Sandstorms in the spring have
become a menace to young
croos on clean sandy land, and
the thoughtful farmer is endeav-
oring to find a way to protect
his young cotton and other crops
from the hard winds which blow
from the west or southwest at
that season of the year. 1t is
not unusual to see whole fields
and many of them where the
small cotton has been blown to
pieces or wrapped up wi tn sand.
The opinion of those who have
made close observations is that
plenty of humus in the land will
largely overcome this trouble.
This then is another of the many
splendid reasons why every acre
should be growing something
during the winter. There are
vetch, rye, oats, wheat, several
kinds of clover and a number of
other cover crops which may
be grown in winter. Don't have
any idle acres.

is A WOMAN A CITIZEN

The Chesterfield Advertiser
in discussing the action of the
Winthrop college authorities in
awarding the Chesterfield coun-
ty scholarship to Miss Houser
who is said to have been in the
county only temporarily makes
the following statements:
I'VE do not begrudge Miss
Houser a scholarship at Win
throp. She is doubtless a wor-
thy student and ambitious, but
we do say that she ought to have
tried for this scholarship in the
county in which she was educa.
ted and was making her home.
we hea-tily commend Super
intendent Rouse and Mr.. Swear
ingen for the stand taken by
them in this matter and only re.
gret that they have no authority
to safeguard the county scholar
ships, though they are partly
paid for by tax money, Chester
field paving its pro rata share.
There is one phase of this
question that ought to occasion
serious thought. The word "cit.
izenship" is freely used in these
discussions. 1t is said and re-
peated tnat she had not establish
ed q citizenship" in Chesterfield
County, Now what we want to
know is how could she establish
a citizenship in this or any other
county? So far as we have
been able to learn citizenship"
does not apply 10 women at all.
Only men are "citizens." if we
are not mistaken. Women are
only women. Apparently our
wise lawmakers have not thought
it worth while to take note of
women when prescribing the
length of time a residence is re-
quired IN order to establish a
citizenship.
I'VE fail to see that the ques-
ton of citizenship can enter this
discussion because we are not
talking about citizens but
women"
1t is with the last two para
graphs of the above that we de-
sire to take issue. That "Only
men are citizens" is contrary to
our understanding of the term
and to the definition given in
the best dictionaries. A citizen
a member of state; person,
native or naturalized, of either
sex, who owes allegiance 10 a
government and is entitled to
reciprocal protection from it"
says the NewInternational.
The ballot is by no means
necessary to citizenship. This
young lady was a citizen of the
county while she made her
home in it, but the Winthrop
authorities should require ap.
pIlcantS to be citizens of a coun.

Tbe steamship Humboldtis due from the south this afternoon on the first trip of the season. Among her passen- gers for Douglas is Mrs. Wm. Stubbins, who is returning from business trip to the Sound.
 John Rangren. a native of Sweden, aged 5l years, died at St. Aun hospital yesterday morning, after an illness lasting about six weeks. Deceased had been a resident of Douglas for many years and was the owner of the Mission Flats on Fourth street. Funeral serv- ices will be held at the Congregational church on Thursday, March 10th. The interment will be at Jhe Douglas ceme' tery.
 A petition asking for a special cleo tion in the town of Douglas to take a referendum vote on the notifications Co the municipal election law provided for by the territorial legislature, came up before a special meeting of the council last Thursday night. It was found that the election ordinance con taiued no provision under which the special election could be called for this purpose, aud that the official call for the annual election had been issued, SO no action was taken.
 A letter to the News from Mark Tatom, who is now living with bis family at Portland, Oregon, brings the information that they are we'll and happy. Mark says that Grandpa R. J. Willis aud wife visited them a short time ago; that Bob had just had all bis teeth pulled out aud could not talk much. After six weeks of hard winter weather, the spring is coming now. Mark says chat he is getting tired of stopping around that country and thinks be will soon hit the trail for his old hauuts. "Some people" he con rinues, "are having a hard time since the state went dry. One of my neigh bors has a cream separator. l get keq of cider aud we run it through the separator. Three glasses of it will raise you off the ground two feet"

William Hale Is Dead

Many of the old-timers in Douglas will remember "Billie" Hale, as he was called in the years of his stay on Doug las Island. The following account of his death we take from the Breckeu- ridge lMissourD Bulletin:
 William Hale was born in Monroe Township, Daviess county, Mo-, Decem- Der IS, 1856, and departed this life in Breckenridge, Mo-, February 7th, 1916, at the age of 50 years one month and 20 days. He grew to manhood on the farm in Davless county, where be ob- tained good common school education which enabled him to transact the bus iuess affairs of life. In the spring of 1878 he left bis native state, going to Nevada, thence to California, where he engaged in mining for six years.
 He went to Alaska in 1885, where he lived for fifteen years. Under President Cleveland he was appointed deputy United States marshal for Alaska, where his long residence lasting over fifteen years covered the most stormy period of that country's history, during the gold rush to the Klondike, when all manner of criminals went to that coun. try, making a hot bed of crime and when it required a man of courage to execute the laws.
 lie was ever loyal to his friends and to every trust, upright and honorable, scorniug the mean things of life and loving his fellow man. A short time before his death he said, "Tell them l am going out without ill feelings against any one in the world"
 Since 1900 he had lived in Brecken ridge with his brother, R. E. Hale. In 1915 he was appointed by the Depart ment of Commerce at Washington to take the census of manufactures aud it was while engaged in that office that he was stricken to his bed on April 9th with that dread disease, cancer.
 After suffering untold agony for ten months, he passed to that "far conn., try" as written above. He leaves a mother over SO years old who was un able to attend the funeral of her son, three brothers-John w., who was his constant nurse, Richard E. and Chas. M., of Hamilton, who with a host of relatives and friends mourn his death.
 Iutermeut was in Lickfork cemetery, Wednesday, February 9th, at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. w. R. Vineyard, of Breckenridge.

Rogers Elected at Auburn

M.G. Rogers, who during his resi- dence in Douglas, never uspired to any thing higher than to be a member of the town council, has been elected a school director in his new home town. The Seattle Post Intelligencer of March 9th contains the following under an Auburn date line:
 M c. Rogers was elected school di- rector here yesterday in contested election. Rogers received a majority of 333 in a total of 1,173 votes cast. Hart, who has been a mem Der of the board for the last twelve years, received bis biggest vote in the Algona section of the district, where he boiled 175 votes to Rogers 55. In Auburn, however, Rogers overcame the AlRoua lead by polling eos votes to Harrs 245. All of the available automobiles in town were employed in getting the voters to the polls, resulting in the heavy vote. The number cast did not total the number last year. when 1,199 votes cast resulted in the election of J. B. Seavey to the board by a majority of one.
