Extracts From
"Why Man Needs
Woman'S Ballot"
(By Clifford Howard)

That there has come radical change
in our domestic conditions does not az
feet the natural instincts of the woman.
She is still the woman, with the SELL
same powers and capabilities and de-
sires. The only difference is that today
these functions must find their ex-
preston under different conditions, I'M
der different auspices. And that is
precisely what is happening. With the
constant lessening of individual house.
hold duties, with the decrease in the
size of families, and with the increased
efficiency and capacity of women, the
alert, progressive woman of today finds
her housekeeping instinct extending to
the municipality and her instinct Of
motherhood to the children Of the
| whole nation. She is still maternal,
and will ever remain so, and the home
| is still her sphere.
| When the anti-suffragists declare
that the woman's place is the home we
grasp them by the hand and say amen
most earnestly. The woman's place is
the home. But today would she serve
the home she must go beyond the
house. No longer is the home COM
passed by four walls. Many of it's most
! important duties now lie involved in
the bigger family of the city and state.
In the matter of schooling, for ex-
ample, not only does the public gov
eminent supervise the studies of the
children and provide them with the
traditional routine book knowledge, but
today it is taking the little tots from
the mother and teaching them in the
kindergarten, and the older children
are being taught music, and sewing,
and cooking, and domestic economy,
and manual arts, and trades-subjects
CT instruction which but a few years
ago were matters of private and indi-
vidual concern and subject to the d.
rect supervision of the mother. Today
therefore, this one time home duty can
be exercised only by taking an interest
and a part in government administra-
ton. 1t has passed from the individual
home to the community home.
So, also in the matter of food. Today
the woman cannot exercise any direct
personal supervision over the product
Of the necessities of life. If she would
assure herself that the flour, the bread.
the meat, the milk, the canned goods
and the prepared food stuffs Of all
kinds that come into her house are
wholesome and pure and At to eat and
are served in correct measure, she
must see that the state and city laws
with reference to the production and
disposal Of food are being properly en-
forced and properly compiled with

TO THE NEWSPAPERS OF MAINE,
NEW HAMPSHIRE AND VERMONT.
Your are respectfully requested to pub
lish the following notices. or such parts
Of them as your. space may permit, with
out cost to the Government for the In
formation of all persons and corpora
lions concerned
We know of no reason under heaven
why we should assist the government
to collect it's income tax, why any
newspaper or other publication should
be assessed to settle the bills OF this
tax gathering machine, any more
than the banks, the merchants OF the
farmers should be assessed. Our
stock in trade is newspaper space and
II the government wishes to make use
of it we know of no reason why it
should be favored over other advertis-
ers. If the government cannot afford
to pay the expense Of gathering the
income tax. it should increase the tax
" SoStl Liz SAiA - q
! war" tax, if it wishes.
The other day a smart Aleck. in a
department Office demanding free adj
vertising, assured us that it was a
matter of public Importance, something
the people desired to know, hence 1t
! was news and newspapers duty"
to give space to it.
Our retort is that we know where
there is a fine line Of underwear at a
| reasonable price and some of our read
crs would like to know just where to
find it, but they do not expect us to
give them details gratis; they expect
the dealer to let them know at his own
expense and not ours We know where
there are some fine cabbages at five
cents per pound, an unusually high
price ard although about the best that
can be done at this time, it is not for
us to tell our readers all about it be-
cause we know that few would be
interested.
We say to the collector Of internal
revenue. IF you have something to
say to the public, go out and hire your
own hall"

The Nickel.

ne NICKEL.
Oh, here's to the nickel,
So shiny and bright,
That serves me so often
From morning till night.
It takes me to business.
Or blackens my shoes;
It pays for smoke,
Or provides me with news.
When 1 go to the movies
1t takes me inside;
II travel by jitney
It pays for the ride.
In q tip for the waiter,
The barber or kid
Who brushes my clothes
And then hands me my lid.
It quenches my thirst,
Or 1t buys me stew
It sure beats the deuce
What a nickel will do.
So here's to the nickel,
Let loud praises swell
To this wonderful coin
That has served me so well.

Puzzles.

Where can a man buy cap for his knee,
Or a key for a lock of his hair?
Can his eyes be called an academy
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of his head what jems
are set?
Who travels the bridge Of his nose?
Can he use when shingling the roof of his
mouth,
The nails on the ends of his toes?
What does he raise from the slip of his
tongue?
Who plays on the drums of his ears?
And who can tell the cut and style
OF the coat his stomach wears?
Can the crook Of his elbow be sent to
Jail?
And if SO, what did 1t do?
How does he sharpen his shoulder blades?
I'll be hanged if I know-do you?

We have all been accustomed to
Crawford county land selling for $3.50
to 5000 an acre. but it is uncommon to
have soil in the county sell for as
much as $500 per acre. R. L. Robin
