored member OF the house, and was
able to get bill through providing
against child labor in injurious occu-
pations. Mrs. Woods desk was kept
supplied with fresh bouquet every
morning. and when the other members
Of the house received boxes of cigars
she and the minister member each
received box of candy.
Rev John W.. Greenleaf, recently
spoke on "The Emancipation Of Wom-
an" at Trinity Episcopal church in Osh-
kosh He said: "All the best wOm-
en- we read Of in the Bible felt that
their own life was bound up with the
life of their people, and it is the kind
cf women who are thinking along sim.
liar lines that are sorely needed at the
poles of the United State today"

The Value Of Courtesy.

If it pays to be good, 1t also pays to be cour-
teous. Goodness had it's own reward, and 90 has
courtesy. The value Of courtesy has become one
of the most valuable assets business may have.
Railroads instruct their employees who come into
contact with the public, always to be courteous,
never to lose their temper, and under all circum-
stances to placate the feelings of the passenger,
even if he is in the wrong. Railroads have found
that it pays to enforce this rule.
In the telephone business operators are put
through a strenuous course in applied courtesy
before they are permitted to operate board. No
matter how disgruntled the client may be, no
matter how unjust his demand, how unreason-
able his request, the operator answers in the
same tone of the voice, with the same patient re-
ply. Courtesy pays, say the managers of the
telephone lines.
In these two lines of business courtesy is
tested the hardest It is Illuminating to know
that now and then when courtesy is not used, and
an employe refused to accede to the just demands
of passenger or Client courts of justice have
held it fair that judgment be given the complain
ant for the damages DONE One railroad recently
had to pay $4,000 because it refused to stop
train and carry back woman who had been car
ried beyond her destination.

Kill the Fly Now.

One of the best ways Of eradicating the fly
and solving the fly nuisance is by sanitation. Put
a food blockade" into effect and the fly will
starve to death, or it will leave the community
for one where filth and dirt offer it sustenance
and opportunity to breed. Scientists say the fly
cannot fly far. 1t is logical then to conclude that
the best way to solve the fly problem is for each
citizen to keep his premises in such a canitary
condition that the fly cannot find food and Of
necessity must die.
Now is the time to swat the fly. These warm
days bring the fly from his winter home. Kill
the fly now and it will mean that the breeding
source of millions has been stopped. One fly kill
ed now is worth hundreds killed later in the sum-
mer.
The state board of health has issued the fol-
lowing journal Of house fly:
