TOPS DENVER MARKET
Rocky Ford Man Gets Highest Price
Ever Paid for Ewes

Earl P. Bennett, the well-known far
mer of Holbrook, was on the Denver
market Monday with carload of ewes
for which he received the highest price
ever paid on this market. The sheep
averaged 80 pounds in weight and were
sold for 8 cents.
1t was quite lucky for Mr.. Bennett
that he got on the market early in the
week, as the price of sheep and lambs
has been falling gradually for the last
few days and it is reported that it need
occasion no surprise if they continue to
slip. The drop in price is believed to
have been caused by the arrival of
Texas grass fed stock on the eastern
markets.

Oscar Underwood Given
 Cane by J. H. Wallace

Montgomery. October 31.-(Special ) Oscar w. Underwood, United States Senator from Alabama, soon will be the possessor of a walking cane of shittim wood, wood indiginous only to the Holy Land and to Madison coun- ty, Alabama. The cane was sent to Senator Underwood today by Commis- sioner John H. Wallace, Jr., of the state game and fish department Com missioner Wallace, as Is known, Is a son of Madison county.
 In his letter to Senator Underwood the donor of the cane, in describing the wood from which it was made, said:
 "The ark is said to have been con- structed out of shittim wood, and by reason of the strength and stability of it's material 1t withstood the raging storms and glided smoothly over tur- bulent seas until at last 1t rested in sweet security upon the goal of Its destiny.
 "It is my profoundest hope that the shittim wood cane I am sending you may allegorically prove talisman and support you safely through all of life's vicissitudes and enable you to ascend the ladder of fame until at last you shall have achieved the topmost rung of success"

EQUAL SUFFRAGE ACTIVITIES
 AS REVIEWED BY A SUFFRAGIST
By pArT1E RuFFNER JACOBS

of the other campaign states; it will spur the campaigners to redoubled eff forts. The sNew Jersey districts whose voters are commuters from New York city gave large favorable vote, and the districts bordering on Pennsylvania made an excellent showing.
 President Wilson's vote in favor of the amendment brings to mind the fact that he is not the first President fa- voring the enfranchisement of women. Abraham Lincoln, as far back as 1886, publicly expressed himself in regard to it; Presidents Hayes, Garfield, Har- rison and Roosevelt believed in it. Every member of President Wilson's cabinet, from state voting on the question this fall, except Secretary Lansing, will vote for suffrage. Sec retary Lansing has not had time to register, so will not be able to vote for or against.
 Speaking of publicity devices in New York, the following excerpt from re- cent letter written by Mrs. Milton Humes of Huntsville who Is known and beloved by all suffragists, will be of interest. Mrs. Humes has been in New York for sometime, and took part in the monster parade week ago. She says: .oThough the march began prompt
