out of ground covered by quaken as

OF pillow land, and each year sees in
creased acreages of grain. The qua

garden this year some yellow Golden
Bantam corn grew to a height of
seven feet and furnished roasting ears
in plenty for the family table. More
than a bushel of this corn was pre-
pared and dried by Mrs. Williams. It
is n of the finest eating corns raised
IN the northwest.

Mrs. j. d.. Price, who resides on a
ranch three and one-half miles south
Of Crystal, was successful in raising
early and late vegetables in her gar
den this year, although some of her
n%eighbors failed to do so, owing to the
-depredations of gophers and squirrels.
The carrots in the garden of Mrs. Price
grew particularly we'll and gave a yield
far beyond expectations. The garden
was put in the middle of a wheat field
and during the summer but trace of
one squirrel was found and no damage
at all was done. In sections of the
county where squirrels are numerous
the plan of putting the garden in a
grain field Will perhaps solve the pro-
blems of avoiding damaging visits
from these rodents.

that the dairy and the chicken flock

ranch during part of the year.

CANNOT ARM OUR SHIPS.
Armed Neutrality Bill Killed In
Congress Saturday.

Washington, March 3:-The Arm
ed Neutrality bill was killed under
the most dramatic circumstances
ever witnessed in Congress.
Sharp upon the stroke of II
o'clock, in the stale Senate chamber
,edolent with the mephitic odors
bred by bad ventilation and close as
sociation for forty-eight hours, nine
ty-two members of the Senate,
wearied from the lack of sleep and
strung up to a high nervous tension,
focused their eyes upon the Vice
President as he declared the Senate
adjourned sire die.
At the same moment the Presi-
dent of the United States passed
through the lobby, within ten feet
of the Vice Presidents chair. on his
way to the room where he was to
take the oath of office to succeed
himself.
In the galleries on the four sides
of the chamber and twenty feet
above the floor of it sat as many
people asthere were accommodations
for. In the halls outside of the gal
lery entrances were long lines of
men and women trying to push the
doorkeeper for an opportunity to
crane their necks over the heads of
tn, more fortunate and eager for an
opportunity to look down upon the
extraordinary spectacle.
Those that succeeded saw the
Senate at its worst-untidy, dis
heveled. petulant. angry, sarcastic.
ill-tempered and at times ill-man-
nered.
The Senators themselves. who un-
der ordinary circumstances would
put forward their best fronts on
such an occasion. were apparently
Indifferent to either outward appear
ance or their personal conduct.
Most of them looked as if they had
literally not been to bed for week,
furnishing visible proof that they
had not at least enjoyed the morn
ing tub, explored their linen chests
or received the attention of their
BARRIERS or safety razors.
The floor was Uttered with paper,
copies of bills, scraps of memoranda,
roll calls. half chewed cigar stumps,
segments of sandwiches. bits of
chewing gum-or tobacco-pencil
ends, torn calling cards and such
odds and ends of personal posses
sions as find their way to the floor in
a room that hes been neglected for
a day or two.

SUFFRAGE RESOLUTION
DIDN'T Reach COMMITTEE

A resolution favoring suffrage for
women was not passed at the convention
Of the Women's Federated Clubs OF
Delaware this year owing to the fact
that it did not reach the resolution COM
mittee in time, but more was said OF
a suffrage nature at the federation CON
vention this year than at any previous
year Mrs. W. A. Powell (nee Heidrickl
in her opening speech said;
woman must not sit back in fanciful
security and feel that 'wman's place
is in her home These days her place
is anywhere her children are. The
woman of today is laying down her en-
broidcry and taking mp her task of fam
lily conservation in the only way il can
be done through the community"
II is trie that housekeeping is
woman's business, and that her success
depends not only on herself, but on the
way her town is governed. The control
of food, air, light water. health, educa-
ton, morals and all living conditions is
in the hands of the towns officials. Is
it not common Justice and common sense
to let the woman in the home share in
electing the men on whom depend the
comfort of the home and the life of the
children?

bitrariIy DISTINGUISHED,
Says Noted Orator

Dr. stephen S. Wise, lin his long to b
lemcn bered speech in Wilmington, on
the third Of June. said in speaking of
the suffrage crisis of the times;
Because ours is war for democracy,
We believe that the time has como for
immediate Acknowledgement Of the
women Of the nation. We have no right
to purport to battle for democracy as
long as millions of American citizens
are arbitrarily and r>asonlessly disfran-
chised. Let there be no abatement of
the struggle for the acknowledgment OF
the women Of tho nation IL is little
leEs than absurd that we should be en-
tering upon a war for democracy as long
as we refuse to accept the ultimate Inn
plications Of democracy, which would
not for a moment endure the disfran-
chiscment Of millions Of Americans One
Of tho planks in the platform Of war
wa1ed for democracy must be that we
are warning on behalf Of government OF
the people, by the people, and for the
people, and that the women Of tho ma
ton. who bear wars burdens, as they
bear the burdens OF peace, must be in
oludcd in the number Of those making
the choice Of democracy for themselves
and for all peoples"

get 10 becomes paramount. For a great
many the answer has always been, "by
amending State constitutions" But Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait has recently point
ed out unacceptable reasons in support
Of the Federal route TO suffrage. Es-
tabhshed precedent. rigidity of State
Constitutions, loose election laws, the
inherent naticnalism Of the suffrage
question, and economy of procedure
makes a strong fertilization for Mrs.
Cats argument. Her summary il as
follows:
%. Suffrage for men and suffrage
for women in other lands, with few and
minor exceptions, has been granted by
parliamentary act and not BY referenda
Practically the same method is provided
by our Federal Constitution. To deny
its benefits to the women Of this country
is to put upon them penalty for being
Americans.
(2) Congress determines conditions
OF citizenship and State constitutions
fix qualifications OF voters In no in
stance has the foreign immigrant
been forced to plead with vast
electorate for his vote To deny
American women as easy a process
or securing their vote as has been
granted to men is a discrimination
so fragrant and intolerable that no
fairminded imam should be a party to
it.
(3) The Constitutions Of many
States have provided for amendment
by such difficult processes that thew
either have never been amended or
have not been amended when the sub
1ect is in the least controversial
Woman suffrage Is caught in the coils
Of constitutional technicalities. Not
to be willing TO release It and give
It fair chance before the country
is un-American.
"a The election laws of al States
make inadequate provision for safe
guarding the vote on constitutional
amendments. Since election laws DO
not protect suffrage referenda suf-
fraglsts demand the right prescribed
by our national constitutional to ap-
peal their case from male voters to
the higher court of Congress and the
legislatures.
90 Woman suffrage Is regarded by
every other country as a national
question. Politicians may prefer to
hide behind the arras Of a secret ball
lot in a referendum which relieves
them OF responsibility. but the women
Of the land who are self-respecting
enough to want a vote ask square
deal" by national action.
