yention.
While most of the southern womer
are hard at work trying to bring
about suffrage state by state, with
practically no exception they are
agreed with the National American
Woman Suffrage association that il
the southern states fail to enfran
chise their women, there is nothing
| left but to appeal to the men of the
west and the north for a federal
amendment

tion as follows:

that it is the men of our own state
who should enfranchise us. We have

they have refused to do it that way.

the national congress, and we know
from the signs that are increasing
every day, that congress is getting
ready to do it, There are now eleven

The national association is a
broad, democratic organization, said
Mrs. Somerville, and permits its
members the widest latitude as to the
measure and kind of support which
they give to the federal amendment,

THE PASSING OF
 THE DIME NOVEL

F. Mathews, chief librarian for the Boy Scouts of America, told the; American Booksellers conventiol at New York few days ago. that the. dime and nickel novel is fast disasp-l bearing. Publishers that used ;toi is- sue. these fictlons are conaplaining that their business has been hurt by the pictuve shows.
 Mo9t grown up mens have passed through the cheap novel stage as boys These fictionss were ,secreted in desks at school, in. the hays now. and in remote corners zof the attics. The old time large sized folding geog- raphies were highly popular with the bows. They could be erected con- spicuously on desk at school, and behind it the pupil could freely read about the adventures of Bloody Bill

WHY HE HAS Y
 TO SETTLE DOWN

Whatever of gain or of loss you have
 With the others who go your way, Keep out of the past, from the first to
 the last,
 And away from the worries stay. So burdened is life with it's might
 have-beens,
 Its many outs and it's many ins, Stop and reflect, if you would not be
 By your own or anotner,s sins.''
 While the majority of men are, care free and as happy as the day is long, they laugh at the advice of friends who urge them to recollect that it's time they were settling down. In their own hearts. they know it is true, but fight shy of admitting it.
 The free lance is a single man, no wife to cater to- no responsibilities for the upkeep of a home to hamper him, children home to shoulder the responsibility of. He can roam where his fancy wills, admiring each and; every one of the beautiful women who fit across his path, hieing away tp new scenes when his friendship shows warning of dropping into a ten derer sentiment.
 Thus life goes on with him until by accident Cupid's intent (can it what you wil1) destiny leads, him all un- ] knowingly to the feet Of one woman and loI the habits am bitfon, deter mination of a life time n1eIts in sin gle hour. He becomes absorbed with the one idea-to win this woman for | his wife. It would mean settling down, cutting loose from the friends and habits holding such. a tenacious grip upon him, giving up old pursuits and what, up. to now, he had always considered his pleasures to gain the comuendation of one woman.
 Ixyf1I mol I3e- %IA down nothing in this world will.
 All at once the scales that, have been covering his. eyes drop from them. He realizes he is not getting. younger and l time makes cruel sport of those who have gradually dropped out of earnest 2 loves race. He begins. to feel the need of a home and one true woman there in to whom he is dear, one lovfng g heart all his own to which he may an Echor hts hopes. Half of the world of linen would be roaming if it were not for some sweet woman who has come into their lives unexpectedly, making havoc of all their plans and theories and decisions that the life they were leading suited them, therefore change it they would not.
 To form the resolution that he will settle down is the most ipraiseworthy stand a man can take. It is. not until then that he plants the seed of true Happiness.
 He chides himseR roundlyz as < he looks back over the hopeless years he has lost. He has seen much. of the world, but of what profit is that to the rolling stone? His home was wherever he hung up his hat. He fnev- CT knew the feeling Of supreme con tentment-the rest-t7e satisfaction ot being beneath his own roof doing as he pleased experiencing all the su- preme delight of home life.
 He thanks God and the dear wife by his side that he realized the neces- sity of settling down, making life one grand, sweet song. sIt is never toe late for the man who has procrasti- mated to retrieve. Wed and settle down.

A REFUGE FOR
 AQUATIC BIRDS


 P. An official invitation to all aquatic birds on the Pacific coast to make their headquarters in Oakland, Cal, is to be issued at once by the Park Department of that city and it is. be- lieved that the response will be a practically unanimous acceptance.
 Lee s. Kerfoot, superintendent of Oak1apd's parks, is sponsor for the plan. He will give them an island all their own, see that they are prop erly fed and that absolute protection from injury is furnished them.
 In the center of Oakland is Lake Merritt, the only salt water lake in the world that lies within a city's limits. Kerfoot's plan is to construct an artificial island, at least three acres in extent, in the middle of the lake, planting it thfckIy with trees and bushes and making it a, perfect refuge for wild fowl Not only, ducks and sea guIls will be made to feel at home on the island, but also swans, both white and back Australian, pelicans, wild geese and other wild fowl that wish a. safe refuge during all or part of thesIyear. Kerfoot's plan has the support of the city council.

COTTON INDUsTRY.

The first man to urge upon Ameri- cans the importance of the cotton in dustry was Teneh Coxe, who was born in Philadelphia 16O years ago. He was famous as a politician and political economist, but his principal claim to immortality rests upon his 1abors to introduce the cultivation of cotton ain the southern states of America and his advocacy of the use of the Arkwright spinning machine
 He was so earnest and devoted to the cause of King Cotton that his efforts were crowned with a. large measure loE success, and he is generally recog- nized as t'the Father of the American Cotton Industry" He was the au- thor of a Memoir on the Cultivation
 Trade and Manufacture of Cotton % which was published in 1907. Coxe died in Philadelphia in 1924 During the early days of the revolution he was loyal to the British Crown, but afterwards he became a Whig, and held several public offices.
