FARMER RADFORD ON
WONAN SUFFRAGE

The home Is the greatest contribu.
tion Of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies of
hope and her refinement Is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
latiye products Of generations OF
queenly conquest, and her crown OF
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom Of sanity mothers. She
has been great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Amcri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens Of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences Of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities Of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood Of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
Of our domestic welfare and guide
- hi0her life. but directing the af-
fairs Of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her TO neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business OF
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character. SO that the lives Of
our people can properly function
around It and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

a Plea For the Mule.

In history and poetry, in music
and in art he horse has been a
favored beast and played leading
part; and while ] don't begrudge
him to fame that he has won.
there's been too little said about
his sisters long cared son. We
praise the foamipg charger and we
weave him in song, but how about
the humble beast that hauIs the
grub along? He snakes the can
non over muddy field and road
an Is never knownto whimp-
er or complain about his load. In
times of peace as we'll as war, the
mule is not sbirk, when Dobbin
takes a balky spell it's Jasper does
the work. 10 many ways he proves
himself much wiser than the steed,
be never takes an overdose OF wa

to run away when by ambition

with care and stops before he's

DECLARED insane
SIMON BURG OF CLARK COUNTY
ORDERED SENT TO
YANkTON.

Clark, Sept. 20.-Although girls
and young women from many states
in the union have been bombarding
postmasters, newspapers and even
city and county officials of South Da-
kota with letters asking for help in
locating husbands for them from
among young farmers of the Sun
shine state, yet this county has a
young farmer who has just been de-
clared insane because of the fact that
he has been living along on a $40
acre farm, doing the homework and
nearly all of the other work on his
big place without help.
Simon Burg was brought before
the Clark county board of INSANITY
last week and a~djudged insane. He
will be taken to the hospital at Yank-
ton shortly for treatment.
The evidence showed that for sev
eral years Burg. who is a young and
prosperous German farmer. has been
doing all of his own work, and the
solitude, poorly cooked meals and
lack of companionship has driven him
insane.
Neighbors have been complaining
of his queer actions and his threats
to kill them.

him to keep clear of South Dakota.
'Jocko" said he was headed for
Sioux City to greet old friends. He
told railroad men that he expected to
make his headquarters at THE
House of the Crooked Camel" which
he said ne understood was the refuge
for many of his old pals. Detectives
here said they feared he would not
meet many old friends, as most of
them have departed for various rea-
