JOE BROOKS TO
 LEAD PEDACOCUfS

Fighting Joe" Brooks, center on the State Normal football team for four years, yesterday afternoon was elected captain of the 1916 team to succeed Dutch" Moore, who has left school. Brooks explained the team four years ago, and is the only Ped agogue to be elected twice to the captaincy.
 Fighting Joe" came to the Nor nal from Plainview five years ago as green as gourd, so far as a knowledge of Rugby is concerned. He appeared one afternoon on the athletic field, asked for a uniform, and has played in every game staged by the Teachers since that time, with the exception of one year, when he was not in school. He is perhaps the hardest worker on the squad, is always in the heart of the battle and never is willing to give up.

women idle, but did not appreciably increase the family income. The in creasing cost of living gradually ne- cessitated larger income. The fac tories needed a great deal of cheap labor and women, being able to do this work and being wholly inexperi- enced and unskilled, and knowing no other way to make a living, sought and obtained work in the mills. Great department stores and other mercantile establishments were built up, all of them being largely employ CTS of female labor, as clerks, book keepers, stenographers, etc., and so it was, and is, in other lines, until today, with approximately 100000 women employed in gainful occupa- tlons outside homes in the United States, and with the untold millions of women in Europe, who, in addi- tion to those already there, have stepped "manfully" into the breach caused by the necessity for the sol diers and shouldered and carried the burden of keeping the wheels of in- dustry and government turning, woman is firmly established and do ing her share in the business and in dustry of the world.

PANTS 57 YEARS OLD
 HELD AS A HEIRLOOM

J. L. Mizell, well known Craig township citizen now nearing the four score mile post, was a Clinton visitor Monday, making the trip here and return on horseback. Among other business attended to while here was his annual renewal of subscription to this paper-an in- dispensible article, so he freely stated, in his household. "Some time since," said MT. Mizell, I noticed in the Democrat where Wilson Pate had a white vest, Billy Hunter pair of white pants and Bag Thomas an old shotgun which all prized very high ly as keepsakes in remembrance of early days. We'll, just tell them have a pair of white linen pants that l bought at Dresden, Tenn, in 1859, have worn them quite little and there's not hole in them now" MT. Mizel added that he wore these pants on the occasion of his first marriage in 1871. The pants are now in the possession of his daugh- ter, Mrs. William Hall, who is re- taining them as family heirloom.- Van Buren County Democrat.

LIGHTNING HITS
 HOUSE 5 TIMES

Waher Brady's residence at Nay Tor was struck by lightning five times in rapid succession during the cleo tric and hail storm which visited this county Thursday night of last week, according to a Conway man who vis- tied at Naylor yesterday. That different bolts struck the house was plainly shown by their course along different parts of the house. AL though the residence was consider ably damaged, it was not set on fire and it is considered remarkable that no one in the house was injured.

NEW WACONYARD IS
 CROWDED TO CAPACITY
WagOnyard Business in Conway Indicates Wide Extent of City's
 Trade Territory.

Ravens & Sons new brick wagon yard on East Main and Chestnut streets, which opened for business this week, has been crowded to it's capacity ever since opening, H. w. Ravens stated to the Log Cabin Democrat today. Although the yard has capacity for nearly 100 wagons and teams, last night several had to be turned away for lack of room, he said. The Ravens yard is declared by many who have inspected it to be the finest in the state. It is 90x13O feet in dimensions, with brick walls, the lower floor being delivered to stalls and shed room, with res taurant room in one corner. The up per floor is provided with large roomy sleeping quarters, sanitary beds, toilets and lavatories.
 The amount of wagonyard busi- ness in Conway is remarkable, and frequently 300 to 400 wagons and teams are accommodated here in a single night. Other towns in the state the size of Conway have only one or two and in some instances no wagonyards. This is accounted for by the fact that Conway's trade ter ritory is probably the largest in Ar kansas, embracing portions of about nine different counties and farmers come from such distances that they spend a day on the road and are forced to remain here over night.

TRACES ORIGIN OF
 WOMAN SUFFRACfT
(Continued from First Page.)

Wife, daughter or slave, was abso- lutely within the power of man. He could abuse her and beat her or put her to death without a public trial and be within his legal rights. In the later days of the Roman republic and in the Roman empire her condition was very much bettered, but she was still under the control of man. Among the barbarous nations of western Eu- rope her condition was much the same, and it was only after the dark ages that it underwent any material change
 Perhaps there was reason for this early subjection. At that time there was very little organized government or police. Every man had to depend upon himself to protect him and his During the day of the small city states there was still very little law and order as we conceive it now, and then and later during the era of great empire building there was constant fighting not only against an outside foe but to keep down internal disor- der. The existence of the state was directly dependent upon force. Force ruled absolutely. Fighting was neces- say and was the one -eminently genteel and popular occupation. Un- der such a regime woman could take but little part and have slight influ- nl. C., ed to be the bearing and rearing of other fighters for the state. Laws made under such circumstances were rather crude and recognized those on- ly who were able to compel recogni- tion by right or might Abstract principles counted for naught. Ac- cordingly, women, slaves and others similarly situated were practically ig- nored.
 All during this same period cover ing centuries there were practically no industries at least according to modern standards. Hunting, agricul- ture, husbandry and limited amount of trading were almost the only means of earning livelihood. Even down to our own late colonial days every home was complete within itself, and the women had plenty to do to spin, weave, tan leather, cure meat, etc. They were allowed no education, it not being thought that they needed it. The limit of the homestead constitut- ed the horizon of the women, and un- der the circumstances they had little time or energy to try to see further.
 Then an industrial revolution took place. Manufacturing establishments sprang up. The old hand and foot power spinning wheel and loom were removed from the home, and many new ones gathered together under the same roof and propelled by steam. Machine made clothes be- came better and more economical than hand and home made ones. And in various other ways the burdens of housekeeping were frightened. Co., incident with this industrial change and because of it, people began to congregate in large cities. Less la Dor was required to keep a home run ming in city than in the country. All of these things coming at the same time left large number of
