FORMER TEACHER
TAKES OWN LIFE
Miss Nora Bartrem, Drin ks
Deadly Poison, and Dies
in Lansing Hospital.

Paw Paw was shocked last Tuesday
morning 10 learn that Miss Nora Bar
trem of Port Huron, Que of the teach
ers in the Paw Paw schools the past
year had taken her life in Lansing
Briefly stated the facts in the case
are as follows:
During the year 1913, Miss Bartrem
became acquainted with Duane Mosier
of Paw Paw while attending the U. of
M. at Ann Arbor A warm friendship
sprang up between the couple, which
continued until quite recently. and
there was a tentative understanding
that at some time they would be mar
RED Mr. Mosier decided. however, and
had explained to her, that it would be
better for both of them if the tentative
engagement we're broken. She was of
nervous, melancholy disposition and
brooded over the disappointment.
Gu Tuesday she left her home in Port
Huron and went to Lansing TO see
Duane. He was in Ionia on business
connected with the Attorney Generals
office, and she awaited his return. She
was sitting on .he porch at his board
house abl0;30 T.. M. when he returned.
At her request they started for walk.
They had not gone tar, when she asked
him to step ahead, as she desired to fix
her stocking. He did so, anc hearing
gurgling sound turned TO find her
drinking the contents Of small vial
He at once hahed a passing auto, aud
the unfortunate girl was taken to her
hotel, where in company with the house
physician she was hurried to the hos.
pital. In spite of all that coulc be done
she passed away at 300 O'Clock 10 the
morning She had taken blchlorlde of
mercury, and another vial of the same
poison together with loaded revolver
both of which she purchased after ar.
irving ln Lansing, were found in her
grip at the hotel.
The unfortunate girl was a highly
educated lady of refinement and cul-
ture, and made many friends in Paw
Paw during her stay here. She was of
a nervous temperament, however, high
strung aud Of a melancholy disposition.
It is thought by those who knew her
best that she became temporarily de-
ranged, and went to Lansing with the
rtention of killing both Mosier and
herself.
Duane is distracted Over the tragedy,
but 90 blame can in any manner be
attached to him. At bis request d
postmortem was held conducted by
two Lansing physicians who attended
her and the family physician of the
Bartrem family.
In signed statement, it was shown
that deceased came to her death by the
use of bichlorlde OF mercury admins
tered by herself. That there was no
suggestion Or evidence of any kind or
nature that would prompt her to take
her life.
The parents of Miss Bartrem also
stated that they bad no ill will toward
Duane or anyone. They seemed to
realize that the nervous tension under
which their daughter labored had been
growing worse for nearly year and
that the sad ending Of her life was the
elimination of an hysteria over which
she had no control.

ONE FARMERS EXPERIENCE.

There are plenty of people (not
farmers) who undertake to tell the
farmer how to farm, and the advice,
whether good or bad, is usually
scoffed at for very apparent reasons.
Here is the experience of an actual
successful Oklahoma farmer. written
by himself. for farm paper:
"An experience covering a number
of years of farming under Oklahoma
conditions has enabled me to formu-
late a definition of what ii takes to
be successful farmer on the average
quarter-section OF land. Briefly il is
as follows:
L. Freedom from debt
2. Boys old enough to work. so as
to avoid hired labor.
8. A wife who is able to sell
enough butter and eggs to pay all the
living expenses. "
A farmer who can follow these
three simple rules is very apt to sue
ceed. Frequently crop failures do
not affect the family living. When
a good crop is raised, the proceeds
are mostly available for improve
ments and new equipment.
Young men fresh from college,
who contemplate active farming,
would do well to study the above
formula of successful farming. Right
now their idea consists of rotation
and diversification of crops, and the
extensive raising of livestock That
these are fundamental truths of sue
.cessful agriculture cannot be denied.
But ask any experienced farmer if
they tell the whole story.

VOTES For WOMEN.


II has not been many years since
the man who advocated Woman Suf-
frage was regarded with the awe in
which one holds an inmate OF luna
tic asylum, and the man who prophe-
sled that Woman Suffrage would one
day become universal, was openly
dubbed a fool.
II was argued by those who said
it was impractical as we'll as impossi-
BILE that woman's sphere is the home.
and that her duty in life is TO be
wife to her husband and mother to
her children and that woman could
not do these things and fool with pol
itics and public office at once.
Conditions have changed. as have
the opinions of men. Several States
already have equal suffrage for wo-
men and men and there is no doubt
ing that this victory for women in
gaining the ballot has gone a long
way toward purifying politics in ev-
cry State where the women vote.
The experience of these pioneers in
woman suffrage has had a marked
effect upon other States, as we'll as
upon the Representatives of both the
leading political parties. The Repub-
lican National Convention endorses
the ballot for women, but modifies
the endorsement by adding that each
State should settle the question with
in it's own boundary and that it
should not be handled as an amend
ment to the Federal constitution.
The Democratic National Convention.
in session just one week later, went
step further and recommended the
extension of the right of franchise to
women of the country without quail
fication. Hc r
Eliminating the political reason
which both conventions may have had
for this plank in each platform, viz:
desire to corral the Progressive vote,
the acceptance of the principal of wo-
imam suffrage by both the dominant
parties is undoubtedly final and
means much to the women who have
/ been making the fight for the ballot
these many years and is regarded by
the leaders as a decisive victory for
their cause.
Even in our own State sentiment
for equal suffrage is growing rapidly,
and those favoring it seem to be In
majority this time. We, ourselves.
have contended that politics is not
fit for good women to deal In, also
that womans duty is as aforesaid.
but our observation of the good that
women have done by their ballot has
almost converted us to their way of
thinking and seeing.
If Section 12-A of the Constitution
is put into effect, as is advocated by
Campbell Russell, Russell's home
school district will be one of the benz
aficiaries; Muskogee county, Russel's
home county, and the third richest
county in the State, will be a benefit
siary; more than half of the school
districts in the State will be impov-
erished, and Russell (alleged poor
mans friend) will net close to $60,-
900 in fees from the operation of the
section, and he has cleverly contrived
to legalize that fee If the section car
