way parallels the new battle front

form and is of great strategic value.

BECAUSE
It would help those women who need
help the most. Theodore Roosevelt
recommended woman suffrage in his
message to the New York Legislature.
On being asked why he is reported
to have answered that many women
have a very hard time, working
women especially, and if the ballot
would help them, even little, he was
willing to see it tried. Mrs. Maud

it is a maxim in war: Always do the
thing to which your adversary partic.

est in the country would rather con-
tinue to contend with woman's indi-
rect influence than try to cope with
woman,s vote
BECAUSE
experience has proved it to be good.
Women are voting, literally by hun
dreds of thousands, in Scandinavia,
Great Britain and the United States.
In all these places put together, the
opponents have not yet found dozen
respectable men who assert over their

that it has done good, An ounce of

TO USE WOOD.WASTE.
Latest Business Aid Service In
stituted by Government.
Enables Wood-Using Industries to
Utilize Each Others Waste to
Mutual Advantaoe-Exchanas
Meets With Success.

Washing latest business
aid service instituted by the govern.
ment Is wood-waste exchange. It
enables lumbermen and manufactur-
ers in the various wood-using indus
tries to utilize each others waste to
mutual advantage, aiming to effect q
large saving In forest material as well
as in money.
The wood-waste exchange is being
conducted by the forest service Of the
department Of agriculture. More than
forty manufacturers Of wooden arti-
cles already have asked to be listed
as having certain kinds Of waste wood
for sale, or as desiring to obtain their
raw material in the rough or in semi
finished form from mill or factory
waste
Twice month the exchange sends
out circular headed, Opportunities
to Buy Waste" containing the names
and addresses of factories having
waste wood for sale, with exact In
formation as to species, sizes, forms
and quantities. Similarly another cir
cular headed, Opportunities to Sell
Waste" gives the specific require
ments of wood-using plants which de-
sire to buy waste material.
Z One Of the first waste problems
solved has been that of furniture
maker who wrote to the forest service
asking how to dispose of sugar maple
blocks and sticks which were cut off
In the process of furniture making
and which he had to sell merely as
fuel Samples were obtained from
him and the forest service then To-
Gated scrubbing brush manufacturer
who used small maple blocks for brush
backs. The result was that the furni-
ture maker was enabled to sell his
waste at a much higher price than it
had brought as firewood, while the
brush maker was enabled to buy brush
back material in suitable sizes at a
much lower figure than it had been |
costing him to buy maple lumber and |
tut 1t up.
Firms which have been puts into |
ouch with each other through the ex-
'hange are expected to notify the for
ut service when their requirements
lave been met; then their names are
emoved from the lists. In this way
everal concerns which early took ad-
'antage Of the plan have dropped OF
ne lists; but as more and more manu-
acturers learn of the wood-waste ex-
hange the lists are steadily growing.

THREE PROPOSITIONS

Have You Considered Them All Very
Carefully?
Equal suffrage is not the first step
in an impending revolution, but only
necessary adjustment to a revolution
that has already happened.
A voter does not vote all the time,
but is allowed number of days off
in order to attend to his private bust
ness.
Women in expressing their opinions
should be allowed to be as modest and
unobtrusive as men. - DR.. Samuel
Crothers.
The politicians who are afraid to
climb down on either side of the suf-
frage fence are finding their perches
more uncomfortable each day.
