LIVING ARGUMENT FOR
SUFFRAGE.
All They Need to Do is to Point to
Mrs. Carrie Coffin Rutledge.

Fort Dodge, Ia, May 29.-Web.
ster county suffragists have a good
refutation of the ants stock argu-
ment that "woman's place is in the
home and her first duty is her chill
dren, not politics
Mrs. Carrie Coffin Rutledge is the
local suffragists' living reply to the
ants. Mrs. Rutledge has seven chill
dren. She has one of the best look
ed after and model homes of the
county. For long time she has
been regarded as the county's 'ideal
mother" -Four of her seven chill
dren have gone through college and
the other three are getting there as
fast as they can. Nobody can say
that any of the seven Rutledge chill
dren was neglected or that they were
bad kids"
In the suffrage campaign, Mrs.
Rutledge has been one of the suf-
fragists' strongest assets. She is q
good speaker and she has much in
fuence with the farmers of the coun
ty because she has lived on a farm
all her life and she knows a lot about
the practical side of farming.
Mrs. Rutledge is the only daugh-
ter of the late L. S. Coffin, better
known in Iowa as Father Coffin. He
was we'll known philanthropist. She
has ben an ardent suffragist ever
since when little girl in school,
she slipped away one night and lis
tened to Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Susan B. Anthony.

Closed Season-Iowa
Complaints Con-

Fort Madison, May 29.--An.
nouncement of change in the feder
al migratory bird law was authenti
Gated yesterday by the receipt by 10
cal hunters of letters of Secretary
of Agriculture Houston and H. w
Henshaw, chief Of the bureau of bio
logical survey, stating that the chan
ges had been approved and would be
effective Aug. 16 next, subject to ap
proval by the president.
Iowa hunting has been forbidden
for two years under the act, which
is still being contested as it's constitu.
tionality in the United States su.
preme court, and thousands of hun
tiers in the state, especially duck
hunters along the Mississippi river,
will rejoice in the new regulations
which provide an open season for
Iowa from Feb. 9 to March IL, and
from Sept. Is to Nov. 16.
1t has been indicated that the
changes just announced were large
ly encouraged by Iowa complaints
against the former regulations.
That portion of the new regula-
lions pertinent to Iowa reads:
The closed season on waterfowl,
including coots and gallinules, shall
be between Dec. FL and Sept. next
following, except as follows:
m Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Kan
sas and Missouri the closed season
shall be between March IL and Sept.
Is, and between Nov. 16 and Feb.
8.
Persons recommending changes in
the regulations or desiring to submit
evidence in person or by attorney as
to the necessity for such changes
should make application to the Sc
cretary of agriculture. Hearings will
be arranged and due notice thereof
given by application or otherwise as
may be deemed appropriate. Persons
changes should be
prepared to show the necessity FOR
such action and to submit evidence
other than that based en- reasons of
personal convenience or a desire to
kill game during a longer open sea-
son.

POSTAL SAVINGS TO AMOUNT OF
$1,000 ALLOWED NOW.

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the post Office.
This is made possible by an impor-
tant amendment to the Postal Saw
ings Act just approved by President
Wilson. A postal savings depositor
may have an account amounting -
$1,000 upon which interest will. be
paid. Formerly $500 was the maxi
mum amount he could have to his
credit. This enlargement of postal
savings facilities will be very graft
flying to thousands of depositors who
have already reached the old $50t
limit and are anxious to entrust more
of their savings to Uncle SAM. Anoth-
or feature of the amendment that
will avoid further embarrassment 20
the public and 10 postal officials is
the doing away with the limit on the
amount that could be accepted from
a deposition monthly. Under the old
law only $1o0 could be deposited ir
a calendar month. the amendment
abolishes this restriction. While the
Postal Savings System has already
proved a signal success as is shown
by the fact I hat more than half a.
million depositors have over eighty
million dollars standing to their
credit, still it has fallen short Of
meeting the full demands Of the pub
lie because of the restrictions which
save now been eliminated. Postmas-
ter General Bsrleson and Third As.
sistant Postmaster General Dockery
have been tireless in their efforts to
secure modification of the imita-
tons and the new liberalizing legisla-
ton is particularly gratifying TO
them.

him to fasten his little wagon behind

MAKING BICYCLES.

Bicycle riding has increased to
such an extent during the past two

Bicycles are lighter, cheaper and
better than when the fathers of the
present generation of youngsters,

old heavy "safeties" over rough, un-
even roads.

The 1916 convention will repeat
in a way the fight over delegates
which split the party in 1912. There
are 50 contested delegates. Twenty
nine of these, it is said, are Roose-
Wit men. If the Roosevelt men lose
the winners will be scattered among
several candidates. National Secre-
tary Reynolds declares SO is the
smallest number of contests a con.
vention has had to decide.
In the middle west the principle
bit of political news emanates from
Missouri where Herbert Hadley, for
ulSI SONSIuOI, anu UOOmeu IOT the
nomination four years ago, was de-
feated in his desire to be chairman
of the Missouri delegation. The
standpat republicans control the
Missouri delegation.
There is no excitement in demo-
cratic ranks. Wilson will have no
opposition at st. Louis. Rumor has
it that Bryan might be selected as
the prohibition candidate for presi-
dent, if he would consent to take it,

Methodist conference at Saratoga
Springs that he could no longer fol-
