THINK OF FRANCE!

We are complaining, in this sec
ton of the United States, about the
uncertain supply and high prices of
fuel. All things considered, we have
had cause for complaint, and are
looking forward hopefully to an al
deviation of conditions.
But compared to conditions in
France, our own is ideal. Even in
Paris. the seat of the French gov
eminent and the center of popula-
ton, where the least hardships would
naturally be expected, the suffering
is great.
The French government is doing
/ its best to help. 1t has obtained a
supply of coal which it allots to
apparatus on condition that fires be
not started before Nov. I. Here in
| Omaha we complain that the street
cars are not heated before that date.
| In Paris the homes are allowed no
| fuel before them
| Anthracite in Paris sells for S63 a
ton; soft coal for $50. We pay a
little more than a fifth of that, and
have more money and much greater
and more widespread prosperity out
| OF which to pay.
| Private consumers in Paris, unable
to get coal elsewhere, may obtain it
from the government, at the rate of
| from 1872 pounds to 264 pounds a
month, according to the size of the
apartment. At the maximum this is
fuel supply of about a ton and a
third for the five months of Novem-
Der, December, January, February
and March. At the minimum it is
two-thirds of a ton for the five
months. Most Omaha homes use more
than that amount of fuel in single
month.

no heating apparatus, frewood is re-

PROTECT cows TEATS AND
UDDER.

Prevention of injury to cows teats
and udders is most important, says
M. H. Reynolds, veterinarian, Uni
versity Farm. Injury may be caused
by dragging over high door sills, by
hurrying the cows from pasture when
the udder is full, and by allowing
them to lie on cold, bare cement
floors. The teats, especially the hind
teats of low-hanging udders, are
sometimes injured between the cows
hooks and the floor when the COW
rises.
If the injury is slight, there may
be only bit of dry blood on the
end Of the teat and the COW may be
a little harder. to milk than usual
Such cases usually heal promptly, but
lif the bruised end becomes infected

of the milk duct is permanently dam

from a teat's being stepped on by a
COW in neighboring stall, while the
COW is lying down, and if she Jumps
up suddenly actual tearing may re-
suit.
The treatment varies greatly &C

LOWELL ON THE PACIFIsT.

IA contributor 10 the New York
Times points out the singular appro-
priatene5s Of many verses Of James
Russell Lowell. written under stress
Of Civil War conditions to the pres
ent situation.
The present day pacifist probably
thinks he is q product Of the progress
of civilization He may be surprised
that they knew the breed in LoWelPs
day and that the poet long ago re-
duced their "hifalutin" theories to the
terms of common sense, as follows:
There's critturs Wit that talk and act
For what they call Cancellation;
They'd hand a buff'lo drove tract
When they was madden than all
Conciliate? It just means be kicked,
No matter how they phrase an
tone it;
It means that we are set down licked,
That we're poor shotes and glad
to own it.
Then we have the "calm, well-baI-E
anced mind,n which doesn't want US
to lose our tempers or permit our
emotions any rein:
This weighin' things does we'll enough
When war cools down and comes
to writin';
But while it's maxim. the true stuff
Is pison-mad, pig-headed fightin'.
Lowell also observed certain mem
bers of Congress, and possibly Cab
met officer or two:
The right to- be cussed fool
Is safe from all devices human;
It's common as a general rool
To every crittur born of woman.
And the following. how closely it
| fits the present situation, if we but
substitute Uncle Sam for "Abe" and
the Kaiser for Jeff, as originally
| written:
An come what will, think it's grand,
Sans got his will at last bloom
furnaced
In trial flames, till it'll stand
| The strain of being in deadly
earnest
That's what we want-we want to
know
The folks on our side has the brav-
cry
To b'lieve as hard, come veal, come
| woe,
In Freedom ez Bill does in Slavery.
Set the two forces foot to foot,
An every man knows who'll be
| winner
Whose faith in God has airy root
That goes down deeper than his
dinner.
Then twill be felt from Pole to Pole,
| Without no need of proclamation.
Earth's biggest country's got her soul
An risen up Earth's greatest Ma
ton.

AS TO KNITTING.

An Ishpenaing lady, travelling on
train last Sunday, was accosted by
lady passenger who asked:
care you knitting for the soldiers? 2"
eyes," replied the knitter.
"Well," said the inquirer, II don't
believe in knitting Sundays"
do you knit for the soldiers on
other days of the week." asked the
knitter.

blush.
"Well," said the Ishpeming lady,
IF you and your kind knitted on the
other days the rest of US would not
have to knit Sundays"

