First Women Voters.

The first experiment in woman suf-
frage was in New Jersey, which or
ganized as an Independent state two
days before the Declaration of indie
pendence, with a constitution that al
lowed universal suffrage, male and fe-
male, without regard to color. This
constitution was not changed until
1874. when suffrage was restricted to
males on the alleged ground that
women, as a class, did not care for 1t

Iportance that the existing associations of producers and distributors of food
 stuffs should be mobilized and made use of on a volunteer basis The sue lcessful conduct of the projected food administration by such means will be the finest possible demonstration of
 the willingness, the ability and the ef- Ificiency of democracy and of its iHsti- fled reliance upon the freedom of in- dividual initiative The last thing that any American could contemplate with equanimity would be the introduction of anything resembling Prussian autoc- racy into the food control in this coun- try.
 Tt is of vital interest and impor- tance to every man who produces food and to every man who takes part in its distribution. that these policies thus literally administered should succeed and succeed together It is only in that way that we can prove it to be abso- lutely unnecessary to resort to the rig orous and drastic measures which have proved to be necessary in some of the.

COUNTY DIVISION
 PETITION FILED

John Gungel, a Wilcox attorney, filed a petition with the board of su- pervisors in Tombstone yesterday asking them to order an election for the purpose of giving the voters of the county an opportunity to vote an a proposition to divide Cochise coun- ty, creating a new country to be made up of the northern half of the pres ent county.
 The petition contained total of 3300 names, claimed to be many more than is required by law. A glance over the signatures showed that they came from every part of the county. The petition will receive hearing before the board of supervisors May 2S. and in the meantime Clerk A. c. Karger. of the board. will proceed with the work of checking to find if all the signatures are within the re- quirements of the law.
 It was reported last night that res idents of Bowie, Benson and Dos Cabezos. which would be included in the proposed new county. are prepar- ing to vigorously fight the proposed county division.

firers and ammunition in order to pre- vent them from falling into the hands of the enemy in case the tank was cap- tured. This, however, did not occur, owing to the rapidity of our infantry advance. Another tank extricated it. self from mass attack made in a desperate attempt to check it's move- lhents.
 Throughout the fighting the crews of the tanks showed a spirit of audac- ity which supplemented and encour- aged the infantry and chasseurs-a-pied, the latter giving the warmest praise to the cooperation of the tanks. Life inside the cars during the assault was a most trying experience. There is lit tie room, space being allowed only for the men to operate the rapid-firers and handle the ammunition. In their ad- vances the cars crashed over obstacles and passed through the blinding hail of concentrated fire.
 "All the crews were made up of vof- unteers from all branches of the serv- ice. infantry, artillery and cavalry be- ing represented. They showed a most admirable esprit de corps and their efforts gave most effective results. !"

Hoover Asks No Salary.
 '1 have asked Mir Herbert Hoover to undertake this all-important task of food administration. He has expressed 1 his willingness to do so on condition that he is to receive no payment for his service and that the whole of the force under him, exclusive of clerical assist ance, shall be employed so far as pos. sible upon the same volunteer basis. He has expressed his confidence that this difficult matter of food adminisi- tration can be successfully accom- plished through the voluntary cooper ation and direction of legitimate dis tributors of foodstuffs and with the help of the women of the country.
 Although it is absolutely necessary that unquestionable powers shall be placed in my hands in order to insure the success of this administration of the food supplies of the country, am confident that the exercise of those powers will be necessary only in the few cases where some small and self ish minority proves unwilling to put the nations interests above personal advantage and that the whole country will heartily support MT. Hoover's er- forts by supplying the necessary vol unteer agencies throughout the coun- try for the intelligent control of food consumption and securing the cooper ation of the most capable leaders of the very interests most directly affect ed that the exercise of the powers dep- uted to him will rest very successfully upon the good will and cooperation of the people themselves. and that the or dinary economic machinery of the country will be left substantially undis- turbed.
 Only for Emergency.
 The proposed food administration is intended, of course, only to meet a manifest emergency and to continue only while the war lasts. Since it will be composed for the most part of vol unteers. there need be no fear of the possibility of a permanent bureau cracy arising out of it. All control of consumption will disappear when the emergency has passed. It is with that object in view that the administration considers it to be of pre-eminent i'm

But another brother who is different; his friend, and a professor, and for each of these there is some one else, so that fun and frolic intermingles with the more serious ele- ment The cast differs from that of other years in that it is chosen entire ly from the freshmen and sophomore classes.

 Final Action Deferred
 The proposed second class mail rate increases and the advertising tax are causing the committee much concern. With the committee virtu- ally agreed to accept the Moon amendment on the second class mail rates and stand by the five per cent tax on all advertising except news papers and periodicals now in the bill, Representative Johnson of Wash ington. a newspaper publisher, and Representative Fitzgerald of New York. injected new proposals into the situation today which resulted in the committee deferring final action un- til tomorrow.
 Representative Johnson declared that the Moon plan. to increase the mail rate on periodicals carried in the mails to any zones above the sec ond, was unjust. and suggested a sub stitute plan passing the mail rate on the number of subscribers served by mail and the subscription price of the newspaper or periodical affected without regard to distance carried Under this plan 8 publication selling at 30 cents a year would pay in ad- dition to the regular present one cent rate a new rate of one quarter of a cent per pound dp to 10000 subscrib- CTS. At 10000 subscribers the addi- tional rate would be raised to one half cent per thousand.
 Changes In insurance
 Representative Fitzgerald proposed to reduce the five per cent tax on all advertising except newspapers and periodicals to one per cent and ex- clude only county weeklies within their home counties.
 Numerous minor changes were made in the life insurance section of the bill today. None of the rates were affected. but several exemptions were stricken out and reinsurrances added to the exempted class.
