Ballots for Both
Pine Tree State

81 have no new or original reasons
for the faith that is in me, in regard
to ballots for women" writes Mrs.
Juliette H. Cakes of Livermore Falls,
superintendent of the departments of
Medical Temperance and Anti-Narcot-
les Of the Maine w. C. T. u, but all
the good cid reasons that have been
propounded from the earliest days of
the movement to the present time. l
believe jim justice for all. Taxation
without representation is not justice.
The forefathers gave it fitting name.
This is an age of progress. The day
has passed when the mothers of the
race, by whom the hardest battles are
fought, can be classed with IDIOTS, luna
tics, paupers and Indians not taxed
If a woman breaks a law she is pun
ished by law. No male relative, though
voter, can be punished in her place.
She should have voice in making
laws to which she is amenable. There
are nearly nine million women bread
winners in the country. They should
help in saying how the bread material
should be used and taxed. l believe in
suffrage because the liquor interests
oppose it, safe and sufficient reason
if there We're no other"
Every woman knows that any work
that needs doing is womans work.
When the men are late coming home
from market she does the chores.
When they are busy with the hay she
mlks the COWS. When an extra hand
is needed she helps in the field.
And she knows that her dignity does

her womanliness. When the taxes are
due she draws on her butter and egg
money hidden away in the blue sugar
bowl. To help pay off the mortgage
she spends long winter evenings put
ting patches on the boys trousers.
Does not this prove that the farmer
and his wife are partners? They work
together. Why not vote together? Let
your husband know how you feel about
it so that he will help you to get the
vote.

Editorial Comment
Counting a Billion


The effort of the government to
raise large sum of money through
the so-called Liberty Loan has led the
people to talk glibly in terms of mil
lions and billions, but one may well
wonder how many comprehend such
figures. To give the people some
idea Of what the Liberty loan in
wolves, the National City bank Of New
York is sending out a circular, headed
How Much Is a Billion Dollars?" Its
explanation may be put as follows,
without going into details: Suppose
you had one billion silver dollars.
stored where moth and rust do not
corrupt, nor thieves break through and
steal; how long would it take you to
count your pile? Well, the limit Of the
federal treasury expert counters Is 1900
silver dollars an hour. Working eight
hours a day, therefore, an expert can
count 81, O0Oosilver dollars a day. At
that rate it would require thirty one
days to count a million. But this is
hardly more than a beginning, for a
billion is one thousand times larger
than a million. Counting at the same
rate. therefore, 1t would require one
hundred and two years. keeping busy

turers and some dealers who, like rum

Remember the Days to Follow.

The American people could well
profit by the good advice Of high Jap
anese officials to their people. The
Japanese ministers Of finance, home af-
fairs. communication and agriculture
and commerce have done a remarkable
but exceedingly wise act. Over their
official signatures, they have issued in
structions to the local governors urg-
ing them to encourage habits Of thrift
and saving among the people Of their
procedures. This appeal has since
been followed by a circular from the
vice ministers of each Of these depart
ments, demonstrating the manner in
which such a campaign against waste
can be carried on. Here is the text
Of the letter from the four ministers Of
state:
The war has been instrumental
in greatly advancing Japan's ex-
port trade. and has developed vari-
Gus kinds Of industry. with great
activity in the economic circles Of
Japan. These phenomena all give
prosperity to the Japanese, but
should the people be spoiled by
good times, which are only temper
airy. and indulge in luxurious life.
the results will be injurious to the
country. While engaged in a life
and death struggle with the enc
my, the belligerents in Europe
never forget their preparation
against the situation after the
war. The Japanese people should
save what they have earned since
the outbreak Of the war, so that
they may be prepared to weather
any depression which may follow
a declaration Of peace.

Is not an ailment that God hasn't

The choice medicinal herbs which
will cure women's ailments were dis
covered more than forty years ago,

Samples Of Farming Wisdom.

Samples OI dETtIttt9 vvsSoStis
Following are specimens Of the
amazing stuff given the press from
Authoritative" sources, concerning ag-
riculture and the food situation. 1t is
from the current "Haskin Letter. pub
lished by many papers and probably
regarded by some people as enlighten-
ing:
THE primary purpose Of price-fxing Is
to assure the farmer Of a good price for
his products, so that he will raise all that
he possibly can. 1t has been the inva-
riable experience of the farmer that
small crop pays better than large one.
For example, a man could make more
money last year out of a half crop OF po-
tatoes than he could two years ago out
of bumper crop. The South gets more
for moderate cotton crop than it does
for a big one. Every farmer knows this.
And every farmer for that reason is ex-
tremely suspicious Of the propaganda on
the part of the government and the press
for him to plant more and produce more.
and in developing new lands, when his
entire experience teaches him that big
national crop of any staple will mean low
prices for that staple. And his costs of
risk low price.
"For example. right now big potato
crop is needed badly. But it costs s35 to
plant an acre in potatoes, Unless prices
stay at a very high level the farmer cam
A. T. Russell of the wisconsin State
Agricultural college told the House COM
mittee on agriculture that for this rea-
son he had advised students of that insti
tet ton not to plant potatoes. man can
plant crop of beans this year for about
81, and beans are much better risk,
therefore, than potatoes"
1T costs s35 to plant an acre in pota-
toes" What do you suppose the writer
Of that sentence had in mind-the mere
act Of planting" an acre, or did he
mean the entire cost Of preparing the
land, until the seed is in the ground?
Do you suppose he had any idea Of the
meaning of his bald assertion?
Most of our readers know that, this
year, seed for an acre of potatoes costs
about s45; that fertilizer for the same
acre will cost from $40 to $50, according
to potash units; that blowing, harrow
ing and planting will be about $40 more.
And then comes spraying, cultivating,
hoeing, more spraying, and yet more
spraying, and digging. Thus to figure
the cost Of raising" an acre of pota-
toes, this year, s125 to $40 would be
fairly sensible statement
The same writer in the next breath
says: "A man can plant crop of beans
this year for about four dollars, and
beans are a much better risk" etc.
Pray what is crop" of beans? If
he means the cost OF Seed his four dol
lars would buy one-third of a bushel
The Maine farmer will smile in pity
for this all-wise Haskin's knowledge of
the risk" on beans, in this year of I'M
usual cold and sudden changes with the
prospect of frost nearly every month of
the season. But perhaps Mr.. Haskin
was thinking OF planting his 81 crop
down in Virginia.
BE that as it may, lot of other
writers are sending out and some edi-
tors are giving space to, any quantity
of advice 20 farmers of the same quail
ity as the above quoted.
