Mail Order Houses and the Farmer.

AS the city resident should patroniZe
the merchants who make their living
by doing business in his community. so
the farmer should likewise feel an obli-
cation toward those merchants who
build up the villages and cities in the
immediate surrounding territory. In
many communities anti mail order
leagues" are formed, enrolling in their
membership all the farmers of a town
ship who agree to keep away from the
great trade organizations Of money

. help to support them.

4 CHEAP ANTI ARGUMENT DIsPRovED.

One Of the arguments of anu-sul-
fragists has been that II women are
10 vote the cost Of elections will be
largely increased 1t is cheap argu-
ment to advance in the tace OF human
rights but one that the opponents OF
every reform grasp at gladly as efec-
tive. A comparative compilation OF costs
has been issued as to this matter to-
zether with statements from the gov
ernors and secretaries of state where
women vote which should take all the
punch out of the cost argument
The general election held in Iowa in
1914 cost the state Of Iowa slightly
more than sl720oO. These figures are
taken from the Iowa Official Register
Of lsl5-19l6, pages 8s2-ss3. They were
compiled by the law department OF the
state library.
This represents the total expense OF
the general election of 1914 with only
men voting. II the women were voting
the only additional expense would De
the cost of the extra ballots and the
cost of the one or two days necessary
for extra registration in places where
registration is required. This additional
cost would be very slight. Thus the
Official statement of Iowa dispels the
contention that the cost Of elections
would be greatly increased II the wom-
en- voted.
Governors and secretaries OF state in
those states where women vote. have
made some very interesting statements
as regards the increased cost of cleo
tons. A few representative answers
to this query follow:
wyoming-"woman suffrage has no
increased taxes in this state nor cos
Of elections"
Observation-Disclosures cost Of cleo
ton expense because Of woman voters
Is very little"
Kansas-"Increased cost Of election
insignificant" ss.
1daho-"Added election expense in
| hpitesimaL"
thru women voting not worth consid
| ering."
The cost Of elections in Chicago las
year with women voting was only
| cent per capita greater than in 1eoa
when men alone voted. according t
figures in the annual report Of the Chi
cago election commissioners.
with the exception of one year, tn
vote cast in 1915 was the largest Il
Chicago's history: yet the cost per vot
cast was az cents less than in 1914
and 10 cents less than In 1913. .,-%a
The argument of increased cost is q
effective against an increase Of popu
lation or the registration of new voter
as against woman suffrage. Like a
anti arguments It is equally effectis
and reasonable against men 40 again,
women.

YELLOWSTONE PARK.

The Yellowstone Park is a large
playground filed with curiosities Of
many kinds, including the female tour

season. and see more natural curl

A,saroM AND rHE OTHER EeLLows.

A good many years ago section
boss was caring for track on the
Northwestern road near Boone. He
didn't draw a salary or hold posi-

MANS wages. 1t is reasonably safe to
say that $40 a month was the limit up
wards for section hands and section
foremen didn't grow rich on their
wages then any more than they do
now.
