LONDON, Jan. 12.-"The old quar-
rel of men with women is over; now
we can work together for the good OF
humanity"
Trembling with excitement and Joy
this was Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst's
exclamation today when she learned
from the United Press the action OF
the United States house OF repre-.
sentatives in approving equal suf-
frage in America.
Il wish wish-well-" she said.
Words do not go far enough to tell
how deeply I feel.
1T was perfectly splendid of them
and President Wilson supported the
cause.
THE fact that the women OF Brit.
ain and America got enfranchise.
ment on the same day is happy
augury. 1t forecasts common sue
cess of their countries in the future
Our first thought following the
action OF our own hodse of lords In
approving suffrage, was our solemn
responsibility on receiving the vote
at time when the country is en-.
dangered and SO much is at stake.
THE women's parties first resolve
should be to increase the win-the
war efforts. II we lose the war
votes will be useless. Women's first
duty is to make the country safe.
mo doubt the women OF America
feel the same way
II am glad to offer congratulations
to our American sisters. We rejoice
in their success as much as in our
own"

Coolest Temperature of the Present
Winter Puts keokuk in Glass
With Coolest Cities Of the
United States.
MAY WARM UP SUNDAY
Trains In and Out Of the City Are Be.
ing Annuled and Are
Late in Ar
irving.

Keokuk, with a temperature of
twenty-one degrees below zero at
midnight last night. is one of the
four coolest cities in the United
States today, according to the
weather report The lowest last
night was twenty-one below. and the
seven o'clock observation this morn
ing showed the temperature to be
fifteen below. The weather man
promises slowly rising temperature to-
morrow, although below zero tenn
perature is due for tonight again.
Miles City has low temperature
of twentyfour below; Bismark, TWEEN
ty-two below, and Havre, twenty be-
low. 1t was eighteen below at Des
Moines, and the same at Davenport
Keokuk evidently got the full force
of the Medicine Hat draft when old
man winter opened the doors.
Observer Gosewisch at Keokuk hit
it yesterday when he said that the
temperature would drop to twenty
below during the night. Six years
ago today it was twenty-four below
zero. This was the day that the
Masonic temple and Dodge's theater
burned, and the firemen fought the
fire in a gale.
The wind last night and today is
making it seem SO much colder and
is causing considerable suffering.
Train traffic into Keokuk is very
badly demoralized on account Of the
extreme cold and high wind which
is drifting snow onto the rails.
The coolest record for the winter
was twenty-seven degrees below,
which occurred in February several
years ago. This is the coolest day
Of the year SO far.
Trains are AnnuIIed.
The local offices of the Burlington
route announced today that trains No.
80 and 81 on the Keokuk and Mt. Pleas
ant branch were annulled today and
that No. so would be annulled Monday
This Is on account of the snow and
cold weather
ALI switch engines at Keokuk in the
yards were frozen up this morning,
and all traffic into Keokuk was prac-
tically paralyZed as to schedules at
least. Train No. one due here at 1925
O'Clock was leaving st. Louis about
10: 30 o'clock this morning Train No
IL was scheduled to arrive here at
1890 from the north. Number four
lis annulled and number three. north
bound was scheduled to go up at SO
as usual.
The Wabash was having its troubles
too The train due in here yesterday
at 11:40 didn't get in until last night
The afternoon train was annulled be-
cause of the equipment not getting n.
The Rock Island sent a passenger
and freight out this morning. The
train due to arrive here at IL o'clock
was not expected TO get out of Eldon
until that time, three hours and half
late.

TESTING OF SEED ,ORN UNUS-
UALLY IMPORTANT
There Is a Shortage, and Vitality Is
Low-May Be Tested at Home or
Sent to State Seed Labora-
tory

There is a marked shortage of seed
corn this year. Reports to this eff
feet come from all the leading corn
states. In Colorado much of the corn
was caught by an early frost. Con-
sequently, it failed to mature prop
erly and its vitality is low. 1t is
particularly necessary, under these
conditions, to test the corn for ger
mination before planting. 1t may be
necessary in some instances to use
1916 corn that has been held over, but
in any event the seed should be tested
for termination. Although the ger
mination of first class corn should be
80 to 95 per cent, under conditions as
they exist this coming spring, corn
terminating above 20 per cent should
not be discarded, but the deficiency
in quality should be made up by
planting more thickly.
Test your seed corn at home. A
box with two or three inches of soil,
will serve the purpose. Keep well
moistened and at temperature of
10 to 81 degrees Fahrenheit. Test
out individual ears and select the best.
Six to ten grains from individual ears
planted separately will give one in
formation about the performance of
these ears and the poor ones can be
discarded altogether.
Seed may be sent to the Colorado
Seed Laboratory for test, which is
made free of charge.-W. w. Rob
bins, Colorado Agricultural College

Many of the teachers expressed
themselves that it was the best they
ever attended, and they had atterded
many. It meant real work for each
teacher, but they went at it with a
zeal that meant much to them. The
instructors were at their best, and the
I zeal and spirit of the teachers II.

Indeed, it was more like a summer
school than an institute, and the re.
mark was made, in our presence that
