The growing of flaxseed is carried
on in Colorado, Iowa. Kansas, Mime
sofa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Wisconsin. In 1912 the production
was 2S,073,00O bushels, with a farm
value of $32,2O2,0OO, or an average
of $3.50 per bushel.
If anybody put in an appearance

Some Thinrs That Hughes VIII 10.

Some Things That Hughes VIII Do.
Some OF the things that Mr.. Hughes
will do when he becomes president are
these:
He will appoint man as secretary
of state who will back up what the
president says and not tell the Aus
trian government that we are bluffing.
Mr.. Hughes will not reward traitors
to the nation with high offices. He
will not and would not sign sundry
civil bill that makes law for one
class and exempts another class from
It's operation. Mr.. Hughes will not
attempt to dictate who shall he the
head of Mexico; nor will he attempt
to dictate who shall run for office in
that or other nations.
Mr.. Hughes will never send the
United States fleet into foreign port
and demand salute for the flag and
then order the fleet to come home
without that salute; and he wouldn't
call that bloody campaign peace"
Mr.. Hughes will never he too proud
to fight for the honor Of the nation
or the protection Of American lives.
Mr.. Hughes will not appoint two
Socialists into his cabinet. nor will be
endorse other Socialists for office even
II they should succeed in winning a
nomination from his party.
Mr.. Hughes will not surrender the
principle OF arbitration to force from
any labor leaders; he will never stand
for hold-up by any body OF men,
either capitalists or workers,
Mr.. Hughes will be a man. not a
monkey, when he is president.

THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT.

Woman suffrage failed at the prl'
mary in Iowa this year, notWlthstand'
ing the strenuous efforts made to Sc
cure majority in its favor. A mag.
nificent organization was maintained
and many of the best speakers OF the
country were sent into the state to
insure it's winning out. This county
gave quite large majority against II
and many other counties in the state
where it was predicted 1t would carry
lost out entirely or carried by a ma
jority SO small as not to add to the
vote. 1t is said that Dubuque county
gave the largest majority against II.
Polk county gave small majority IN
it's favor. We do not believe the cause
was helped by the arguments that.the
good people were all for 1t and the bad
people We're all against it. We 40 not
believe the cause will be abandoned.
but as long as both the political part
les have come out in favor OF the prln'
ciple of universal suffrage it should
gain in support. The eastern states
are showing less inclination to favor
it than the western states. We lmag-
inc that Iowa is just an average state
and the majority for or against it is
not large. The vote against suffrage
was not large enough to discourage
in favor Of it and was small
enough to serve notice on those OPP
posed to it that it probably Will be-

have no doubt but what congress will
be bomarded by the organization with
the purpose of submitting constitu.

this will succeed. = t-"- E.

We do not recall an instance where
