ty Mass Meeting Of Women.

be enfranchised by February, 1920, the
State and National Woman Suffrage
organizations are turning their atten-
ton to organizing schools to prepare
women for intelligent discharge Of
the duties and responsibilities of citi-
zens. Suffrage leaders every where
are organizing 1.-THE League of Women
Citizens" for the study of the problems
of citizenship.
On Friday, December s, at $3.50 p.
M, Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, Presi-
dent of the Kentucky Equal Rights As
ISOLATION, and Miss Annette Beveridge

citation, will speak to q mass meeting
Of Maysville and Mason County Wo-
men. Place to be announced later,
Mason county women have never
been In the rear In any great work
that has been given them to dor-nor

League of Women Citizens" to have

BURLEY PRICES SHOULD
BREAK RECORD. .CANTRlLL
Congressman Cantrlll, In Statement,
Says That Burnley Prices Should
Be Higher Than Ever Before.

Washington, November 30.-on the
eve Of the opening Of the hurley tobac-
co markets in Kentucky, Representa-
tive ]. c. Cantrill tonight gave out a
statement in which he said From
every reasonable standpoint the price
of tobacco this year Of the hurley type
should break all previous records"
ct is we'll known in Kentucky, he
says, that the crop Of tobacco grown
in the year 1918 was an unusually
large crop of hurley tobacco, and yet
on October /, 1919, the stocks ip the
hands Of the dealers and manufacture
ers were practically the same as the
average amount during the. past eight
years. 1t also is we'll known to every
one conversant with conditions In the
hurley tobacco district that the crop
grown this year is an unusually short
crop of tobacco, and, applying the law
of supply and demand, there Is every
reason to believe that there will be
an unusual demand for the crop OF
tobacco which will go into the mar
ket shortly, and there is every rea-
son why, owing to the scarcity OF
hurley tobacco and the stocks in the
hands of the manufacturers and deal
ers, the crop which is to be sold this
winter of hurley tobacco should bring
a higher price than ever in the history
of the tobacco market"

this land holders class that makes a

This king of the land and horses

forth something inherent in the Bra

in the middle ages of Europe, but with
the striking difference that this older
and influential Brazilian social order is
being voluntarily changed and mixed

both the president and Mr.. Hines

because 1t is, like the United
States, melting pot of the nations.
When President-Elect Epitacio Pes.
soa was here recently he said. in pub
lie address:
Having In mind the close rela-
tons which have always existed be
tween our two countries it is not sur
prising that the entrance Of the United
States in the great European con-
fiict should have had decisive In
fiuence on Brazil's procedure. To the
precious title of friend, uniting our
destinies and claiming our share OF
effort and sacrifice, we added that of
aIly-allied to the nation which has
just furnished TO history the most
brilliant examples of ability and force.
sNow that the monstrous scourge
mas disappeared from the face of the
civilized world, and nations, impelled
by accumulated energy in the making
up of lost time. are to resume their
old life of peace and toll, Brazil will
rejoice In continuing to develop more
and more the relations Of every kind
which bind her to the United States,
and to strive for this end will be one
of the fondest endeayors OF my gov
ernment."
II is thus Of particular Importance
that the United States endeayor to I'M
derstand the conditions of life in this
vast melting pot Of the nations. The
melting pot OF Brazil is not just like
ours. 1t seems, however, to be quite
as complicated a boiling. The racial
diversity in Brazilian society is as pro-
nounced as is the variety of It's geo.
graphical groups. A study Of the home
life is n study in ethnology. The orig

plunged suddenly into this divertine
congeries of human, national and IA
cial amalgamation, Is inclined to sym
pathize with the probable enIfghten-
ment of Colonel Roosevelt, who is re-
ported to have inquired of sea cap
tain concerning the population Of a
certain West Indian island, when the
old sea dog replied: swell, there are
some Spanish. few French, some Por.
tuguese, few Dutchmen and a dozen
other races the Lord didn't intend"
The amazing wonder of all (espe-
cially to North American less faInil-
lar with European races, and holding
decided views concerning color lines,
etc.,. is the manner in which this coun-
try is slowly, and apparently with har-
mony and democratic social and racial
relations, evolving a distinct Brazilian
type. The salient characteristics of
what is becoming to be known as the
true Brazilian character include the
aristocratic culture and high intellt-
gence Of the old family Portuguese
stock, at once Latin and Moorish by
Inheritance, the exaltation, daring and
passion Of vigorous aborigine's blood,
softened by the affectionate, emotional
strain of the African, especially in
north Brazil--the whole shot through
with typical modernity and enterprise
that marriage and general contact with
European races have afforded. With
such elements, the national home life
Of Brazil is being compounded.
The Latin races are said to be lack
Ing in homelike qualities, as compared
with English or Teutonic peoples.
Moreover, the Portuguese. who gave
Brazil formative principles, were more
truly the copyists of Roman civillza-
ton than any other European stock,
and the Romans We're famous for their
slight attention tosthe home. Yet Por-
tugai has been ever land of homes
and her new world Brazilian daughter
has inherited her instinct. It Is q land
placing great emphasis on family life.
There Is always danger, In writing of
a subject Hike Brazilian home life, for
the narrator to overgeneralize. Home
and family life Is, like the civilization
generally diverse. and 1t Is necessary to
decline the stratum Of life one Is TALK
ing about IL an attempt Is made TO
find universal characteristics. There
is the home of the seringuero or rubber
eatherer in the lonely fastness of the
Amazon wilderness, and the tepee of
the still savage Indian Of the forest
Jungle. The fisher folk, considerable
clan scattered along the Brazilian
coast from the extreme north to the
Argentine boundary, have a life dis
tinctive, bringing their fauls Of flsh
ashore in frail looking boats and In
light hearted talk and song sit about
their rude huts at twilight to sup on a
BIT Of farina, drop OF native whisky
and some of the Brazilian dried beef
to the accompaniment OF the violao.

gantic country. he must needs write