From the Governor, who was
pleased to sign the resolution, down,
Mrs. Lucas has nothing but kind
words for the men Of her state. In
deed, they seem to merit her praise
And she should know for she chap
eroned the bill through all it's vicissi-
tudes up to the moment OF passage
on the closing night after the clock
had been stopped to permit the
transaction of legislative business.
Men of all parties throughout the
state were in favor of the amend
ment and did all in their power to
facilitate It's passage.
On the last night when the bill had
not yet been reported out Of COM
mittee, Mrs. Lucas persuaded one Of
It's friends to call caucus and bind
the members by caucus rule, and
when the measure came to a vote
later in the evening, it carried with
out a dissenting voice. She hurried
with the engrossed bill to the House
to have that body recede from its
primary election clause and ratify the
SuDSt1CuCGQ general GleCIlOu. uCu
back she went to the Senate for the
presidents signature; and again to
the House for the Speakers sigma
ture and to have the bill engrossed
with it's amendments. At 2 am.
Mrs. Lucas had the satisfaction Of
enrolling the act. which will emanci'
pate the Oklahoma women If the cam
paign prosecuted by the suffragists
during the coming months is brought
to a successful conclusion at the polls
in 1918
The president of the Oklahoma
State Suffrage Association is Mrs.
Adelia G. Stephens. The corresp ond-
ing secretary is Mrs. Julia Wood
worth.
Mrs. Lucas is chairman of the
finance committee. All three are
residents of Oklahoma City, but rep
resentative women from all over the
state were largely instrumental in
the passage of this bill.

A political promise is no scrap OF

Wilson calls the moral obligation" of
the st. Louis national suffrage plank
by adopting the Oklahoma suffrage
amendment resolution in both houses
in March of this year.

victory is a story Of mans humanity
and gratitude to woman. It is told
by Mrs. Frank B. Lucas of Oklahoma

being the only woman to enroll leg

Mrs. Lucas explains, is the final dis

I understood the procedure. 1t is my
vocation to compile, annotate and

North Dakota led the whole pro-
cession of 1917 suffrage victories-the
first state into the suffrage fold in

of the newly victorious states east
Of the Mississippi to come into her
own. and Indiana is the first state
to let women vote upon their own
acknowledgements, though the women
of Wyoming territory did this in 1890
On March 6, Governor Brough OF
Arkansas signed bill giving women
a new and effective form of suffrage,
the right to vote in primary elections,
Arkansas being the first state to pass
this measure.

Two years ago we took an order for
24OO fourteen-inch armOr-piercing shells
at a contract price of $768,0OO. to be
delivered within a certain time or we
had to pay a large penalty.
The only specifications for making
these shells are that they shall be
of a certain size and must pierce
armor-plate at certain velocity on i'm
pact. 1t is impossible to foretell the
exact conditions of the tests.
We had made large quantities Of shells
m the past which had been accepted
But in placing this particular order the
Department altered the angle at which
the tested shells must pierce armor-
plate The result. however, has been
absolute inability on our part to pro-
duce in any quantity, shells which Will
meet these novel tests. In fact, we
know of no process Of projectile-mak-
ing through which it is possible to pro-
duce in quantities shells which Will
conform to the requirements.
The result is that up to now on that
contract Of S76S, 900, we have put into
actual operating expense SAT ,SS1., and
have been penaliZed for nOn-delivery

To recapitulate, the suffrage cause

men, 2,134,527 square miles, or 81
per cent of the total possessions of the
United States, except the newly &C.

woman has not 'feminized' the West

that the sort of men who respond
first to their country's call are the
sort who give their women the vote.

many of the men who are sure that
women ought not to vote because
they cannot fight have responded to
the call to arms"

Such was the experience in the light
of which we were called upon recent
" to bid for sixteen-inch shells.
We bid on these shells at approx
mately the same rate per pound as
that of a fourteen-inch shell contract
of one year ago upon which the Gov
eminent awarded contracts.
We have not the slightest idea what
profit there Will be III the making Oh
these shells. We do not know that
there will be any. There is no certain
ty that it would be possible fo- US
deliver a shell to meet the test
For officers in the Navy to assume
that any bid made under such cOndi.
tons is ''exorbitant" is utterly unfair.
We bid on the new battle-cruiser>
sums which Navy department experts.
after examination of our books, found
would yield a profit of less than ten
per cent. We agreed to assume risks
for increased costs of materials and la.
Dor. that made it possible that these
contracts might yield no profit what
ever.
The costs run beyond the amount ap.
propriated by Congress on the basis of
The cost estimates made a year ago.
And because shipbuilders could not
alter the memorable cost facts and re-
duce bids to early estimates Of the
Navy Department, the prices are called
"exorbitant."
1t would be a real advantage to be
relieved Of this naval construction. The
profit from it cannot possibly amount
to much, and the responsibility is enor-
nous.
We have determined to make this
offer to the American Government,
eff you will build two of the battle
cruisers in Government navy yards.
we will build the other two at the as
certained cost of building the ships in
the Government yards, without addi-
tional expense or commissions of any
kind. We will also contract to have
our ships ready for service ahead Of
